Fox News and Congressional Republicans have made an aggressive case for nearly two years that the special prosecutor’s investigation into the Trump campaign and Russian interference in the election was a completely biased witch hunt launched and run by the Democrats.
I was initially skeptical of this claim, but now that the Mueller investigation had ended, it’s perfectly obvious that his probe was nothing but a carefully orchestrated Democratic smear campaign. Don’t believe me? Just look at the following facts and timeline, going back to the start:
The Republican head of a special House committee spends 28 straight months conducting multiple investigations into Hillary Clinton’s actions in the Benghazi incident. No charges are filed.
The Republican head of the FBI leads an investigation into claims that Clinton improperly stored and transmitted information on a personal email server and decides that no charges are warranted.
The Republican head of the FBI launches an investigation into whether Russian operatives colluded with the Republican presidential campaign to influence the upcoming election after receiving a tip that a Republican foreign policy advisor of the Republican Presidential candidate had bragged about such a partnership.
The Republican former director of intelligence, who is secretly meeting with Russians, appears at the Republican national convention and leads the Republican delegates in chants of “lock her up, lock her up.”
The Republican head of the FBI announces just days before the election that the Clinton email investigation is being reopened. No charges are filed, but the news throws the Clinton campaign on the defensive and helps swing the election to the Republican candidate.
The newly elected Republican President appoints the Republican former director of intelligence as national security advisor, a Republican former member of his transition team as attorney general, and another Republican as deputy attorney general.
The Republican national security advisor meets secretly with the Russians and discusses the lifting of sanctions and lies to the FBI about those meetings.
The new Republican White House counsel is informed by the Justice Department that the Republican national security advisor has lied to the FBI about his contacts with Russians.
Weeks later, news reports appear detailing meetings between the Republican national security advisor and the Russians.
The Republican President fires the Republican national security advisor, saying that he did so because the Republican national security advisor had lied to the Republican Vice President.
The Republican attorney general testifies before Congress that he had no contacts with Russians during the campaign. When that statement is proven to be inaccurate, the Republican attorney general amends his testimony and recuses himself from any Russian investigations. This means that the Republican deputy attorney general will direct such investigations going forward.
In testimony to Congress, the Republican head of the FBI reveals that his agency has been investigating Russian interference with the election and possible collusion with the Republican presidential campaign.
The Republican President meets with the Republican director of the FBI and asks the Republican director whether the Republican President was a target of the investigation and requests that the Republican director end the FBI’s investigation of the Republican national security advisor.
The Republican President lets the Republican attorney general and the Republican deputy attorney general know that he is going to fire the Republican head of the FBI and asks them to prepare a written justification for that firing.
The Republican President fires the Republican director of the FBI, using a letter from the Republican attorney general and the Republican deputy attorney general as justification.
The Republican President goes on national television and states that he had decided to fire the Republican director of the FBI before hearing from the Republican attorney general and the Republican deputy attorney general and that the Russian investigation was a factor in that decision.
The Republican President meets with the Russian ambassador and discusses the firing of the Republican director of the FBI, calling him “a nut job” and noting that “I faced great pressure because of Russia. That’s taken off.”
A week after the Republican President fires the Republican director of the FBI, the Republican deputy attorney general announces the appointment of a prominent, lifeliong Republican as a special prosecutor to look into Russian interference with the election and possible collusion with the Trump campaign. Several Congressional Republicans state publicly that the Republican special prosecutor is an ideal choice for the role.
The Republican special prosecutor moves quickly, and within five months files charges against the Republican former chairman of the campaign of the Republican President, the Republican former deputy of the Republican former campaign chairman, the Republican former national security advisor, and the Republican foreign policy advisor to the campaign of the Republican President.
The Republican former national security advisor, the Republican foreign policy advisor, and the Republican former assistant manager of the campaign of the Republican President all plead guilty to knowingly lying to the FBI and agree to cooperate with the Republican special prosecutor by telling what they know about the activities of other Republicans.
The Republican President repeatedly insists that no one in his election team or administration had any contacts with the Russians.
It is revealed that the following members of the Republican President’s team had meetings with the Russians before or after the election: the Republican President himself, the Republican son of the Republican President, the Republican Secretary of State, the Republican Secretary of Commerce, the Republican campaign manager, the Republican deputy of the Republican campaign manager, the Republican attorney general, three Republican foreign policy advisors, a Republican campaign advisor, the Republican President’s Republican lawyer, the Republican real estate advisor to the Republican President, and the Republican brother of the Republican Secretary of Education.
The Republican assistant attorney general and the Republican special counsel approve a raid of the home, motel room, and office of the Republican President’s personal attorney.
The Republican former manager of the campaign of the Republican President is found guilty on eight counts of fraud.
The Republican former manager of the campaign of the Republican President pleads guilty to all charges brought by the Republican special prosecutor and agrees to cooperate with the Republican special prosecutor.
A Republican former attorney general submits an unsolicited memo to the Republican-controlled Department of Justice and the Republican lawyers of the Republican President that calls any investigation of the Republican President for obstruction of justice “fatally misconceived” if no collusion is proved, because then there would be no criminal motive for obstructing justice.
The personal attorney of the Republican President pleads guilty to tax fraud and campaign finance charges and agrees to cooperate with the Republican special prosecutor who is investigating the Republican President.
The Republican Attorney General, after months of withering complaints from the Republican President, resigns at the request of the Republican President.
The Republican President appoints a Republican as acting attorney general.
The Republican lawyers for the Republican President submit written answers to questions from the Republican special counsel.
The Republican President appoints the Republican former attorney general who wrote the memo saying that an obstruction of justice charge against the President would be “fatally misconceived” to serve as attorney general.
The Republican former attorney general is approved to serve as attorney general by the Republican-controlled Senate Judiciary Committee.
The personal attorney of the Republican President pleads guilty to lying to Congress and tells the court that the Republican President directed him to violate campaign finance laws and that the Republican President lied about not having any business dealings in Russia.
A Republican former advisor to the campaign of the Republican President who communicated with Russian hackers and Wikileaks is indicted by the Republican special prosecutor on seven counts, including one count of obstruction of an official proceeding, five counts of false statements, and one count of witness tampering.
The Republican attorney general receives the final report from the Republican special prosecutor. The Republican special prosecutor does not find that anyone in the campaign of the Republican President conspired with Russians. The Republican special prosecutor does not reach a conclusion on the obstruction charge.
The Republican attorney general and the Republican assistant attorney general decide that there is not enough evidence to charge the Republican President with obstruction of justice, claiming, just as the Republican attorney general noted in his unsolicited memo from ten months earlier, that there can be no criminal motive for obstruction if it was decided that there was no case for collusion.
After reviewing the report by the Republican special prosecutor and making his decision on the obstruction charge, the Republican attorney general does not release the Republican special prosecutor’s report to Congress or the public. instead, the Republican attorney general releases a four-page summary that states that while the Republican special prosecutor did not reach a conclusion on obstruction, the Republican special prosecutor “did not exonerate” the Republican President
The Republican attorney general officially closes the investigation of the Republican special prosecutor.
Which brings us to the critical juncture that we have reached today, when the Republican attorney general’s report on the Republican special counsel’s report makes it clear completely to the entire world that there was zero substance to the Russian investigation, that the investigation did not accomplish a damn thing, that there was absolutely no contact between the Republican President’s campaign and the Russians, that the Republican President has been completely exonerated, and that this whole mess was just another plot by the lamestream media and the traitorous Democrats to ensure that America never becomes great again.
It's easy, people: It’s not a witch hunt if the Republicans are running it!
