THE HANGOVER

The liberal left is waking up to a world class hangover.  It started with Harvey Weinstein.  Everyone knew he was a disgusting pervert, but they didn’t care as long as he brought them fame and fortune.  Now that his ability to deliver fame and fortune has disappeared, the truth about him is on full display and his strongest supporters are running for the exits.  All it took was for one news organization to report the truth.  A New York Times reporter, Jodi Kantor, got permission to investigate this and report on it.  Once that happened, Weinstein was toast.

When the Weinstein story broke, a lot of people finally sobered up, realized who they were actually sleeping with, threw up and for the first time in decades actually looked at themselves in the mirror.  It was a life changing experience.

Now those same people are looking around and seeing things clearly for the first time in forever.  Bill and Hillary Clinton are just as disgusting as Harvey Weinstein with the added component that they literally sold our national security for 30 pieces of silver.  They also lied to everyone, including those who were stupidly willing to believe them.  It is an irredeemable breach of trust.

The Clinton cover-up continued, until this week.  That all changed overnight.  Suddenly the Washington Post, the New York Times, the Associate Press and many other news organizations are reporting the facts about the Clintons and the facts are really ugly. Perhaps this is a carryover from the Weinstein effect.  What triggered it is a letter from Matthew Gehringer, General Counsel for Perkins Coie, LLP to William W. Taylor III at Zuckerman Spaeder, LLP:

This letter confirms that: To assist in its representation of the DNC and Hillary for America, Perkins Coie engaged Fusion GPS in April of 2016 to perform a variety of research services during the 2016 election cycle.”

KABOOM

As recently as last week, Fusion GPS officials were pleading the 5th Amendment to resist testifying under oath before a congressional committee.  They were also resisting subpoenas from a congressional committee to avoid admitting who funded this research.

”One of the arguments used to resist these subpoenas was: “the records would reveal the identities of all of Plaintiff’s clients, contractors and vendors, most of whom have zero relevance to [the committee’s] Russia investigation.”

Perkins Coie called their bluff.  Anyone involved with litigation for a major corporation is very familiar with Perkins Coie.  This is one of the largest and most respected law firms in the country.  This letter, written by the General Counsel for Perkins Coie is obviously intended to distance themselves from Fusion GPS, the DNC and the Hillary for America campaign.  They literally threw everyone under the bus.  This is nothing short of a public divorce.  Anyone remotely familiar with Perkins Coie and how they operate will recognize the significance of this event.

This is a major bombshell and it is always hard to estimate the full extent of the damage.  All we know at this point is that this is far too big to ignore.  I wouldn’t be surprised if Robert Mueller is confronted with bi-partisan requests for his resignation and a bi-partisan demand for a truly independent counsel to investigate this.  Robert Mueller sure looks a case study in hiring the fox to guard the hen house. Even the most character challenged Democratic rat has to be looking for the easiest exist from this rapidly sinking ship.  Democrats will try and fail to pretend there is still a need to investigate alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia but under the circumstances that looks absurd.

This is as devastating as it gets.  Immediate action is required to restore faith in the Department of Justice.  The main stream media should be more than embarrassed, they should be humiliated.  I expect them to turn on the DNC and Hillary Clinton with unstrained outrage.  Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned or a complacent media lied to continuously and sanctimoniously for the last year.  Actually they’ve been lied to for eight of the last nine years.

CNN, of course, will desperately try to ignore this story and then downplay the significance while simultaneously pretending some trivial thing done by the Trump campaign is smoking gun proof of the crime of the century.  That hasn’t worked all year and it won’t work now.  The longer they continue ignoring what is now more than obvious the more damage they are doing to their network.  If only I cared.
