It is increasingly clear that the attempt to impeach Donald Trump has failed. While there will still be some huffing and puffing, Democrats have blinked and are trying desperately to negotiate a surrender. Even Adam Schiff said he didn’t know if HE would vote for impeachment.

This is so over. Democrats will spend the Thanksgiving recess looking for an exit. Republicans, on the other hand, would love to see Democrats vote to impeach and then get humiliated in a Senate Trial.

CNN said that Devin Nunes met with former Ukrainian prosecutor Victor Shokin in Vienna last December. Democrats would have you believe that such a meeting would be an ethics violation.

He said he would make no public statement because of an ongoing criminal investigation. Then he dropped a bombshell, ignored by everyone:

I will win in court in, and they’ll have a chance to cooperate, and they’ll have to show how they work with somebody who has been indicted, which is likely conspiring to obstruct justice.”

Nunes knows things you do not know. What if he is right about somebody getting indicted. Perhaps Nunes knows who is about to be indicted by John Durham. He may even have been involved in helping obtaining the information needed to obtain that indictment.

CNN interpreted the alleged meeting in Vienna as Nunes digging up dirt on Biden and Democrats in Ukraine. Perhaps the significant issue here is the definition of digging up dirt. If Nunes discovered evidence of Democratic politicians committing crimes in the Ukraine and as a result people are indicted, there are better descriptions to use other than digging up dirt. Most people think digging up dirt involves things like the Russia Dossier making allegations about Trump and Russian prostitutes. Exposing bribery and corruption is a far cry from “digging up dirt.”

Democrats may have dug themselves an enormous hole. No one disputes the level of corruption in Ukraine. But some of these stories directly involve not just Joe Biden, but Hillary Clinton, John Kerry and even Obama. Some even mention John Kerry and Nancy Pelosi’s son. The MSM quickly dismisses all this as a vast right wing conspiracy, but what if they are true. What if Giuliani is telling the truth saying he has been documenting massive corruption by Democrats? Remember, Giuliani is a former U.S. Attorney who successfully took on the mob.

Do not underestimate this! It has happened before. Boss Tweed ran New York for several years. Many people knew all about the corruption, but they had no proof. Then, James Watson, a county auditor in the Comptroller’s office was kicked in the head by a horse as the result of a sleigh accident on January 21, 1871. He died a week later. The Tweed machine guarded Watson’s estate and they tried to destroy his records. They failed. Watson’s replacement was Matthew O’Rourke, who was associated with former Sheriff James O’Brien. He found those accounting records. When those accounting records were disclosed, the corruption became impossible to ignore. The Tweed machine crumbled. Tweed never recovered. He went from the most powerful politician in New York to being an inmate in the Ludlow Street Jail. He eventually flipped and agreed to testify about the inner workings of the Tweed Ring, but Governor Samuel Tilden vetoed his release and Tweed died in prison.

What if accounting records in Ukraine are now in the hands of Rudy Giuliani, John Solomon, Devin Nunes and John Durham? What if those records show rampant corruption and document massive illegal funds flowing to prominent Democrats. How desperate would Democrats be to discredit this investigation? When the truth becomes too obvious to ignore, remember to give thanks!

The DOJ IG report will be released on December 9, 2019. Lindsey Graham will start hearings on December 11, 2019. This means that Democrats and their liberal supporters in the MSM have about two weeks to try and spin this down. When you add in the distraction of Thanksgiving, this is moving at the speed of light.

When considering the inevitable leaks, consider the following.

1. Those who truly know, never leak.
2. Those who leak seldom if ever quote a source and the leaks are all negative for Donald Trump.
3. Many of the leaks reported by the MSM have been false. In some cases, absurdly false.

Some will recall that I suspected that Lindsey Graham was holding fire because he did not want to interfere with an ongoing criminal investigation. This is easy to understand, if one has any familiarity with real legal processes. If one is seeking the truth, the very last thing one would do is interview witnesses in a public setting. The result of doing that is a guarantee that witnesses will listen to each other and then patch together a consistent narrative. This explains why all those witnesses called by Adam Schiff basically said the same thing. They were obviously feeding off each other’s narrative. In some cases, they even admitted that under oath by referring to prior testimony. In the case of the impeachment hearing the problem was magnified using hearsay evidence which would never be admitted in a court of law.

In real life, it does not work that way. It never works that way. If you have genuine eye witnesses the only thing certain is that they will all see things differently. This does not mean they are lying; it is quite the opposite. It instead confirms that they are telling the truth about what they saw. That is why smart police ALWAYS  separate key witnesses before conducting an interview.

So, ignore the leaks, because all of them are based on hearsay evidence and they are all the result of people reporting what they want to believe. We are soon to be confronted with a very different report. One that is based on direct evidence. It is unlikely to completely satisfy anyone on either side of the issue.  But there are some strong clues that should not be ignored.

Democrats are attacking people. They are attacking Trump, Giuliani, Barr, Pompeo and even John Solomon. That alone is strong evidence that they fear the facts will be devastating. One only tries to shoot the messenger if they fear the message.

Yesterday Rudy Giuliani sent out a tweet that included a letter to Lindsey Graham. Here is a link to that letter:

https://twitter.com/RudyGiuliani/media

He says he has at least three fact witnesses who have direct evidence of a Democratic criminal conspiracy with Ukraine. He says they have been denied a VISA by the U.S. Embassy in Kiev under both Ambassador Bill Taylor and Ambassador Yovanovitch.  He says these witnesses hired a lawyer to contact the U.S. Attorney’s office, but he received no response. This attorney, by the way, is allegedly a former U.S Attorney.

If this is not true, Giuliani is in deep trouble and possibly insane. If it is true, his opponents are the ones in trouble.

He then says the attacks on him were designed to deflect from a Pay-for-Play pattern in the Obama administration.  Giuliani says he has witnesses, tapes and documents to support his suspicions. Giuliani says he is prepared to name the 3 witnesses and the former U.S. Attorney who represents them. He has also said the witnesses are available to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

By the way, Giuliani is also prepared to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee at the request of Lindsey Graham.

It is quite simple. Either Giuliani and others are caught up in a conspiracy theory based on no evidence, or while the conspiracy is true it is no theory. Either way, this is about to go nuclear. As in any war, there will be damage inflicted on all involved. I should also point out that at least some of what Giuliani is alleged was previously reported on by the MSM, confirming what happened, it was just ignored and there was zero follow-up.

We do not know where this will end up, but we do know that one way or the other the truth is going to come out and ultimately it is the truth that will out.

Everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING has changed. There are numerous reports that an FBI official is subject of a criminal referral for deliberately falsifying a FISA warrant.  This is so obvious that even CNN reported it. How bad is this? Easy. Former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara is one of the ultimate anti-Trumpers. Trump fired him shortly after assuming office. Since then Bharara has been a CNN contributor and never misses an opportunity to trash Trump. He just published a tweet saying: “really serious, it doesn’t get a lot more serious than that.”

While Democrats have totally failed in finding a smoking gun, Horowitz appears to have found a smoking cannon. This not only is a very serious felony, it destroys the Russia narrative and may result in the overturn of the convictions of Paul Manafort, Michael Flynn, George Papadopoulos, and even Roger Stone. All of these can be traced back to the FBI investigation of the Trump campaign and all those investigations are now the fruit of the poisoned tree.

This is so bad that I expect news outlets like CNN to support this action, in part because they are terrified of what else is out there. Many people are reporting that this leak was deliberate, designed to get the story out before the IG report was released. If that is true, which is not confirmed, then the rest of the story must be a nuclear bomb. This is like a guy confessing to murder because he doesn’t want to be charged with a serious crime.

It gets worse. Adam Schiff, in his haste to run his impeachment hearings sham missed something. He missed the congressional rule that requires minority members to call witnesses. That was overlooked in the rules developed by Pelosi and Schiff for the sham hearings, but that doesn’t change the permanent rules of the House.  Schiff adjourned the hearings and pounded himself into a trap. As soon as he did that, Kevin McCarthy sent a letter to Nancy Pelosi citing House Rule XI, Cause 2(j)(i).

That rule provides that “the minority members of the committee shall be entitled, upon request to the chair by a majority of them, before the completion of the hearing, to call witnesses selected by the minority to testify.”

If Schiff and Pelosi deny this request, the hearings will be exposed as a total sham, in violation of House Rules. Yet, if they agree, the first witness is likely to be Adam Schiff, who will be asked about the numerous lies he has told on camera. If Schiff says he was wrong, he is discredited. If he says those statements were true, he will be committing perjury. The only way he can avoid answering is to plead the 5^th.

It gets even worse. It turns out that the Ukraine was investigating Burisma before the phone call. My hunch is that we will soon learn that Rudy Giuliani was not in Ukraine to help Trump investigate Biden, he was there to help the Ukraine investigate Biden, bypassing the cover-up by the State Department and possibly others. Now fast forward to all those people who just testified about our Ukraine policy and everything snaps into focus. Instead of patriot heroes, trying to protect the Republican from a rogue President, these people have instead testified under oath about their participation in a deep state cover-up and a conspiracy to resist the President of the United States.

Many of us smelled the BS. We all noticed that no one had any evidence of a crime committed by Trump. While CNN and others were rejoicing that finally the Trump card would be played, the opposite was happening. Trump really did catch them all, he really is draining the swamp and when the waters got low the swamp creatures self-identified. Incredibly, they are so used to the cover of Foggy Bottom that they totally failed to realize how this would look in the light of day. Soon, everyone will see the obvious. When this is obvious to CNN, it has reached the point where there is no theory of plausible deniability.

It is impossible to overstate the significance of this development. Unless this is a fake new story, which seems highly unlikely, the world turned overnight.

One will notice that while numerous people are slamming Rudy Giuliani, there has been little mention of John Solomon. However, in an interview given by Giuliani, he said he let Solomon take the lead on investigations in Ukraine. Well, on Monday John Solomon published an article stating that Adam Schiff confirmed his reporting on Ukraine. Here is a link to that article:

https://johnsolomonreports.com/impeachment-surprise-how-adam-schiff-validated-my-reporting-on-ukraine/

Solomon is either right, he is insane or he is flat out lying. Some in the liberal media are slamming him, but few have challenged any of his facts or documents.

The truth is going to come out, one way or the other. One of the things reported by John Solomon is that several people in the State Department, including Ambassador Yovanovitch, were blocking people from providing evidence to the U.S. He reports that the people in Ukraine did not trust our FBI operation in Ukraine. Who can blame them after what we already know about the FBI under James Comey? Imagine you are in the Ukraine. You want to give information to the U.S., but you cannot trust the State Department. You cannot trust the Ukraine office of the FBI. You can’t even get a passport to travel to the U.S. Who can you trust? Enter Rudy Giuliani. The President of the United States says you can trust Rudy. So Rudy shows up in Ukraine and turns this over to John Solomon.

Solomon appears to have a ton of documentation. He has emails, financial records etc. He got a lot of them from people associated with Giuliani. These guys do have somewhat of a murky history, but so does everyone else in Ukraine. I cannot think of a single serious prosecution of a criminal enterprise that did not require someone who had previously worked in or for that enterprise turning state’s evidence. Few of these people are candidates for sainthood. However, they do provide valuable information that allows these criminal enterprises to be shut down. No one knows this better than Giuliani, who is famous for breaking up the mob in New York.

The IG report will be released on December 9^th, with testimony by Horowitz on December 11^th. It is quite possible, if not likely, that John Durham will issue at least some criminal indictments before those dates. The reason is quite simple; once that report is released some of the suspects may start running for cover. That is one reason the FBI does not comment on an ongoing investigation. Many times people only learn about the indictment on the day they are arrested.

In the meantime, the John Solomon story is going to come out and the press will have to report on it. They may try to discredit him, but they cannot ignore him. The stench of corruption by Joe Biden is so overwhelming that even CNN might notice at some point.

During the recent Ukrainian news conference, some of the participants specifically asked Zelensky to fly to the U.S., meet with Trump and ask for his help in investigating crimes committed in Ukraine. Imagine if he actually did that. Note that during this press conference they specifically mentioned Hunter Biden and Burisma.

A lot of Democrats, including Obama, are trying to get rid of Biden as a candidate. He gets hammered in the press, but it doesn’t seem to matter. No matter how much he stutters and gasps, he still looks better than the rest of the class. No matter how you spin this, Biden is a big problem. Perhaps he should do some research regarding Jeffrey Epstein and take precautions. His untimely (or timely) death would be really convenient for a lot of the same people who didn’t exactly weep at Epstein’s demise. Remember all his friends who showed up for the funeral? Me neither.

This is beyond bizarre. Either the liberal left and its supporters in the MSM are hopelessly delusional, or the rest of us are oblivious to reality. So perhaps the real question is who do you trust: What you see with your lying eyes, or what Adam Schiff pretends is there?

It is hard to predict anything but I have come up with three alternatives, all bad for Democrats.

1. Democrats drop impeachment.
2. Democrats vote to impeach, but Trump is acquitted.
3. Democrats vote to impeach, Trump is removed or he is forced to resign. Welcome President Mike Pence.

It seems like the third option is the worst case scenario for Democrats. It is increasingly hard to imagine this working out for them.

While Adam Schiff and his class of clowns were embarrassing themselves on National TV trying, and failing, to find something resembling a crime committed by Trump, their entire narrative just blew up.

It turns out that Ukrainian MP Andrly Derkach held a news conference, reminding people that the Prosecutor General’s Office (PGO) had indicted the former owner of Burisma, ex-Ecology Minister Zlochevsky. He complained that no one in the U.S. media bothered to report on this.

You can see the link to the news conference yourself:

https://en.interfax.com.ua/news/press-conference/625876.htm

“The PGO document once again confirms the data I had previously published on Burisma and international corruption. According to Zlochevsky’s suspicion notice, Biden and partners received their $16.5 million for their services to Burisma. Biden received funds not due to the successful activity of Burisma or for brilliant business decisions or recommendations. This is the money of Ukrainian citizens. The funds were obtained by criminal means. That’s what they say in the PGO,” Derkach said.

(A suspicion notice in Ukraine appears to be the equivalent of an indictment in the U.S.)

“According to the investigation, Zlochevsky was directly involved in the withdrawal of funds by the Yanukovych “family” (the Yanukovych criminal organization, according to the notice). They laundered the funds of Yanukovych through three companies in Latvia,” Derkach said.

Several websites are reporting the following quote by Derkach. I cannot confirm the accuracy of this:

“President Zelensky must pick up the phone, dial Trump, ask for help and cooperation in the fight against corruption and fly to Washington.

At a minimum, this appears to fully justify a decision to investigate Joe and Hunter Biden. If true, the question may be whether Trump was asking the Ukraine to investigate Biden, or the Ukraine was asking Trump for help. All the witnesses agreed that Zelensky ran on a platform of investigating corruption. Some of the witnesses admitted, under oath, that Zelensky wanted to indict Yanukovich, but they recommended against it because it would look bad. All of them admitted that the Ukraine was notoriously corrupt. All agreed that Burisma was suspected of corruption. None of them even hinted at investigating any of this. Instead they were horrified that Trump wanted the Ukraine to investigate this. Were they trying to protect our national security or were they more interested in covering up corruption by Democrats.

This is about to go nuclear.

Howard’s End is a novel by E. M Forster published in 1910. In 1992 they made a movie about this, which was nominated for 9 Oscars. It starred Anthony Hopkins, Vanessa Redgrave and Emma Thompson among others. My wife and I have tried to watch this movie on several occasions. We have no idea what this is about and certainly cannot tell you anything about the plot. The reason is that neither of us has ever managed to stay awake during the entire movie. It has been years since we even tried. I would strongly recommend Howard’s End for anyone suffering from insomnia and unable to find relief.

Under the direction of Adam Schiff, Democrats in the United States House of Representatives are producing a more current substitute cure for insomnia. This is insane and the only people who think this great come from the same cultured elite who thought Howard’s End was a masterpiece. Most recent example was Chris Wallace, who fawned over the impeachment hearings, until he eventually admitted they didn’t actually involve a crime.

Incredibly, neither Wallace nor anyone on his panel even discussed the obvious. It is not digging up dirt to investigate someone for something they obviously did. Joe Biden is not immune from prosecution just because he joined the 14,000 other candidates for the DNC nomination.

If Joe Biden did bribe Ukraine into firing a prosecutor and his son just happened to be paid a lot of money by one of the targets of that prosecutor that would sure appear to be a crime. It would be appropriate for President Trump, or any other President, to ask the Ukraine to investigate that. He doesn’t even need to ask nicely.

No one has hinted that Trump or anyone else asked the Ukraine to interfere in the 2020 election. Actually, they did the exact opposite. They asked Ukraine to explain why it did exactly that during the 2016 election. This is beyond obvious, except to Democrats and their fawning supporters in the MSM.

The result is some of the most boring television in American history. There is no potential for anything resembling a bombshell, because Adam Schiff already leaked anything with the potential to damage Trump.If there are bombshells, they will come from Republicans cross examining witnesses and the MSM will just ignore that. The result is a lot of really boring people explaining how their feelings were hurt by Donald Trump. We can get that anytime we want now by just tuning in to CNN and watching Anderson Cooper, Don Lemon, Wolf Blitzer or any of their so called panel of experts.

In addition these are held during the day and they make even the dreadful daytime shows look exciting in comparison. I suspect that most people watching this will experience a serene experience similar to that gained from watching Howard’s End.

Ultimately, impeachment is doomed to die of boredom. Even the MSM will start looking elsewhere, just in time for the IG report and John Durham frog marching names you know into federal court. My current prediction is that there won’t even be enough Democrats in the House willing to vote for impeachment. It is extremely unlikely to gain any Republican votes. Political suicide is a lot of things, but it is definitely not painless. It is one thing to vote for an inquiry. It is quite another to vote to remove a President because you don’t like his personality.

This is all over but the shouting and fewer and fewer people are even pretending to listen.

Friday William Barr spoke in front of the Federalist Society. It is now clear that if Democrats do not find a way to destroy William Barr, he will destroy them. The following article is from Bloomberg:

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-11-16/barr-attacks-trump-opponents-democrats-in-fiery-speech

“Immediately after President Trump won election, opponents inaugurated what they called the Resistance,” Barr said. “They essentially see themselves as engaged in a war, to cripple by any means necessary, a duly elected government.”

The sheer volume of what we see today – the pursuit of scores of parallel investigations through an avalanche of subpoenas – is plainly designed to incapacitate the executive branch and, indeed, is touted as such,” Barr said. “While the president has certainly thrown out the traditional Beltway playbook and punctilio, he was upfront about what he was going to do and the people decided they wanted him to serve as president.”

“One of the ironies of today is that those who oppose this president constantly accuse this administration of shredding constitutional norms and waging a war on the rule of law,” he said. “Of course there is no substance to these claims.”

“In waging a scorched earth, no-holds-barred war of resistance against this administration, it is the left that has engaged in the systematic shredding of norms and undermining the rule of law,” Barr said.

The full statement, reported below on the Gateway Pundit, is even stronger:

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2019/11/ag-barr-defends-president-trump-says-democrats-are-using-every-tool-and-maneuver-to-sabotage-the-functioning-of-the-executive-branch/

As I said the framers fully expected intense pulling between Congress and the Executive.  Unfortunately just in the past few years we’ve seen these conflicts take on an entirely new character.  Immediately after President Trump won election opponents inaugurated what they called ‘the resistance’ and they rallied around an explicit strategy of using every tool and maneuver to sabotage the functioning of the Executive Branch and his administration.  The language used to describe insurgency against rule imposed by an occupying military power.  It obviously connotes, it obviously connotes, that the government is not legitimate.  This is a very dangerous and indeed incendiary notion to import into the politics of a democratic republic.

William Barr is uniquely positioned to take this on. He had the advantage that the law, the constitution and the facts are on his side. While Trump’s opponents have been throwing silly arguments against the wall desperately hoping that something will stick, William Barr appears to have been preparing for war. The night before he gave this speech, William Barr met with Donald Trump in the Oval Office. Following this meeting, Trump sat down with Grisham, Gidley, Mulvaney and White House Counsel Pat Cipollone. He did not meet with his personal legal counsel. He delayed his trip to Louisiana and did not take any questions as he departed the White House.

In short, Democrats rushed to the TV’s with their best evidence against Trump and it exploded in their face. While the MSM was gushing over the honesty and integrity of these people, none of them could identify a single crime committed by the President of the United States. All of them backed off when asked if they supported his impeachment and removal from office.

Barr turned over this critical investigation to John Durham. No one, in either party, has dared criticize John Durham. That means it is going to be hard to criticize Barr for appointing someone highly respected on both sides of the aisle.

It sure looks like William Barr is about to go on offense and he will have no difficulty in explaining what crimes have been committed. Unlike Adam Schiff, he can obtain indictments, arrest people and prosecute them. If this speech is any indication of his real feelings about this, that is exactly what is going to happen.  

I really believe this week is going to be explosive. It is hard to imagine Barr meeting with Trump and then giving that speech unless he is about to drop the hammer. There are many reports in the media that both the IG report and actions by John Durham are imminent. While many of us are used to disappointment when it comes to holding people accountable, and one must caution against irrational optimism, it would be naïve to ignore some pretty serious whether warnings.

I have a hat from Hagerty Insurance. Hagerty specializes in insuring classic and exotic cars. It has a logo showing a shift pattern and says shift happens. I think the same slogan, with a minor change in spelling, is appropriate today. The House Impeachment hearings are already a complete disaster.

Day one, Democrats called their two star witnesses. Both of them looked fairly impressive, in responding to leading questions from the DNC counsel, but were humiliated in cross examination. If anything, they made a strong case regarding why Joe and Hunter Biden needed to be investigated. In addition, when Ratcliffe asked them if the President had committed any crime worthy of impeachment, they were both absolutely speechless.

This is so bad even CNN is starting to back off. Wolf Blitzer was reduced to trying to show Kelly Ann Conway videos of her husband bad mouthing Trump on another network. She ate his lunch. She made Blitzer look ridiculous. She told him she was embarrassed for him and she was right. It was beyond bad.

Yesterday Kevin McCarthy was speaking to reporters when MSNBC report Garrett Haake said this:

“You just asserted that several Republicans did yesterday at the hearing – Adam Schiff either personally met with the whistleblower or knows the identity of the whistleblower, which he continues to deny. Can you just say it plainly? Do you think him lying?”

McCarthy said: “Yes, and I don’t think it’s the first time he’s liked to us either.”

The gloves are off regarding Adam Schiff. Republicans are not playing the game anymore. Who knows where this will end, but right now the Republicans are the ones who act like they smell blood in the water.

Republicans are thrilled with the performance by Adam Schiff. This is so bad the RNC would probably consider sponsoring the broadcast of these hearings. If there are any smart Democrats left, they have to be appalled. A lot of them are probably dreaming of ways in which Schiff could gracefully exit stage right. He would be wise to consider what happened to Jeffrey Epstein and take heed.

We can summarize the hearings this way. Democrats have done a good job of giving people who already hate Trump a reason to hate him more. They have managed to make Yovanovitch look sympathetic. But they have not come close to providing any evidence of Trump being guilty of a crime. Being a rude bully, yes. Being guilty of a crime, not even close.

In addition, Schiff has been absolutely hammered. He routinely cuts off Republicans from asking questions and fawns over Democrats. The problem is not that he does this, but that he is so obvious. He clearly is trying to micro-manage this hearing and is failing.

Ultimately the big loser is Joe Biden, because even Yovanovitch helped make the case regarding why Joe and Hunter Biden needed to be investigated. She also made the case that it was Trump, not Obama, who actually helped Ukraine.

The bottom line is that Trump looks like Trump. Those who hate him, will hate him more. Those who love him will love him more. There is no chance that he will be impeached and removed from office.

It should also be pointed out that this is the high point of the hearings for Democrats. It can only go downhill from here. Combine that with the very real possibility of the IG report being released and some people being indicted and it is hard to see this helping Democrats.

At best, Democrats have put their full hatred of Donald Trump on display. It is easy to understand, but what they have not done is make a case for impeachment. Instead, they have once again demonstrated that Trump continues to control the agenda, every day, on every subject. I have a saying on my desk: “The size of the person is directly proportionate to the size of the person or thing that makes them angry.” In their attempt to destroy Donald Trump, at best Democrats have done nothing more than prove they are no bigger than him.

In the meantime, while this hot mess is going on, the fourteen thousand candidates for the DNC are desperately trying to get a word in edgewise. It is hard to imagine anything that would do more harm to Democratic changes to win the 2020 election. The DNC is desperately left with a choice between Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. No one, in either party, really thinks these people can possibly beat Trump. That is why Michael Bloomberg and now Deval Patrick are entering the race. It is why Hillary Clinton is waiting desperately in the wings.

Democrats were already in deep trouble. Then Schiff happened and it is now going rapidly downhill.

Either Trump or the White House is absolutely losing it, for real, or Durham and Barr about to deliver some serious bombshells. White House Communications Director Dan Scavino posted a tweet that said:

 “Tick-Tock.”

Then today, during his press conference on the White House lawn Trump said the following:

“You know what I did? A big favor.. I caught the swamp, I caught them all. Nobody else could have done that but me. I caught of this corruption that was going on.”

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2019/11/i-caught-the-swamp-i-caught-them-all-lets-see-what-happens-president-trump-drops-a-bombshell-and-communications-director-dan-scavino-teases-major-development/

This is either insane, or things are about to pop. Always remember that Trump knows things you do not know. He is either incredibly naïve or stupid, or those trying to impeach him are incredibly naïve and stupid. Actually, I would add incredibly incompetent and desperate.

Who would you fear the most: Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell or John Durham and William Barr? Silly question.

So while Democrats are trying and failing to impeach Trump, Durham and Barr are waiting to pounce. Even if this does not blow up on Democrats, which seems likely, no one can even pretend that any of the DNC candidates are remotely capable of being President. The only reason Biden still does well in the polls is that everyone else is unbelievably bad. No matter how bad Biden does, no matter how many times he stumbles, no matter how many obvious lies he tells, not matter if he is obviously corrupt, no matter if he even starts talking to a wall, they will still chose him because at his worst he is still better than the rest of the class.

In the meantime, if Trump is not insane a lot of people are about to be indicted and this is going to get really ugly.  What makes this worse is that even Republicans smell blood and are moving in for the kill. Republicans are not going to play the game anymore. That is why they just put someone like Jim Jordan on the House Intelligence committee.

When those hearing go public next week, each of these complainers are going to be asked a simple question. Who cares if you do not like Trump’s foreign policy, nobody elected you? He is the one who gets to decide on our foreign policy, not you. If you don’t like it, just leave and don’t let the door hit your but on the way out. They have the advantage of knowing that this is obviously true.

The clock is either ticking and a really big bomb is about to go off, or Trump is actually losing it. The smart money is on orange.

Hillary Clinton sure looks desperate to jump into the DNC race for the presidential nomination. She reportedly believes she was put here to be President of the United States. Unfortunately for her, that belief was and is not shared by nearly enough people.

Recent developments have probably ended Hillary’s political career once and for all. Ironically, the woman who only gained power in the first place because of her willingness to protect Bill, is being destroyed by him.

Two stories are a stark reminder of why Hillary would be insane to throw her hat into the ring. One is the shocking Veritas video that proves ABC knew all about Bill, Bonnie Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein during 2016. That would be during the 2016 election. You know, when Hillary was the candidate. Does anyone really think it is a total coincidence that ABC News, heavily influenced by George Stephanopoulos, would find a way to spike that story? Please!

Then we have Ronan Farrow saying Bill should be investigated regarding the alleged rape of Juanita Broaddrick. She claimed that then Governor Bill Clinton raped her in April 1978. She also believes that Hillary knew about it and did nothing. If this is investigated at all it is nothing but bad news for Hillary.

Now combine the renewed interest by the DOJ in Uranium One, the email server and interference in the 2016 election by Ukraine on behalf of Hillary Clinton and the problem becomes worse. Throw in any kind of investigation of the Clinton Foundation and you have the perfect storm.

The Bill is long past due. This should have happened long ago, but at least it is happening now. This time there is one big difference. While Hillary retains the illusion of being relevant, the Democratic Party has moved on. I have not heard anyone beg Hillary to enter the race and save the day. I have heard numerous people say her day is done. Some practically beg her to stay home. Even people who used to scream their support of her to the heavens have stopped doing that. The truth is even Democrats are just sick and tired of the Clintons. Remember the last time anyone asked Hillary her opinion about anything? Me neither.

The Clinton protective shield has been permanently breached.  At some point it either has or will become obvious to a lot of people that throwing the Clintons under the bus is a good option. They can blame all the crap that is coming out on them and pretend Obama was oblivious. Few will believe this nonsense, but as they say, any port in a storm.

The Clintons would be wise to simply fade away and try to disappear. However, no one has ever accused either Bill or Hillary of being wise.
