Time out, 5.16.19

Let's take a step back, and consider what we have learned.

Starting with the Mueller Report, there was no collusion.

Democrats are claiming that Trump obstructed justice during the Mueller investigation.

Full stop.  Some perspective:

The Mueller Report took nearly two years to produce.  It spanned the 2018 elections, and may have been a factor in the Democrats regaining control over the House.

Despite there being no collusion, the Democrats are still trying to make political hay out of the report.  Even though the accusations were baseless, and stretched out for two years, the Democrats still insist that Trump is suspect of a crime that should warrant his removal from office.

Attorney General Barr has been cited for contempt.  It appears to be without justification.  It is as baseless as the collusion accusations.

What does this mean?

It means that the entire controversy has no basis in fact.  It is a political hit job, in which the Democrats hope to gain an advantage.  In order to exploit this advantage to its maximum, the Democrats must keep this "controversy" alive until the election of 2020, so that they can win back power.

Therefore, the "controversy", such that it exists, is baseless and political.

For Trump's part, he has gone on the offensive.  His first two years has been wasted on this ginned up controversy, and may have a response on the way which could be as serious, or more serious than what the Democrats have unleashed upon him.

The Trump response could be more effective because it is based upon real violations of laws, not pretended offenses that the Democrats have claimed.

Democrats can claim politics, but it is the game that they have played themselves.  We will see how that game plays out.
