- they don't really believe any of their claims, but
- they need to get the narrative rolling right away, because
- when Barr starts indicting people, they will then be able to claim he's a Trump stooge, and
- that Hillary Clinton in particular needed to have that narrative in the air
As usual, Victor Davis Hanson got there first, with a list of useful reminders:
Russians likely fed salacious but untrue allegations about Trump to ex-British spy Christopher Steele, who was being paid in part by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee to find dirt on Trump.100% true statement. Back to Hanson:
The Russians rightly assumed that Steele would lap up their fantasies, seed them among Trump-hating officials in the Barack Obama administration and thereby cause hysteria during the election, the transition and, eventually, the Trump presidency.
Russia succeeded in sowing such chaos, thanks ultimately to Clinton, who likely had broken federal laws by using a British national and, by extension, Russian sources to warp an election. Without the fallacious Steele dossier, the entire Russian collusion hoax never would have taken off.
Without Steele's skullduggery, there likely would have been no Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Court-approved surveillance of Trump aide Carter Page. There might have been no FBI plants inserted into the Trump campaign. There might have been no subsequent leaking to the press of classified documents to prompt a Trump collusion investigation.It is. But her luck could be running out soon, despite the 20-screen multiplex of project emanating from Cory Booker, Mazie Hirono, Kamala Harris, et al. Why? Back to Hanson:
Given the Steele travesty and other past scandals, it is inexplicable that Clinton has not been indicted.
For much of her professional life, Hillary Clinton had acted above and beyond the law on the assumption that as the wife of a governor, as first lady of the United States, as a senator from New York, as secretary of state and as a two-time candidate for the presidency, she could ignore the law without worry over the consequences.Thus, she and her patrons must turn William Barr into a dirty cop. The alternative?
For Clinton now to project that the president should be indicted suggests she is worried about her own potential indictment. And she is rightly concerned that for the first time in 40 years, neither she nor her husband is serving in government or running for some office, and therefore could be held accountable.

this isnt about hillary anymore, though she probably still thinks it is.
the left had so much invested in the Faith that meuller would find something and do his job to bring down Trump.
they have no other narrative to switch to.
that, and the base is a wounded, angry animal, that must be appeased or held at bay in anyway it can.
Wounded and angry? Nah, hydrophobic, lyssaviruses.
Or, more specifically, since there's no evidence for what they're saying, I'm coming to the conclusion that at least the fringe is flat out evil. There's no other explanation for Nadler's little hissy fit. You can't plan out things like Nadler has if you're in fight or flight mode. Since he can't believe what he's saying, he's evil.

It is still about Hillary, although not entirely. It's also about Obama. It's about her because she bankrolled Fusion GPS and the Steele dossier. But so did Obama, we're learning.

This is 100% true.

Can't argue with that, either.
Personally I think it's way, WAY bigger than Clinton at this point. We've got a corrupted Intelligence Community that needs to face some accountability. We've got a national media that has gone way beyond bias into outright advocacy for one side over the other, with the real possibility that they have been involved in bribery schemes both on the giving and receiving ends (I'm lookin' at you, Ali Watkins.) You've got a political party that almost certainly has knowingly trafficked in lies and abuse of power to take down private citizens. You've also got the real possibility that politicians and others have sold their offices and influence to foreign powers (Hence the desperate cover up.) This scandal as it fully unfolds should rock the country and make Watergate look like peanuts.
The way they are coming after him so hard and fast is a huge tell. I hope he has a vindictive streak a mile wide.
