Mulling It Over

I've been thinking about the revelation that it was Hillary Clinton and the DNC that paid for the phony Trump dossier that led to the entire Trump-Russia collusion investigation.  I wrote about this yesterday, but on second thought, I don't think I did justice to the extraordinary nature of this story.  Think about it.  We had a major party candidate for president paying for creation of a phony dossier falsely accusing the other candidate of colluding with a foreign power, an enemy of the USA.  That's not just a lie or even just an outrage.  It's actually something the equivalent of which I cannot recall happening in this country previously.  In the past, there have been dirty tricks in many campaigns.  Usually, this involves springing some bad fact from the past on the opponent right before election (like 2004 when Kerry sprang the Bush DUI at the last minute.)  Sometimes, it involves lies or "questionable" facts.  We've never seen anything like the dossier, however.  With that dirty trick, Clinton and the Democrats tried to plant the false idea that Trump was both deranged and a traitor to boot.  After Trump won, the plan was changed into a method for attacking the legitimacy of the presidency itself.  That makes it an attack on America and the American people who chose Trump to be president.

This ought to be the end of the Clintons.  I don't ever want to hear another word from either of them.  They truly are the lowest of the low.  Let me put it this way:  they make Richard Nixon and Watergate look good by comparison.
