Democrats claim cover-up, but can’t find a crime

Suggestion also includes worrisome proposal for Hillary Clinton

WASHINGTON –
It’s the kind of crazy scenario that only Washington could invent: Democrats are now accusing the president of covering up a non-crime.

The good news for President Trump is that the Russia collusion scandal appears to be dying because there is no evidence.

The bad news is, an obstruction of justice scandal is just heating up, even though there was no apparent wrongdoing or collusion by his team with Russia.

And now, with the Democrats pushing the bizarre notion there was a cover-up, even if there was no crime, one of the nation’s top political minds says there is only one way to stop the endless cycle of attacks on the administration: switch from defense to offense.

Writing in National Review, former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy suggests President Trump should flip the script on his inquisitors in three bold moves that would turn Democrats from hunters into the hunted:


Appoint a special counsel to investigate political spying, including unmasking and leaks to the media.

Have Congress hold hearings on whether the Obama Justice Department colluded with the Hillary Clinton campaign to influence the outcome of the 2016 presidential election.

It sounds like a Trifecta to me. That is unless somebody on the inside is doping the horses, and, sadly, there always seems to be one or more.

The Democrats sent up this smoke screen against the Republicans to cover up their dirty dealings with Russia. Lets see if this investigation does a full and complete Russian connection. If they do you will find out the Democrats are the real culprits. Obama / Hillary / Podesta to start with.

Obstruction of Justice? Do they even understand what that means? I suggest not. Just think back to Benghazi and the IRS mishandling of non profits. Susan Rice and Lois Lerner should be in jail. How is it they are not?
