Side-by-side comparison of Barr and Mueller's statements about Russia probe looks very bad for TrumpCNN’s Brooke Baldwin on Wednesday showed a devastating side-by-side comparison of statements made by Attorney General Bill Barr and former special counsel Robert Mueller about the results of the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. watch video: https://www.rawstory.com/2019/05/devastating-side-by-side-comparison-of-barr-and-muellers-statements-about-russia-probe-looks-very-bad-for-trump/?utm_source=push_notifications

1. Today was way more important than people realize
Did I get everything I wanted - no - but I got more than I expected.

3. It feels like a tipping point to me in terms of the media
Not just CNN and MSNBC but the networks that only carry half an hour of evening news will be able to show a montage like that. It won’t just be opinion any more. Even the least political news sources have something to sink their teeth into now.

5. Precisely
and Mueller gave them the perfect line - it is already the headline around the globe and I expect this line to be the led on network news this evening.

7. Great point
this will get a lot of publicity and will have a lot of staying power. Bad publicity for Trump.

6. in other words, "don't throw me into that briar patch"
Or "methinks the lady doth protest too much." When have Republicans (since 2016) said what they really thought? If their lips are moving, THEY ARE LYING. They DO NOT want impeachment.
Clinton's impeachment backfired because it was so obviously crap. Impeaching a president who's in thrall to a foreign adversary is entirely different. I think that after today, the Democrats who, for whatever reason, think that impeachment is what Republicans want will have to go ahead with it anyway. Force those Senators to betray their country, in broad daylight. Let's see how that works out for them. |
