The Mueller Report becomes a tar baby for the Democrats

AT:

Now that the Mueller Report is out, Democrats are in a quandary.

Unable to admit they were utterly wrong about sleazy Democratic operative Robbie Mook‘s original Trump-colluded-with-the-Russians-to-steal-the-election-from-Hillary-Clinton narrative, they’re now scanning every nook and cranny of the Mueller report to find something useful to use to impeach the president.  A very good analysis from the San Francisco Chronicle’s John Wildermuth and Tal Kopan points to how problematic that is, given that the report had far fewer redactions to holler about than they’d hoped:

Democrats have spent weeks demanding access to the full, unredacted Mueller report, anticipating that Attorney General William Barr would heavily censor it.  The focus on redactions served as a way of deflecting questions about impeachment.

But what Barr released was largely understandable and minimally redacted, with plenty of details Democrats could seize on to impugn Trump.  Now the pressure is on Democrats to decide whether to consider impeachment, something that would please progressives but take attention away from practically anything else the party would like to focus on heading into the 2020 election cycle.

Few redactions means less to speculate about.  Yet the Democrats can’t stop themselves from focus on impeachment, and the Mueller Report means they have very little fuel for their bonfire.  So they are left yelling about nothing and can’t stop themselves.

It really is a bad situation for them, a tar baby, as the term goes, a problem situation that is only aggravated by additional involvement in it.  Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer and House speaker Nancy Pelosi are taking their fire to Attorney General Bill Barr as their means of keeping the fires burning.  read more

  1. Oh, no, MJ…you and American Thinker, using the tar-baby reference…you might get called…racist. OTOH, doubtful Communist-Dems even read AT or IOTW–if they did, they wouldn’t vote for Leftists. We still have a loooong 6 yrs ahead.

  3. Not President Trump. I wanna crazy Maxine Waters impeached. That crook is out of her mind bat shit crazy. Give her 1% of the scrutiny President Trump was subjected to and they’d find enough to lock her up for a long time. Hey, crazy Max, ain’t heard you say “PEECH FODA FYE’ today. You alright?
