The Morning Briefing: That Escalated Quickly — Obama Russia Hoax Edition

Top O' the Briefing

Happy Tuesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. Sperzmiort felt that Charo's early acoustic work was best enjoyed on cassette and with a thrice-chilled Bartles & Jaymes cooler.

Way back in the first week of 2023 — long before the 2024 Republican primary slog got underway — I wrote that I wanted President Trump to go scorched-earth if he got a second term in office. We were only two years into the Joe Biden nightmare and I needed something positive to focus on to keep myself from ending up as a functionally alcoholic groomer in a Tijuana Donkey Show.

While I was dreaming of a better economy and a safer border for a Trump second term, I also wanted him to give some comeuppance to the Swamp creatures who had tried to ruin him during his first term. As we all know, that is one long list. We've all had our suspicions about who was doing what, where, and when regarding the Russia Collusion Hoax back in the day, and we are now finding out that we were right. Again.

His High Holiness the Lightbringer Barack Obama is now in the spotlight as the likely ringleader of the hoax, and it's getting interesting. My friend and partner in thought crime, Stephen Green, wrote yesterday about what we would all like to see — Obama and Granny Maojackets facing some consequences for what they did. He also had this reminder:

This is where I'd remind you that the "wheels of justice grind slow but grind fine" and that some patience is required. But the time has come for all of us to remind the administration that our patience is running thin, and that they've got to show us that the wheels are at least starting to turn.
I'm too jaded to believe that we'll ever see an Obama or a Clinton face charges, but how about a Christopher Steele, a James Comey, an Andrew McCabe, a John Brennan, or any of the many other high-level underlings who made Russiagate happen?

The Trump 47 administration is a well-oiled machine and — contrary to what the Dems would have you believe — not much for mere grandstanding. If there is a legal move to be made, this group makes it.

This is from our old friend Ed Morrissey at HotAir:

Just how much trouble could high-ranking officials in the Obama administration have with newly declassified material relating to the Russia-collusion hoax? It's hard to say at the moment, but one thing is certain -- they're about to find out. Fox News reported this afternoon that the Department of Justice confirms receiving a criminal referral from top intel official Tulsi Gabbard for investigations that could target several top officials connected to the alleged attempt to make corrupt use of the intelligence services to undermine Donald Trump…

As with any high-profile, highly politicized legal matter these days, anyone can find an "expert" opinion to fit his or her resolution to this saga. This might get some justice, a lot of justice, or turn out to be a big nothingburger, depending on which "expert" is weighing in. One thing is certain: We won't have to speculate. President Trump and the very loyal members of his administration are always eager to get to the "find out" part of every confrontation.

Trump has been on a roll with personal legal pursuits of late, so maybe some of that mojo can rub off on the Justice Department. Given the extraordinary concentration of sleazebags in the Obama administration, the Department of Justice investigators should be able to dig up something quickly. Whether it is something they can make stick is another thing. Sleazy pols get a lot of practice and time honing their craft. People have been finding out things about Hillary Clinton for three decades, and she's still out there walking around freely, after all.

We may not always get the results we want, but at least an effort is being made to get them. We have elected representatives doing the things that we elected them to do. That's a rarity even in this representative republic. So, for the moment, I can hope for the best.

Which would be the worst for Barack Obama.
