Moment of clarity
All the bizarre strings of the Mueller Russiagate lunacy are finally opening up to show the single underlying fact.
Russia was actually doing something. The something was not meddling in the election because the something was aimed equally at both parties. The something was plain old-fashioned LOBBYING to get the Magnitsky Act repealed. It didn't work. Both parties rejected the lobbying.
That's all.
If listening to a lobbyist and saying NO is a crime, then all politicians are criminals all the time. The latter clause is true anyway, but not because they accept or reject lobbying. Listening to a lobbyist is a big part of the PROPER DUTY AND PURPOSE of a politician.
Oddly enough, the rejection of this particular lobby makes both parties look a little bit better than usual. Both rejected a FOREIGN request, which should ideally be the AUTOMATIC response to ALL foreign requests.
It's too bad they don't reject similar requests from Saudi and Israel, which are FAR more numerous and UNIVERSALLY accepted.
If politicians had been doing the REST of their job, the Magnitsky Act wouldn't have passed in the first place because it's prima facie unconstitutional. Bill of attainder. Since all current laws are prima facie unconstitutional in one way or another, this law isn't unusual.
So finally: Russia wanted USA STRONG to remove an illegal law. Russia lobbied both parties to get it removed. Both parties rejected the request because both parties are committed to total criminality.
Granted, Russia's reasons for the lobby were venial and personal, but that doesn't change the USA STRONG side of the equation.
Labels: STRONG!
