@OldBathos has written a very fine, tightly reasoned, short post about the ongoing scandal involving the Obama-Clinton-Holder-Rosenstein-Mueller-Comey cover up of, as his post refers to it, the “real Russian collusion story.” This is in no way meant to “step on” that post, but to add an exclamation point to it by highlighting an article I consider to be the finest single piece of analysis written on the entire tawdry (of course! It involves the Clintons. What other adjective could one possibly use?) story.
This is the piece which appeared Saturday morning in National Review Online by Andrew C. McCarthy, a former Federal prosecutor, assistant US Attorney in New York, titled “The Obama Administration’s Uranium One Scandal.” In addition to being the product of one who has actual prosecutorial experience “in the trenches”– he worked for years building the successful prosecution of “the Blind Sheik” who masterminded the first World Trade Center bombing — he offers a good bit of context of which I was unaware, and I have made an attempt to read everything on this affair I could get my hands on.

I really do need help here as, for the life of me, I simply cannot see the difference between the early morning raid of Mueller’s enforcers in which the picked the lock (let that sink in for a moment) at Paul Manafort’s home, then stood over the “suspect” and his wife holding guns on them (am I overstating the similarity of scenes straight out of the late ’30s?) in bed, as more fuily described in an excellent piece by Andrew C. McCarthy in the National Review this morning:

I really, really, really do want all this unity I’ve been hearing about to happen and I do so wish I could actually get my hopes up that such a miracle — and that’s what it would amount to in today’s vile and mean atmosphere — could actually happen. I know many of us also harbor that hope, as evidenced by the comment of one of the members who characterized Paul Ryan’s speech about an “attack on one of us is an attack on all of us” as one of the great speeches of all time. While it was a nice speech and quite typical of the Speaker who says many “nice things”, as much as I would dearly like to believe all this kumbaya attitude will continue, I find myself in agreement with the brilliant commentator Mark Steyn, who stated, on the Tucker Carlson show last night:
“Yes, I think so,” said Steyn. “If you have people like the Southern Poverty Law [Center], which has become fabulously wealthy by labeling everyone they disagree with as a hate group, if you keep calling everybody a hater, and in fact, if your organization calls people haters, you are the hater. I would like to disagree with the tone of what we have heard today, including in the last hour for Martha MacCallum and Brit Hume, when they were talking about unity and will this unity last?”
