No, I’m not calling for anyone to stop Mick Jagger and Keith Richards from prancing around to “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” for the umpteen-thousandth time.
Instead I’m highlighting Jed Babbin’s American Spectator column about the aftermath of the Trump impeachment.
The House Dems will continue to hog tie the president and prevent him from getting any legislation that will benefit his agenda regardless of the nation’s interests. That means any new trade deal with the United Kingdom — which should be accomplished quickly now that Brexit has become a reality — will languish in the House without approval at least until after the election.
All of that — and all the election news we’ll be surrounded by — is less important than trying to repair the damage to our system of government created by the FBI-CIA “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation of Trump and his campaign in 2016-2017. As this column has said repeatedly (see here and here and here), it was the worst abuse of power by federal employees in the history of our nation.
Some of those repairs have already been accomplished. Last week, Attorney General William Barr announced a change in Justice Department policy that will require the signatures of both the attorney general and the director of the FBI in order for the FBI to begin a counterintelligence investigation on any presidential campaign.
Barr’s action could, of course, be reversed by a Democratic attorney general and doesn’t affect the CIA. But it is entirely the right thing to do.
Sometime this year, the U.S. Attorney for Connecticut, John Durham, will probably have a grand jury issue indictments of some of the “Crossfire Hurricane” leaders. …
… However many of the “Crossfire Hurricane” team are indicted, and whether or not they are convicted, their indictment will shake the FBI (and, we hope, the CIA) to their cores.
