Pulling Up Stakes

AND SO, WITHOUT FANFARE, the House investigative subcommittee announced that, since they interviewed no fewer than seventy people. and heard no evidence whatsoever about anything having to do with collusion between the Trump campaign and Russians,the investigation is hereby concluded. More specifically, the republican committee majority voted to close up shop, after asking a few harmless but pertinent sounding questions, softball style. Heaven forbid that they should actually discover something nefarious. to expose the slightest wrongdoing by their obedient to the right wing agenda president was the very last item on their agenda. The democrats plan to continue the investigation, intrepidly but probably unproductively, without subpoena power of any sort. Today's House republicans were mostly elected from heavily gerrymandered districts, wherein republican redistricting committees grouped republicans together to create automatic election majorities, and open the way for extreme right wingers to run for office, and to get elected. Hence, we have a congress full of extremists who apparently prefer turning a blind eye to massive corruption in order to support an extreme right wing agenda. Conservatism at its finest. but never fear, not onluy is robert Muller still out and about, his behavior to date would seem to indicate that he differs from the assessment of the House subcommittee, and the Senate is still investigating, with, hopefully, more objectivity, and less ideological fervor.
