War of the Roses

In the aftermath of the Mueller Report it appears Donald Trump and Republican party leaders are beginning to find their footing, led by Attorney General Bill "The Pardoner" Barr. In May, Barr opened an investigation into how the Russia Investigation began and put John Dunham, US Attorney of Connecticut, in charge. Dunham is a Trump appointee who the White House says "share[s] Trump's vision for 'making America safe again'." After two and a half years of dancing on the defensive, Republicans will have a chance to ask the tough questions. Why didn't Comey subpoena the DNC server immediately? Why would the FBI trust CrowdStrike, a company with a shady past? Who made the decision not to subpoena?

It's a safe bet they'll also have questions for the individuals who coerced made contact with all those Trump associates. Who are these people? What do we know about them? What are they selling? And voila! Before you can say "CIA," enter Josef Mifsud. He's the guy who told George Papadopoulos that Russia had "dirt" on Hillary Clinton (and who has suddenly gone missing). Or how about Stefan Halper? Like Mifsud, Halper met repeatedly with both Papadopoulos and Carter Page; like Mifsud, Halper has long-standing ties to US and British Intelligence. There are others but you get the point.

To recap: Democratic elites lose power, execute an intelligence operation to sabotage the election results and get caught in the act. (I'm looking at you, Barry .) Republican elites gain the White House but get tangled up in Russia-gate and have only just begun to twist the narrative in their favor. Will Mifsud resurface? Will Halper survive? Will the Senate demand testimony under oath? Will the House object? Will any of these crooks see the inside of a prison?

Sure they will. Because, after all, "no one is above the law."

Welcome to War of the Roses, American-style.
