Conrad Black at American Greatness sums it up in “The Greatest Constitutional Crisis Since the Civil War”:
For more than two years, the United
States and the world have had two competing narratives: that an elected
president of the United States was a Russian agent whom the Kremlin helped
elect; and its rival narrative that senior officials of the Justice Department,
FBI, CIA, and other national intelligence organizations had repeatedly lied
under oath, misinformed federal officials, and meddled in partisan political
matters illegally and unconstitutionally and had effectively tried to influence
the outcome of a presidential election, and then undo its result by falsely
propagating the first narrative. It is now obvious and indisputable that the
second narrative is the correct one.
. . .
The extent of the criminal
misconduct of the former law enforcement and intelligence chiefs is now
notorious, but to make the right point here, it has to be summarized. The fact
that the officially preferred candidate lied to federal officials about her
emails and acted in outright contempt of Congress and the legal process in the
destruction of evidence, was simply ignored by the FBI director, who announced
that she would not be prosecuted, though he had no authority to make that
determination.
The full report is here. It’s one to Bookmark. Most of us
are wondering if the new AG is convening grand juries. Mr. Black concludes:
This entire monstrous travesty is
finally coming apart without even waiting for the horrible disappointment of
the special counsel’s inability to adduce a scrap of evidence to justify his
replication of Torquemada as an inquisitor and of the Gestapo and KGB at
rounding up and accusing unarmed individuals who were not flight risks. .
. .
Without realizing the proportions
of the emergency, America has survived the greatest constitutional crisis since
the Civil War. All those who legitimately oppose or dislike the president,
including traditional high-brow Republicans who find him distasteful, should
join in the condemnation of this largely criminal assault on democracy, and
then, if they wish, go out and try to beat him fair and square, the good
old-fashioned way, in a free election. But they must abide by the election’s
result.
