MGB:_The Republicans on the Judiciary Committee are looking for justification for not impeaching Trump when, not if, Muller presents his report. To do so, they and Fox News are employing what is called The Big Lie. It is a fascist tool. They are the heirs to the vast right-wing conspiracy that Hillary Clinton warned about when they were going after her husband. They are the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, the Tea Party, the Birthers, the John Birch Society and the Committee to Re-Elect the President (with the apt initials CREEP). In Animal House, they were) sadistic ROTC Commander Neidermeyer, the ones who wanted to be in Vietnam. They are the out of control College Republicans at their state conventions, so sadly they are not dying off.
John Dean called them Conservatives without Conscience, who offer authoritarianism to people who think they have lost America to the dirty fing hippies. Turns out the dirty fing hippies were right (Google it). That they are financed by the rich and do their bidding is a feature, not a flaw. Neither is voter suppression an anomoly. They do it because they cannot win the honest argument. Sadly, part of their control mechanism is the Pro-Life movement, who also uses the big lie, that somehow privacy rights and state inferiority on equal protection can be overturned or that gay marriage can be reversed, to keep their majority fired up. In for a penny, in for a pound. Luckily, Lincoln, who would disown them, was right. You can’t fool all of the people all of the time. Indeed, once clearer Republican heads count the votes for impeachment and removal post 2018, they will shoot their own dog and get rid of Trump themselves, because after 2018, Pence goes too.
