Making something out of nothing (burger)
So let's turn back to the latest video from James O'Keefe, where I was
supposedly caught on camera shrugging off the Russia investigation.
Interviewer: "What do you think is going to happen this week with the whole
Russian thing?
Van Jones: "The whole Russia thing is a big nothing-burger. There is nothing
you can do --"
Did I mean that there is "nothing" to the allegations that members of team
Trump colluded with the Russians and then tried to cover it up by firing FBI
Director James Comey? No -- and far from it.
But that's not what I was talking about. I have been consistently pushing my
fellow Democrats to deal with bread and butter issues -- and not just hope
and believe Trump will be impeached and gone tomorrow. I have been beating
this drum for weeks now.
I said in a recent Twitter chat: "I am glad there is a Russia investigation,
and I hope they get to the bottom of it. But I think Democrats are fooling
ourselves if we think that something is going to come out of this
investigation that is somehow going to end the Trump presidency and make
everything better. Unless there is a real smoking gun, which there is
probably not, it's just going to be a big old mess. Meanwhile we are not
talking about jobs, not talking about poverty, not talking about solutions,
not talking about the addiction crisis. Let's talk about our stuff."
In other words, no evidence is going to emerge ("THIS WEEK," soon, or maybe
ever) that is powerful enough to force the craven GOP to oust Trump. Too
many Democrats see the Russia controversy as some kind of magical "get out
of jail free" card. They insist that we will be delivered from our misery --
as soon as the next shoe drops and Trump is impeached.
I understand the appeal of this line of thinking. In fact, I agree with many
of the basic points:
• I do think Putin must have something over Trump, because Putin is
the only person (besides Ivanka) whom Trump never disses. Given how Trump
lashes out at everyone else, that fact alone is fishy.
• I think there probably was collusion by some people in the Trump
campaign with Russian operatives.
• I think Trump fired Comey to stop the Russia investigation (which
Trump has all but admitted, himself). That's obstruction of justice, in my
book. | l****d 发帖数: 1593 | 2 Who cares? We want to eat burger with something, at least veggie, please! | m****n 发帖数: 2415 | 3 讲了一年的川普勾结,原来就是因为川总没有骂过普京。。。 | b********2 发帖数: 546 | 4 Unless there is a real smoking gun, which there is
