A Fulcrum, A Lever, and the Holy Grail

By Wm. P. Fitzhenry  |  May 21, 2017, 06:00am  |  @wpatrickf

Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world. Archimedes

Virgil’s mythical classic, Aeneid, depicts the Greek Army’s ten year siege on the city of Troy. Odysseus was King of Ithaca and trusted counsellor to Agamemnon,  Commander of combined Greek forces. Odysseus was renown for his cunning and shrewd brilliance. It was he who conceived and devised the scheme which finally allowed entry into Troy. A huge horse was constructed and wheeled to Troy’s city gates. The Greek army then made a show of withdrawing from battle and sailing away.

The Trojans, who revered horses, saw the gift as a parting Grecian gift to their gods, and brought it into the city. That night Troy celebrated the end of the siege late into the night. Unbeknownst to Troy, the horse had a cavity in its stomach, and Odysseus and a few other select soldiers were hidden inside. As the citizens and soldiers alike lay sleeping, the Greek soldiers snuck out, and opened the city gates to the waiting Grecian Army. The Greeks routed the soldiers, laying waste to the city; finally claiming victory.

The term “Trojan horse has come to mean a trick or stratagem that causes a target to invite a foe into a securely protected bastion or place.

For months, senior Congressional leaders of both parties have known there is no evidence of collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign. Sen. Diane Feinstein D-CA has said as much on more than one occasion, the latest time this past week. What started as an excuse for Hillary’s electoral loss and a diversion from the fact that Obama had his entire presidential agenda soundly refuted, gained traction in the MSM becoming a hourly talking point.

Under pressure from the media and threats from the Democrats to slow Congress to a crawl, Republican leadership folded and began to push for an appointment of independent Special Counsel to investigate All Things Russia.  However, there is an apparent contradiction, which raises the following question:

If this investigation has gone on for months, and if no one can point to any proof of collusion, and if there have been no leaks of evidence to the contrary; why are these unsubstantiated charges still around?

The superficially obvious answer is that the Dems feel that they have to stay on the attack and that they hope that they can turn up some dirt that would be impeachable.

The less obvious but perhaps even more important answer lies in the basis for their hopes.  The Dems' nasty hopes are rooted in the fact that ALL of today's prominent Democrats are political CROOKS.  Not surprisingly, they PROJECT their own wickedness onto a Republican President--i.e., ASSUMING that if they investigate him vigorously enough, they surely WILL discover an impeachable crime.

Sadly, there is a chance that they will find something.  After all, nobody's perfect, especially not Donald J. Trump (who is, at best, not the world's most noble and honest guy).  In that regard, we have a big problem on our hands.  (For that matter, Dems are not above framing him for crimes he never committed.)
