For the past two years the legacy media have been gloating over the impending demise of the Trump presidency. Apparently in vain, if Mueller is to be believed.
With some of AG William Barr’s comments to Congress as trigger, the conservative press - trivial though it is - begins to gloat over “getting” former President Obama and his minions. I understand the impulse but suspect it is largely futile.
Why might that be? Regardless of guilt, imagine how many people would find prosecuting the first black president has a bad look. The “soft bigotry of low expectations” is alive and well, in spite of merited criticism.
It might be possible to prosecute some Obama minions, particularly those who are white. That would include his senior intelligence community people and top FBI folk, all of whom appear to have engaged in wrongdoing.
Going after African-American Attorneys General Loretta Lynch and Eric Holder would be harder. Very likely not worth the resulting accusations of racism.
I’d especially like to nail those who misled a FISA judge such that s/he issued permission to surveil Carter Page, and renewed it three times. In spite of which, Page was charged with exactly nothing.
