Optimism Perhaps Justified

Instapundit quotes the following from a column by Thomas Lifson who writes at American Thinker. I share it with you. The topic is the fear and loathing directed at Trump's appointment of Rep. John Ratcliffe as his new Director of National Intelligence.

The miscreants and their friends understand very well what is ahead, and they are acting accordingly. . . . Barr continues to state that federal grand juries under the supervision of U.S. attorneys Huber (Utah) and Durham (Connecticut) are active and will handing down indictments of senior members of the DoJ, FBI, and Intelligence Community.

With Ratcliffe as head of the DNI, top-down pressure can be added to discover who did what, what memos and documents were created, and what budgets were established to carry out the Russia Hoax. The Deep State wants these to remain secret, of course, but with Barr’s declassification powers and Ratcliffe’s access to the files, that is much more difficult than before.

Dare we be optimistic that some house-cleaning of Obama-era holdovers impends? Maybe with orange jumpsuits in the offing? Maybe before the 2020 election? Hope springs eternal.
