Phantom Files

PJ Media's Matt Margolis reports the comments of former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe which were made on Fox News' Jesse Waters Primetime. About the raid on Mar-A-Lago, Ratcliffe notes that the so-called independent "special master" Trump has requested should be appointed and put to work. And then there is this:

I was a former federal prosecutor, United States attorney. Let me tell you what this is about. Good prosecutors with good cases play it straight. They don’t need to play games, they don’t need to shop for judges, they don’t need to leak intelligence that may or may not exist. And in this case, this tells you that the government didn’t find what they were looking for.

There weren’t nuclear secrets in Melania Trump’s underwear drawer, and they’re trying to justify what they’ve done. They’re not playing it straight before the American people.

The persistent activities of the DOJ and its various special prosecutors going after Trump evoke the image of the kid digging through the barn manure pile, muttering under her breath, "There must be a pony in here somewhere." You know how that turns out. Hat tip to Stephen Green posting at Instapundit for the link.
