Senator Ben Sasse, who has remained silent on the real scandal\u2014how Obama\u2019s White House weaponized the most powerful government agencies in the world against Donald Trump\u2014called Mueller an \u201cexceptional public servant\u201d and applauded his \u201crecord, character, and trustworthiness.\u201d Senator John Cornyn, you\u00a0assured\u00a0us that Mueller is a \u201cwell-respected law enforcement professional.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Senator Susan Collins, remember how you insisted Mueller \u201chas sterling credentials and is above reproach?\u201d You had no qualms back then about the appointment of an unelected, unchecked, and extra-constitutional partisan prosecutor, but now that you\u2019re up for reelection the idea of filling a legitimate vacancy on the nation\u2019s highest court based on clear constitutional guidance and precedent\u00a0gives you\u00a0the heebie-jeebies? What gives?<\/p>\n<p>For all we know, without the involvement of William Barr in the spring of 2019, Mueller would still be conducting early morning raids on senior citizens to the delight of CNN viewers and you guys would still be paying the bills.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, you\u2019ve been completely impotent in exposing Obamagate or holding anyone accountable. Letter after letter went unanswered. Deadlines expired without any repercussions. Promised public reckonings never happened; subpoenas for Obamagate perpetrators are still threatened as the clock runs out and public interest wanes.<\/p>\n<p>Which reminds me that most of you have played along with the BLM movement in one way or another; bending the proverbial knee to agitators who despise everything you claim to honor. Some of you, including Leader McConnell, offered emotional\u00a0tributes\u00a0to George Floyd from the Senate floor last June and bolstered the Left\u2019s mantra about \u201csystemic racism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Senators Ron Johnson and James Lankford, remember when you\u00a0suggested\u00a0replacing Columbus Day with Juneteenth Day after Senator Johnson worked with his far-left colleague from Massachusetts to invent a new national holiday? That did wonders for racial comity since BLM vandals and ambushers have really settled down since then.<\/p>\n<p>LOL.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>OUCH<\/em>.
