    The "Left" Setting the Stage of Trumps lack of Legitimacy?

    That shouldn't be too hard...

    Why Republicans Lose the Narrative Battle: The Inspector-General Gambit

    To delegitimize Trump’s victory, the Left is setting the parameters of the controversy and the terms by which it will be discussed.

    Please understand: The charade now underway has nothing to do with determining whether Justice Department protocols were violated by the statements of FBI and Justice Department officials who revealed non-public investigative information — in Comey’s case, to the public at large. That’s the pretext for convening something that can be called a “Justice Department investigation” (which sounds like we’re looking to identify a culprit) by the inspector general (which sounds like the investigation must be non-partisan, even though the IG is an Obama appointee who works with, although often not under the supervision of, Obama’s chosen attorney general). To the contrary, what is going on here is a battle, which Democrats are hell-bent on winning, between two competing narratives.

    The important point...

    From the original NRO article...

    "Republicans are at sea, not knowing quite what is being investigated. Precisely because of the way Democrats have teed things up, Republicans have been hoodwinked into thinking that they must figure out where to come down on FBI director James Comey’s rollercoaster announcements during the campaign stretch run.

By the time the GOP grasps what’s happening, the public’s understanding of the controversy will be set in stone."

    Isn't this just a hit piece worked up to devalue the investigation into Comey's actions?
    Saying Democrats are "hell bent on winning" is kind of whiny when the GOP just raked in all the chips in November.

    This is a Trump tweet dressed up to get let into the club where Brooks hangs out.
     


    Andrew McCarthy the author of this National Review piece in 2010 wrote the book The Grand Jihad: How Islam and the Left Sabotage America:

    The real threat to the United States is not terrorism. The real threat is Islamism, whose sophisticated forces have collaborated with the American Left not only to undermine U.S. national security but also to shred the fabric of American constitutional democracy—freedom and individual liberty.

    Do you think Andrew McCarthy might just be another right wing grifter looking for his take as the Republicans liquidate our democracy?
