In the final scene of Thelma and Louise, when Detective Hal Slocumb realizes that those wacky chicks are about to drive that ’66 Thunderbird over the edge of the Grand Canyon, he runs after them in a futile attempt to prevent their senseless descent toward self-destruction. Slocumb, played by Harvey Keitel, does a good job of conveying the impotent despair that moderate Democrats like Steny Hoyer must feel while watching Reps. Jerrold Nadler and Adam Schiff accelerate toward the electoral abyss that awaits their party if they insist on relitigating Russiagate and rummaging through the President’s tax and business records.
If they continue to mine the Mueller report for presidential malfeasance and conduct multiple investigations into Trump’s business and tax matters, the effect on Democratic electoral prospects will do severe damage to their party. The electorate has had enough of collusion conspiracy theorists and Trump truthers.
Nonetheless, the antics of the Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee during Wednesday’s testimony by Attorney General Barr signaled even worse behavior had he decided to appear before its House counterpart on Thursday. Wednesday’s Senate hearing included the usual disingenuous Democratic stunts, but Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham kept the proceedings under control. Sadly, the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee is Jerrold Nadler, who is already engaging in irresponsible antics himself, including a threat to have members of the Trump administration arrested if they don’t comply with committee requests.
Attorney General Barr decided to skip Thursday’s House hearing pursuant to Nadler’s bait-and-switch on the format. Typically, the House Judiciary committee would deal with a Cabinet official like Barr by allowing members five-minutes each to ask questions. Nadler and the Democrats however, have decided that Barr must submit to additional queries from staff lawyers.
If Barr had acquiesced in the bait-and-switch engineered by Nadler and his accomplices for Thursday’s hearing, one of the first topics the Democrats would have raised is a letter written to Barr by the special counsel on March 27. In the letter, Mueller has the crust to criticize the 4-page memo provided to Congress outlining the report’s major findings. Evidently forgetting that, once the investigation was closed the report was the AG’s to handle as he saw fit. That was not good enough for many Democrats, including House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff, who called Wednesday for Attorney General Barr to resign.
That Schiff is the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee is terrifying. Even after the special counsel probe found “no collusion,” Schiff has maintained that there was indeed collusion “in plain sight.” His persistence in this evidence-free claim eventually resulted in a unanimous Republican call for his resignation from the chairmanship of the committee.

Blog Author's Comments: The call for the resignation of Adam "pencil neck" Schiff, has made no impression on his apparently absent sense of integrity. His committee has issued subpoenas to Deutsche Bank, Capital One, Citigroup, JPMorgan, Chase, and Bank of America seeking records on President Trump’s personal finances.
Having been cleared by an FBI investigation and a 22-month special counsel probe, now the President will be harassed by Democratic hacks like Jerrold Nadler and Adam Schiff.
The President will tell the voters, “We have accomplished a lot together, despite these investigations. Think what we can do if you reelect me, get these bums off my back, and we focus on making America greater than ever.” If moderate Democrats don’t take control of their party and I hope they do not, that message will resonate with the voters, and there will be fewer of them believing the many Democrat liberal hacks.
