Here’s one indiscreet GOP Victorian Spinster explaining why he’s going to acquit the president:
“Hopefully it will be instructive to where … I think he’ll put two and two together,” Braun told NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “In this case, he was taken to the carpet.”
“I think he’ll be instructed by what has occurred here and certainly any individual would want to avoid whatever might need to be modified to go through this again because the threat is already been out there that ‘we might find something else to impeach you on,” Braun added, pointing to Democrats. “Which I think is a mistake because I think we need to get back to what most Americans are interested in, the agenda.”
Braun said the process “ought to be instructive to anyone here that if you’re pushing the envelope or doing things that may not feel right, let alone be right, you better be careful.”
That’s this Mike Braun:
Let’s be clear about what he’s saying. Despite his earlier comment that “it didn’t happen” he clearly knows it did. He knows it’s wrong. But he is now fatuously insisting that Trump has learned his lesson.
He made the call to Zelensky on the day after Mueller testified that the Russians had hacked the 2016 election and were planning to do it again — and he said to him:
I would like you to do us a favor though because our country has been through a lot and Ukraine knows a lot about it. I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine, they say Crowdstrike… I guess you have one of your wealthy people… The server, they say Ukraine has it. There are a lot of things that went on, the whole situation. I think you’re surrounding yourself with some of the same people. I would like to have the Attorney General call you or your people and I would like you to get to the bottom of it.
As you saw yesterday, that whole nonsense ended with a very poor performance by a man named Robert Mueller, an incompetent performance, but they say a lot of it started with Ukraine. Whatever you can do, it’s very important that you do it if that’s possible.
Despite the fact that the report proved he had eagerly welcomed Russian interference in 2016 and obstructed justice at least 10 times to cover it up, he went out the next day and HE DID IT AGAIN!
Donald Trump is without a conscience and is, frankly, too arrogant and narcissistic to even understand much less care that he’s been “taken to the woodshed.” His response to anything like that is to double down.
Braun almost certainly knows this. As with all his Republican brethren, he’s lying and at this point I have to think that he’s signed on to the “Foreign Interference For Trump ” welcome wagon.
Hey, Trump is the Party and the Party is Trump. What helps him helps them. And they’re happy to have it.
