Andrew C. McCarthy: Donald Trump Was Always the Target of the Russia Investigation
[National Review] Donald Trump was always the target.

The point of the Russia investigation was to make a case against Donald Trump. Preferably, the case would drive him from office. At a minimum, it would render him unelectable by the 2020 stretch run. The kind of case was less important than the objective: criminal prosecution or impeachment. In accordance with the collusion narrative, the latter would mean trying to show that Trump was compromised by the Kremlin.

That is the astonishing takeaway from Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s report on former FBI director James Comey’s handling of his memos.

In truth, it’s not that astonishing. It happens to be the theory of my new book, Ball of Collusion: The Plot to Rig an Election and Destroy a Presidency. Obviously, if a book can show that Donald Trump was in the FBI’s crosshairs all along, that fact had to have been knowable for some time.

Still, if you’re going to write a book about a mind-blowing theory, it is gratifying to have that theory confirmed ‐ notwithstanding how alarming it may be for the state of our republic.

#2 People have been saying that for 2-1/2 years or so. Time is overdue for bringing those boneheads to justice. These people have sullied our American constitutional Republic. So far, those who were responsible for this travesty have been exonerated 6 ways to Sunday. Then, they had the gall to laugh, and in Comey's case, ask for an apology.
