    Default A Very Bad Week for #TheResistance

    Expect the anti-Trump mob to be drinking heavily this weekend. The week has been filled with lots of bad news for them.

    Sadly for Trump foes, the U.S. economy is thriving: Market indicators this week continued to rise, pointing to a “robust” 2018. Jobless claims are near a 45 year-low, and “job openings are near a record high, and scattered but growing shortages of skilled labor are forcing companies to increase pay or improve benefits to attract or retain employees,” according to an assessment by MarketWatch.

    Several polls this week show the double-digit lead that Democrats had in the generic congressional ballot at the end of last year is nearly gone. Issues such as immigration and gun control are backfiring, while most voters credit Trump—not Obama—with the strong economy:
    The Democratic Party is bitter, listless, and devoid of any winning message or policy agenda.

    Which brings us to the week’s worst news for the Left and NeverTrump Republicans, who have devoted 100 percent of their energy to taking down the president via Robert Mueller’s probe into alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian government before the 2016 election: The credibility of the investigation and the key players involved in the scam is disintegrating.

    Let’s revisit the week’s lowest moments for the anti-Trump mob:

    James Comey: It started off with so much hope for the anti-Trump mob. In a tweet that was “liked” nearly a half-million times, Comey promised his upcoming book release and tour would show the American people “who is honorable and who is not.”

    Turns out, the former FBI director possesses the vanities, pettiness, and self-awareness of a teenage girl. (I have two, trust me, I know these things. He even uses a high-pitched, falsetto tone when he’s trying to be convincing.) But Comey’s inconsistent comments in A Higher Loyalty and television interviews have provoked Congress finally to take some action.

    Despite his moral preening about being above politics, the former FBI director admitted public polling influenced the release of his October 28, 2016 letter to Congress about reopening the Clinton email investigation. He was universally zinged for writing about Trump’s appearance, including his hand size, eyes and clothing: Fox News’ Chris Wallace said he was surprised by how “bitchy” the book was, and The Today Show’s Savannah Guthrie questioned Comey about his “cattiness” and whether his book might jeopardize the Mueller investigation.

    Comey told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos that he did not tell the president the dossier originated from his political opponents, a shocking disclosure from someone lecturing the nation about “values.” (We also discovered Mrs. Comey and their daughters voted for Hillary Clinton and attended the Women’s March the day after the inauguration.) On The View, Meghan McCain accused Comey of sounding “like a political commentator.”

    And in a brutal interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper on Thursday night, Comey embarrassingly admits his “common sense” rather than any hard evidence leads him to believe the Russians might have dirt on President Trump. Tapper to Trump: “You have said in your interviews, when asked, do the Russians have something on President Trump, you’ve said it’s possible, which is not a very FBI director answer.” Tapper also blasted Comey for trying to influence the appointment of a special counsel after he was fired. “What do you say to people who say, boy, that sounds awfully manipulative, not your role, and even payback?” (Comey responded that he was a “private citizen” at that point. LOL.)

    When you’ve lost Tapper . . .

    After watching Comey’s Clown Show for several days, congressional Republicans have had enough. Republican lawmakers this week asked Attorney General Jeff Sessions and FBI Director Christopher Wray to investigate Comey for several offenses related to his handling of the Clinton email probe and his leaking to the media of potentially classified information. Leaders on the House Intelligence Committee demanded that the Justice Department disclose copies of Comey’s memos this week; Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein acquiesced and released the memos to Congress—which were quickly leaked to the media Thursday night. The notes contain no bombshells. Nor do they support Comey’s claim he felt pressured by Trump to exonerate former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, which was the basis of the anti-Trump mob’s obstruction of justice charge.

    To the contrary, as The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway explains, one of Comey’s memos reveals how the then-FBI director set up the incoming president by warning him about media coverage of the alleged “golden shower” nugget in the dossier: “This briefing, and the leaking of it, legitimized the dossier, which touched off the Russia hysteria. That hysteria led to a full-fledged media freakout.”

    And late Friday, the Wall Street Journal reported that the Justice Department’s inspector general will now investigate whether Comey improperly leaked classified information to the media after he was fired.

    Worst book tour ever.

    the deputy attorney general informed Trump this week that the president is not a target of the Cohen investigation and that the probe is solely focused on Cohen.

    And, as you point out, that's a world class fail.

    It's not "me." I'm not a Democrat. This cycle, I want Democrats to win because I like split government - especially now, where we have a lunatic in the executive position and a spineless majority party, so need to have checks & balances more than ever.

    But it's looking good. Democrats have never had better candidate recruitment or a stronger set of candidates across the board. Still a political eternity left until November, but they should win the House at minimum.

    Oh, really? When did I state that when Obama was President? I never thought Dems would pick up seats then; that's not how politics works.
