SHIFTY & THE TOAD: A Profile in Dishonor

In mindless lock-step with his dimwitted pals on the now notorious Hill, I am sure you've noticed how asinine "Shifty" Schiff, poster boy for greasy, slimy lawyers everywhere, has suddenly veered from his useless and laughably specious proclamations that he has "proof" of Trump-Russia collusion. His focus is now on the constitutional "duty" of "congressional oversight" of the Executive Branch, the non-existent "constitutional crisis", holding the AG in "contempt of Congress" and encouraging the House's use of "inherent contempt"--the latter used only once in 1935-- which entails the Sergeant-at-Arms being dispatched by the House to seize and detain the AG and any other subpoenaed Executive Branch witnesses to testify before Congress. And, of course, not to be outdone, toady Nadler, hereafter called the "Toad", is talking about introducing a bill which would end the statute of limitations with respect to presidential legal liability for "crimes" or "misdemeanors" committed before and during his time in office. A few things: 1) I carefully scoured the Constitution this morning, and, as suspected, not one syllable of "congressional oversight" appeared in either Art I or Art II; 2) as already discussed in a previous post, there is no "constitutional crisis" because what the Toad is demanding, that being the AG's violating the law, is nothing more than supercilious hokum, pure theater, intentionally disinformational and incredibly lawless in and of itself; 3) Though I can certainly see the usefulness of Congress' acting upon the doctrine of "inherent contempt" in particularly egregious situations, since Mueller found no collusion (which, by the way, isn't a crime unless there was a quid-pro-quo money exchange, which the report does not support), the House's impetuously and foolishly acting on "inherent contempt" would absolutely precipitate a serious constitutional crisis of the first order. And not even Shifty, the Toad or San Fran Nan are that brain-dead; 4) the floundering Demonrats are simply desperate. Always the lock-step party-first hacks, they have no uplifting, sensible agenda for the country, their increasingly annoying messages remain wed to identity politics, and their all-consuming and most likely suicidal interests remain that of destroying Trump at any cost and of extricating their worthless butts from the bowels of irrelevance, betrayal and shame.
