CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MAY 18, 2023
WHEN YOU’RE A WASHINGTON BIGWIG, LIKE THE CLINTONS AND OBAMAS, YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH THINGS THAT WOULD PUT ORDINARY PEOPLE IN PRISON.
TAKE THE JOHN DURHAM SPECIAL COUNSEL REPORT ON RUSSIAN COLLUSION IN THE 2016 ELECTION. THE REPORT SAYS IT WAS PURE FICTION, BUT THAT DIDN’T STOP HILLARY CLINTON’S CAMPAIN FROM BUYING THE STEELE DOSSIER, WHICH CREATED THE FICTION, AND THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE AND THEIR MEDIA ALLIES FROM PROMOTING IT. THE FBI AGENTS WHO SAID THEY WOULD STOP TRUMP FROM WINNING THE ELECTION WERE NOT INDICTED.
A WALL STREET JOURNAL EDITORIAL GOT IT RIGHT: “SPECIAL COUNSEL JOHN DURHAM’S REPORT MAKES CLEAR THAT A PARTISAN FBI BECAME A FUNNEL FOR DISINFORMATION FROM THE HILLARY CLINTON CAMPAIGN THROUGH A SECRET INBESTIGATION THE BUREAU NEVER SHOULD HAVE LAUNCHED.”
VIRTUALLY ALL THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA CARRIED STORIES AND WROTE EDITORIALS IN THE NEW YORK TIMES AND WASHINGTON POST SUGGESTING TRUMP WAS GUILTY OF COLLUDING WITH THE RUSSIANS. I AM STILL WAITING FOR RETRACTIONS AND THE RETURN OF THEIR PULITZER PORICES. THAT WON’T HAPPEN. BEING IN THE MEDIA AND HIGH-UP IN GOVERNMENT MEANS NEVER HAVING TO SAY YOU WERE WRONG, MUCH LESS APOLOGIZE.
NO WONDER FAITH IN OUR INSTITUTIONS IS AT A RECORD LOW. I’M CAL THOMAS
