Axios is noting the renewed Congressional interest in the US-Russia Uranium deal, all with the point (of course) of trying to pin corruption of some kind on Hillary Clinton or Obama.
Wingnuts, who have convinced themselves that HC is the devil incarnate, keeping herself alive by nightly drinking the blood of children sacrificed in the basement of a Washington pizza parlour, think this is the biggest story since Pearl Harbour. Their judgement, of course, has long since left the reservation: it's once again an example of the culture war mentality under which the black President and female potential successor were a complete disaster.
It goes without saying that I could be wrong, but I reckon this looks a lot like the incredibly time wasting Benghazi investigations all over again. Wingnuts will think, regardless of outcome, that it was so obviously outrageously wrong. But basically, they have stupefied themselves out of reality via the internet.
In the bigger picture, though, apart from mere stupidity, why has the Right become so vindictive in such matters?
I reckon you see it to a lesser degree in the raids yesterday on the AWU. The Abbott led Coalition government was clearly out to get hits on the previous government via royal commissions - they basically came up with little of long lasting effect, and opinion polls indicate that it has done the approval of the Coalition no good at all.
Now raids on a union for possibly donating money to a left leaning advocacy group? Honestly, I reckon the public couldn't care less about this.
To care about it, you have to have this Wingnut vindictiveness which makes them look nasty and completely obsessed with trying to score political wins about not very significant things that happened years ago.
Good luck with backwards looking obsessions helping them politically...
