Ray McGovern's puzzling argument regarding new DOJ referrels.

From where I sit, it’s too obvious for words. Led by Nunes, Jim Jordan and Mark Meadows, those eleven House members are desperately trying to kill the investigation into easily the most corrupt president-elect we’ve ever had. It’s. Not. Close. And why? Why would they do any of this if he were innocent? They wouldn’t. The referrals are unprecedented. They’ve never happened before in our history. Again, why? No innocent man acts in the way Trump has acted since Day One, and no innocent man needs all of this protection from the truth.

And I’m saying that’s the case even if we completely ignore the possible election interference/cooperation with Russia. In fact, I’d be fine if they dropped that altogether and just concentrated on Trump’s business practices and his straight up election-law crimes — like those payoffs. If the probe concentrated on nothing but that, it would expose the most corrupt person ever to enter the White House, with mob ties for decades, protected by an endless series of NDAs, protected by folks like Cohen and now the GOP itself.

. . . .

And, again, I have never, ever understood why supposedly left of center media outlets would work so hard to defend him, especially given what he’s done since he entered office . . . the tax cuts for himself and the super-rich, the privatization of millions of acres of public lands, sold off to Big Oil and Big Coal . . . . the abject surrender of the EPA to the Extraction industry . . . . accelerated bombings, drones, war-fronts, plus the easing up of already too lax “rules of engagement.”

There just isn’t a single thing he’s done, on any front, that a leftist should support. Why all the energy spent defending him? Clinton lost. She’s not an issue. Taking down Trump won’t give her the presidency. It won’t even give it to the Dems. The GOP will still hold the White House, at least until 2020.

Why fight so hard on his behalf, and, in effect, the GOP’s?
