Friday Document/News Dumps

I love Friday. No, not because it generally marks the end of the work week, I am retired.

I love Friday because the juiciest news tries to dribble out quietly.

No doubt you have heard that Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russian election meddling grand jury indicted 13 people yesterday. Big news! Trump is finally going down! His whole family is going down with him! It wasn't a hoax after all!

Or not. 13 Russians! Not a Trumpian among them, only person currently within our jurisdiction and he was indicted for money laundering and identity theft. It is just too funny. Read the article to enjoy the outrage and surprise expressed by the writer at the discovery that Russians attempted to make mischief in the USA. Who knew!

Then there is this gem from Deputy AG Rosenstein,

"Rosenstein noted that there is no allegation in the indictment that Americans had any knowledge of the operation.

"There is no allegation in the indictment on the outcome of the election," he also stressed." (Emphasis added)

It gets better.

"In addition, the defendants allegedly promoted allegations of "voter fraud" in the Democratic Party beginning in the summer of 2016, through their personas on social media and political advertisements."

Really. Was Donna Brazile part of the Russian operation?

"Brazile writes the DNC was rigged (emphasis added) in Clinton's favor because her campaign was largely financing the party early on in the presidential election."

Sure sounds like voter fraud to me.

Speaking of making mischief you may have forgotten, or perhaps never knew about this,

" The Obama presidential election team has set up camp in Tel Aviv with the mission to defeat Netanyahu in our upcoming election.

The “Anyone but Bibi” mission is headed by Jeremy Bird, Obama’s National Field Director in his successful presidential campaigns."

Here is a beaut I never knew about courtesy of  Instapundit contributor Charles Glasser.

"According to The Week, the Most Qualified Candidate Ever said, regarding Palestinian elections:

“And if we were going to push for an election,” Clinton went on, “then we should have made sure that we did something to determine who was going to win.” (Emphasis added)

Whatever it is, meddling in elections included, it is ok when they do it.

I think I have mentioned before that if it was not for situational ethics the left would have no ethics at all.

"...With the intent to have a fair basis for judgments or action, one looks to personal ideals of what is appropriate to guide them, rather than an unchanging universal code of conduct,..."

What could go wrong!
