“Just the facts ma’am”, Detective Sergeant Joe Friday, speaking to potential perps, witnesses or people of interest, spoken on the premier of the television show Dragnet in 1951. This Detective had no time for BS, avoidance, or disdain for the truth. For 30 minutes the viewer got the details, discovered the shiftiness of the guilty and as was the case at least in cinema and television, was pleased that the bad guys or gals were sent to jail. “Just the facts ma’am”.
At least 7 Russian citizens related to the banking or politburo businesses of Russia have suspiciously died some health me dropping dead, some falling from balconies and other just stabbed. Aside from once working for Putin and of course being of Russian citizenry, they all had met with members of the trump campaign team and perhaps Trump himself. Three men so far Roger Stone, Paul Manafort, Michael Flynn were and are under investigation by the CIA and FBI for their connections with oligarchs from Russia which translated from Russian to American simple translate into Putin. Rex Tillerson received a medal of valor from Putin, Jason Chaffetz and Trey Gowdy have received campaign dollars from people whose business is directly aligned with Russian business, and rumor has it Paul Ryan has had a few conversations with Russian hackers. Trump has both publicly stated that either he was aware the Russians might have hacked anything Hillary and actually encouraged them to do more. Trump lost the popular vote by at least million votes, not representing the majority opinion of Americans. His son-in-law Jared Kushner is now on the list of those who have business dealings with the Russians during the presidential campaign. Trump has declared Putin a great leader. And yet, the Republican Talking Heads all dressed in their white privilege or if they are of color and still a Republican Talking Head, patronized just enough, so they too think they have white privilege, insist America has better things to like permitting Neil Gorsuch to become the next Supreme Court Justice.
Potential treason/anarchy/lots of possible perjury/roadblocks and detours by Trump and his associates and the Republicans want to sound offended that the Dems have the audacity to perhaps (If only) Filibuster, Gorsuch’s nomination process. If Trump and Company are innocent, let’s discover that first and not after the fact, a fact that has decades of consequences of not stopped NOW. This should be so easy, but then this is not the TV show, there is no Detective Joe Friday insisting, “Just the facts ma’am!”
