There were so many important matters of American government that found firmer footing as the Senate Committee finally invited both Mr Clapper and Ms Yates to provide testimony regarding the Trump Administration and the possibility of Russian Collusion. Of course many of the GOP Senators remained vigilant that their political Party’s needs come before the good of this nation, asking rather dull and dour questions about who leaked what, as if the leaking information by an intelligence agency was a more heinous act than the White House in providing the Russians and Mr Putin classified information via the president or his advisors. There were no leaks, initiated by Me Clapper and Ms Yates, but if you listened closely to the questions and comments of the Republican Senators, you WOULD assume both Clapper and Yates were the perpetrators of treason.
I would hope that for a majority or Americans, the truth still matters. The truth is not an item which can be disconnected and reattached to look like an IKEA shelving unit, depending on who the inept carpenter might be. The truth is a solid oak tree, it looks, feels, smells the same no matter where it is planted and it remains strong unless a mighty strong axe is placed at its core; and then only then, what changes is the oak (the truth) dies. The Republican Senators tried their hardest to take an axe to the truth and if not chopping it down completely tried to dismantle it so the end result would resemble something made up, something imagined and something so far fetched that it would be unrecognizable.
But Mr Clapper and even better Ms Yates, insisted that if you want the facts, they would provide them, if you wanted fiction, they would be of no assistance. Republican male politicians fear a few things. Like Vampires in the sunlight, the male GOP politicians melt when faced with truth. Like Werewolves and that shiny silver sword, the male GOP wither and die when reminded of their own hypocritical words and those words come back to haunt them. And like the Boogey Man hiding in the closet, the male GOP politicians run for cover when the bedroom light is turned on, knowing they will all be found to be nothing more than shadows, when a female, a woman is the one who is smarter, more truthful and more Patriotic than they will ever be. We witnessed a bunch of monsters die a quick death and the weapon used was honesty, and the hero’s Mr Clapper and Sally Yates!
