Julie Kelly: The Coup Is Dead. Long Live the Coup Cover-Up.

On the hysteria of the Fusion GPS/NeverTrumper alliance that their partners in crime will no longer have a protector at the top:

"Just start calling Ratcliffe a fascist," Scarborough suggested on Monday morning’s show. "And call him a fascist throughout this entire process. Call him a fascist for the rest of his career until this fascist apologizes to capitalists who are Democrats who he has mislabeled [as socialists]."

...

[T]he freakout about Ratcliffe has nothing to do with his qualifications or his appropriate excoriation of Robert Mueller last week. The Left and NeverTrump Republicans who’ve been fully invested in the now-discredited Russian collusion scam also have helped cover up the real scandal, which is how the most powerful law enforcement and intelligence agencies in the world were weaponized by the Obama administration against the Trump campaign and the incoming Trump administration. They are terrified that Ratcliffe, like Barr, will expose the abuse of power, widespread corruption and media complicity behind the hoax, just as the 2020 election gets underway.

Unlike the current deification of Coats for allegedly "speaking truth to power," the real truth-seekers are people like Representative Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), Ratcliffe, Barr, and Trump who know that Americans are entitled to know exactly what went down in 2016 and 2017. Senate Republicans would be well-advised to make sure Ratcliffe's nomination proceeds quickly, despite the egregious attacks.

You're gonna need a bigger gallows.
