Jonathan Chait / New York Magazine:

Mueller Testifies Russia Had Blackmail on Trump — The most interesting and newsworthy portion of Robert Mueller's six hours of testimony before the House yesterday came in the final two exchanges of the day, long after the narrative was set and the national media had grown bored.

Editor: Just to be clear: before blackmail can ever become a threat, one party must have information that the ohter party does not want to be made public. There is absolutely no reason to believe that Russia held such leverage/information on Donald Trump.

New York Mag: Mueller agreed that, if a candidate lies about his dealings with a foreign country, that country can blackmail him:

KRISHNAMOORTHI: Individuals can be subject to blackmail if they lie about their interactions with foreign countries, correct?

MUELLER: True.

Problem: There is no reason to believe that the Russians had information of Trump that would cause The Donald to commit treason . . . . none. I mean, didn't Mueller fail to prove such a Russian connection?

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
