“Settling Scores” with Political Opponents is a Loser with the Public

 Republicans in Congress seem obsessed with using Department of Justice resources and their own investigators to highlight perceived misconduct by Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign and House Democrats ever since against Donald Trump.  The bases for their efforts seem well-founded.  FBI’s leadership has been implicated, the impeachment proceedings were an anti-Trump orgy, and the claims of a Trump campaign/Russian collaboration are without evidence.

But who cares?

Of course, correcting malicious misinformation has its place as an historical record.  And it serves as vindication for those who protested the anti-Trump efforts at the time.

But history, of course, is about the past.  Few outside those who participated in it care about it now.

So it is foolish for members of the Republican Party to dwell on what happened.  The Public isn’t interested.

Talk about the future.
