A Trump Witch Hunt Requires a Willing Suspension of Disbelief
President Trump states emphatically that any investigation of his campaign’s connection to Russia’s interference in presidential election is a hoax or a witch hunt. In making this claim, the president asks all of us to engage in a willing suspension of disbelief. He asks us to suspend our critical faculties and believe the unbelievable just because he says it so.
To believe the Russia investigation is a hoax, one has to disregard the ongoing Congressional committees investigations or accept they are supporting the witch hunt. The Republican controlled Congress currently has three committees investigating the Trump Russia matter. The Senate Intelligence Committee, the Senate Judiciary subcommittee on crime and terrorism and the House Intelligence Committee are all investigating what the President calls a hoax. Why would the Republican controlled Congress engage in a witch hunt against its own President? The answer doesn’t seem to matter to the President or many of his supporters. Our dear leader has spoken and deemed this “fake news!” Who are we to question such pronunciations?
