Do Democrats hate Trump more than they love America?<\/h1>\n

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., rushes to a vote on March 28. Schiff said in an interview that he rejected Robert Mueller\u2019s findings.<\/p>\n

The most troubling thing about the end of special counsel Robert Mueller\u2019s investigation was the reaction of so many on the left when they learned that Donald Trump was not a Russian asset. They were, to put it mildly, disappointed.<\/p>\n

MSNBC host Chris Matthews appeared apoplectic (admittedly not unusual for him) and went into a rant that ended with: \u201cHow can they let Trump off the hook?\u201d<\/p>\n

His colleague Joy Reid took aim at Attorney General William Barr\u2019s neutrality and referred to the \u201cseeds of a cover-up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, gave an interview to The Washington Post, where he rejected Mueller\u2019s findings, stating that \u201cundoubtedly there is collusion.\u201d He also said, \u201cWe will continue to investigate the counterintelligence issues. That is, is the president or people around him compromised in any way by a hostile foreign power?\u201d<\/p>\n

Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, continued to insist that despite the Mueller report clearing the president and his associates from colluding with the Russians, \u201cWe know there was collusion \u2026 why there\u2019s been no indictments, we don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n

And these were just some of the high-profile Democrats and Trump critics who were so invested in the Mueller investigation\u2019s ability to take down the president that they lost sight of what was really important: confirmation that President Trump and members of his campaign did not conspire or coordinate with the Russian government to get him elected.<\/p>\n

Instead of exulting in joy, many Democrats acted like kids who hadn\u2019t gotten everything on their Christmas list. That\u2019s frightening. There is something twisted in the idea that Americans would rather have their partisan dreams fulfilled than be assured that the man who leads us \u2013 however repellent his character and policies might be \u2013 is not a traitor.<\/p>\n

This surprised me, even after two years of suggestions that a Manchurian Candidate occupied the White House. My Face-book news feed regularly filled up with comments and articles on how Michael Flynn, Michael Cohen, Paul Manafort or fill-in-the-blank random Trump associate was the canary in the coal mine of the president\u2019s demise, and that Mueller would expose the strings attached to Russian President Vladimir Putin\u2019s puppet.<\/p>\n

But still, I assumed that my fellow Americans were hoping that our country was not compromised and our president was not guilty of treason. For those who truly love this country and hope that it can withstand even the most troubling assaults on its institutional integrity, that\u2019s a no-brainer.<\/p>\n

The left\u2019s barely concealed distress at seeing the president cleared of collusion and conspiracy with Russia and their insistence that this isn\u2019t over, and that he can still be found guilty of treason is proof positive to me that the real threat to this country is a willingness to sacrifice everything we hold dear \u2013 due process, presumption of innocence, and respect for our legal system \u2013 in a narrowly focused crusade to undo the results of an election.<\/p>\n

I sympathize with those who reject this president and his policies. I am far from an apologist for his governance. But this is about something much more sinister than mere opposition to a political opponent. It is one thing to despise President Trump. It is quite another to be disappointed that our leader is not a Russian asset. I think some people need a refresher on the definition of \u201ctraitor.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
