Far Right Frenzy

As the evidence of Donald Trump’s corruption, abuse of power and obstruction mounts, yet another of his former lieutenants joins the ranks of convicted felons (making six at last count) and more public officials courageously come forward to bear witness, the far right has grown frantic exploding in paroxysms of vitriol, falsehood and incitement.
Sean Hannity of Fox now rages nightly, engaging in name calling and vilification of Democrats, nonpartisan public servants, congressional witnesses, the media mob, Deep Staters, Never Trumpers, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton and President Obama. Hannity so often repeats his  Big Lies they have been transformed into a litany tinged with religious fervor as he exhorts his viewers to exhibit anger and disgust.
Now, he has sent letters to every Republican senator demanding that these potential impeachment “jurors “ respond to questions calculated to elicit a pretrial pronouncement of their verdict. More troubling, a number of these senators, including Majority Leader McConnell, promptly responded giving the sought assurances.
