The Many Lies of Jamie Raskin

 On the opening Monday of the Democratic National Convention, Rep. Jamie Raskin beguiled his audience with a litany of Donald Trump’s alleged crimes against the Constitution.

The Javert to Trump’s Jean Valjean, Raskin wore his obsession on his sleeve.

Speaking before a convention crowd jazzed by the success of their coup against the sitting president, Raskin again accused Trump of “inciting insurrection against our own constitution.” By this time, as Raskin knew, not even special prosecutor Jack Smith had accused Trump of insurrection.

As early as May 2019, Raskin was calling for Trump’s impeachment based on the “overwhelming evidence presented to us from the special counsel in the Mueller report of presidential obstruction of justice.” Any honest reading of the Mueller report would have shown the criminals to be those who conspired to frame President Trump for colluding with Vladimir Putin.

Three-plus years later, Raskin has no such excuse.

Raskin achieved peak glory in his role as impeachment manager in Trump’s second impeachment trial, this one for the events of January 6.

Almost nothing Raskin says, however, is honest, right down to his reason for wearing that hideous do-rag.
