Immediate Explanations Don’t Pass The Smell Test

Likely by now you’ve seen the container ship ramming and taking down the Francis Key Bridge in Baltimore. It was, and is, stunning video.

Nearly as stunning was the U.S. intelligence community insisting, even as the bridge structure still was hitting the water, that it was not terrorism.

This comes hard on the heels of the Moscow Massacre, in which the usual intelligence suspects were out with assurances even as the bullets still were bouncing around the concert hall venue that this WAS terrorism (ISIS-K, which sounds like a vitamin) and not a rogue act under the sponsorship of Ukraine or any of its collaborators.

Now, let us return to the past summer, when a bag of cocaine was found in the White House. A flurry of activity ensued and an investigation that took 11 days to determine that nothing could be determined. Case closed. Nothing to see here. Keep moving.

Repeat, cocaine was found in one of the most heavily guarded and surveilled buildings in these United States and nearly two weeks later, all we had was a final decision to say they had nothing to say and that was the final determination.

If only we’d had the geniuses who were so quick on the Moscow shootings or the bridge felling working on that cocaine deal, we might have gotten some explanations.

Instead, we got – and continue to get – what is politically expedient for the current Biden regime. They don’t want Zelenskyy’s fingerprints all over the Moscow shootings, just as they don’t want to acknowledge so early in a re-election campaign a terrorist incident on U.S. soil that is going to hamper the public for some time.

This series of events – and widely differing timing for explanations — to put it politely, does not pass the smell test.

Gen. Michael Flynn, President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser, was one of those not willing to buy the kneejerk reaction that the bridge incident was not terrorism.

Understand, you don’t have to assert it absolutely was terrorism to say that it’s more than a tad premature to rule out terrorism entirely.

It’s the same with the Moscow attack. Did it have to be Ukraine-related? No. Did it have to be anti-Russian terrorism and nothing else? Also, no.

Was it impossible to get anywhere with the White House cocaine investigation? Well, if you didn’t want to discover the truth, then yes. Absolutely.

But keep buying what they’re selling because this is only the start as we move toward November’s election.
