Alabama Judge Roy Moore was too hot to handle for voters who handed the U.S. Senate seat to Birmingham attorney and Democrat Doug Jones which reduces the margin of Republicans in the senate by one leaving their slim majority even slimmer at 51 to 49. Jones won by a mere 1.5-percentage point with a voter participation rate of 40-percent, which means 60-percent of Alabama’s registered voters did not bother to vote!

All those unproven, unsubstantiated accusations of sexual misconduct on the part of Moore — from 40-years ago — apparently took their toll on the former Alabama Supreme Court Judge. Now other women are empowered to come forward and they are coming out-of-the-woodwork taking aim at President Donald Trump, accusing him of all the same things – inappropriate groping, kissing, fondling and etc. before he became president.

Immediately the Democrats universally claimed Moore’s loss to be a ‘one-finger salute’ to President Trump who threw his support behind Moore late in his campaign for senate to replace former Republican senator and current U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions. The Democrats are dancing in the streets over Jones’ win, but their light-headedness may be short lived.

Democratic hopes — that the ongoing investigation of Trump-Russia-Campaign collusion would yield obstruction of justice indictments against President Trump — are souring. Numerous, serious problems within Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigative team have surfaced that may bring an end to this open ended, never ending and expanding multi-million dollar probe into Russia-Trump collusion that has yet to find any evidence of illegal wrongdoing.

One of the more serious problems involve two of Mueller’s lead investigators – FBI Agent Peter Strzok and FBI lawyer Lisa Page – whom Mueller was forced to pull off his investigation last summer due to their apparent anti-Trump, pro-Clinton bias which has just become public knowledge in recent days. Some 10,000 profanity-laced smartphone texts between Strzok and Page were obtained by news agencies that show clear, long-term bias against President Trump. To add insult to injury, news reports say Strzok and Page were having a long-term love affair.

Reports say that Strzok was heavily involved in the FBI’s former investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email scandal and other matters involving her under the direction of former FBI Director James Comey, who was fired by President Trump soon after he took office.
Strzok and Page were not fired from the FBI, simply removed from Mueller’s team and reassigned. But now this is a huge problem for Mueller’s special investigation and its credibility. It’s no secret that others currently on Mueller’s investigative team have links to Clinton, her losing presidential campaign in 2016 and the former Obama administration. At the time Strzok and Page were reassigned, Mueller kept quiet and no announcement was made, according to news reports from Real Clear politics.

So now the Democrats surely must see they have little or nothing to look forward to from Mueller’s investigation that would lead to removing President Trump from office. The anti-Trump forces now need other reasons to continue their relentless assault upon this president.

Here comes the parade of women marching forward accusing President Trump of sexual misbehavior that will go on and on. More than a dozen women have come forward recently with accusations against Trump and many more will surface. Any woman that ever had her picture taken with Trump from years ago will be jumping on the band wagon with California high-profile attorney Gloria Allred and U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) leading the “Me Too” charge.

Just how big a problem this will be down the road for President Trump and his team remains to be seen. But with Moore’s election loss and the recent resignations of two U.S. representatives plus Minnesota Sen. Al Franken – all for accusations of sexual misconduct – the Democrats see their path to President Trump, the upcoming mid-term elections and retaking majorities in the U.S. Congress. Just keep throwing out sexual misconduct claims that might bring down the president.

Gillibrand has been highly visible on mainstream media with her constant, unrelenting assault upon President Trump. She is organizing a growing number of congressional Democrats calling for the president to resign due to all the sexual misconduct accusations being made against the president.

What Gillibrand and her followers apparently don’t realize is they are playing hard ball with Mr. Hardball himself. President Trump may lose or win in 2020, but he won’t be driven from office – by impeachment or resignation. The day Trump took office, the president’s legal team ‘circled the wagons’ around the White House. They are prepared to handle a bunch of women nipping at Trump’s heels.
