The Left’s Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Week

Monday was a bit of a rocky start with the Supreme Court hearing oral arguments about challenges to the Texas law that allows citizens to bring lawsuits against persons who perform abortions. Based on the justices’ questions, the case isn’t a slam dunk for either side. A win for the Left isn’t a gimme.

Tuesday was election day. The Democrats lost bigly in Virginia, and were reduced to referring to the first black woman to win state-wide office as a “white supremacist.” They lost a special election in Texas in a heavily Latino legislative district. Most stunning, they barely able to keep the vote within the margin of theft in New Jersey.

Wednesday, oral arguments in the challenge to the New York handgun permitting system were heard by the Supreme Court. Most commentators are projecting a 6 to 3 decision vindicating the petitioners’ Second Amendment rights. (I’m betting on 5 to 4.)

Thursday, the first actual arrest was made in the Russia Collusion Hoax case. The supporting indictment filed by Special Prosecutor John Durham paints a picture of collusion by the Clinton campaign with Russians.

Friday, was the day that Nancy Pelosi was going give Joe Xiden a win by passing his more-than-a-trillion dollar “infrastructure” bill. She failed to do so, and also failed to move the legislation for the Build Back Better scam either.

And that’s just some of what went right this week.

UPDATE—Well, well, well … Mrs. Pelosi did move some legislation. She did get the Senate’s version of the infrastructure bill through 228 to 206 (7 not voting). 13 Republicans voted for the bill: Katko, Bacon, Van Drew, Young, Upton, Kinzinger, Gonzalez, Fitzpatrick, Reed, Gabarino, Malliotakis, McKinley, and Smith of New Jersey. Pelosi couldn’t have pulled this off without that Republican support. It will be interesting to see how many of these congresscritters are reelected.

An Arrest

It’s being reported that federal agents have arrested Steele dossier contributor Igor Danchenko. Special Prosecutor John Durham’s investigation resulted in a still sealed indictment, so the charge(s) is(are) not yet public.

Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen.

UPDATE—The Danchenko indictment has been unsealed. He’s charged with 5 counts 18 USC 1001 (False Statements) for lies he allegedly told the FBI. The case is filed in the Eastern District of Virginia, It won’t be tried by a DC jury.

I’m reading through the indictment during my lunch break. It looks pretty ugly for the Clinton campaign so far.

More later.

UPDATE—Igor Danchenko was arrested by “federal authorities,” but perhaps not by the FBI. Hmmmm.

UPDATE 2—Looking at the Criminal Case Cover Sheet on the court docket, I see that the Complaint Agency is the FBI. Hmmmmmmm.
