“It’s not up to you,” Blumenthal responded. “It’s up to the President of the United States and his failure to ask for an FBI investigation, in my view, is tantamount to a cover up.
Appreciate the effort, Senator Blumenthal. But it is not tantamount to a coverup, it is a coverup.
But is it collusion to cover up, or a cover up of collusion?
The GOP goes both ways…
Neither. It is a conspiracy. It was always a conspiracy.
And what I think is “funny” about this is that up until the moment that Ed Whelan weighed in with that crap he posted last week, this was essentially a slam dunk for this nomination. That dumbass move backfired with spectacular effect–and here we are.
He did. It amounts to a coverup, does it not? When I come from, [sic], tantamount to is an allegation, not an allegory. [OK, so it’s not an allegory, just a generic metaphor, but the alliteration was alluring.]
Thanks for the response. Where I come from, that word (tantamount) means a prelude to something, or a substitution for something, as in a prelude to a coverup, or a substitute for a coverup. IOW, not the same thing as a coverup. But maybe I am just doing it wrong.
