David Brock: ‘The
Resistance is Working’
by Adam Shaw 7 Jun 2017
Left-wing political operative and Hillary Clinton acolyte David Brock is claiming in a new op-ed that the appointment
of former FBI Director Robert Mueller as special prosecutor in the probe into
alleged Russian interference in the election is a sign that “the resistance is
working.”
Brock, who is known for his leadership of “Media Matters
for America” and his gushing praise of the failed presidential
candidate, claims
in a piece for USA Today it “took months of mounting
pressure and persistence from Democrats to build public support for action
while Republicans in Congress refused to even entertain the idea — let alone
act.”
“Only then did the Justice Department and others in the
Republican Party come face to face with the reality that the status quo was not
sustainable — only then did they move,” he says.
“The takeaway is clear: the resistance is working, and we
cannot let up.”
Brock’s piece comes at an awkward time for the hard-left,
a day before the testimony of fired FBI Director James Comey in front of the Senate Intelligence Committee on
Thursday. Comey’s testimony was released Wednesday afternoon
and lacks many of the the juicy revelations Trump opponents and beltway
journalists had hoped for — but it does include a statement by Comey that he
told Trump he was not under investigation.
Yet Brock’s accounting of the buildup to recent events is
dramatic and breathless, and he claims he is confident that it was the work of
“progressives” that “laid the foundation for an independent investigation.”
“Our work, however, is just getting started,” he says,
warning his progressive allies not to “just sit back” and let the investigation
go along.
Brock warns against White House attempts to discredit
Mueller and to narrow the scope of the investigation. Instead, he urges the
left to “be vigilant and united” in opposing attempts to obstruct the
investigation, to keep the pressure on Republican lawmakers over the
investigation, and for Democrats to demand any nominee for FBI director “vow to
maintain independence from the special prosecutor’s investigation.”
Near the end of the piece, he argues that what is at
stake is the ability of Americans to choose their own leaders. In doing so, he
delves into the Russia conspiracy theories that have been core to the Clinton
narrative of why she lost the election:
The Russians tried to take away our inalienable right as
Americans to elect our own leaders. This investigation matters because we need
to know if Trump, or any individual on his team, worked with Russia to
do it or tried to cover it up after the fact. Nothing short of our security as
the world’s greatest democracy is at stake.
He finishes with a flourish belonging perhaps more to Les
Misérables than USA Today:
“We must continue to resist. Letting up is not an
option.”
