But wait, there's more ...

The Democrats never tire of this. 

They like whipping out “new evidence” at the last minute.

It’s their Perry Mason moment.  Or what they wish was a Perry Mason moment. 

I think of it always as a Ron Popeil tactic. The only thing missing is “Operators are standing by.” 

Just when you think you’ve heard the last from them, voila – there’s always a surprise.  A new witness.  A letter they’ve had for months.  A new set of documents, e-mails, or something else. It’s always designed to change everybody’s opinion. 

It never does. Mainly because their “aha” new stuff is almost always irrelevant, meaningless, and often outright lies. Plus, by now most people with the good sense of a sweet potato know what the Democrats are doing, probably because Democrats do it over and over again. 

Almost always with the same results: the media initially go crazy that “this changes everything.” There’s nonstop talk of “the smoking gun.” 

And of course, the “just when you thought it was over” nonsense. 

Then it turns out the “new” evidence either isn’t new, doesn’t actually bring anything useful to the table, or is completely bogus and unverifiable. In most cases the “new” materials come from sketchy sources with an axe to grind, greedy hustlers, those willing to lie for partisan reasons, total nutjobs, or those hoping to avoid or lessen prosecution of themselves.   

Remember Michael Cohen.  Christine Blasey Ford.  Julie Swetnick.   Deborah Ramirez.  The Ukraine-call alleged whistleblower. The alleged second whistleblower who never appeared.  

And now, Lev Parnas. 

Is anyone surprised Democrats pulled these weasels, these “witnesses,” out of thin air at the last minute? Democrats do it every time they’re losing in the court of public opinion.  It’s their grandstanding go-to tactic of choice. 

It’s also a major reason why I have grown to despise them as a political party as well as their shills in the media.  They’ve all embraced lying, misrepresenting and falsifying information to such a level I don’t know how anyone can ever take them seriously again.  I certainly can’t.

They did it throughout the Mueller investigation.  They did it in the Kavanaugh hearings. They did it in the most recent House impeachment investigations. Now they are doing it again, after discovering – much to their surprise – more than half of Americans clearly don’t give a rat’s patoot about impeaching and removing Trump from office.

Not when there’s an election a few months away, anyway. 

I just imagine Democrat leaders all huddled in some conference room somewhere trying to dream up something else to keep their narrative going. 

Someone says: “Hey, I know a guy.  I think he's a Ukrainian.  Maybe a Russian? Yeah, the Feds indicted him for fraud, money laundering for the Russians, lying and a bunch of other stuff, but I think I can get him. He knows Giuliani.  And he’s got a picture of himself with Trump.  Sure, it’s the usual grip and grin politicians take all the time with people they don’t know – but it’s still Trump and him together.  I bet he’d be thrilled to do interviews with our media friends – he’s got an ego as big as all outdoors.”

And whoomp.  There’s Lev Parnas.  On Maddow.  With Anderson Cooper.  Everywhere. Bullshitting his way to fame.  Getting the media all hot and bothered. “New evidence!” “Plots!” “Collusion with Russians!” “Giuliani, Pence, and Pompeo involved!” “Trump knew!” And now: “Voinovich surveilled and stalked!”

However, it’s all bullshit.  Parnas’ interviews had so many outrageous and unsupported claims – many of which he himself contradicted and refuted during the same interview – it’s clear he’s a con man.  And not a very good one at that. He can’t keep his own stories straight.

But he’s just another in a long line of last-minute liars Democrats love so much. 

Just like the others, Democrats will dump him when he’s no longer useful. Or when they find some other hack to lie for them. Which they will – count on it. 

Then they’ll push him or her forward promising “bombshell” revelations. 

Those revelations, as usual, will ultimately fall apart.  Because like Ronco’s Hair in a Can, these are only somewhat effective in the short-term, as long as no one looks too closely. 

The media won’t.  But eventually somebody will.  The lies will be exposed.  Always are.

Then the Democrats will simply move on to their next “bombshell” witness, as if the previous failed bombshells never even happened.  

It’s as predictable as a Ron Popeil TV ad closing with: “But wait, there’s more …”   

Because with the Democrats, there’s always more.
