Robert Mueller is a man of high integrity is what the country has been hearing ever since he was tasked with looking into the Russian meddling in the 2016 election. Although, not if you listen to trumpers. According to members of the Orange Turd Cult, Robert Mueller is a part of the "deep state" who was fabricating evidence with the help of
13 angry Democrats in order to frame Dotard tRump.
Now, while I do not doubt that, despite being a Republican, Robert Mueller sought to provide the American people with a through honest report detailing Putin's successful attempts to install Dotard as the 45th president. Yet, he failed. He followed his narrow mandate and DOJ policy that says a sitting president can't be indicted. He did his job "by the book" is what I've been hearing. And, even though I was quite disappointed after the Mueller report was released, I reluctantly accepted that this was the best Mueller could do.
But was it? I mean, the fix was in as soon as tRump found his Roy Cohn in Bill Barr. A repugnant individual who now tows the tRump line in regards to the inane conspiracy theory about the tRump campaign being "spied" on. He is setting things in motion in regards to his Orange Turd master's desire to investigate the oranges (aka
the origins of the Mueller report).
So WTF could Mueller do except lay out what happened and leave it to Congress to use his report as they see fit (which should obviously be to open an impeachment inquiry)? The report makes it crystal clear that tRump obstructed justice. Although the toady Barr lied about that. In regards to collusion, the Mueller report lays that out too. Although Mueller let tRump and associates off the hook because there was no agreement he could uncover. Putin didn't call Dotard on the phone and say, "let's collude, bro".
Apparently that (or something similar) is what Mueller needed to say a high bar needed to convict on conspiracy had been met. Which may have happened, but the obstruction made finding it impossible. But is that really the case? Not according to former Naval intelligence officer, Malcolm Nance.
| Malcolm Nance (23:36): ...Trump's... accepting benefits from Russian activity that he knew was going on. And Mueller had to redefine the word "collusion", right? And the word "conspiracy" to not indict these people. It had to be active, tacitly explicit coordination both ways. Wait a minute, spy world doesn't work that way! |
The excerpt above comes from the podcast "The Bob Cesca Show".
Bob Cesca "is the Managing Editor of The Daily Banter" and possesses "a Bachelor's degree in Political Science". I downloaded the
5/8/2019 postcast from Stephanie Miller's "
Sexy Liberal Network" and listened to it on Saturday, 5/25/2019.
Below is another excerpt, this one from
5/1/2019. Bob Cesca talks to
Sarah Kendzior, a journalist who has "expertise on authoritarian states" (she has a Master's degree in Eurasian Studies). As per Wikipedia "her focus of study was former Soviet Union authoritarian states".
| Sarah Kendzior (30:27): The Mueller report, at least in my view, is not a very good report. It's not very through. It's missing a lot of information. He didn't interview a lot of key players. ... He didn't do a good job. What they [Barr and Trump] put out was such an incredible lie. This idea that Trump is exonerated. That Trump did not collude with Russia... that's just a flat lie. But, underneath that, it's still a pretty lackluster investigative report. ...it's not high quality and I kind of wonder, what were they up to? |
As soon as Barr misrepresented what was in his report Mueller should have called a press conference says Kendzior. As for the report missing a lot of information, I recall people saying (prior to the report being released) that Mueller definitely had Trump's tax returns. As it turns out, it looks like he didn't. Although that did not stop Dotard from lying about that recently. tRump said "I assume Mueller checked my taxes".
Bullsh!t, liar. If Mueller had looked closely at tRump's taxes he would have uncovered tRump's many financial frauds. Which is why tRump does not want anyone to see any of his financial information. His tax returns or anything to do with his finances. BTW, didn't tRump's chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg make some kind of deal with Mueller for his cooperation. WTF happened with that? What he knows will come into play in one of those spun off investigations, hopefully.
Either way, I have to agree with Kendzior that the Mueller report was a big dud. In regards to what is missing. What is there is pretty damning, though Barr and tRump spun it and much of the general population likely bought their bullpucky.
Though it might be that Rod Rosenstein is responsible. He appointed Mueller and was his boss while Jeff Sessions was AG. Rod Rosenstein, as it turns out, "Rosenstein Halted Trump-Russia Counterintelligence Investigation". "...Rosenstein directed Special Counsel Robert Mueller to limit the scope of his inquiry to possible crimes, not national security threats. Rosenstein made that order without telling the FBI, which had launched the investigation because counterintelligence investigators thought Trump's links to Russia posed a potential national security threat".
link.
tRump's ties to Russia were and remain a national security threat. F*ck that Turd Rod Rosenstein. The only reason Nixon resigned was because members of his party had integrity and told him he had to go. Those member of the republican party (like Liz Cheney and Kinzinger) have been labeled RINOs and won't be around much longer. The majority of the republican party is completely corrupt and morally bankrupt. They don't have any integrity, unfortunately for the Nation.
