Magic 8 Ball

Former Special Counsel Robert Mueller has had his testimony in front of two House committees put off one week until July 24th ... see: The Hill Story. This is just two days before Congress leaves for its six week summer vacation. Now Mueller has previously indicated he will not answer any questions outside the bounds of his report ... which of course Republicans on these committees will not be bound by. They are sure to ask dozens of questions that will be embarrassing to Mueller ... and which he will either not answer or try to dodge.

Therefore these hearings for Mueller will be like to trip to the root-canal dentist without Novocain. Two days before Congress’ summer recess means that any further delays might be permanent. Which is therefore my prediction — Mueller will never sit down to be so questioned in public by Congress ... and most certainly embarrass himself as his swan song from public life.

Crime and Punishment

Special Counsel Mueller’s inability to prove any collusion or conspiracy between Trump or the Trump campaign and Russia means that there was no national security or criminal predicate for the Obama administration’s spying on Trump and his campaign ... nor any justification for the special counsel ... be it for this charge or even obstruction of justice which was also bogus.

This does appear to have been an Obama administration attempted political coup ... and it deserves to be fully exposed and punished ... even if this means that Obama himself is implicated. Otherwise, such political criminality will be repeated ... and likely do more dastardly damage in future elections.

Sidebar: Is Mueller to be commended for being truthful and exonerating Trump on Russian collusion? If he had done this early on before the six Americans lives were ruined (not Manafort and Cohen), maybe. Therefore, to me, he and his gang of cutthroats have engaged in prosecutorial misconduct ... and his refusal to decide on the obstructing of justice charge compounds this malfeasance.

Obvious Truth #14

One obvious truth that has surfaced from the Mueller investigation (which has also been recognized by that liberal icon, Alan Dershowitz) is that the Special Counsel, as currently constructed, is a  bad idea because of its unchecked power and possible political agenda. Clearly Mueller's only intent has been to bring down  the President while totally ignoring overwhelming evidence of  likely criminal conduct by many senior  DOJ, CIA and FBI officials. -- Anon.
