Obstruction of Injustice

Why was there a Mueller Russian collusion investigation of Trump and the Trump campaign? Given the fact that the predicate for this investigation was quite murky ... and probably illegal ... there must have have been political rationales to weaponize Mueller and his band of partisan desperadoes.

May I suggest the following six Deep State reasons for this investigation (in order of importance):

1) Distract and cover up the slip shod and predetermined outcome of the FBI’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s myriad crimes

2) Besmirch Trump and the Republican Party to the point where they would lose the 2018 midterm Congressional elections

3) Handicap the president in his ability to move forward with his administrative agenda

4) Provide a road map for Congress to start an impeachment proceedings if it chooses to do so politically

5) Provide an excuse for Hillary’s election loss

6) Alert the American public to the dangers of Russian efforts to interfere with our elections

Dear reader, it appears to this observer that the Democrats and Mueller scored on all six counts. And given the hysteria that has followed the release of the Mueller report this AM which exonerated Trump from the charge of collusion, I have concluded that he is certainly guilty of obstruction of injustice.

Delusional

Republicans should not get too excited about their near-sweep in the mid-term elections on Tuesday for, as President Obama pointed out in his news conference today, two-thirds of the nation didn't bother to go to the polls. The implication here is that, if everyone had voted, then Obama and his policies would again be vindicated.

Let me see ... when our dear leader prevails in elections, he is the hero (remember his "I won" taunt to the Republicans in one of his early-on show confabs)? But when Democrats are shellacked in an election where his policies are front and center, he still is not defeated because those who didn't vote would obviously have supported him.

Unlike Charles Krauthammer, I am not a trained psychiatrist, but I still get the eerie feeling that our leader of the free world might be slipping into a state of mind that can be best described as delusional. N'est pas?
