Pulling off the Scab

Robert Mueller proved in his press conference today that he is still a despicable person. The primary purpose of his (shaky) words was to pull the scab off of  any public healing that has occurred after his report was released.

By innuendo and implication he hinted that there was some sort of improper cooperation between Trump and the Russians ... cowardly and shameful! And then went on to condemn Trump for obstruction of justice with these weasel words, “if we could have exonerated the president of this charge, we would have said so.” How very kind of him. It doesn’t take Noam Chomsky to translate these words as “he did it, but charging him would be against DOJ guidelines ... so it is up to you Congress.” How sneaky and snidely can you get? While he stood there consuming his cake, it was miraculously still there.

He also said in passing three other things:

1) He won’t voluntarily testify in front of Congress ... and, if subpoenaed, will not comment on anything outside the boundaries of his report. In other words, he will not answer the many embarrassing questions about when he knew there was no collusion or why he didn’t investigate how Hillary and the Democrats obviously DID collude with the Russians. He is effectively inoculating himself against taking the Fifth.

2) The special counsel’s job is over and so he is leaving the Department of Justice and his team is dissolved.

3) (By implication) if Bob Woodward is correct and someone in his office did draw up an obstruction of justice indictment, this was undone because it was unconstitutional and can only go forward as an impeachment process in Congress. Hint, hint.

From now on, this man should only be known as Snidely Mueller.

Investigation Fatigue

The Mueller investigation is over. It appears to this observer to have been nothing more than an exercise in gorilla dust to keep the country distracted with bluster so that we would not focus on the many real serious scandals committed by Obama, Hillary Clinton, Brennan, Comey, Clapper, Lynch, et alia during The One’s regime. This obfuscating strategy continues into the foreseeable future with the intent to tire us out from bogus investigations so that these real Obama scandals will be swept away.

So, the fact that Mueller seems to have come up empty with his two-year investigation may not be a total loss for the Democrats. Hillary is still sipping Chardonnay in Chappaqua, Obama is ensconced with Michelle O. and Valery Jarrett in his DC manse, most of the crooked CIA, FBI and DOJ bad actors are still cashing their checks from book publishers, MSNBC, CNN and other media moguls ... and spittle-flecked Democrats are plotting new ways to negate the results of the last election ... instead of helping Trump to Make America Great Again.

“The investigation continues ...” So sad!

Barr Tab

It seems a reckoning is coming in our previous fast and loose federal justice system. It is not so obvious yet ... but everyone will soon see it and it may not be as expected. It’s revelations should occur in just the next few months. William Barr has been confirmed as our new attorney general and decisive things are beginning to occur. It is hoped and expected that the deep-state bias and wishy-washiness at the Session’s DOJ is now a thing of the past.

Rod Rosenstein is to be leaving the DOJ in a few weeks and Bob Mueller is rumored to be preparing his final report ... which many are whispering will not amount to what liberals around the country have been salivating for: Donald Trump has not been colluding with the Russians. Donald Trump did not obstruct justice before and after his election. No one in Trump’s campaign has colluded with Russia and it is not clear that Russia changed even one vote in the 2016 election. The only Mueller indictments and convictions that have occurred as a result of this witch-hunt were either for events that occurred years before Trump came down his escalator ... or were process crimes of “lying” to his kangaroo court.

But the rampant lying by FBI and DOJ employees and former employees, the Clinton crime family, and many others in the Obama administration ... have been broomed by Mueller investigators. This averting of eyes hopefully should disappear under AJ Barr. This certainly would be a refreshing change.

Hell’s Hell

Politics is a very slimy business — two examples:

- It is beginning to appear that Mueller may not issue his long-expected report or that the report, if released, will be a wet fart ... see: NBC Article. This report was meant to show how extensively Trump and his campaign colluded with Russia to win the presidency in 2016. No such evidence has been uncovered or manufactured in this two year witch hunt ... a witch’s hunt which increasingly appears to be meant to cover up for the widespread sleazy illegality in Obama’s DOJ, FBI and CIA.

- The rescue package that a joint committee of Congress put together to avert another government shutdown over the border wall is full of vindictive Pelosi  “land mines” as Trump calls them. Not only is the wall funding offer a paltry $1.375 billion instead of the $5.7 billion requested ... but it also specifies that this border barrier can only be of an older (ineffective) design; all new wall building must be in the Rio Grande valley; localities can override any attempts to build a wall ... and it authorizes $12 billion to be given to the Central American triangle countries who supply most of the welfare “dreamers” who are flooding our open borders ... see: National Review Article. This is like curing a cold with a case of typhus.

Political operatives, when they die and they invariably end up on Hell, are quickly shuffled off to an even more odious punishment — Hell’s Hell — where they are greeted by many of their buddy journalists.

Auto-immune Disease

Auto-immune diseases -- arthritis, lupus, celiac, etc. -- are quite insidious and difficult to cure. When our body's defense mechanisms turn against our own tissue, there is a double whammy ... powerful agents inside our body that we need and want become malicious and thus confound the notion of what is good and what is bad. These fighters attack our normal bodily tissues and seriously jeopardize what they might do for our benefit?

There is an analogy to the current political turmoil in America. It seems obvious to this observer that the Russian collusion setup and Mueller follow through might be analogous to an auto-immune reaction on the national level. Back in 2016 some in the FBI, the CIA, the DOJ and maybe even the NSA went rogue. Obama agencies turned inward to fight different enemies in our own government ... represented by Donald Trump ... both before and after he was elected president.

In order to justify this anti-immune attack, these weaponized agencies likely colluded in concert with Hilliary's campaign and each other to construct a fabric of leaked lies and fake news ...all to take down Trump.

Just as an auto-immune disease is a threat to life and limb, Peter Strzok's "insurance policy," effectively a slow-motion coupe with Mueller in the vanguard, is a very serious threat to what we understand to be our democracy. When our powerful intelligence and justice agencies are turned against a legitimately-elected government, everyone should be afraid ... very afraid.

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.
