“Keep your arms inside the vehicle at all times. The ride is going to get rocky from here on out.” – Robert Mueller, bus driver.
Robert Mueller still has faith in the Constitutional process in America. He may be the last man in America to do so. Certainly Mitch McConnell does not. And neither do the teabagger slime, like my Congressman, the not so honorable Mo Brooks.
Robert Mueller made it clear today, he gave Congress a road map to Impeach Donald Trump. Whether they can read that map, that is another question. But please, for God’s sake, spare me the “No Collusion, No obstruction” BS, OK? Both of them happened.
The special counsel reiterated his Report’s referral to Congress, and that Russia definitively intervened in the election to get Donald Trump elected—and we all ought to find out why.
“If we had had confidence that the President clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so. We did not however make a determination as to whether the President did commit a crime.”
“Under longstanding department policy, a president cannot be charged with a federal crime while he is in office… Charging the president with a crime was, therefore, not an option we could consider.”
“When a subject of an investigation obstructs that investigation or lies to investigators, it strikes at the core of their government’s effort to find the truth and hold wrongdoers accountable.”
The DoJ policy, by the way is complete and utter nonsense. It never envisioned a President who was a dedicated enemy of the Constitution they way Donald Trump is.
Mueller had no need to call this press conference today, but he did. Dwell on that. Dwell on the fact that William Barr said, ” “Well, special counsel Mueller did not indicate that his purpose was to leave the decision to Congress.” Then call to mind that Mueller just said distinctly, that he did leave the decision to Congress. As delicately as ever, Mueller just reaffirmed that Barr is a liar.
To believe still that Mueller’s investigation definitively concluded, “No collusion,” you have to believe that all this effort and expense to influence an election in favor of a guy whose businesses already depended on Russian money, and who at the time was trying to close a major real estate deal in Moscow, was all a happy accident, a blessing from above on the Trump campaign. All of this, of course, was in the report. But watching Mueller say it out loud was a compelling bit of theater.
The special counsel could not charge Donald Trump with obstruction of justice. But it’s clear now that Trump did in fact obstruct justice and would have been charged if he were not President. For that reason alone. Impeachment hearings must be convened.
Let me be clear on this. Donald Trump is an enemy of the Constitution. And even if he did not directly seek Russian help, he was more than willing to accept stolen goods to win. And the Mueller report makes it clear, Russian interference was done only to help Trump.
Shorter Mueller: Do I have to do everything? Congress, you have the report. I couldn’t charge the President because of DoJ policy. We documented the attack. We showed you the collusion, but couldn’t charge “broader” conspiracy. We laid out the obstruction. That’s it.”
IMPEACH THE MF!
