This
is it, all laid out, plain and simple.
The shelf life for Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller’s political
misadventure has expired. If you really
care about the truth; if you want to judge this sad episode on the facts; if
you want to be non-partisan and objective…simply read the three articles linked
below and listen to the following podcast.
1
Mueller
was appointed in May of 2017 by Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein due to the fact that
AG Jeff Sessions had recused himself from the subject based on his involvement
in the Trump for President Campaign.
Also, keep in mind that the firing of FBI Director Comey was basically
the spark that ignited this entire dumpster fire. How does Comey look today and after having
his role, and the behavior of his subordinates, in this event only partially examined?

Now
that you have read the language surrounding the original appointment of Mueller
and what it was about…think about the entirety of this whole Trump/Russia
Collusion nonsense. The absurdity is
this: Trump is being pursued by the Special Prosecutor for, according to his accusers, attempting to obtain derogatory
information on his political opponent (Hillary
Clinton) from foreign sources.
Understand…this is not a crime. Also, he was being investigated for
obstruction of justice because, supposedly,
he fired Comey to protect Mike Flynn; Flynn, who by the way was being
investigated for simply conducting routine diplomatic business with the Kremlin
in advance of the incoming Trump Administration…after the election was over.
Please note also that there is absolutely no dispute that one, the FBI Director is a political
appointee serving at the pleasure of the President and two, literally months prior to
his dismissal, Democratic leaders were unified in called for Comey’s
departure due to the bungled Hillary email investigation. We now stand at a point, as effectively
illustrated by Andy McCarthy in the following podcast, where Trump is being
investigated for attempting to do something that Hillary Clinton, with the
direct support and involvement of the Democratic National Committee, mainstream
media, and the Obama Justice Department,
actually
did. I am talking about the
Steele Dossier. Read it for yourself…

In
May of 2018, President Trump ranted about the cost to the taxpayers of the
Mueller investigation; claiming that it would soon be over $20 million
dollars. He was ridiculed for this
statement by the NY Times, the Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, and all their
fellow Resist Fraternity members who used
creative accounting principles to convey the message that…well, yes, it has
cost about that much. As the following
article states, its cost was over $17 million as of May, 2018. Does anyone in their right mind doubt that it
has now far exceeded the $20 million figure in November of 2018? The tragic comedy in this sad episode is that
the entire clown show is not the investigation of a crime, but rather an
investigation in search of a crime. Additionally, it is a job that should have been executed by the
standard oversight provisions of the Legislative Branch and the auspices of the
Department of Justice.

And finally, to tie it all up in a pathetically neat
little package, I give you Andrew McCarthy….
The time wasted, the money spent, the rancor and
venom created between our national leaders, the damage done to the dignity and
credibility of all the parties involved and the offices they represent…the Legislative,
the Executive, and the Judiciary…not to mention the Fourth Estate, the
press/media…is beyond calculation. We
will never know what might have come from the last two years of a Trump
Presidency without this leaden albatross having been draped around its
neck. What history will undoubtedly show
is that it was not the finest hour for any
of the parties associated with it. It
will also show that the grandstanding efforts of Senators Flake and Coons
aside, the Special Prosecutor provisions have long ago outlived their
usefulness, they should never again be resurrected, and they are the best civic
illustration of the old saying…power corrupts and absolute power corrupts
absolutely. Mr. Mueller…go into
that good night. Go gently if you will;
just go.
