Special
Counsel Robert Mueller’s final press conference (we can only hope!) this week was a pathetic display of frustration
and spite. I have previously pledged to
say no more about Mueller and his merry band of Democrat lawyers; but this last
little dalliance by him is too much to resist.
Here is the transcript of his short little message: https://www.politico.com/story/2019/05/29/robert-mueller-statement-russia-investigation-text-transcript-1346453
This
is what we get from this man after two years.
Read once again what he had to work with:
This
is obstruction?
What, exactly, did the Mueller Report involve and cost?
Time: 22 months (or 675 days). The Justice Department appointed Mueller on May 17, 2017. The investigation ended on March 22, 2019.
Length: 448 (redacted) pages
Indictments: Mueller ultimately indicted, convicted or got guilty pleas from 34 people and three companies.
Team: Mueller employed 19 lawyers, who were assisted by a team of about 40 FBI agents, intelligence analysts, forensic accountants and other professional staff.
The investigation: The Mueller team issued more than 2,800 subpoenas and executed close to 500 search warrants. The team also obtained more than 230 orders for communication records, issued 50 orders authorizing use of pen registers to monitor electronic communications, and made 13 requests to foreign governments for evidence. The special counsel interviewed approximately 500 witnesses, according to a letter sent to Congress by Barr.
Cost: The total cost of the investigation is still unknown. But so far, Mueller’s office has released three expenditures statements. Direct and indirect costs totaled $25.2 million through Sept. 30, 2018, from the start of the investigation (May 17, 2017). Although Mueller turned in a proposed budget to the Department of Justice in July 2017, officials declined to make it public, instead committing to releasing reports of the team’s expenditures every six months
Starving
for attention, seeing the walls close in on his futile and partisan attempt to
take down a sitting President, and in his last days…ole Bob could not resist
flipping everyone off on his way out the
door and stirring up some Congressional ish for everyone else to deal with. What a sad, sad chapter in American history. The facts of the matter speak for themselves:

One
of the most intelligent writers about national health care is Avik Roy. He presents an objective and practical picture
of the situation we find ourselves in regarding health care in our
country. His latest piece is very
illuminating to anyone who is interested in this subject…and we should ALL be interested: https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/05/stop-socialized-medicine-expand-individual-choice/

And
finally, a short piece on the potential abuses of power that exist in our
government. Power corrupts and absolute power
corrupts absolutely. The Nixon
and Obama Administrations will aptly demonstrate this to anyone who cares to
consider it objectively. It is not a
partisan issue. It is not a political
issue. It is a simple question of
understanding that all people are fallible human creatures and we, as a people,
cede our rights and liberties to our government at a very great risk. That risk is the loss…the slow and deliberate
erosion over time…of those very rights and liberties. What Obama’s Administration did to the Trump
Campaign and Presidency is anathema to the principles upon which our nation was
founded. What they did to Donald Trump
can be done to any of us. That should
keep you up at night. Read: https://issuesinsights.com/2019/05/25/report-obamas-spying-on-the-press-was-far-more-extensive-than-previously-thought/
