Mueller slipped up and revealed the true nature of his “investigation” and report. Mueller, in his final clarification of a remark made to Democrat Lieu, said the conclusion of the report was “they could not exonerate the President” and “they could not establish a crime had been committed.”
Think about that.
As suspected all along, this investigation was an attempt to FIND a crime. Sure, they had collusion, based on what they all knew were lies (if they didn’t, they would have done some research to validate their “evidence” derived from the Steele dossier), and they worked and worked and worked to try and get Trump to stumble into a perjury or obstruction trap. But what they were trying to do most earnestly was to find something… ANYTHING that could be turned against Trump.
Usually, investigations are of a crime to find out who committed the crime. Their goal is not to “exonerate” someone (thus the name “prosecutor” as opposed to “savior”) but to CONVICT someone of a crime. Collusion, they admitted, was not technically a crime (though the report did make it synonymous to conspiracy, both of which Trump and his team were ultimately cleared) and obstruction can only occur as the investigation of a CRIME commences. By the way, the time to “obstruct” would be before the investigation gets too far along, not after it has gone on for over a year.
This was an investigation of Trump’s campaign colluding/conspiring with Russians. How was that exhibited? Aside from the false salacious information in the Steele dossier, later determined to have originated with three Putin associates (not a concern of the Mueller investigation, apparently… not in his “purview”), it rests on the circumstances around a Mr. Papadopolis telling someone that the Russians had the DNC’s emails. Further investigation (again, not the part that was Mueller’s “purview”) revealed that the person relating that information to Papadopolis was a person named Misfud, characterized by Mueller as a Russian asset. Turns out, he was a WESTERN asset, more specifically, working with the FBI. So, an FBI asset was directed to seek Papadopolis out at a seminar in London, passed the rumor of the Russians along to him, and then later Papadopolis related in conversation with an Australian that he heard the Russians had the DNC’s emails. THAT’S what led the FBI and this investigation to presume Trump’s campaign colluded with Russians. Get it?
By the way, there is NO evidence the DNC was ever hacked. The DNC never allowed the FBI to inspect their server themselves (why?). Instead, they had Crowdstrike (funded by Google, a Hillary supporter) “examine” the server and tell the FBI what they found. Hey, if you can’t trust the DNC, who railroaded Hillary into the Presidential candidacy and lied to all their supporters to tell the truth, who CAN you trust?
So, “cannot exonerate” and “cannot verify a crime was committed” is significant and revealing. To the surprise of a limited few, this was indeed a witch hunt seeking a crime, not a necessary investigation OF a crime.
And the Democrats want to follow the same police state logic regarding Trump’s income taxes. These people are trying to take us down a very dangerous road.
Just a regular, run-of-the-mill guy. I worked in the RV business while going to college and after before I got a job in a cabinet shop in the corporate aviation business. There I worked for 37 years doing cabinetry, service, airframe, finish, paint and upholstery work. I’m now retired. I’ve been married for almost 50 years (to the same gal, my high school sweetheart), have two daughters and 8 grandchildren. I’ve been conservative all my life, even before I knew what conservative was; it was just the right way to be.
