Okay, let\u2019s have a show of hands. How many of us have read the Mueller Report? That\u2019s what I thought. Kind of a slog to read, I can tell you first hand. Bob Mueller isn\u2019t going to get a nomination for the Pulitzer in non-fiction, not with the prose in those 350 pages, not exactly a page turner. How many of you have read the summaries? Okay, a little better and probably all you need to get the gist of it. Unless you\u2019re a Republican, in which case all you read was total exoneration, you know, without the caveat that Mueller put in there (more than a few times in the book\u2019s entirety) that if he thought Trump deserved full exoneration he would so state. This is Bob\u2019s straight-laced way of saying the investigation sure isn\u2019t over, but as for his role, gotta wrap it up. <\/p>\n
Course, now we have the administration and anybody within pissing distance declaring executive privilege and refusing to cooperate, turn over documents or sit for Congressional interviews. Trump himself, asked to answer a few questions from Mueller, said sure, welcomed the opportunity, but stonewalled for over a year and then finally submitted written answers to written questions. You can read the answers for yourself. But here in capsulated nutshell is what he said, maybe save you some time: Might\u2019ve happened but I can\u2019t recollect. Don\u2019t remember that, other things were pressing. No memory of that, sorry, can\u2019t help you.<\/p>\n
What you learn from reading the report is that Mueller was stymied all along the way. He couldn\u2019t prove collusion, but you\u2019ll come away thinking there was plenty of smoke. Like Bob said, Trump sure wanted to collude, but he and the other 3 stooges just weren\u2019t up to the task. As for the obstruction of justice, well, you don\u2019t have to be a Philadelphia lawyer to find our boy guilty guilty guilty. He makes Nixon look honest. Total exoneration? If so, I would so state.<\/p>\n
My question to the jury, meaning, the Senators and Representatives of this fine country, is the original one here, how many read the damn report? My guess is very few Republicans bothered themselves. Time to move on, nothing to see here, nothing to read here. Investigate where Mueller left off? See no evil, hear no evil, speak none either. If I were a reporter, my first question to Senator So-and-so would be, you read it? Show of hands, gentlemen, c\u2019mon, put em up if you read it. I bet the Russians did.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
