PART EIGHT---NO LONGER ...HOLD MY TONGUE

PART EIGHT---NO LONGER…HOLD MY TONGUE

Americans are sick and tired of government officials speaking in unclear terms and using words average citizens do not understand.  Robert Mueller should tell the people exactly what he found in his investigation, and should not use the back door to make statements that can be misinterpreted. Direct talk is always more effective than indirect speaking, but in the field of politics direct talk seems to be a thing of the past.  The public should not have to listen to the spin of cable news in order to find out what Mueller is saying.    

Robert Mueller recognized that the issues surrounding Donald Trump were just too hot to handle, so he took the easy way out.  He knew there was enough evidence of collusion and obstruction to indict the president. Robert Mueller feared that Donald Trump had enough power to bring down the house, meaning the entire institution of the United States government. Michael Wolff refers to that fact when he wrote in his book SIEGE that Robert Mueller is an institutional man, therefore he refused to expose the complete findings of his investigation. Mueller looked for a sophisticated way to paint a picture that left shades of doubt in the background; he found it and he took the path of least resistance.

Mueller decided to stay with the traditional policy of the Justice Department by not indicting a sitting president.  Even though this may be a Justice Department policy it is not a Constitutional policy.  Most legal professionals believe that the Constitution confirms that no one is above the law. 

Even though, Robert Mueller is highly respected by most Americans; I want to depart from the norm, and say that I strongly disagree with Mueller’s closing remarks in his short public address.  There are two kings in this administration already, King Donald Trump and King William Barr and America does not need the third.  Apparently, Mueller thinks he is above reproach, and he thinks he is too important to be questioned. He left the impression that he will defy a congressional subpoena, and this is wrong! 

However, Mueller did drive a couple of spikes into the reputation of King William Barr. He made it plain that according to the Constitution the Justice Department cannot determine the guilt or innocence of a sitting president. Nevertheless, William Barr did exactly that, when he publicly declared that the Mueller Report completely exonerated the president of any collusion or obstruction.

Mueller made it plain that if he could have cleared the president of wrongdoings; he would have done so. Even though I consider that to be a back door statement; yet it does confer with the facts. Therefore, Mueller left the roadmap that thousands believe is the direct responsibility of the Congress to precede with the process of impeachment.

There is something to be said when more than 1000 bipartisan former Federal prosecutors sign a petition stating, if anyone other than the president had committed these crimes, they would have been indicted on multiple charges of  objection of justice.

The world is watching one of the darkest periods in American history. Prosperity for the upper 1% is far from being prosperity for all. Low unemployment defies the term of good jobs for average Americans. The terms GREAT AMERICA is a modern painting that is being greatly misinterpreted. The majority of Americans live from paycheck to paycheck and annual bankruptcies reach into the thousands.

     

Outside America, people are witnessing the destruction of America’s democracy and the construction of an American dictator. Not only is democracy under attack, but the moral fiber of truth is being attacked. The saddest part is that many Americans are too blind to see what is happening.  When people are confronted with truth and reject it, there is something bad wrong with mental capabilities.  Not only is this sad for present day Americans, it is most definitely sad for future generations who deserve the freedoms offered by a democracy.
