Releasing the Memo In Desperation

EACH DAY ONE SHOULD seek, said Goethe, to read some good poetry, hear some good music, and, if at all possible, speak a few sensible words. In contemporary America, all three requirements are problematical, especially the third. We are exposed to bad examples. Consider President Trump. During the campaign, he incessantly accused Hillary Clinton of being "crooked", notwithstanding her lack of convictions. When the FBI announced two weeks before the election that it intended to reopen the investigation into Clinton, Trump approved, applauding the FBI. Later, when president Trump fired the FBI director, he named as his reason that the bureau had treated Hillary unfairly. The actual reason The real reason, obviously, was FBI director Comey's investigation of Trump's cooperation with a foreign power to try to win election. Trump tried to get Comey to stop the investigation, Comey did not comply, and was fired. Now, the infamous memo, put together by a Trump supporter in Congress, is another attempt to stop the FBI investigation by discrediting the agency, a desperate attempt which will not work, and may get the republicans in congress in trouble, along with Trump, for obstruction of justice. the desperate urgency with which Trump and his supporters are trying to derail the FI clearly demonstrates that they are extremely worried, and that worry can only be about the likely outcome of the investigation, which will likely occur soon. The memo accuses the FBI with improper, illegal behavior, allegations which must be proved to be accepted, but thus far, are from it. Indeed, supporters of the memo's alleged truth are trying to tell us that those who disagree with the memo must prove it is wrong, but no, the burden of proof always rests with the accuser, as we all know. Amid the desperate, last ditch attempts to spare Trump the results and consequences of the investigation, of Muller's independent investigation and the others, the Trump team is trying to avoid due process, but, ultimately, will not be able to.
