Investigating.
ALL INVESTIGATIONS ARE GOOD. Why not? Why not find out what's going on? The only drawback is the expense, the time and money. All worthwhile endeavors, however, require effort, and, well, investigations, if nothing else, keep lawyers off the streets, where they might make even more trouble. If memory serves, when bill Clinton received sexual favors from a comely young intern, and investigation into the affair was launched, and investigation which soon digressed and branched into numerous other avenues of investigation, none of which were specifically mandated in the beginning. Bill Clinton said it best: "the republicans just spent seventy million dollars proving that I'm a sinner. There's lotsa folks down in Arkansas who could've told 'em that for free". And indeed they could have, and likely would have. And, as it turned out, receiving a blow job was about the worst thing Big Bill ever did; all of the various horrible forms of corruption and financial crimes of which he and his wife were accused and for which they were investigated proved to be fiction, and their investigation fruitless, as a matter of historical fact. It could be argued, and has been, that the various investigations into Clinton were the most wasteful witch hunts in American history. But again, why not at least find out? In retrospect, the Kenneth Starr saga seems to have done no damage to the Clintons, and it certainly didn't hurt to find some things out, mainly, that the Clintons were not financial criminals, they were merely trying to get rich. Belatedly, they succeeded. Now we can expect to hear all manner of wailing and moaning by Trump supporters with expressions of righteous outrage at the horrible burden imposed upon their leader by Robert Mueller, the injustice of it all, and that it is proof that dark sinister force, mainly progressives and media people, used Mueller as an insidious way to bring down the don. Break out the violins and kleenex, folks. We are already hearing it. Nobody but nobody, says Trump, could have endured what he has endured, and nobody else should ever have to. The truth, of course is that he didn't endure it; he cried like a toddler with a wet diaper the entire time. And why? Any decent, dignified person would have merely said: I welcome the investigation, because I am confident it will fully exonerate me, and I understand that the American people need to know that their president is not a treasonous traitor". It would have been, could have been so simple, so calm, so appropriate. but never expect ever expect the great reprobate to do the right thing, tell the truth, or to take the high road, or to refrain from any opportunity to lash out at somebody and scream bloody murder, when there is no bloody murder, no need for histrionics. Trump the unreality TV star simply has to gain attention, and has to be the poor victim, fighting valiantly against evil. Instead, he is a whiner, a crybaby, having attempted to obstruct justice daily throughout Mueller's perfectly legitimate investigation, and, as always, the president is the person with the least amount of good character even remotely conceivable. When seventeen out of seventeen intelligence gathering agencies tell us that the Russians attempted to influence the outcome of the 2016 election in favor of Trump, when trump, his family, and his close associates have a long history of many contacts with many Russians, and when trump, in front of God and the world implores: "Russia, if your'e listening, I hope you can find Hillary Clinton's missing emails", there is reason to ask: to what extent, if any, is the Trump campaign working with the Russians to secure his election to the presidency? The Mueller investigation was not only warranted, it was entirely necessary, and we still do not know its findings, because we the American people have still have not seen nor read it, but only a brief summary of it, which may or may not be accurate, provided by Trump's hand picked Attorney General. That, dear reader, is not enough. So, enough already. Mueller is finished, he has submitted his report, and now let us all read through it, that we may know what it says. This is not some sort of horrible, dark conspiracy to take down Trump, as his supporters, people of demonstrably and universally of low character pretend to believe. This is simple, common sense. Everything Trump has said so far since Barr's four pager was presented has been, unsurprisingly, an outright lie. Trump has not bee fully exonerated. Nor is he going to enact any retribution against anyone who was involved in, advocated for, or supported the investigation as criminals, because if he dare tries, he will and up engaging in even more criminal activity, and land his ass in an even larger sling. We all know that the don of con gives not a fig whether future presidents go through something similar. Donnie'll be long dead. If they keep their noses clean, like Trump refuses to do, they might hot have to. But if they do, no harm no foul. A little transparency never hurt anyone, even, and especially, a Trump supporter.
