Beneath the Spin * Eric L. Wattree
WHY IS THE MUELLER INVESTIGATION INCOMPLETE?
.
They obviously think the American people are complete idiots. In spite of all of the smoke emanating from Trump's corruption, Attorney General Barr is trying to tell us, "Aw, it wasn't nothing. Trump's been completely vindicated. While I can't show you the entire report, just take my word for it." He must think we're crazy.
.
Even at first glance it looks like the American people are being hoodwinked. While Mueller was preceded by an admirable reputation, he is a lifelong Republican, and the entire Republican Party is now being threatened by Donald Trump’s corruption. So flawless reputation or not, Robert Mueller’s failure to resolve the matters below leaves the unmistakable smell of funk in the air.
.
The investigation not only seems to have been prematurely truncated, but grand jury issues and trials have been left completely unresolved. It almost seems as though someone told Mueller, "Okay, that's it. You're out of here." How can Mueller abruptly declare that there has been no collusion before the connection between Russian agent Maria Butina, the NRA, and the GOP have been resolved, for example? Something is very wrong here.
.
Here are just a few other examples of the issues that have been left dangling in mid air:
.
Collusion:
1). Why wasn’t there a sealed indictment against Donald
Trump, or any member of his family based on the following?
a. The Trump Tower meeting.
b. Trump Jr lying before congress.
c. The Trump connection with Manafort and Russia.
d. Trump’s public request for Russia to reveal
Clinton email.
e. Russian sanction quid pro quo.
f. Trump Moscow Tower discussions during the campaign.
g. The NRA connection between Trump, Russia, and the GOP.
h. The significance of so many Russians attending Trump’s inauguration.
i. Erik Prince's attempt to back-channel
Russia.
j.
Jared Kushner's attempt to back-channel Russia.
k. Erik Prince lying to congress.
l. What did Pence know about Michael Flynn?
m. Where did all of the inauguration money come
from, and where did it go?
Obstruction:
1).The Comey firing.
a. Trump's seeming attempt to obstruct Flynn investigation.
b. Trump's comment to Russians in Oval office that firing of
Comey was Russia related.
c. Trump's comment on national television that firing of
Comey was Russia related.
d. Trump's threat to
congress during his State of the Union address.
e. The Attorney General shuffle.
f. Trump's attempt to intervene in New York DOJ personnel assignments.
2). Witness tampering
a. Trump's comments about Michael Cohen on Twitter.
b. Trump's comments about Manafort on Twitter.
c. Pardon dangling.
3). Jeff Sessions firing.
While I'm not happy about having to cast suspicion upon an honorable public servant like Robert Mueller, under the circumstances, unless one is a complete idiot we have no choice. Mueller's flawless reputation is not only based on his credibility, but also for being thorough, but what's being presented here by Attorney General Barr as Mueller's findings can be called many things, but thorough is not among them. So, again, something is terribly wrong here.
.
Maybe Mueller's intent was to approach this investigation with complete integrity, but one of his many virtues is his tendency to be a team player. In such a case, his flawless reputation would make him the perfect Republican for the party's intent to perpetrate a snow job. But we should reserve judgment on this matter until we can see the document in it's entirety. That's what makes seeing the Mueller document in its entirety an absolute must, because we'd foolhardy to forget that Attorney General Barr literally auditioned for his job, which speaks volumes regarding Trump's intent to obstruct.
.
So the Republicans are undoubtedly going to accuse the Democrats of trying to move the goal posts, but the goal was to have a thorough and exhaustive investigation, and that's certainly not the case here. Thus, they can say what they will, but the questions above need to be answered, and until they are, this investigation is far from over, Mueller or no Mueller. We simply cannot allow the Republicans to "Kavenaugh" this investigation (which is another issue that needs to be revisited), because the current circumstance clearly demonstrates that matters such as these are far too important.

But with respect to Robert Mueller, there's always the possibility that President Richard Nixon's White House counselor, John Dean, was right when he tweeted the following:
.
“Trump and his minions think they dodged a bullet. I have a notion — only recurring though — that Mueller delivered a bomb to AG Barr, who is now trying to figure out how to tell Trump in a way that doesn’t cause him to start World War III. Barr knows he works for a psycho.”
