The Mueller Report
​
Well, it looks like we finally made it to the end of the line. To everyone who thought the Mueller report would drag on indefinitely: Take a sigh of relief. To everyone who thought the Mueller report would wind up resulting in impeachment proceedings: Sorry to disappoint, but that was never going to happen in the first place. In any event, we've made it to the end and somehow managed to avoid setting the country completely on fire, so that alone is worth a drink.

Seeing as how this is going to be THE most-spun political document since the fucking Clinton impeachment hearings, I'm not going to link to any articles about it. I don't care who has to say what about the Mueller report, be it FOX, MSNBC, CNN, or even smaller outlets like the Epoch Times. Everyone is going to spin this, so all I'm going to do is pore over the report and bring anything interesting to the fore, just like I did with the OIG Report on the Handling of the Clinton Email Investigation.

Yet again: The best advice I can offer is to read this yourself, but I don't expect everyone to do that because it's four-hundred fucking pages long. If you do not see a direct link to the information someone is quoting from this report so you can read the quote yourself, I'd advise disregarding it. If I do not directly quote something from the report and provide an easy way for you to look up the page for yourself, disregard it.

If you need an extremely-abridged TL;DR, I'll include one in the spoiler below. For everyone else: Buckle up, because I'm about to bore your fucking socks off.

In high school I defended Che Guevara as a hero and wore that god awful shirt with his face on it. Socialism/communism sounds appealing to naive kids who don't pay bills. It's the adults who don't grow out of the fantasy that are sad.
 
Granted, I haven't had time to watch the entire hearing, but from what I did hear and the reaction's I've read, I'll say this.

There are many legitimate criticisms of the investigation, the report, and Mueller's testimony, but I have an incredible amount of respect for this man. He and his team were under pressure that I could not imagine. I am sure he was bribed, harassed constantly, and probably outright threatened by the Democrats and the powers behind them. He could have caved to this pressure and done anything from taking the condemning tone that Democrats wanted out of the report to outright lying- and be fully protected and given rewards for doing so. But ultimately he and his team presented the truth, maybe not perfectly, but honest in the areas that matter most. I sincerely hope he or those who work for him don't face retaliation, but I expect that hope is in vain. He did his part to keep the wheels of American justice and truth turning, and that's increasingly rare in a world where those three things portrayed as outdated and evil.

His team turned justice on its head and created a never-before-seen qualification that's completely unique to Donald Trump. He failed in his primary goal--the one goal asked of a Special Counsel-- which is to come to a principle conclusion as to whether or not the subject of the investigation was guilty or not guilty of a crime, and refused to even make that decision, instead kicking the can down the road and into Barr's court.

His team filled their entire report from cover-to-cover with nothing but anonymously-sourced op-eds from the New York Times and Washington post and completely failed to investigate a single one of these anonymously-sourced stories and instead took them at face value and included them in the report as if they were the gospel truth. He and his team refused to pop their heads up and tell the MSM and political pundits that pushing the Russian collusion line as hard as they could 24/7 wasn't wise or factually-sound, instead allowing these people to try and rip this country apart at the seams while they dug as hard as they could to find a single piece of evidence to nail Trump to the wall.

If you were within the orbit of someone who orbited Donald Trump you were slammed with even the most-minor charge that his team could nail you with just so you could at least serve a week or two in jail, but if you had a (D) next to your name or were involved with Fusion GPS or the set-up on Papasmurf (AKA: People like Mifsud) then you could lie to his team and the FBI all you wanted and you got off scot-free.

Then at the very end of it, when it came time to hand the report over to A.G. Barr, he and his team utterly failed to redact even a single word of the report, forcing Barr's team to scramble to try and indentify the classified/grand jury material so that they could get the document out to the public as quickly as possible, hence why A.G. Barr had to draft his initial summary because Mueller failed to do his job. And if all of that bullshit wasn't enough: He refuses to exonerate Trump of any wrong-doing on the premise that "he couldn't find enough evidence to prove his innocence."

This is America. You don't fucking prove yourself innocent, you have to be proven guilty. Mueller is a complete and utter hack who went on a fishing expedition to try and rail an American citizen up one wall and down the other because he won an election that he was never supposed to win. He found nothing and still refuses to quit acting like a fucking child and just come out and say that he found fuck-all for collusion and fuck-all for obstruction. There was no collusion, which means there was no crime, which means there was no obstruction because you cannot be charged for obstructing an unjust investigation, and Donald Trump didn't obstruct anything, anyways.

Moore is a fat hypocritical clown, but he is also a vestige of the old Democratic party, the one that used to at least occasionally pretend to care about working class people who actually work. I also have a tiny bit of a soft spot for him because he accidentally ended up narrating my favorite Trump campaign ad of the 2016 race:

These are all fair criticisms, and yes, in a better world a lot of these things would not have happened. However, this is not a better world, this is clown world, and my thoughts come from an expectation of the worst. Mueller knew the power of the Democrats, had a taste of it himself, and had a lot to gain from doing what they wanted. But he didn't, not fully, not in the way they expected. Yes, it would be nice to have an actual hero, but sometimes all you get is the little weasel who, when told by his masters to jump, instead shuffles his feet a bit and says "Sorry, I know I should jump more, but...". It's a sad state of affairs, but I will not only take what I can get, I will be grateful for it, because I firmly believe this could have been an even bigger shitshow than it was.

The only reason that he was kept in-line is because when Strzok and Page got ripped out of his team it was a warning shot across the bow. He knew from then on that if he didn't weasel his way over eggshells that they'd have his ass in a sling before sunset, otherwise if he'd had the cover, he would have allowed his team to sleaze this investigation all the way to a wrongful conviction without so much as batting an eye. Watching him have to sullenly slunk away without so much as a participation trophy while all of the people who previously literally sang his praises continue to clobber him over the head has been indescribably rewarding.

I loved the part where Mueller said that he wasn't familiar with Fusion GPS even though Fusion GPS is in his fucking report. He doesn't want to go within 20 miles of that can of worms, though, so little so that they went well out of their way in the report to avoid ever mentioning Fusion GPS by name even though that firm might as well be the 800-pound gorilla in the room.

So should we all start gloating about just how adamantly these people all used to suck his dick or should we hold out for a little bit longer?

Is that the 800-pound gorilla on the right there?

I've held off on this for a while, but here we go
The definition of insanity is this:
noun
  1. the state of being seriously mentally ill; madness.
    "he suffered from bouts of insanity"

    Opposite:
    sanity

    extreme foolishness or irrationality.
    plural noun: insanities
    might be pure insanity to take this loan"
Notice doing the same thing and expecting a different result is not one of them. On top of that, there are tons of activities we repeat hoping for a different outcome. Sports teams play against each other multiple times with different outcomes, gambling is repeating the same thing hoping for a different outcome.

Hell according to quantum physics even reality repeats the same thing and gets different outcomes.
