Next Target of the Republican Junta? Mueller.

Next Target of the Republican Junta?  Mueller


Had Robert Mueller decided to entertain a doctorate in British Literature rather than Jurisprudence, he might have been the darling of the Literary Review Board for his unique ability to generate almost unfathomable, nuanced statements replete with double negatives. 

“It was not as if Hamlet were unable to not comprehend his father’s not being aware of his own brother’s lack of fealty to the realm and even the former’s not feeling guilty about his attitude.” 

Board of Professors: “Oh, well done, sir.”  “Remarkably layered, my young man!”   “You're not the first who hasn’t failed to notice the connections, you prodigy.” 

Any normal American trying to follow what exactly Mueller is stating in his report will have to contend with nothing so ridiculous, but a particular careful semantics which will leave many readers wondering whether to just leave the interpretation to Sean Hannity or Anderson Cooper.  “Yawn, whatever, I have Game of Thrones to watch…”

Coming soon:  Mueller implores us all to read the Report.  And Mueller knows that he has only limited time because, failing to motivate an unreading public to read a 400+ page report detailing two years of investigation will soon make him the target of the Trumpian/Republican Party and Fox News, which will target him for abuse and character assassination to defend the unspeakable alliance they have accepted as their fate.  

In the summary of Part Two of the Mueller Report, the Office ends with this statement before providing the litany of facts and evidence behind obstruction.  Every American should be aware that the evidence is there, that double negatives that state there was no evidence of not having done anything illegal equates to THERE WAS EVIDENCE OF LIKELY ILLEGAL ACTIVITY.

Mueller Report: Conclusion to Executive Summary to Volume II

“Because we determined not to make a traditional prosecutorial judgment, we did not draw ultimate conclusions about the President’s conduct.  The evidence we obtained about the President’s actions and intent presents difficult issues that would need to be resolved if we were making a traditional prosecutorial judgment.  At the same time, if we had confidence after a thorough investigation of the facts that the President clearly did not commit obstruction of justice, we would so state. Based on the facts the applicable legal standards, we are unable to reach that judgment.  Accordingly, while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it does not exonerate him.”
