Happy Anniversary, Bob!

                “Show me the man, and I’ll show you the crime.” –Soviet Secret Police Chief Lavrentiy Berla, serving the regime of Joseph Stalin.

                “Ooops.” –U.S. Special Investigator Robert Mueller on several occasions, I am positive.

                Last week marks the one-year anniversary of one of the biggest boondoggle wastes of time and money in American history, the famous Trump-Russian Collusion Investigation, starring Pretty Boy Bobby Mueller, Rod Rosenstein and assorted others. And the evidence just keeps piling up!

                No, it doesn’t.

                Using the Wall Street Journal, Forbes Online, The New York Times and The Washington Post, here is a summary of the “preponderance of evidence” in proving collusion between President Trump’s campaign and The Evil Empire:

                --Persons associated with the Trump Campaign talked to some Russians.
                --Trump businesses, as have his competitors in the luxury property development business, have been doing business with wealthy Russians for decades. (And wealthy Germans, Saudi’s, Spaniards, French, Brits, pick a country and yup, probably them too.)
                --Russian propagandists trained Trump (that’s not actually a fact, it’s just an assertion by Maxine Waters that The NYT saw fit to print that I just couldn’t resist ‘cuz Battle Max cracks me up almost as much as Nancy Pants).
               --Michael Flynn accepted $43,000 from a Russian Ambassador for a speech that he failed to disclose. Shame. Shame.
                --Paul Manafort did some unsavory consulting work for Ukranian and Russian politicians as recently as nine years before Trump’s campaign, which was investigated by the DOJ who didn’t bother to indict him back in 2007 when it happened. Nope. Had to wait for Comrade Mueller to indict him in 2017.
                --And, of course. the Steele Dossier. Which, like Congresswoman Water’s senile ramblings, proved to have been a total fantastical fabrication with no basis in fact whatsoever. Well, there was that one fact I guess we’re just going to ignore—Hillary’s campaign paid for it.

                That’s it. In a year. There’s just nothing there.  I’m sorry, libs. It should just be over. How many magic bullets that turn into dust in the wind do there have to be before you quit pounding and kicking the floor at the super market and just get up and follow Mom to the check out line?

                According to Trump’s new lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, Mueller and his team of crack deputy dawgs have had themselves a gander at 1.4 million documents and have interviewed 28 witnesses and they have nothing to show for it but shame and embarrassment. As Giuliani said in an interview about Bobby M last week on Fox News (those lying bastards), “If you’re going to write a fair report, fine, write it. If you’re going to write an unfair report, write it and we will combat it. We are ready to rip it apart.”

                This isn’t the first time Mueller has been wrong. Really, really wrong.

                In 1986-1987, our boy Bob was the Assistant DA in Boston in charge of investigating organized crime. (If you’ve seen the movie “The Departed” you’ve got the back story on this.) The biggest crime boss in the city, Whitey Bulger, turned out to be Mueller’s confidential informant.

                It was a great relationship. In return for funneling Big Bad Bob information on other bad guys, Bulger pretty much got free reign to conduct whatever criminal activity he wanted to in Boston. Even better, it turns out Bulger was using Bunghole Bob as a stooge and was feeding him information on his competition so Bob could get them out of his way for him.

                I know it sounds like I’m making up my own movie, but I’m not. You can find all this on line—mostly in the Boston Herald.

                So the star of our show, Robert “Atta boy” Mueller, imprisoned four innocent men on murder charges for over 30 years. Unfortunately, two of them didn’t live to be exonerated by the DOJ when it was proven that Mueller and the FBI withheld evidence “to protect their informant.” Their informant, Whitey Bulger, remember. The guy who got to expand his criminal enterprise to the entire city because he duped Mueller into chasing his tail.

                The State of Massachusetts did give the families of the four guys who didn’t actually murder anyone as it turns out $102 million, a pat on the head and a really sheepish apology.

                When the FBI was getting ready to arrest Bulger in 1994 on racketeering charges, “somebody” tipped him off and he disappeared until 2011 when they finally caught up to him. He was enjoying the sea air in Santa Monica, CA, where they welcome criminals of all sorts and just kind of living the good life for 16 or 17 years while four innocent men rotted in prison cells thanks to Whitey Bulger and Blackie Bob. Bulger, 81,  is now inmate 02182-748 at the U.S. Penitentiary in Sumterville, FL.  Mueller is, well…

                So this Russia thing isn’t the first time B-b-b-bob Mueller has cost taxpayers a whole bunch of money. Or even the second.

                In 2001 when Mueller was head of the FBI somebody started mailing letters laced with anthrax to various unsuspecting folks. Ignoring a wheelbarrow full of facts that pointed to the same fun-loving characters and the organization that brought down the World Trade Center and caused some major remodeling projects at The Pentagon, Mueller instead focused like a laser on Steven Hatfill, an Army veteran working with the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute, an organization dedicated to protecting America from bioterrorist threats.

                Mueller felt that all the little clues in the letters, like “Death To America” and “Allah is great,” were just smokescreens to throw him off the trail of international criminal mastermind, Hatfill. There was never any evidence to  generate an indictment and after the DOJ cleared Hatfill of any wrongdoing and offered its sincerest apologies, he did at least go on to sue and win $6.2 million for the harassment the old FBI put him through. Put it on Mueller’s tab, eh.

                Mueller moved on too. When the DOJ said “You have to leave Hatfield alone, he didn’t do anything,” Mueller set his sights on a shady character named Bruce Ivins.

                Ivins was an Army researcher who had actually been assisting the FBI in their anthrax investigation for five years. U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Taylor said Ivins was “guilty beyond reasonable doubt.”

               The DOJ again said, “No he’s not.”

 

                This after a former FBI agent who had worked the case sued the FBI for concealing evidence exculpatory to Ivins. Obviously Ivins was never indicted either.

 

                  Don’t you kind of have to wonder why they were so hot after Hatfill for five years if Ivins were “guilty beyond reasonable doubt?” No one was ever indicted.

                Mueller’s stance on botching this one? He stated the FBI had made no mistakes and he refused to apologize to Hatfill, Ivins, and the American people.

                Is anyone else wondering how he got his current gig?

                So c’mon Bob, write your stupid report. No matter what, the media will do their best to make you look good and Trump look guilty. We know that. We expect it. We don’t care because we don’t believe either of you and all the caterwauling on the left is just background noise now. All we want is to quit hearing the constant droning on about Russia when there is absolutely nothing to drone on about.

                In the meantime, happy anniversary, big guy.     

Turning Down My Hearing Aid

                I didn’t think it could come to this but I have to try so hard to even hear what the left is saying from day to day anymore.  The anti-Trump rhetoric and the hatred of all things and people conservative has become so repetitive, groundless and boring that even when I force myself to read it and listen to it it begins to sound like Charlie Brown’s teacher: “Wah-wah-wah-WAH-wah.”

                “We hate Trump…Trump’s a racist…all conservatives are racist…for sure they beat their wives around election time…Trump hates Mexicans…conservatives hate women…a billionaire playboy slept with a prostitute…” And always, “Russia, Russia, Russia!”

                Please just stop. We can’t even hear you anymore. Put your pussy hats on and play Yahtzee and tell each other how bad it is over some wine and cheese, but leave us alone.

                Blue wave? Blue wave? Blue puddle is more like it.

                This week part of Pretty Boy Bobby Mueller’s Salem Witch Hunt Squad (that won’t be the actual movie title but it should be entertaining when it comes out) presented an 18-count indictment in West Virginia to U.S. District Court Judge T.S. Ellis (not to be confused with a poet with a similar name) against former Trump campaign aid Paul Manafort for tax evasion and bank fraud charges dating back to 2005 and 2007 when Trump was just a citizen.

                The charges had already been investigated once by the DOJ—in a bit more timely fashion—and were deemed in real time to not be substantial enough to bring an indictment. But now, as a result of Mueller trying to rip the cover off how Boris and Natasha forced 10’s of millions of Americans to vote for President Trump, the charges have new vitality and relevance and, at least Mueller’s crack investigative team is hoping, some serious leverage to force Manafort to give them something to bring Trump down.

                Something. Anything, please. Because in over a year they haven’t been able to uncover one piece of real, documentable, usable evidence that Trump colluded with Russia to rob HRC of her rightful spot on the throne and now they would settle for an eyewitness account of Trump stealing a peanut butter and jelly sandwich from a friend’s lunchbox in the fifth grade.

                Judge Ellis told Mueller’s council at the hearing, “You don’t really care about Mr. Manafort. You care about what information Mr. Manafort can give you to lead to an impeachment or whatever of President Trump.”

 Information that doesn’t even have to be real or true. This is, after all, American politics and even scuzzier, American media.

Judge Ellis suggested (sounded stronger than a suggestion to me, but that’s how Fox, World Net and ABC reported it) Mueller’s team had “LIED” in an effort to seek “unfettered power” to bring down the President by whatever means possible.

When Mueller’s lead council on this case protested that they were empowered by the scope memo from our pal at Justice, Assistant AG Rod Rosenstein, Judge Ellis demanded he be allowed to see an unredeacted copy of said scope memo detailing said scope of Mueller’s “Russian” (or whatever the hell, we don’t care, we are just so darned MAD!!!) probe.

The sitting U.S. District Court Judge, who has held that title for 31 years, has published over 1000 decisions and sits by designation on the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, was told by Mueller’s unnotable and soon forgettable little puke of a prosecutor that he could not because the memo contained sensitive national security information and intelligence matters.

Material so sensitive that it can only be viewed by people on Mueller’s team, including above-mentioned forgettable puke, other mid-level prosecutors, consultants, clerks, staff and pretty much anybody else who worked for Hillary’s campaign or is a member of the rumored Deep State, but not a sitting U.S. District Court Judge because everyone knows you can’t trust them.

In other words, Pretty Boy Bob and his band of merry traitors have whatever power they want to say they have to do whatever they want to do and no one can question them because no one can see the memo granting them the powers they may decide they need on any given day with regard to any given subject which took place during any given time frame. Or not.

And all that makes perfect sense to the left and its pet Media because all they want is Trump gone and how else are you going to do that but to have the authority to investigate things that have nothing to do with anything and probably aren’t even real?

Sounds like the America I love to me.

Do you think the glare of the light would blind liberals if they could pull their heads out of their…sand…long enough to see 3.9% unemployment, higher approval numbers than Obama had (Blue wave?); North Korea and South Korea actually talking to each other about the possibility of peace and denuclearization of their peninsula (so much more progress than Dennis Rodman made); China asking for an opportunity to negotiate a new trade agreement with the U.S. before the tariff battle escalates; Federal unemployment payments as low as they’ve been since 1973; 21 states with record low unemployment payouts; black unemployment at an all-time historical low; border security improving every day with the help of The National Guard and simple enforcement of existing laws; Kanye West, for God’s sake, singing praises of the President…

Have I lost you? Because there’s more. So much more.

Be glad you don’t have to live in a world so focused on negativity and  hate, unless you happen to be one of the handful of liberals who occasionally read my thoughts because you enjoy self flagellation.

I guess this Mueller thing isn’t exactly Civil War because there’s no actual shooting, unless you count the left wingnut who shot Rep. Scalise at softball practice or Steven Paddock in Vegas when he opened fire on a country western concert nearly setting a world record for mass killings (Sweden’s still the champ—sorry Second Amendment haters) which was a blessing in the words of an ABC executive at that time, “because only Trump supporters like country western music.”

But what do you call it when half the country is throwing such an hysterical and collective temper tantrum over the election results that they can’t accept a duly elected sitting President? When the only thing, it seems, that would make them happy is the overthrow—violently or otherwise—of the presidency and the installation of an unelected totalitarian liberal dictator with unlimited power to crush all conservative thought and agenda, in addition to the First, Second and other amendments—oh hell, make it the whole Constitution?

Sad is what I call it. Embarrassing is what I’d think any liberal with a shred of integrity would call it. But then again, I only think about it much on Sunday mornings anymore. The rest of the time the left is getting harder and harder for me to hear.

I’m just glad Russia made me vote for Trump.
