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.
