How Important is Mueller's Testimony?

Robert Mueller is going to testify this Wednesday regarding the 448 page Mueller Report.  You may be wondering why Mueller's testimony in front of Congress is so important considering he already published his 2-part report and said clearly if he were to be called to testify that the report speaks for itself and he would not add any additional information.

So why have him come and testify?

The reason is simple.  His testimony has the ability to cut through the lies and gaslighting that have occurred since the report became public.  The Trump Administration, to include Barr, the new Attorney General who came to an individual conclusion that the Mueller Report essentially exonerated the President, have been lying regularly to make Americans think that the report contains no solid evidence against the President.

Even though there are at least 10 documented cases of Obstruction within the Mueller Report that over 1000 former Justice Department Lawyers agree would put anyone other than the sitting president in prison for a very long time, Trump and his administration claims there to be no evidence what-so-ever. 

Putting Mueller in the hot seat will allow Democratic members of Congress the ability to have Mueller clarify many parts of the report that the Trump Administration have tried to discount since the report was published. 

Having Mueller back up his findings and state the importance of the evidence will add weight to those findings and stop the Administration from being able to simply lie about the report and act as if it exonerates the President, which it in no way does. 

Mueller made it clear that he had no power to indict a sitting President, but that he had gathered and documented more than enough evidence for Congress to do their Constitutional Duty, which they should be doing right now.

It is vitally important that the right questions be asked of Mueller, and that his answers be used to properly portray the overriding importance of the evidence that exists.

This is important.  Pay attention and be involved.

Happy Monday!

Trump and the DOJ Trying to Silence Mueller...

Mueller is set to sit in front of Congress on Wednesday this week and answer questions regarding the Mueller Investigation.  The DOJ, and organization that is supposed to look out for the best interests of America but has recently decided to become Trump's personal Law Firm, has sent correspondence to Mueller about what he can and cannot answer. For instance, you have the question of the 10 documented cases of obstruction in volume 2 of the report.  Mueller made it clear that he was bound by DOJ policy and could not indict a sitting president.  One very important question the Congressional Leadership will likely ask is, "If Donald Trump wasn't the sitting President, would you have indicted him based on the amount of evidence in the report?"  That question in every respect is fair.  You are asking the head of an investigation if they would have indicted someone had an arbitrary roadblock not been in place.  I say arbitrary roadblock because the policy is...

Electoral College

I have seen a ton of talk about the Electoral College in recent months.  The majority of Americans feel that going to a Direct Popular Vote like the rest of the world is the way to go.  Those on the Right seem to be completely against abolishing the Electoral College.  The question is why? The most common argument given is that we shouldn't let voters in all the big cities decide who is in office for the entire country, and that with Direct Popular Vote, those people who live in rural communities also get a say.  When you break down that argument, you quickly find all the holes that exist within it.  Let's start by talking about one other thing that is completely unfair in our current political system.  Let's look at the Senate. In the Senate, each State elects 2 Senators to go to Congress in Washington D.C.  Sounds fair right? Let's look at the most populous states and least populous states and how many people in each state Senators repres...

Dictators are Great! and other scary as hell things.

Most people weren't very happy with President Xi Jinping of China passing legislation for the ability of the President to rule indefinitely, but Donald Trump seemed to love it.  Donald Trump said, "He's now president for life.  President for life.  No, He's great, and look, he was able to do that.  I think it's great.  Maybe we'll have to give that a show some day." In July of 2016, Trump said of Saddam Hussein about killing terrorists, "He did that so good.  They didn't read them the rights.  They didn't talk.  They were terrorists. Over."  Granted, Trump did label him a bad guy as well, but had more good than bad to say about the former Ruler of Iraq.  Trump also said in 2016 that Libya would be better off, "if Moammar Giddafi were in charge right now."  Trump said that China, when they brutally cracked down on protesters in Tiananmen Square in 1989, "shows you the power of strength,"  He was using that as an e...
