Robert Mueller, an honorable public servant, has died. The usual comments and responses will now come.
Trump metaphorically pissing on his grave is understandable. Some of the comments? Understandable but depressing.
People had some fantasy vision of "Mueller Time," regarding a Sessions Justice Department (Trump 1.0) appointment, who was acting within the limits of that role. This includes not indicting sitting presidents.
[Trump was very concerned behind the scenes that the investigation would screw him over. It would end his presidency! The crybaby eventually realized how much the system was stacked in his favor.]
OTOH, can you imagine someone like him being appointed now and Pam Bondi recusing herself?
He still offered a "roadmap" of sorts. He didn't have to do so. It was the responsibility of others, not taken, to carry things through. This includes a report that provided repeated evidence of wrongdoing, including the Trump campaign (family members like Kushner, too) engaging with Russian agents.
These actions were consistent with President Trump’s previous invitations of foreign interference in United States elections.
Impeachment managers repeatedly warned us about what Trump would do if you didn't stop him. People have this fantasy image of "daddy" saving us, when they are not sneering at the idea of relying on them.
Mueller honorably served, including leading an investigation akin to that of Jack Smith. Smith, to be clear, investigated a former president. He had more discretion to prosecute, as well as having more serious crimes to use to do so.
OTOH, when Trump was re-elected, to the shame of "We the People," Jack Smith knew the game was up.
The video is when celebrities reenacted the Mueller Report. Powerful stuff. RIP and don't join with Trump pissing on his grave. Thanks.
