What does this mean to us?
There are charges against President Trump from the MSM and Democrats daily. There are counter charges from the right about Hillary and her campaign constantly. What is truth? Here’s what we see.
We still don’t see collusion, which is what the special prosecutor was brought on to investigate. We have neither seen nor heard of any collusion prior to the election. So Trump is in the clear right? Not necessarily.
What is now arising is “obstruction of justice”. That the President tried to subvert justice in the investigation. To us there might be something here, and is why the President’s lawyers are already saying a President cannot be charged for this.
There are two examples that have gnawed at us that told us Trump knew more than he said.
Example one:
Remember in the campaign when Trump said he was going to show evidence of Hillary’s crimes next week? He made a big deal in the speech that “on Monday” I am going to lay it out.
Well that speech was made the day after Donald Jr. agreed to meet with those Russians because they said they had dirt on Hillary. It was before the meeting, but knowledge of it was known to him. Now he never produced anything the next week and it went away.
We always wondered why he said he was going to do something and then never did. To us, he knew of this meeting and thought he was getting dirt.
Could it be a coincidence? It could, but not likely to us.
Example two:
President Obama, after the shock of Trump’s win, decided to get tough in his last month and put sanctions on the Russians, expelling many and closing offices. If you remember, Trump a few days later praised Putin for his restraint and not retaliating.
Well it turns out that was the Mike Flynn meeting with the Russia ambassador and asking them not to retaliate. Trump says he didn’t know of that. We find his tweeted words praising the non retaliatory action too coincidental coming days after Flynn’s meeting and Russia agreeing to believe that.
There may be more and the shame of all this is that there was no crime here. Only lying and denying the events happened. Why Flynn lied about that is beyond our understanding as of right now. Is Mueller going to use these and other events to charge the President with trying to obstruct justice? We think he may be headed there.
Now the other side:
The right continues to pound the crimes that they say Hillary committed. Why, they ask, is Mike Flynn indicted for lying to the FBI; didn’t Hillary lie too? How could having classified documents outside the government servers not be a crime? Others are in jail for that. What about destroying computers and phones so they could not be read? There is so much more as you the readers of this blog know.
Now the leaders of the FBI say “no”, there was no crime. That Hillary and team did much that is questionable, wrong and borders on the edge of legally, but no.
Is that believable? We know the Clinton’s are pros at walking up to the line and carefully avoiding putting their toes over, but there sure seems a lot here. Now we are hearing that the lead investigator was a Clinton supporter, and vehemently anti Trump. Did the FBI leadership tilt the investigations? That would be a major blow to this most trusted organization, but is it worth investigating?
So who investigates the investigators? Jeff Sessions must step up. So far he has failed, and offering him the role and his accepting it was a major mistake.
One More Scandal
I bet you didn’t see this on the MSM yesterday or today
Former Florida Democratic Rep. Corrine Brown was just sentenced to five years in prison and three years probation for mail, wire and tax fraud involving a sham charity.
She supported a charity that was supposed to be gathering money for scholarships for poor students but actually was going to fill her pockets and those of her associates.
