Despite all the bleating from the right about no collusion has been shown, or innocent until proven guilty, or fake news , or whatever the exoneration, we here on DK and most of the world understand that Donald Trump is wholly owned by Vladimir Putin. We know that he is a lazy, easily led dunce who kowtows to the most dangerous and evil men on the planet. The damage is unbearable to watch.
The only “remedy, “ such as it is, is impeachment. With the GOP in solid control of the Senate, it will take powerful, public evidence to bring Donald Trump down, in the face of this seemingly overwhelming political obstacle. Two presidents have been impeached and acquitted. No one thought Nixon could fall, but when the evidence went public, even the GOP Senate crumbled. It can be done, but it’s daunting.
That burden falls to Robert Mueller III.
He is a combat Marine, former FBI director, US Attorney, the man who brought down Gotti. His cv is the most impressive an attorney could ever assemble, and if his cases and his lifelong conduct are any indication, his moral compass points true north. He’s tough, He knows right from wrong, he has seen combat, and he makes a Boy Scout look like a Hells Angel.
It’s a good thing. Think of the burden.
This pillar of rectitude is up against a bunch of supervillains right out of a comic book.
In the comics, the superhero is the only person on the planet who can Save The World. He must bring powers that no one else can marshal. Now that man exists, and his name is Robert Mueller III. Mueller is Superman, and Trump is Lex Luthor. (If Lex Luthor was just as evil but was fat and had major brain damage. But just as evil.)
Think of the burden.
Just from what we know publicly, every member of the Trump family is compromised and betraying our country while also looting it. Mueller knows more than we do. He has every written and recorded communication of a vast, worldwide network of international supervillains. He has their bank records and their tax returns. He has high ranking members of the conspiracy needing to win favor with him to shave years off their prison sentences.
So far, Mueller has lived up to the advance billing. He has not leaked a pencil shaving from his investigation, but he has dumped powerful evidence in filings that have accompanied multiple convictions and indictments. Despite the oft-stated threat that he could be fired at any time, he is making sure that such an event would not save anyone from him. He and his associates will not be outflanked by the team of circus performers opposing them.
If what we know makes us angry, think how angry he is. Jim Comey scored the worst “own goal” in political history, and it rightfully cost him his job, but for the wrong political reason. Now he and Mueller have to watch this buffoon shred their beloved bureau, insult them and their friends daily, and they have to keep everything they feel about this to themselves.
Think of the burden.
Mueller is all we have right now standing between good and evil on the planet, and whether it is six days or six months from now, he will pull the trigger. But when you strike at the king, you better not miss.
Think of the burden.
