First I want to say that almost a month ago I texted Riggo that Mueller would never testify before Congress because he didn’t want to be exposed as the political hack that he is — which he gratuitously confirmed with his ridiculous performance today. Republicans have spent considerable time exposing the multiple flaws and omissions in the report and the questions they want answers to. Mueller can’t answer those questions without looking like the political hitman that he was.

Also I think the Dems, posturing to the contrary notwithstanding, don’t want him to testify either because the Republicans would surely destroy the credibility of the obstruction nonsense in the report. Now Nadler after first saying he had to testify, changed his tune to indicate that may not be necessary because Mueller said everything is in the report.

Another thing I want to comment on is a couple of questions that have arisen recently with regard to Mueller team comments and the report. First, several months ago someone I think the NYT (correction: it was Buzzfeed) said there would be more indictments or that some sealed indictments existed (I don’t remember which) and the Mueller camp came out for the first time to say that was false and people wondered why. The answer to that question is the same as the answer to the other question I heard on Rush last week. A caller asked why didn’t Mueller just say that Trump colluded or obstructed. He would have been hailed as a hero. Rush said it was a good question and he didn’t know.

The answer to both questions was immediately apparent to me. The players had changed and we now had a real Attorney General, Bill Barr, that Meuller knew was every bit his equal and wouldn’t put up with any bs. I have no doubt that if Rosenstein was still the acting AG Mueller would have found some nonsensical obstruction count but he knew Barr wouldn’t buy it and would expose it for the fraud that it was.

The last thing I want to comment on is Mueller ridiculous speech today. It’s clear why he doesn’t speak in public often. He sucks at it. And now there’s a debate about whether or not Barr lied about Mueller saying that his decisions were not affected by the DOJ position that you can’t indict a sitting president. Mueller did not contradict that. He only said he couldn’t do it, not that he would have indicted Trump but for the rule. Barr said that he asked Mueller three times if that rule affected his prosecutorial decisions and Mueller said no and he did not contradict that today although he tried to insinuate otherwise.

The interesting thing that came out of his speech was that if he truly believed that he could not indict Trump, then why the hell did he waste two years and $35 million tilting at windmills. The answer is what many on the right have been saying for a long time. Mueller was doing opposition research and developing an impeachment portfolio. He should never have been appointed and was appointed contrary to the rules. There was no crime for which there was any reasonable evidence linked to Trump. Remember there is no law prohibiting collusion with a foreign government to obtain dirt on the other side. If there was, the DNC, Clinton and a lot of folks in our intelligence community as well as DOJ and FBI and State would be in jail.

This has to be the only country in the world where the losers of an election can force a criminal investigation of the winner without control of any branch of Congress or the White House. It’s mind boggling! Hopefully Trump wins again and the Republicans grow their Senate majority and retake the House so that this nonsense can be prevented from happening ever again.
