The Mueller Report 4-3-2019

3, April 2019                          The Mueller Report

While the Mueller Report might have temporarily faded from the public consciousness, Democratic lawmakers are demanding release of the full un-redacted report.

It is absurd to dismiss the numerous contacts that the Trump family had with the Russians so easily. It seems unlikely that they acted independently of President Trump. His open invitation to the Russians to hack into Clinton’s private emails was surely an open invitation for Russian meddling.

Why did Jared Kushner establish a back channel to communicate secretly with the Russians at the Russian Embassy to escape scrutiny by the F.B.I? Why did Eric Jnr express such excitement when he was told the Russians had “dirt” on Hillary Clinton instead of calling the FBI?

Why did Trump’s former national security advisor attempt to gut U.S. sanctions on Russia?

Why did President Trump accept Vladimir Putin’s denials that Russia had not meddled in the 2016 election in defiance of his intelligence agencies? Why did he exhibit such warmth and affection for the wily Russian leader and why did he destroy the interpreter’s translation transcripts of his meeting with Putin. Why did he dismiss his staff during his private meeting with Putin?

It hard to understand how the guilt-ridden Republicans continue to follow their leader when there is a high probability that Trump and members of his family may have committed treason. There is little doubt that Russia will grow even bolder in its efforts to destabilize western democracies, including the United States.
