The Mueller delusion
The Week ^ | 12/19/18 | Matthew Walther

Posted on 12/23/2018 3:58:17 PM PST by Libloather

**SNIP**

Meanwhile Mueller is doing a good impersonation of a delusional power-crazed middle-school librarian. "Did you ever have a conversation with Rob and Pat in this library? Did you use your library voice? Okay, was it on a Tuesday? No, it was actually a Wednesday, and you, sir, are getting detention. Oh, what's that? You happen to know that Kev and Phil were smoking cigarettes on the loading dock back in the seventh grade? Thank you, thank you so much! No, that's all right, I can ring their employers."

If you don't recognize this as a more or less accurate description of what Mueller has so far publicly accomplished with the considerable resources at his disposal, you are being willfully, blinkeringly partisan.

Which is fine. That is the nature of politics. But let's stop pretending that this has much of anything to do with Russia's 2016 election meddling. President Trump performed worse than either Mitt Romney or John McCain among people who actually use the internet. His single best voting bloc was people who never go online — you know, elderly people, people too poor or too busy to mess around on social media.

That is not why Hillary Clinton lost. And it is certainly not why liberals are hanging on every tedious detail of Mueller's investigation. They don't see the special counsel's probe as a disinterested legal endeavor. For them Mueller is there to undermine a president they loathe.

Bonus - Hillary's lawyers get rich in the process.

Mueller is that so that there is no investigation of the perpetrators of Spygate and the continuing coup attempt against the President of the United States.

Yes, they buy time to let the crimes under the Obama administration fade.

First they screamed “Russia! Russia! Russia!”.....

Wait until he finds out “Tropic of Cancer” is overdue. Or was it “Tropic of Capricorn”?

Mueller is Bookman on steroids.

That’s like an ice cream man named “Cone”!

I’m one of those online people without TV who voted for Trump, and I’m not as young as I used to be.

Personally, I think this aspect isn't talked about quite as much as it should be.

Part of what Trump campaigned on was "Lock her up!"

And although after the election Trump almost immediately took a magnanimous attitude and indicated that he didn't feel the need to actually prosecute Hillary and her friends, the Democrats nevertheless brought out all the big legal guns and have tied Trump up in the courts for over two years. It becomes quite awkward to have lawyers pursuing Democrat malfeasance because, now, it just looks like childish payback on Trump's part.

As a purely defensive maneuver, the legal offensive against Trump has worked well for the Democrats.

Hillary is never gonna be locked up. It’s campaign rhetoric.

“Hang the Kaiser”

“Hang Jefferson Davis”

Both Davis and Wilhelm were never strung up.

Mueller will never get Trump.

If we didn’t have a 22nd amendment.

Trump would win the next 3 elections.

Mueller sounds like the name of some Nazi on “Hogans Heroes” to me frankly.

It is not delusional: It is deliberate, to cover up the crimes of him and his cronies, and to undermine Trump’s presidency.

Calling him a deranged librarian is just another kind of white-washing of the profound criminality happening before us.
