Good Riddance To Bob Mueller
Townhall.com ^ | July 27, 2019 | Kurt Schlichter

Posted on 07/27/2019 3:54:31 AM PDT by Kaslin

Is it wrong to take pleasure in the utter humiliation of Robert Mueller? If it is, then I’m sure not right. We are not going to get formal justice – if this fiasco has taught us anything, it is that – but at least we got to see some karma in action. It was Mueller Time all right and that human punchline we saw there on TV, forgetting and fumbling, is now Mueller For All Time.

Serves him right. Slink away, Bobby. Just go. You’ve done enough damage to too many individuals and to our country. Be gone.

Sure, his service as a Marine destroying damn communists in the '60s goes a long way, but then spearheading, in a figurehead sort of way, the dishonorable destruction of the lives of many, many decent Americans for the unforgivable crime of daring to work with a president our elite disdains more than balances out the good. Mueller made a choice to play along with the soft coup because, like so many other useless DC creatures, he felt that his caste had the right to countermand the will of the electorate.

So, don’t expect me to shed any tears for his tattered reputation. When all those innocent people he trashed in his quest to undo the 2016 election get their reputations back – and when they get made whole from being impoverished by the lawyer bills they were forced to incur – I’ll start caring that Robert Mueller’s legacy will be that of a doddering oaf who scratched his scattered head and wondered aloud what that newfangled “Fusion GPS” was.

Oh boy, he locked up Manafort, but not any Podestas or anyone else not associated with Trump. Dossier? What dossier?

The fix was in, except he and his band of I’m With Her prosecutors couldn’t even pull off the frame.

To the extent I was glad that the GOP inquisitors eventually eased up on him when it became obvious that he was a sad joke manipulated by the Felonia Milhous von Pantsuit donors who made up his staff, it was only because, as a trial lawyer, I know that sometimes too much righteous wrath, no matter how righteous, has the effect of generating sympathy for those who deserve none. He offered no mercy to his victims, only payoffs to those who groveled for him – Joseph Mifsud lied to him multiple times and yet he remains unindicted. Mike Flynn, after decades of military service that meant nothing to the people constantly trumpeting Mueller’s, didn’t lie (according to the FBI agents he allegedly lied to), but he got threatened into pleading out to save his son from Mueller’s pack of jackals.

That’s your Robert Mueller for you.

He’s one of our betters, you know. He is one of those DC paragons of public service, character and virtue against which our nasty, brutish and short resumes pale. He’s the protector of our sacred institutions or, more accurately, his sacred institutions. We’ve seen with crystal clarity exactly who those institutions are designed to work for, and, not surprisingly, it is people like Robert Mueller. Tell me more about the FBI’s sterling rep, please. Tell us how its dedicated leaders were concerned with protecting America from threats, not with protecting their own power and position from the threat of the citizens choosing politicians with the wrong politics. I liked it better when the worst you could say about an FBI director was that he looked a little salty in a black cocktail dress.

Of course, Jim Comey lied and gave classified info to his media allies – and its so awesome that our glorious media allies itself with powerful officials in the alleged intelligence/justice community – but we all know he will never be held accountable for it even though if we did it we’d be busy redeeming our own personal Shawshanks. Did anyone even bother asking Mueller if he thought about indicting his buddy the Looming Doofus? I don’t recall, to quote Absent Bob. Probably no one bothered because we all know the answer. The manifest, repeated and unrepentant wrongdoing of members-in-good-standing of the elite was not within his purview.

After all, accountability for the elite is never within the elite’s purview. Imagine if Trump did to the emails Mueller subpoenaed what Hillary did to hers. Why, the Grand Marshal of the Supreme Court would have been in the Oval Officer bearing handcuffs.

All his liberal fans, all the breathless fans waiting for Bob the Avenger to make the Bad Orange Man take the treason rap he deserved for doing…well, nothing. That was Mueller’s painful conclusion. Trump did none of the colluding we were promised. It nearly broke Mueller to say it – or, rather, his staff to write it since Bob was off on a park bench tossing bits of his P n’ J crusts to the local pigeons while Hillary’s ex-ambulance chasers were desperately trying to gin up something, anything to bring Trump down.

And when it became obvious to them that the whole collusion hoax was a hoax, Mueller didn’t stand up and say “Pack it in, ladies and gentleman. We can breath a sigh of relief that our president is no traitor. Phew.” No, they kept going, looking for something else, anything else, that would banish the nightmare of a non-elitist exercising the power that belongs to the elite caste.

They struggled mightily to create the notion – embraced by idiots like Ted Lieu, scamsters like Adam Schiff and loonies on Twitter who do 346-tweet threads on OBSTRUCTION! – that you could obstruct justice by covering up a crime that never happened if you fired an incompetent FBI director, as any other president could do at any time for any reason. They failed, leaving only the pathetic innuendo of the report Mueller was utterly unfamiliar with to hint at “obstruction.” In the process, they destroyed the whole idea of the presumption of innocence, but then we have learned that norms, rules and even laws only count when they protect the power of the elite, not when they prevent the elite exercising its power.

Mueller is truly the manifestation of our elite – overpraised, overconfident, and just plain over. If you are still so lacking at wokeness that you still can’t understand how we got Trump, take a look at Bob Mueller…our better Bob Mueller, our intellectual and moral superior. If he’s our best, our best isn’t good enough.

Slink away, Bob, and take your whole useless caste of failure, grifters and creeps with you.

Absolutely not. We should be partying in the streets like our team won the championship. But also have a moment of silence for all the lives he ruined during his rein. Mueller, Wiseman, Rosenstein, et al should all be wearing prison uniforms right now.

Why is this dirty cop allowed to slink away? He attempted a political coup and hurt so many lives doing so? He must be investigated.

It's too bad that we are not inclined to do these kind of things. I would love to see how that would have played out on the evening news

Rep. John Ratcliffe To Mueller: Who Said It Was Your Job To Declare Non-Exonerations?
Hotair ^ | 07/24/2019 | Ed Morrissey / FR Posted by SeekAndFind

Rep. John Ratcliffe went to the heart of an assumption made by Mueller and House Democrats DJT's "obstruction." Ratcliffe wonders where Mueller found in his job description that requiring positive exoneration of DJT from charges of committing crimes.

RRatcliffe asks Mueller to cite an example where the DOJ "determined that an investigated person was not exonerated because their innocence was not conclusively determined"

Mueller reploed: I cannot, but this is a unique situation
CBS News (@CBSNews) July 24, 2019

Ratcliffe slams Mueller for writing "about decisions that weren't reached" on obstruction of justice: "I agree with the Chairman … when he said Donald Trump is not above the law, he's not. But he damn sure shouldn't be below the law"

RATCLIFFE: Prosecutors are not there to prove innocence. Unless they find probable cause that a crime has been committed, they are supposed to close the file and not comment on the degree of exoneration they have determined. In fact, it might be accurate to say that prosecutors aren’t in the exoneration business at all, unless it’s to eliminate a suspect in a case in order to prosecute another suspect.

.......a special counsel is guided under a statute that requires a report on any prosecution or declination decisions. William Barr chose to release the report with all of this detail on the declination decisions involving obstruction.......but Mueller (or somebody) wrote it as if Trump had to be proven totally innocent.

As Ratcliffe points out, half of the report relates to non-decisions, which is entirely outside the purview of the statute. “You wrote 180 pages,” Ratcliffe points out, “on DJT's purported activities ....then claimed decisions could not be reached.” --snip---

NOTE: These are the 180 pages avaricious Democrats are clinging to......hoping to nail Trump.

That, in and of itself, should have ruined him for life, if not put him in prison.

To think that the DOJ, the US taxpayer, had to shell out $100 million for that and Mueller walked away unscathed. Disgusting.

I applaud and share Kurt Schlichter’s outrage that is so clear in this article. We need more genuine outrage about what happened instead of the stinking rot we’ve been getting from our so-called elites. I have zero confidence that anyone will be held to account for this near-coup. My hate — yes, hate — for the Democrats (communists) knows no bounds. I was never a hater, but they have taught me to hate.

I am happy that Mueller is gone and his reputation has been shattered.

I will cheer when the first deep state indictment is announced.

I will party in the street when the first conviction or plea agreement is achieved.

GOHMERT: Mueller Unmasked
By Rep. Louie Gohmert, Hannity.com

Washington, April 26, 2018
Robert Mueller’s months-long witch hunt into so-called ‘Russian collusion’ continues to spiral out of control. Despite hundreds of hours of non-stop liberal-media coverage, most Americans still know very little about the man behind the probe.

Congressman Louie Gohmert has had enough of the special counsel’s abuse of power, and he’s prepared to ‘unmask’ Mueller’s questionable history and total lack of judgment spanning decades.

In Robert Mueller: Unmasked, the GOP Representative pulls back the curtain and exposes the sordid truth surrounding the special counsel’s career.

“What I have accumulated here is absolutely shocking upon the realization that Mueller’s disreputable, twisted history speaks to the character of the man placed in a position to attempt to legalize a coup against a lawfully elected President,” writes Gohmert.

Download his bombshell report here.

we need to hold those involved responsible and investigated. If we don’t do this what is the sense of having laws and a constitution? They destroy and walk away

He attempted a political coup and hurt so many lives doing so?

Mueller did not attempt a coup. He was merely the pawn of those who attempted the coup. We still do not know for certain who is the mastermind behind the failed coup (Hillary? Obama? Soros?) and might never find out.

All the wasted taxpayer money on this fiasco should be paid back to the treasury by the PIAPS, the Kenyan Usurper and the rest of their filthy commie ilk. Then, they should be arrested, tried, convicted....and executed.

“but then we have learned that norms, rules and even laws only count when they protect the power of the elite, not when they prevent the elite exercising its power.”

Rand pegged this several decades ago:

“When you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you - When you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - You may know that your society is doomed.”
