Robert Mueller’s self-serving farewell performance yesterday was calculated to continue – even escalate – the Left’s relentless onslaught against the commander-in-chief. By insinuating that there was still a case for obstruction (Of what?? – They never say! They just repeat it like a mantra “obstruction-obstruction-obstruction”), he deliberately left a huge shadow of suspicion hanging over the Trump presidency.
Mueller’s investigation claimed – with very little actual proof by the way – that the Russians significantly interfered with the 2016 election. Whatever that interference may have been, NO evidence of the Trump campaign colluding with the Russians was found. The special counsel summarized those findings in his press conference, but then, as Alan Dershowitz accurately noted ~
He went beyond the conclusion of his report and gave a political gift to Democrats in Congress who are seeking to institute impeachment proceedings against President Trump.
Sean Davis at The Federalist agreed, and elaborated ~
As he made abundantly clear during his doddering reading of a prepared statement that repeatedly contradicted itself, Mueller had no interest in the equal application of the rule of law. He gave the game, and his nakedly political intentions, away repeatedly throughout his statement […]
Mueller claimed his report spoke for itself, then put together a completely unnecessary press conference more than a month after his report’s public release, in which he not just spoke for the report, but expounded on the new legal standards he created to govern its conclusions.
These are the actions not of an impartial and independent investigator, but of a scheming political operative. None of this is any surprise to anyone who has followed Mueller’s tenure in government. As FBI director, Mueller repeatedly misused and abused the authority granted to him by Congress […]
Nationwide bar rules governing all practicing attorneys in the United States also explicitly prohibit Mueller’s display during Wednesday’s press conference.
“The prosecutor in a criminal case shall … refrain from making extrajudicial comments that have a substantial likelihood of heightening public condemnation of the accused,” states Rule 3.8(f) of the American Bar Association’s rules of professional conduct.
By now it should be obvious to all but the most fanatical Trump opponents that this investigation was never about discovering the truth ~
(A)s special counsel to investigate Russian collusion during the 2016 campaign, Mueller promptly hired partisan Democrats to run his investigation. He tapped as investigators FBI personnel who openly discussed their hatred of Trump and his voters, as well as their plans to keep him out of office.
Concluding his remarks yesterday, Mueller arrogantly decreed that he was declining to answer any further questions on this matter. Jumping ship, he chose to hang a permanent cloud of obscurity over his lengthy and very expensive Russian collusion investigation. In his own devious way, forever “obstructing” any sort of resolution to America’s toxic partisan divide.

To me, the worst part of this Russian-Collusion debacle is the Left’s callous disregard for the good of the nation. They’re so severely infected with Trump Derangement Syndrome that the only remedy they believe will cure the malady is the total destruction of the Trump presidency. Their hatred for POTUS far outweighs their love for the country.
Partisan politics is one thing – and something we Americans have gotten used to over the last several decades. But an ongoing campaign of subterfuge, lies and deceit, with the aim of undoing a presidential election, is an acid that is slowly destroying our Republic.

Mueller’s final report on Russian interference in the 2016 election exonerated the president on charges — originating largely from baseless allegations drawn up in an infamous dossier financed by the Hillary Clinton campaign — that he or any members of his campaign collaborated with Moscow to secure his victory at the polls. Even as they strung up several Trump associates on process crimes unrelated to the investigation, Mueller and his team of Democrat prosecutors failed to find a single piece of evidence to prove the Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy.
