“I am deeply proud of the work we did and of the unprecedented number of people we indicted and convicted — and in record speed. But the hard truth is that we made mistakes. We could have done more. ‘Where Law Ends’ documents the choices we made, good and bad, for all to see and judge and learn from.”
I am glad to hear those words about ‘doing more’ but they had, for quite awhile, all the resources they needed and possibly the most amassed resources for a political investigation ever. If not in manpower, in surveillance resources. And they completely froze the field from any other investigations. Which was harsh, because we had already lost a number of avenues to challenge Chump, the election fraud, emoluments, campaign fraud, influence peddling, inauguration profiteering and money laundering. And more I can’t think of. So Mueller was getting down to one of our last options, and everything went slack for almost 2 years. Many different investigative angles and methods were stalled or suspended or abandoned for lots of different reasons after Mueller’s appointment. Media coverage was purely speculative, Mueller remained absolutely silent, and of course the main culmination of all that was a bored, distracted, ill-informed public. All the things coming out about Chump up to Mueller’s appt. were driving his disapproval and flipping his early approval. After Mueller’s appt his disapproval settled into a long downward glide the rest of Mueller’s tenure.
The country spent 2 crucial years on hold waiting for that report, while Chump normalized obstruction and Rs proved there wasn’t anything they wouldn’t do for Chump…like Intel Chair Nunes stealing info and running it over to WH late at night. Allowing Chump to dismantle every guardrail in the govt…piece by piece. Republicans had 2 yrs of beating Ds over the head with taunts and the ability to act without restraint…and then after the 2018 election…avoiding any price for their lawless behavior.
Mueller’s team KNEW Chump was actively interfering on them and committing fresh offenses every day. If ANYONE knew what he was truly capable of, what would come after they refused to truly ACT, and who Bill Barr was…it was Mueller’s team. They had working knowledge of a global treason scam, where it was harder to find a clean Chump associate than a Chump foreign agent. And Mueller’s team refused to do what was required. Remember when we all were saying that they would have all these cases safeguarded, back up plans, redundancy, thumbdrives, doc dumps, farming out. Very, very little of that panned out.
