Justice Dept abandons Mueller indictments of Russian companies
Earlier this week the Justice Dept quietly announced that it was dropping the indictments that the Robert Mueller Russian collusion investigation had made against several Russian-based companies.
Though I missed reporting this when it happened because of other events, it merits comment, even a few days late.
For one thing, when Mueller announced these indictments, I read them, and concluded that they were absurd, and nothing more than a political maneuver.
Mueller’s indictment is first and foremost a political document. If you read it, it is quite obvious that its purpose was not to bring these Russians to justice, but to imply that Russia was working with Trump to get him elected, even though a careful analysis of everything the Russians did shows that this is not the case.
Why do I say this? The indictment spends numerous pages describing in incredible detail every single pro-Trump action taken by these Russians, from organizing social media campaigns to anti-Clinton protests to pro-Trump rallies, while providing only one or two very short summaries of the anti-Trump actions they took, thus giving the impression if you do not read the indictment closely that they were essentially a Trump operation.
This however is false. Not only does the indictment lack any evidence of any links between the Russians and the Trump campaign, the details indicate strongly the non-partisan nature of the Russian strategy. While prior to the election it appears they favored Trump, once he was the candidate they shifted tactics to attack both him and Clinton. The goal was not so much to get Trump elected but to cause the most negative disruption to the American election process as possible. The indictment itself admits this, though almost as an aside.
People far more expert on this subject than I, such as Andrew McCarthy at the link above, had quickly come to the same conclusion. And McCarthy had predicted two years ago that the indictment would never fly if the Russian companies challenged it in court (something Mueller’s team clearly never expected). They did challenge it, resulting in some incredibly embarrassing moments in court for these Democratic Party hacks.
I think this story is only one example of the corrupt nature of Mueller’s Russian investigation. It was a political action against a duly and legally elected president, through and through, created by those in DC who did not like the result, and wished to overturn it illegally, by any means necessary.
Or to put it bluntly, it was an attempted political coup.
People in that operation should be the ones indicted, and convicted. I wait with great pessimism whether the investigations by Trump’s attorney general will result in such indictments. They should, but I have little faith they will. In Washington DC we now have two sets of rules.The little people must obey all laws, or they will be severely punished. Those in Washington however are exempt from any prosecution, and can do as they please.
Now available in hardback and paperback as well as ebook!
From the press release: In this ground-breaking new history of early America, historian Robert Zimmerman not only exposes the lie behind The New York Times 1619 Project that falsely claims slavery is central to the history of the United States, he also provides profound lessons about the nature of human societies, lessons important for Americans today as well as for all future settlers on Mars and elsewhere in space.
Conscious Choice: The origins of slavery in America and why it matters today and for our future in outer space, is a riveting page-turning story that documents how slavery slowly became pervasive in the southern British colonies of North America, colonies founded by a people and culture that not only did not allow slavery but in every way were hostile to the practice.
Conscious Choice does more however. In telling the tragic history of the Virginia colony and the rise of slavery there, Zimmerman lays out the proper path for creating healthy societies in places like the Moon and Mars.
“Zimmerman’s ground-breaking history provides every future generation the basic framework for establishing new societies on other worlds. We would be wise to heed what he says.” —Robert Zubrin, founder of founder of the Mars Society.

The laws are like spider webs:
They catch the little bugs but the big bugs blast right through.
And just because we haven’t had enough of corruption, apparently a number of Senators sold their stock after an economic briefing and conveniently just before the market crashed.

Just watched an interview with Loeffler– she’s a disingenuous liar.

To get an indictment, you must present the judge with evidence. And yet when the Russians showed up to court the FBI was unprepared and embarrassed. Was the judge involved? We need to find out if he was an unwilling participant in the political coup. Another in a long line of FBI embarrassment.
Here are just a few of dozens of examples; (not intended for your reading unless you wish) A real head shaker…

The “Mueller” investigation (And it is obvious to all that Mueller was but a figure head and name) had not much of anything and so they were throwing what ever they could at the wall to see what stuck and made the biggest political splash in the media to bolster their fraudulent case. And in the end what did we all come to understand? These prosecutors are adversaries and will do anything that they possible can get away with, legal or not, to defeat those who oppose them.
And because they are adversaries they are not in the course of their investigations really interested in justice, they are interested in winning. And so they abuse their power and they act outside the law when then can to skew the game in their direction. I.E. General Flynn.
And here is another example of a similar, but conveniently legal, abuse of power, and it further demonstrates the two conversations that leadership partakes in Strategy Over Morality / S.O.M.

Empowered leadership exists and operates in two distinct realities. Your reality, and their reality. And it is very inconvenient when the public, totally immersed and blind, gets to see through the veil from their reality and into empowered leaderships reality. And the public naturally does not like what they see when they get these little peeks.
But there it is all the same.
Everting Mueller touched has fallen apart, and yet the true believers still believe and that somehow, Barr has covered everything up (and the Mueller team just quietly sits there and take it?)
Unbelievable. But as Winston Churchill said: “Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.”
PS. I called Loeffler a Bloomberg in skirts when she bought the Senate seat from the RINO Governor of Georgia, Brian Kemp.
To all Georgians. We need to elect Doug Collins and primary Kemp!

To whom is Loeffler married? Haven’t had a chance to look it up.
