Trump: The Innocent Man of Capitol Hill-Part I (The Russian Investigation That Was Not Necessary)

                                    

February 10, 2018

The Mueller Special Investigation wasn’t even necessary, and I’ll tell you why.  All Trump had to do to dispel the whole Russian collusion thing was to confront the Justice Department head-on by saying “there was and is no Trump/Russian collusion and my staff and I are willing to testify on oath to that right now!” That is, if Trump and his cronies had nothing to hide. Instead, from the beginning he has been stonewalling, lying and firing all officials blocking the removal of the Special Counsel. For someone who constantly boasts his innocence, Trump has continually acted anything but innocent.

In an earlier article entitled “Trump the Chump” I recalled that Trump “fired Acting Attorney General Sally Yates. He then followed-up with the firing of U.S. Attorney General Preet Bharara and FBI Director, James Comey. He also went after Attorney General Jeff Sessions, but that didn’t work out supposedly because Sessions’ capital on Capitol Hill exceeded Trump’s.  All of these government professionals had the potential to impact his business and/or legal interests.”

When are we all going to wake up and see the truth? This pertains especially to Trump’s Republican enablers on Capitol Hill.

In the same previous article I referred to the president as a “Pied Piper.” This man will lead us to the water and drown us all unless we all confront him and make sure he is brought to justice regarding his many alleged misdeeds. We cannot continue to allow Trump’s Capitol Hill team mates to shelter him in the name of politics. This is beyond partisan politics! It is totally about protecting and preserving our government so that we can be trusted and revered at home and abroad again.

Trump supporters will tell you that he’s a good man. They will tell you that he delivers on what he says he will deliver on. They will say that he’s a good man of basic honesty and integrity. Sure, at times, they say, he may exaggerate a little, but that’s ok-nothing major. Surprisingly, many Trump supporters don’t see him as being disrespectful of foes and others. Rather, they see him as being assertive in a positive way.  In response to Don Lemon’s question on the possibility of Trump racism, Trump told him he is not a racist.  However, when one looks at Trump’s, history, a different image emerges. Consider his condemnation of the Central Park Five, the minority youngsters who were eventually exonerated of the rape of a white woman in New York’s Central Park. Recall his saying that there were good people on both sides in Charlottesville, Va. where on one side citizens were protesting for equality while protestors on the other side were violently beating people up and shouting “Jews will not replace us.”

Non Trump supporters are not so easy to dismiss his behavior. They realize that terms like “little Marco”, “lying Ted”, “Crooked Hillary” and “sons of bitches” are not reminiscent of terms used by traditional U.S. presidential candidates or U.S. presidents in the public arena. These terms are degrading and irresponsible. But it’s not only this. Mr. Trump has alienated some of our international friends and allies.  Yet he tenderly embraces our major foe of several decades. What is the real reason why he continually refuses to invoke sanctions on Russia in direct opposition to the recommendations of his own Congress? Why does he not overtly condemn this man about his interference in the last U.S. election? Why does Trump twist himself into a pretzel rather than say something bad about this man? With Donald Trump everyone is “fair game”, except Mr. Putin. Why? Why? What is the special relationship between Mr. Putin and The Innocent Man of Capitol Hill?  All Trump had to do from the beginning was to proclaim his innocence and his total campaign’s innocence, prove it, that would have ended the whole thing! But here we are over one year later and though innocence has been proclaimed, Trump has submitted no undisputable proof of innocence whatsoever.
