Trump: The Innocent Man of Capitol Hill-Part VI-(Guilty!)

There seems to be no reasonable basis on which Trump can claim innocence of all of the matters we know to be under consideration by Mueller’s all-encompassing Russia Investigation.  As I said before, in my article entitled:  The Innocent Man of Capitol Hill: Part-I (The Russian Investigation That Was Not Necessary), “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 under 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.”

Mr. Trump’s lying, ducking, and dodging has not ceased. Instead of sitting before Mueller and steadfastly proclaiming his innocence, he is trying to smear the image of Mueller, the Department of Justice, and all other authorities committed to finding the truth, and possibly bringing charges against him. This shows you something. It shows that a key person looked at as a subject of the Mueller investigation “cannot prove his innocence”-because his innocence does not exist! His only recourse, as he apparently sees it, is to besmirch the images of the authorities doing the investigation and plant doubt in the public’s mind about the integrity of the investigation. As an example, right now, Trump’s defense against Stormy Daniels’ 130 thousand dollar payment (which possibly involves an illegal campaign finance contribution issue) is not currently being handled as a legal matter by Mr. Trump’s attorney, Rudy Giuliani; rather it is being pursued through the media as a public relations endeavor. Why? Obviously because the Trump people have determined that this case, and other cases under consideration By Mr. Mueller, are simply unwinnable, because Trump is not innocent!  As citizens observing this scenario, we can readily see that Trump is very culpable now.  His back is “against the wall”. That is why his team’s approach to the Mueller legal onslaught is to constantly try to undermine the integrity of the special counsel, the DOJ, and the intelligence community, which includes the FBI. Trump is willing to denigrate and cast doubt on these highly-regarded institutions in an effort to try to save himself from whatever serious infractions Mr. Mueller might find concerning him. Whatever legal issues he is likely to face by challenging Mr. Mueller (and the afore-mentioned institutions) will probably pale in comparison to what he knows the special counsel might uncover. Trump says he is fighting the powers-that-be seeking justice for himself, when all he has to do is let the investigation continue until the clock runs out. As an innocent man, he will then find his cherished justice when he is fully exonerated. That’s the way the system plays out for innocent citizens. If nothing is there, nothing can be found! So why fight the system?

Many people on Capitol Hill believe that Trump will not fire Mueller or Rosenstein because it will be a political disaster. However, should it appear that the investigation is proceeding to engulf his family or him as actual targets-then, based on his history, he will probably fire one, or both of these officials. Why? Because with him (or his family) at immediate legal risk, he is likely to reason that the inevitability of them being prosecuted, would be more grave than any possible fallout from the firings.

Given what we know about Mr. Trump’s assertive and “pushy” personality, if he was innocent, he would have demanded to sit down with the special counsel from “Jump Street”. Then he would have interviewed with Mueller, proved his innocence, and bragged about it publicly.  After that, he would have likely turned around and fired all the officials responsible for their so-called “witch hunt”. Again, that’s if he was innocent.

Let’s face it, Trump’s claims of innocence as it relates to the Mueller Investigation, does not pass the “smell-test”.

As we go forward, Trump and his minions will continue to impugn the integrity of the investigators. Apparently, they view this as the only reasonable alternative in their efforts to protect a guilty man from imminent prosecution. So let’s not buy into this Innocent Man of Capitol Hill facade as perpetrated by Trump and his water-carrying puppets like Devin Nunes, Sarah Sanders, and Shawn Hannity. Trump is “as guilty as they come”, and most of us know it! Therefore, I say, on with the investigation! On with the prosecution! No citizen of America is above the law!
