The Assault on Trump

                                               
 By Florida Bill

                                                   The anti-Trump brigades, lead by Obama loyalists and Democrats embittered over the election of a Republican president, cannot stop throwing out balloons about Russian involvement in American activities and the recent election.  
                                  With that constant drumbeat concerning a Trump-Russian fairy tale, the Justice department has now turned those allegations over to a Special Prosecutor, Robert Mueller, for investigation and resolution.  
                                   So who does the legwork for this new detective?  The answer:  Mueller hires a staff of attorneys reporting to him along with agents of the FBI.  Factually, it is the same FBI that has been investigating the allegation of collusion for the better part of a year and which has come up empty handed.
                                  Evidence of Trump wrong doing?  None has been found by the FBI.  The chairmen of the various congressional intelligence  committees have said the same.  Gen. James Clapper, former National Director of Intelligence, has stated this on a number of occasions.  The 76-year-old Clapper is sort of the big dog when it comes to intelligence matters.  But, is anyone listening?  
                                Democrats and the far left media, which are tethered at the hip, believe that they have one-upped President Trump with the special attorney,  but I think that it really redounds to the actual benefit of President Trump and millions of supporters who recognize the outrageous bias of left wing Democrats, with their all-out assist from the press.   
                                 The naming of a Special Prosecutor was made by Ron Rosenstein, acting Attorney General for Jeff Sessions,who has recused himself from matters pertaining to Russian involvement in the 2016 presidential election. Rosenstein is a well respected career prosecutor who urged President Trump to dump Comey for his incompetent handling of the Clinton email investigation. Rosenstein knows Mueller, having worked for many years with him and under him when Mueller was FBI director during the administrations of Presidents Bush and Obama. Mueller, 72, enjoys broad respect from both Republicans and Democrats for his honesty and bipartisanship. Mueller's integrity is the primary reason that I believe that his investigation will confirm that the Russian collusion attack is simply a lot of hot air.   
                                  It has been established with relative certainty that the Russians hacked into emails flying about the offices of the Democratic National Committee during the 2016 campaign.  They revealed much of what everyone suspected--that Mrs. Clinton was an unlikeable lady;  petty, disingenuous  and untrustworthy.  They even referred to Clinton's opponent Bernie Sanders as a "doofus."  All of that was  uncovered by FBI agents, but information about any alleged "collusion" with Trump was never found during nearly a year of the gumshoe techniques of the former Director James Comey.
                                   Trump believes that Comey is dishonest and 
and that he tossed the case against Hillary Clinton, and is a "showboat" and a "grand stander," and a bit of a "nut job." I don't think that Rosenstein disagrees with that assessment.  Trump fired Comey on May 8, and has called the "collusion" investigation the "single greatest witch hunt of a politician in American history." 
                                    Another question arises following the appointment of the special investigator.  Will Mueller be examining the behavior of Mrs. Clinton as part of the entire probe?  There is plenty in that corner to keep him busy.   It appears quite clear that Mrs. Clinton engaged in criminal mishandling of emails, and corrupted the operations of the billion-dollar "Clinton Foundation," but received a pass from prosecution from James Comey, who was joined in his deception by his superior, Attorney Gen. Loretta Lynch.  Currently, Mrs. Clinton and Lynch remain the target of misconduct in pending court cases filed by Judicial Watch, a government nonpartisan watchdog organization.  In addition, Comey's apparent misconduct is under investigation by Inspector General Michael Horowitz of the Department of Justice.  
                                 The fact is that Mrs. Clinton broke the law and skated.  Others have violated similar laws--like Gen. David Petraeus who shared classified documents with a woman friend, and was prosecuted.   Of course, a few years ago, Comey came down hard on Martha Stewart and sent her to jail for supposedly lying to the FBI, but then he declined to prosecute Sandy Berger, a friend of both the President and Mrs. Clinton, after he pirated secret documents from a federal facility.
                                  If Mueller is free to examine all related matters, he can be expected to find out who among the Obama loyalists was "unmasking" private conversations of the Trump team in what has been called "incidental surveillance." We know that the former  FBI chief ignored that spying. Maybe Susan Rice, the former National Security adviser to Obama, was responsible.  Currently, she is refusing to appear before a senate intelligence committee and explain the "unmasking" surveillance.    
                                  During the 2016 presidential campaign, Trump labeled Mrs. Clinton as "Crooked Hillary'' and said repeatedly that she should be in jail. In one of the final debates, Trump pointed a finger at Clinton and promised the millions of viewers that if he was elected (which he was) he would direct his Attorney General to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate her handling of classified documents, and do the job which Comey refused to do. 
                                   I do not think that it is over yet. Trump followers are calling upon the President to keep that promise.
