Expectations for Mueller's Testimony

Many people are looking forward to this week’s testimony from Robert Mueller III. Some suggest that anything less than a fire breathing indictment of DJT and the GOP will be a failure on his part. I disagree. If we can’t find a way out of the bind we’re in then it’s not one man’s failure, it’s the failure of our system of government.

I returned to electoral politics after a stint in the very far left. Very far, way outside of most folks experience. I came to believe that changes to our government, society, and culture could be accomplished with the framework provided by our constitution and the laws that descend from it. Robert Mueller is an exemplar of the kind of a person who should make the system work. He did his job as required by a belief that the system works. If he was wrong I’m worried.

I’ve long since ditched my revolutionary wardrobe; both physically and intellectually. I don’t think I’d pick it back up again. (For one thing, I’m just to old. 😁

Still, I’m worried.
