In reply to the discussion: Mueller burned us [View all]LiberalLovinLug
(14,792 posts)When Obama re-instated Bush's Republican FBI director Comey you were fine with that I assume. Reaching across the aisle in yet another hopeless attempt to show how darned post-partisan Dems can be.
Then you probably reacted with shock and horror when he threw out a false flag on the fake email scandal ten days before the election. Or did you stand by your "good" Republican still through that? Kept your faith in him, just like Mueller?
Then the story of how Comey kept notes and detailed how Trump demanded a loyalty oath from him, and refused. So Comey was fired. And was once again dusted off and put on a pedestal by a lot of Dems. Especially with him going on talk shows spilling the beans and the evil Orange turd coming after him on Twitter.
Then there's Rosenstein. He was exalted early for apponting Mueller (a Repubilcan of course) and saying he'd not interfere with the investigation, and would not stop it. The angrier and more abusive Trump got with him, the more some Dems were fooled into thinking he's also one of the "good guys", acting so professional and non-partisan.
Now Rod's back in the bad books for backing Barr's whitewash of the report. Along side reports of letters to Trump reassuring him that he'd make sure that everything turned out good for him.
No Republican is allowed anywhere NEAR a position of power anymore unless they swear an oath to the party before country, whether literally or not. And that includes protecting even the most vile disgusting excuse for a human being if he's an official and also a member of the REPUBLICAN party. From the President on down.
Its astonishing how easily some Democrats can get fooled. Riding rollercoasters up and down, up and down. Maybe because WE WANT TO BELIEVE" like The X Files, Mulder...that there is good in everyone, somewhere. Nobel ideals, but historical reality shows us that we simply cannot trust any Republican. At least now, in this highly partisan environment.
Mueller lives by Ronnies 11th commandment. He made sure that, even though there was enough circumstantial evidence, even hard evidence, he didn't totally exonerate him (he hardly could with what was gathered) but he did not "harm" another Republican either. Especially a Republican President. He handed it off to another good Republican, Barr, to finish off the job.
