Connecting the Dots

It was active in Washington DC this week as the democrats rolled out Robert Mueller to testify on his part in the Special Investigation ordered by D.O.J. Rod Rosenstien. The hope was that Mueller would provide the smoking gun on charges of obstruction of justice clarifications by President Trump. Sadly, the Democrats were availed to No Collusion No Conspiracy, No Obstruction and No smoking gun. What was revealed was Robert Mueller was uniformed on many issues regarding the investigation and subsequent report. When questioned by democrats on obvious answers he refereed to pages in the report. When questioned by Republicans he answered with I cannot speak to that because of ongoing investigations at D.O.J. What I witnessed was a confused man wielding immense authority who did not seem familiar with his Investigation. All this rhetoric was not to discuss Russian Meddling in US Election. The real purpose was to open the doorway to impeachment of the President. Purely. political and supports nothing in Russian Influence or future election. I was disappointed the Special Counsel would not address information on the accuracy of the evidence that was the basis of the investigation. We will be forced to wait until Attorney General William Barr  concludes his report with John Durham. Then we may may find out what parts were played by Chrisopher Steele and Joesph Musfid.  The fact we need two costly investigations to validate what happened in 2016 elections is all the evidence you need to see the Dog and Pony Show Politics at work. The only aspect of the Special Counsel Investigation I learned is Bob Mueller is totally unaware his investigation omitted half of the evidence.  Moving on to Sunday I tuned into hear what the networks talking heads would reveal. Much to my surprise, The Mueller Testimony took second place to a rant from Elijah Cummings made to D.H.S. Secretary about deplorable conditions at the Border and Border Patrol in general. Specifically enraged by children who sat in their own feces. A position which is difficult to argue. Having sat in my own feces many times in my life I can attest to the odors and comfort issues at play. I suspect that if Mr Cumming were equally as honest he would be just as guilty of the embarrassment of the situation.. Again this is politics at work and Mr Cummings is just as responsible for his part in allowing these conditions to continue at the border. Enter President Trump who is equally enraged that Mr Cumming's refusal to take ownership of the legislation and funding as root causes at the border and children with dirty diapers. Trump in turn challenges Mr Cummings with similar and worse conditions in Cummings own district. Trump is immediately vilified as a racist and Cummings although guilty of the same logic gets a free pass, but just as guilty. The networks pile on ABC, NBC CBS all condemn the President as a racist. Chuck Todd should change the name of his show to Beat the President instead of Meet the Press, Chuck pounded Senator Rick Scott not on the accuracy of the Trump claim, Comparison of Baltimore Conditions to Conditions at the Border. Todd and all the other networks chose not focus on the accuracy of the claim but rather Trump's motive or why did he think such a thing, He must be racist. Remember, Mr Cummings did the exact same thing, yet he gets a pass. My questions are simple. Was Eligah Cummings assessment of conditions at the border accurate and what proof can be provided? Was President Trumps assessment of comparable or worse conditions in Cummings district accurate?  Are Poppy Diapers now more important than Russia Meddling in Elections?  If Russian Meddling were Racist would this issue become more important on Sunday Talk Shows?. How did poppy diapers become racial? This is the basis of investigative journalism. Find the truth! Jumping on the Band Wagon of unknown motives and jumping to unverifiable conclusion is just loose talk and unprofessional. Not good for rating, because nothing lights up the rating quite like Who's a Racist this week. Anyhow, this all very simple to figure out. Even Homer Simpson could get the correct answers. Oh yeah I forgot Homer is on FOX... Happy Trails Tom
