Since he first stated that yesterday I have read dozens of people say how courageous he is being by doing so. It boggles the mind that truth telling in the republican party is now considered an act of bravery. Unlike most of his colleagues, Congressman Amash took the time to read the Mueller report and he laid out all of his reasons for reaching the conclusions that he did. It should be required reading for all of them in DC who are doing the people's business.
Democrats in leadership positions need to get their act together. Stop with the carefully worded letters, stop with their stupid fuckin' stern expressions, stop bringing a feather duster to a gunfight. Stop with it all and DO something. Take off the kid gloves and take some fuckin' action.
It is not truth telling or courageous and it is silly saying so.
Heads up in case no one got the memo Trump-bashing is actually establishment. That is what all mainstream do. that is SAFE to do. If you do that you will NOT be banned or deplatformed or beaten or vandalised or unpersoned.
Try supporting Trump. Try being his Administration. Try being a vocal supporter on social media. Try being a supporter at a rally or march or protest. All of that takes courage.
Yes that is right, you are just repeating another talking point that is not your own that you have not thought too hard about.
The fact that Amash has said this does not magically convert his words into truth. Amash, like Romney and like McCain, and like Burr, and like so many others in the GOP are anti-Trump. This is not the first time he has said something or done something to undermine Trump and it will not be the last. It is not because it is true but because he is anti-Trump.
Mueller was supposed to reach conclusions. That is why the fuck he was hired. There was not enough there to do so and he chose not to in respect to Obstruction and he chose to in respect to Collusion (which he said there was no collusion). So the fact that he did not do his job and left it for Barr to do it means he has no place trying to change Barr's mind after the report.
But seriously we KNOW what happened. We are not stupid. We KNOW that he had fuck all "evidence" and that it was not something he felt comfortable proclaiming that it was enough to warrant any kind of crime BUT if he did not pass judgement on it then he was off-the-hook. Why? Because if he laid it out there and did not decide one way or another, it is like saying "make of that what you will, with a knowing wink" it suggest without committing you. That way if it goes to the Supreme Court and they laugh at the "evidence" he gets to say "I never said it was enough to warrant a criminal conviction". If Barr decides to take things further, it is on Barr and he can say "Hey I was just providing evidence". If Barr says "There is fuck all here that we could reasonably do anything with. This pretty much exonerates the President", He can be join in the angry masses without them being angry with him. He keeps his integrity despite not finding anything worth a damn and spending 3 years and $30 million and not doing his job and giving the recommendations as was his job.
Mueller is a fuckwit.
