Robert Mueller's Investigation Finds Nothing Major

While the sire of the Mueller hit-squad assault, former FBI director James Comey, declared 245 times at last Friday's House Judiciary Committee hearing that he did not recall events that occurred in the last several years, the president's official enemies confessed that the best they could do to show collusion between Russia and the Trump presidential campaign was that lawyer Michael Cohen, who had almost nothing to do with the campaign, had received a message in 2015 from someone promising "Synergy" between Russia and a Trump presidency.

Carl Bernstein, who predicted almost two years ago that the Steele dossier would bring Trump down, and announced almost a year ago that the president qualified under the 25th Amendment as mentally incompetent to serve, was nodded to approvingly by CNN's always mechanically anti-Trump Brian Stelter when Bernstein asseverated that Mueller was causing the world to "Tremble" by the gravity of his revelations.

One of the president's senior counsel, Rudolph Giuliani, said or implied months ago that the threats of the two women and the settlements, both in response to blackmail attempts that were breaches of contract, were paid by Cohen and repaid by Trump in the normal course of paying unitemized legal billings from Cohen.

What makes the Southern District's U.S. attorney leap to his feet, snarling and snapping and with dreams of publicity and political sugar plums dancing in his head in the manner of many American prosecutors, is that as part of his plea bargain, Cohen claimed that the payments to the two women were illegal campaign contributions, as they were made to spare candidate Trump embarrassment in the last phase of the 2016 election, and that Trump knew about them.

Cohen is charged, inter alia, with lying to Congress, and if every such episode in the pre-presidential lives of U.S. presidents were judged as retroactively impeachable, at least ten previous presidents would be dragged from their honored immortality and besmirched.

As long as the Democrats continue to pretend that they have a legal reason to destroy the president, the president's supporters will pursue the Democrats, led by Hillary Clinton, James Comey, his deputy FBI director Andrew McCabe, former intelligence directors James Clapper and John Brennan, and former attorney general Loretta Lynch, for what clearly seems to be lying to federal officials or Congress, and involvement in a fraudulent FISA surveillance warrant or renewal.

There is some truth to the view of Peggy Noonan and many others that even if the president hasn't committed crimes, the House of Trump has a lot of rocks and bricks in its foundation that, when lifted, reveal "Bugs and spiders." He has been traduced and defamed and wrongfully assaulted by the most venomous of the swamp creatures.
