Hmmm....where to begin. First of all, there is not a single segment or on air personality at CNN who is not obviously bias against the President and nothing they say can be taken seriously. That ship has sailed long ago. It is of no surprise then to see their attitude toward Robert Mueller as bordering on messanic worship.
Not everyone holds that opinion of Mr. Mueller. Here is a different one.

Mueller's statement, "if we had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so" is a stunning statement for someone of Mueller's standing. What Mueller is saying is "Trump is Not Not a Criminal". It goes against everything the American legal system stands for. Prosecutors do not find accused people innocent or guilty. Judges and juries do that. Prosecutors either indict or do not indict. There is no grey, wishy washy middle ground. But that is the exact ground that Mueller has taken. |
u_crank,
quotes given by Mueller are not just "an opinion about Mueller". Mueller spoke for himself, and his words were clear and devastating and speak for themselves, too. The way he formulated, shows the man'S class who even in the face of his enemy refuses to loose style and manners, different to that enemy's usual idiot behavior. I thought that already before the broadcast with Erin brunett, when I first heard what Mueller said. Burnett just made it crystal clear that even the deafest guy in the backcorner of the room could understand what Mueller said. His formulations were chosen with precision. He may not stomp his feet like Trump does, but right for that precision his strike penetrates even deeper.
Bias had little to do with it, and I do not care for claims made about the political enemy'S home broadcaster and how biased they are. Mueller spoke for himself, and his words were a broadside.The conclusion from what he said: Trump is no innocent, but it is only formal reasons preventing him getting charged by Department of Justice. The proper way to hold him accountable is that Congress now must start procedures against Trump. And that he, Mueller, thinks that Congress must udnerstand that it has no other choice.
The video I linked, is not the complete video, which i actually saw on cable TV here. I do not waqtch foreign news prgrams thtsa much anymore like I did in the past, but on that day it just happened. Brunett in the same broadcast program had a guest, some congressman, and she confrointed him with the imoplications of Mueller'S wording. The guy struggled and surimed and tried to wrerst himself out of her direct questions, but to no avail. He obviously illustrates an attotude that fully understands that Congresss by all remaining sense of the constitutional orde rmust open imperachment procedjures agaiunst Trump, but for some reasons denies reality and at no cost wants to do so.
Mueller made it quite clear thathe thinks Trump did wrong and must be held accoutnable, and that only formla reasons are why he, Mueller, or the department of Justice cannot do it. Its also clear that his senior boss, Barr, betrays the public with his way of summarizing what Mueller should have meant - but neither meant nor said.
A see a lot of integrity in Mueller's stand and style. If I compare his modest yet determined wayand comoare it to the infantile, childish feet-stomping of this illiterate spoiled child in the white house, I can just laugh about this carricature of a president. That this child nevertheless managed to kick the US into the deepest constitutional system crisis one could imagine, is not such that it rebuilds trust into it. It already began to beocme obvious with the second Bush and his childish rethoric.
In Britain, the state also is in a deep constitutional crisis. And in the EU, states work on replacing their constitutional orders voluntarily with that of the continental super state, choosing both legally valid and illegal ways for that. Seems the whole west is at a political turning poiint, a voluntary or involuntary replacement of its former state orders. The turmoil maybe is helped by Russia and China to boost their own benefits from that, but I doubt they are the only triggers. The EU states started it all by themselves and at a time already when said Russian and Chinese pressure by far was not that intense already.
