"OWLS GOT THE RAT"
We learned today that when Donald Trump was first told that Robert Mueller had been appointed special counsel, he said, "This is the end of my presidency. I'm f*cked," according to the just-released, heavily redacted Mueller report. The DOJ, has until May 17,2021 to appeal the ruling to hand over the memo. The Trump probe appeared to be part of a pattern in which top officials, particularly Barr himself, were untruthful to Congress and the public about the investigation. https://www.newsandguts.com/video/federal-judge-says-barr-misled-congress-about-not-charging-trump-orders-doj-to-release-memo/?fbclid=IwAR0-IdK1ypRFsgNsZZSfFFc15V7UIxRmS9a-Vmi_DrLHJ6atuA8pqd8srew

Why? It's spelled out in the 108 pages it takes Mueller to detail all of
the Trump campaign's "links to and contacts with" the Russian government,
a hostile foreign government that was trying to undermine our democracy
and elect Trump.
For instance, Mueller documented that Donald Trump Jr. had direct
electronic communications with Wikileaks and that "by the late summer of
2016, the Trump Campaign was planning a press strategy, a communications
campaign, and messaging based on the possible release of Clinton emails by
WikiLeaks."
The Mueller report then details 11 "episodes" where Trump may have
obstructed justice, as he sought to hide his campaign's connections with
Russia, but noted that it was Congress' job to investigate and determine
consequences for these acts.
Let's be clear: Congress must do its job and immediately begin hearings on
Trump's obstruction of justice and hold Trump accountable, including
possibly through impeachment.
Trump's team, including Attorney General William Barr, have already begun
an Orwellian campaign to deceive the public and spread misinformation
about what is in the report. But this is not 1984, and we won't fall for
it.
"Even in its incomplete form," House Judiciary Committee Chair Jerry
Nadler said today, "the Mueller report outlines disturbing evidence that
President Trump engaged in obstruction of justice."4
That evidence includes repeated and blatant efforts by Trump to get White
House Counsel Don McGahn to lie about efforts to fire Robert Mueller,
multiple requests made to Jeff Sessions to "un-recuse" himself and stop
the investigation outright, messages sent to Michael Flynn's lawyers
asking for a "heads-up" about any information relating to Trump in his
trial, direct requests from Trump's lawyers that Michael Cohen lie to
Congress about Trump's involvement with Russia and Vladamir Putin, and
more.
We have always known that the corruption and criminality of the Trump
administration were unlike anything we had seen in the modern era, and the
Mueller report provides detailed, painstakingly investigated evidence
confirming that assertion.
Now, it is up to Congress, beginning with the Democratically controlled
House, to do absolutely everything in its power to respond to Mueller's
findings, to investigate Trump for obstruction of justice, and to hold him
accountable.
Flood Congress with calls demanding Democrats begin obstruction hearings
and impeachment proceedings. For months, Democrats have said that the
Mueller report must be completed before Congress can act. Now that they
have the report, they must respond to Mueller's call to action and hold
Trump accountable for his lies and obstruction of justice.
Support efforts to release the full report to the public via the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Let's be clear: What we have seen today is not the full report, and it is clear that William Barr has no plans to release the unredacted version. It is our right to see the report, and we must demand that the government abide by FOIA laws.

Trump wants us to think that the release of the report today is the end of
this story. That is why he chose William Barr to be his attorney general,
why Barr released a misleading summary of the report and held a press
conference once again mischaracterizing the report before its release, and
why Trump's allies are doing everything they can today to control the
narrative about the content of the report.
This story is far from over, and it will only be through real people-power
that we ensure that Donald Trump and his cronies are held responsible for
their corrupt, criminal actions.
Thanks for all you do.

Parchini Anthony-Eleanor DENIAL IS AS ADDICTIVE AND RE-ENFORCES THE SELF SERVING BUBBLE OF IGNORING THE INEVITABLE. Good luck and a safe landing ! -
Parchini Anthony-Eleanor While written Law is in effect, and when complex issues arise, it takes time to sort out the facts and interpretations. OBSTRUCTION is a primary factor in most crimes, that being denial, coverups, witness tampering & neutralization, destruction of evidence, diversion and lack of cooperation, to cite a few elements of deceit. Collusion is in effect the outcome of Obstruction.
-
Parchini Anthony-Eleanor Let the chips fall as they will. Any wrong doing by any one is fair game, whether any political affiliation, wealth, position, past deeds and that yet to be discovered.............Brain wash talk of complete exoneration and the like is nothing but meaningless distraction.

Parchini Anthony-Eleanor Like reading a label of ingredients, understanding the overall desired result, and knowing that in the long run, it's harmful.

"TRUMP & HIS PEANUT GALLERY" Granted, a few of his polices make sense, others not. His public speak is crude and flighty. When kept to script he is nearly authoritative, until he speaks his mind (tweets especially). Your intentional oversight of his idiosyncrasies, a analysts nightmare for sure. He has thrived with the support of those like you. FENCES, THEY KEEP YOU OUT OR KEEP YOU IN
