Special Counsel Robert Mueller today has indicted 13 Russian nationals for conspiring to interfere in US elections. Based in a neighborhood in St Petersburg, Russia, a sophisticated LLC with hundreds of employees and millions of dollars....er....rubles to work with sent agents to America as early as 2014 to carry out various dirty tricks, aiming to undermine our election process.
Why was this much released, with this much detail, at this time? To let the Russians know we knew? Nope. The Russians working here sent back word to HQ (which we intercepted) that "they had been discovered by the FBI and were busy covering their tracks." The Russians already knew their cover had been blown. The agents are all back in Russia now, and we're pursuing extradition "through normal channels." *Don't hold your breath*
Did Mueller release it now to back down President Trump from considering firing him? Possibly. This blows the argument that this entire Russian investigation is just a witch hunt. Mueller names names, gives dates and locations, and backs it all up with dozens of pages of details. No, this is no witch hunt.
So then, why now? Here's what my suspicious mind thinks: As Mueller has a reputation for making plea deals with second and third tier participants in order to get them to squeal on higher ups, I'm thinking he's putting this out there now to increase pressure on others he has under the spotlight. Tell me everything you know or I'll up that indictment to an even 14, or 16 or.... I think he's getting close to someone BIG.
The Deputy AG said the investigation was ongoing, and that the Americans involved were unwitting participants. If that's 100% true, if we had the bad guys and exonerated the good guys, why is the investigation still ongoing? Shouldn't it be Miller Time? Hmmm...
Que the scary music....

Is that the guy for Laugh In? Off subject, but I was wondering if homes are being built like crazy in your area. In Florida building is going on at a crazy rate and causing infrastructure problems. It appears to be another housing boom.
ReplyDeleteYes, that's Arte Johnson of Laugh In fame. And yes, the housing boom is off charts. We need 20,000 more construction workers in Dallas/Ft Worth right now. Prices are up, and congestion is bad and getting worse. Many places would love to be in our position, but I've seen these booms before, and they always end with a bust. I'm prepared this time.
DeleteThe parties involved would probably rather make a deal with Mueller than wait for Putin to arrange an "accident" for them as seems to happen quite frequently to his enemies.
ReplyDeleteI'll drink to that...and continuing the investigation no matter where it leads
ReplyDeleteSo far Russia has got exactly the political discord they wanted.
ReplyDeleteYep....probably beyond their wildest dreams!
DeleteThis is KGB (Putin) fingerprint all over it. This was in the works since 2012/13 and America was asleep at the switch. What is so disheartening is how so many Americans were duped. How gullible that they no longer have independent thinking and requisite skepticism of social media. It's called "fact check."

What scares me is if they did it once, they can do it again. Who can tell if our next election is legitimate?
ReplyDeleteShould we go back to paper ballots?
