The Skeeter Daddle Diaries

Okay, let’s have a show of hands. How many of us have read the Mueller Report? That’s what I thought. Kind of a slog to read, I can tell you first hand. Bob Mueller isn’t going to get a nomination for the Pulitzer in non-fiction, not with the prose in those 350 pages, not exactly a page turner. How many of you have read the summaries? Okay, a little better and probably all you need to get the gist of it. Unless you’re a Republican, in which case all you read was total exoneration, you know, without the caveat that Mueller put in there (more than a few times in the book’s entirety) that if he thought Trump deserved full exoneration he would so state. This is Bob’s straight-laced way of saying the investigation sure isn’t over, but as for his role, gotta wrap it up.

Course, now we have the administration and anybody within pissing distance declaring executive privilege and refusing to cooperate, turn over documents or sit for Congressional interviews. Trump himself, asked to answer a few questions from Mueller, said sure, welcomed the opportunity, but stonewalled for over a year and then finally submitted written answers to written questions. You can read the answers for yourself. But here in capsulated nutshell is what he said, maybe save you some time: Might’ve happened but I can’t recollect. Don’t remember that, other things were pressing. No memory of that, sorry, can’t help you.

What you learn from reading the report is that Mueller was stymied all along the way. He couldn’t prove collusion, but you’ll come away thinking there was plenty of smoke. Like Bob said, Trump sure wanted to collude, but he and the other 3 stooges just weren’t up to the task. As for the obstruction of justice, well, you don’t have to be a Philadelphia lawyer to find our boy guilty guilty guilty. He makes Nixon look honest. Total exoneration? If so, I would so state.

My question to the jury, meaning, the Senators and Representatives of this fine country, is the original one here, how many read the damn report? My guess is very few Republicans bothered themselves. Time to move on, nothing to see here, nothing to read here. Investigate where Mueller left off? See no evil, hear no evil, speak none either. If I were a reporter, my first question to Senator So-and-so would be, you read it? Show of hands, gentlemen, c’mon, put em up if you read it. I bet the Russians did.
