Mueller report

In my opinion, this is yet another circus.  It is meant for the entertainment of the public, and not for the effective governance of the same.

If there was any real attempt to resolve the underlying issues, then Assange should have been apprehended much sooner.  Evidently, these people are not really interested in that, and went chasing after phantoms.  The phantom chase will find nothing, but there will be plenty to talk about afterwards.  It isn't designed to resolve anything, but instead, it is meant to kick up a lot of dust.

They are admitting that there was no collusion.  This is tantamount to saying that there was no basis for a criminal investigation.  For, if there is no crime, there cannot be any investigation.  At least, not a legal one.  First, you must establish that there was a crime.  Then, and only then, do you investigate that crime.  Where was the crime?   The report is tantamount to an admission of a phony investigation.

The report of the report did seem to say that Mueller claimed that the stolen emails came from a specific source.  How this was proved wasn't mentioned, but I suspect that it was the Crowdstrike claim.  This would not hold up in court, as they must know.  Combine that with the refusal to go after Assange, and I am convinced that all of this is for show, and isn't a serious attempt to establish the facts.

Even now, they're not going after Assange on the basis of what the Russians were accused of doing.  Nope.  They are going after Assange on the basis of what Bradley Manning did, and the allegation that Assange somehow participated in it.  There is no connection to the DNC hacking claim.  Will these people ever ask that of Assange?  In my opinion, the answer is "no".

It's just another circus.
