REMEMBERING TRUMPS DISGRACE: ARTICLES AND POSTS FROM HIS IMPEACHMENT. BREAKING DOWN THE MUELLER REPORT...ONE STEP AT A TIME. PT 1.

THE FOLLOWING IS MY PERSONAL REVIEW OF THE FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS CONTAINED WITHIN THE MUELLER REPORT. GIVEN ITS EXTENSIVE LENGTH, I WILL ATTEMPT TO BREAK IT DOWN SECTION BY SECTION. (IT'S OVER 400 PAGES.) THE ANALYSIS WILL ATTEMPT TO STICK TO THE MOST PERTINENT POINTS, ADDRESSING WHAT I FEEL TO BE THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUES IN TERMS OF A LASTING IMPACT ON OUR LEGAL SYSTEM, AND THE DANGEROUS PRECEDENTS BEING SET BY IGNORING OR DENYING CONCLUSIONS THAT CAN BE REASONABLY DEDUCED OR INFERRED FROM THE DATA.

INTRODUCTION TO VOLUME 1.

In a very telling and dramatic way, this section begins with the following Statement:

"The Russian government interfered in the 2016 presidential election in sweeping and systematic fashion..."

This is an unqualified conclusion that tells us that the RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT had an active role in attempting to influence and determine the outcome of the 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. It does not say "...could have interferred..." or "...may have interferred...", it's a direct accusation that the MUELLER REPORT MAKES, arrived at by the evidence that was uncovered.

Further on, the following is stated in the report.

"As set forth in detail in this report, the Special Counsel's investigation established that Russia interfere~ in the 2016 presidential election principally through two operations. First, a Russian entity carried out a social media campaign that favored presidential candidate Donald J. Trump and disparaged presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Second, a Russian intelligence service conducted computer-intrusion operations against entities, employees, and volunteers working on the Clinton Campaign and then released stolen documents." 

Part of what was uncovered, and prompted the FBI to begin an investigation into possible TRUMP CAMPAIGN coordination with the RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT in its activities, is the following taken from the REPORT:

"...a foreign government contacted the FBI about a May 2016 encounter with Trump Campaign foreign policy advisor George Papadopoulos. Papadopoulos had suggested to a representative of that foreign government that the Trump Campaign had received indications from the Russian government that it could assist the Campaign through the anonymous release of information damaging to Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton."

What is interesting about this revelation, because it was a major reason that the FBI began its initial 
investigation into possible ties between the RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT and the TRUMP CAMPAIGN, was the fact that it became known to the FBI from an outside source, and not from any member of the TRUMP CAMPAIGN. 

TO BE CONTINUED...

Joe Biden's stunning plan could save the planet from a climate catastrophe- 314 ACTION.

Joe Biden JUST unveiled one of the most monumental climate plans in the history of the United States:



Experts warn time is running out to act on the climate crisis.

Before we go into the details we want to hear from you: Do you support Biden’s plan to reach 100% clean electricity in the U.S. in fifteen years?

Yes!

No

Unsure

---

We want to make sure you know the details behind the Biden Climate Plan, which was dubbed:

“The single most comprehensive and ambitious climate plan ever advanced by a major presidential nominee,” by the Co-Founder of Evergreen Action.






This is the most ambitious climate plan proposed by a Democratic Presidential nominee: Do you support Biden’s Climate Plan?

Yes!

No

Unsure

The climate crisis will define the 21st century. Thank you for weighing in on this critical plan to address that crisis.

314 Action

Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms (D) listened to the experts and they agreed: THOUSANDS of lives would be saved with a mask mandate at a time when Georgia’s infection rate is skyrocketing.

Now, GOP Gov. Brian Kemp is SUING HER to reverse the order and demanding she back down immediately.

But she refuses! Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms is standing up for science and standing tall against GOP efforts to silence and intimidate her. In fact, she told Kemp: SEE YOU IN COURT!

We want to show Mayor Bottoms that we are with her: Can we get 10,000 supporters to step up and add their names to stand with Mayor Bottoms in solidarity at this crucial moment?


This is a disturbing new low: GOP Gov. Kemp is SUING ANYONE who mandates wearing face masks after his Administration was caught MANIPULATING COVID-19 data. Georgia is one of the world’s COVID-19 hotspots because of his failed leadership.

Rather than correcting course, listening to public health experts, or letting disciplined local leaders like Mayor Bottoms take initiative, his Administration is PUNISHING anyone who dares to disagree with him.

As a reminder, this is the SAME Governor who STOLE Georgia’s 2018 Gubernatorial Election by disenfranchising more than one million Georgians from voting.

Mayor Bottoms is being targeted by the GOP and attacked by the Georgia Governor. Add your name to show Mayor Bottoms that we are with her in this fight and support her leadership!

COUNT ME IN!

In solidarity,
