BREAKING DOWN THE MUELLER REPORT. THE ENEMY WITHIN...?

(Remember, this re-posting of articles on the Mueller Report is in response to what former  Trump DOJ spokesperson Sarah Isgur said on ABC’s This Week on Sunday. THIS IS WHAT SHE SAID:

"The SCO was charged w investigating whether the Trump campaign criminally colluded with Russians to influence the 2016 election. They did not find sufficient evidence to bring charges—that’s exonerating. My larger point was that Trump didn’t care—hence the acts of obstruction!"

My analysis of the Mueller report continues...




Those of you who are long time readers, will recall my evaluation of the 2016 Presidential Election revealed that the Trump victory was due to Election Fraud in at least Six States. However, nothing was done to investigate the bogus numbers that handed DONALD TRUMP the White House. Why do I mention this? Read on.

You can find my articles on this subject on the WEBSITE; 
WWW.SEARCHINGFORREASON.NET



The most disturbing actions involving the RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT, AND ITS AFFILIATED
INDIVIDUALS AND GROUPS, WENT FAR BEYOND:

- Spreading False Information and Innuendo.

- Hacking into Computers to Steal Information to aid the Trump Campaign.

-  Creating Bogus Political "Groups" on Social Media that were not created
   by Americans, but Russian Agents working to ensure a Trump victory.
   etc...

While these are bad enough, the Mueller Report gives us a far more disturbing
look into RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE IN THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

As an aid to understanding the magnitude of this assault on our country, the following
definition is essential:

WHAT IS THE GRU? ( FROM THE ARTICLE: "WHAT IS RUSSIAS GRU MILITARY INTELLIGENCE AGENY?" BY GUY FAULCONBRIDGE, FOR REUTERS)



What is the GRU?
Russia’s military intelligence service is commonly known by the Russian acronym GRU, which stands for the Main Intelligence Directorate. Its name was formally changed in 2010 to the Main Directorate (or just GU) of the general staff, but its old acronym - GRU - is still more widely used.
Its published aims are the supply of military intelligence to the Russian president and government. Additional aims include ensuring Russia’s military, economic and technological security.
The GRU answers directly to the chief of the general staff, Valery Gerasimov, and the Russian defense minister, Sergei Shoigu, each of whom are thought to have access to Russia’s portable nuclear briefcase.
WITH THAT OUT OF THE WAY, HERE ARE A FEW DIRECT
QUOTES TAKEN FROM THE TEXT OF MUELLER REPORT. 

THESE QUOTES APPEAR UNDER THE HEADING:"Intrusions Targeting the Administration of U.S. Elections "
"...GRU officers also targeted individuals and entities involved in the administration of the elections. Victims included U.S. state and local entities, such as state boards of elections (SBOEs), secretaries of state, and county governments, as well as individuals who worked for those entities."

"...also targeted private technology firms responsible for manufacturing and administering election-related software and hardware, such as voter registration software and electronic polling stations."


"By at least the summer of 2016, GRU officers sought access to state and local computer networks by exploiting known software vulnerabilities on websites of state and local governmental entities."

..AND THERE ARE THOSE WHO ARGUE THAT RUSSIA IS OUR ALLY? IF THAT IS TRUE, I HATE TO SEE WHAT OUR 
ENEMIES ARE UP TO.

BREAKING DOWN THE MUELLER REPORT...EXONERATES NO ONE, ANSWERS NOTHING.

 


The introduction addresses the nature of the RUSSIAN INVOLVEMENT, AND POSSIBLE "COLLUSION" WITH THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN.

TEXT FROM 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. The investigation also identified numerous links between the Russian government and the Trump Campaign. Although the investigation established that the Russian government perceived it would benefit from a Trump presidency and worked to secure that outcome, and that the Campaign expected it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts, the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities."
END TEXT.

How can we make sense of this? At one point, the report comments about the contacts between the TRUMP CAMPAIGN, AND THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT: "The investigation also identified numerous links between the Russian government and the Trump Campaign."
Yet, at another point, it seems to exonerate the TRUMP CAMPAIGN with the following: "...the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities."

Further Down, we see the reasoning used in evaluating any CRIMINAL LIABILITY THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN MAY HAVE, INVOLVING THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENTS ACTIVITIES TO INFLUENCE THE OUTCOME OF THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. IT IS HERE THAT WE FIND OUT HOW MUCH OF A "WITCH HUNT" THIS INVESTIGATION HAS BEEN. THE TRUTH MAY SUPRISE YOU. 


TEXT FROM THE REPORT.
1) "In evaluating whether evidence about collective action of multiple individuals constituted a crime, we applied the framework of conspiracy law, not the concept of "collusion." In so doing, the Office recognized that the word "collud[ e ]" was used in communications with the Acting Attorney General confirming certain aspects of the investigation's scope and that the term has frequently been invoked in public reporting about the investigation. 2) But collusion is not a specific offense or theory of liability found in the United States Code, nor is it a term of art in federal criminal law. For those reasons, the Office's focus in analyzing questions of joint criminal liability was on conspiracy as defined in federal law. In connection with that analysis, 3) we addressed the factual question whether members of the Trump Campaign "coordinat[ ed]"-a term that appears in the appointment order-with Russian election interference activities. Like collusion,4) "coordination" does not have a settled definition in federal criminal law. We understood "coordination" to require an agreement-tacit or express- between the Trump Campaign and the Russian government on election interference. 

5) That requires more than the two parties taking actions that were informed by or responsive to the other's actions or interests. We applied the term coordination in that sense when stating in the report that the investigation did not establish that the Trump Campaign coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities." 
END TEXT.

THE NUMBERS 1-5 ABOVE CORRESPOND WITH THOSE BELOW, IN GIVING A BASIC INTERPRETATION OF THE MEANING OF THE ABOVE TEXT.

1) THE POPULAR TERM "COLLUSION" HAS NO BASIS IN LAW, THE LAW REGARDING "CONSPIRACY" WAS USED.


 2) JOINT CRIMINAL LIABILITY WAS DETERMINED BY THE FEDERAL LAW REGARDING "CONSPIRACY."


3) DETERMINED WHETHER OR NOT MEMBERS OF THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN "COORDINATED" WITH THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENTS INTERFERENCE ACTIVITIES.


4) THE OFFICE OF THE SPECIAL COUNCEL DECIDED THAT TO ACCUSE THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN OF "COORDINATING" WITH THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT, THERE WOULD HAVE TO BE AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN BOTH BODIES, "TACIT OR EXPRESS." 

5)"That requires more than the two parties taking actions that were informed by or responsive to the other's actions or interests."

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? A MEMBER OF THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN COULD HAVE ENGAGED IN "CONSPIRITORIAL CONDUCT" WITH THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT AND/OR AFFILIATED INDIVIDUALS OR GROUPS, BUT IF IT WAS NOT DONE AT THE EXPRESS ORDER OF THE CAMPAIGN ITSELF, with the approval of the Russian Government, NO CRIME WAS COMMITTED.

CUTTING THROUGH THE NOISE, HERE IS WHAT IT MEANS: THAT NO ONE IN THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN IS EXONERATED. BY THIS VERY NARROW DEFINITION, ANY INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP IN THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN COULD HAVE "CONSPIRED" WITH THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT, OR ANYONE WORKING ON BEHALF OF THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT, AND AS LONG AS THERE WAS NO EXPRESS AGREEMENT AMONG BOTH THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN AND THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT, THE FINDING WOULD BE THAT OF NO "COLLUSION" OR NO "CONSPIRACY."

THIS IS A TRAVESTY. IT LITERALLY GIVES INDIVIDUALS AND GROUPS A FREE PASS TO HAVE COMMITTED ELECTION FRAUD, AS LONG AS THE "LEADERSHIP" DID NOT FORMALLY APPROVE IT.

House votes to establish select committee to investigate January 6 attack on US Capitol.

POLITICS.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced on Thursday that Mississippi Rep. Bennie Thompson will chair the select committee, and that he will be joined on the body by GOP lawmaker Liz Cheney of Wyoming. On Wednesday, the House of Representatives voted 222-190 to establish a committee to investigate the January 6 attack on the US Capitol. Cheney and Rep. Adam Kinzinger were the only two Republicans who voted in favor of the committee. The creation of this 13-member select committee comes after the Senate blocked plans for an independent commission to investigate the January 6 insurrection in May.


ONCE AGAIN, HOUSE DEMOCRATS LEAD THE WAY. HOUSE REPUBLICANS? WHEN YOU WORK FOR PUTIN, FASCISM AND TREASON ARE OF LITTLE CONSEQUENCE. JUST BE GLAD THAT IN 1941 THE REPUBLICAN PARTY WAS NOT THE PARTY OF DICTATORS AND TOTALITARIANISM, (UNLIKE 2021),  WITH THE GOAL OF HAVING EITHER THE SWASTIKA OR HAMMER AND SICKLE FLAGS FLYING ATOP THE U.S. CAPITOL.

THREE OF A KIND.
