REMEMBERING TRUMPS DISGRACE: ARTICLES AND POSTS FROM HIS IMPEACHMENT. BREAKING DOWN THE MUELLER REPORT...EXONERATES NO ONE, ANSWERS NOTHING. PT 2.

 


United States Of America, American Flag



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.

THE ISRAEL AND HAMAS WAR: TRY TO LESSEN THE LONG TERM ADVERSE AFFECTS OF THE WAR.


Since Combat has resumed, there are two things that must be considered:

- Can there be an understanding that increasing the number of casualties among

the Civil Population does neither side any good and increases animosity that

hurts both sides in the long run?

and...

- If reducing the number of Non-Combatant Casualties is a True Goal for both sides, Perhaps:

A ceasefire could be arranged for the following- A CORRIDOR COULD BE OPENED UP TO ALLOW CIVILIANS ACCESS TO A SAFE ZONE THAT WOULD BE SET UP AND MONITORED BY THE U.N AND/OR RED CROSS THAT WOULD SERVE THE BASIC HUMANITARIAN NEEDS TO ALL NON-MILITARY INDIVIDUALS;

- MEDICAL CARE.

- FOOD AND WATER.

- HYGENIC SHELTERS.

- FREEDOM FROM THE DANGERS

ASSOCIATED WITH THE ARMED CONFLICT.

Instituting a plan like this would indicate if one or both sides is

willing to make Humanitarian Concerns a priority. 

A refusal to even consider such a solution will force One or Both Sides to justify the Strategy that

forcing Non-Combatants to remain in an area occupied by Military Forces is justified, or that such 

casualties are inevitable, and cannot be avoided or even decreased.


Senate approves hundreds of military promotions after Republican senator ends blockade of nominees. ASSOCIATED PRESS.


WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate in a single stroke Tuesday approved about 425 military promotions after Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama ended a monthslong blockade of nominations over his opposition to a Pentagon abortion policy.

Tuberville had been under pressure from members of both sides of the political aisle to end his holds as senators complained about the toll it was taking on service members and their families, and on military readiness.

President Joe Biden called the Senate’s action long overdue and said the military confirmations should never have been held up.

BLAST FROM THE PAST: MY EVALUATION. PART 1: FINAL REPORT Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol.

 


SELECTED PASSAGES FROM CHAIRMAN BENNIE G. THOMPSONS FOREWORD:

This report will provide greater detail about the multistep effort devised and driven by Donald Trump to overturn the 2020 election and block the transfer of power...we will present new findings about Trump’s pressure campaign on officials from the local level all the way up to his Vice President, orchestrated and designed solely to throw out the will of the voters and keep him in office past the end of his elected term.

 ...When his scheme to stay in power through political pressure hit roadblocks, he relentlessly pushed ahead with a parallel plan: summoning a mob to gather in Washington, DC on January 6th, promising things “will be wild!” That mob showed up. They were armed. They were angry. They believed the “Big Lie” that the election had been stolen. And when Donald Trump pointed them toward the Capitol and told them to “fight like hell,” that’s exactly what they did. Donald Trump lit that fire. But in the weeks beforehand, the kindling he ultimately ignited was amassed in plain sight.

That’s why as part of the Select Committee’s investigation, we took a hard look at whether enough was done to mitigate that risk. Our investigative teams focused on the way intelligence was gathered, shared, and assessed. We probed preparations by law enforcement agencies and security responses on the day of the attack. We followed the money, to determine who paid for a number of events in the run-up to the attack and to gain a clearer understanding of the way the former President’s campaign apparatus cashed in on the big lie...

The Select Committee’s conclusion on these matters—particularly dealing with intelligence and law enforcement—is consistent with our broader findings about the causes of January 6th. Were agencies perfect in their preparations for January 6th and their responses as the violence unfolded? Of course not. Relevant oversight committees and watchdogs should continue to find efficiencies and improvements, some of which are laid out in the Committees recommendations.

But the shortfall of communications, intelligence, and law enforcement around January 6th was much less about what they did or did not know. It was more about what they could not know. The President of the United States inciting a mob to march on the Capitol...Prior to January 6th, it was unimaginable. Whatever weaknesses existed in the policies, procedures, or institutions, they were not to blame for what happened on that day.

MY COMMENTS:

FROM THIS INFORMATION TAKEN FROM CHAIRMAN BENNIE G. THOMPSONS FOREWORD

MESSAGE ONE THING IS PERFECTLY CLEAR:


VIRTUALLY EVERY SINGLE PART OF THE UNCONSTITUTIONAL ATTEMPT TO 

THROW OUT THE RESULTS OF THE 2020 ELECTION, FROM THREATS TO POLITICAL 

PRESSURE, CULMINATING IN THE ATTEMPTED MOB TAKEOVER OF THE CAPITOL, 

WAS DESIGNED AND ORCHESTRATED BY DONALD TRUMP. 


THERE WAS NO SECRET SOCIETY OF CONSPIRATORS WHO BEGGED HIM TO "FIGHT TO 

STAY IN OFFICE." HIS ENORMOUS EGO COULD NOT UNDERSTAND THE PHRASE:


 "NO DONALD, YOU LOST. TIME TO BEHAVE LIKE A DECENT HUMAN BEING,  AND

 ARRANGE FOR A PEACEFUL TRANSFER OF POWER."


WELL, IF YOU HAVE BEEN READING THIS WEBSITE FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME, YOU 

KNOW THAT DONALD TRUMP BEHAVING LIKE A TREASONOUS SOCIOPATH HARDLY 

SUPRISED ME. REMEMBER THIS:

The following exchange occurred during a White House Press conference on Wednesday, Sept 24, 2020.

'...Pressed again to “commit to making sure that there’s a peaceful transferal of power,” Trump responded, Get rid of the ballots and...we’ll have a very peaceful—there won’t be a transfer, frankly. There will be a continuation."

He is making an accusation of FRAUD, BEFORE THE ELECTION, ON A PROCESS HE HAD ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE ON WHICH TO CONDEMN. He is obviously setting up an excuse to explain his eventual defeat, in case that scenario came true. He did the exact same thing in 2016, to explain a potential loss to Hillary Clinton. (Unluckily for us, the fix was in, and he stole the election.)

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

WELL, THIS COMMISSION DECIDED THAT TREASON BY A U.S. PRESIDENT ISN'T SOMETHING "WE HAVE TO GET OVER, FOR THE SAKE OF THE U.S." NO, IGNORING IT WOULD BE A BIGGER CRIME THAN EVEN TRUMP COMMITTED, FOR IT MEANS THAT WE DIDN'T CONSIDER IT IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO PROTECT THE FUTURE FROM THOSE WHO MIGHT TRY IT AGAIN. 

DAVID MCDONALD PUBLISHER.

I LEAVE YOU WITH THIS.
