Federalist Editor Takes Mueller To The Woodshed: You're Whole Operation Was A Political Hit Job https://media.townhall.com/townhall/reu/ha/2019/149/d8e7c156-de94-4b08-8532-9187c6240598.png Watch out, folks! The Federalist’s Sean Davis is dragging the beaten hypothetical corpse of Robert Mueller through. He just took the man to the woodshed in his latest piece and rightfully so. The Russia investigation is over. Special Counsel Mueller is done. He’s done talking about it. He directed us to read the report that was compiled after two years of digging and to leave him alone. Oh, and Democrats, go ahead with impeachment wink* wink*. He twisted the words of his investigation’s findings on Russian collusion; none was found. But Mueller phrased it in a way that left it open for interpretation. And if we know anything about that, impeachment-obsessed Democrats will take it, run with it, and totally go off the rails—and they have. The Mueller report exonerated the Trump White House of Russian collusion. That’s a fact. Done. This circus is over. I wish it were over, but Mueller had to rehash and pour gasoline over the obstruction allegations, which the DOJ determined didn’t have enough to bring forward formal charges.  Again, it’s over. But the Left, promising their base a fight, are going to impeach Donald Trump. It’s only a matter of time. They need to; it’s a key 2018 campaign promise. House Democrats wouldn’t be running the show in the lower chamber if they hadn’t pushed for of heavily insinuated that this would be an agenda action item. Mueller decided to fan those flames again, and now we have a brushfire over a presser that really didn’t unveil anything new. If anything, it was what Attorney General William Barr outlined prior to the redacted report being released to the public. It’s that outline that apparently reeks of a cover-up, an allegiance to Trump, and possible perjury. Even after the case has been closed, the nothing burgers keep being served. Only Democrat whose brain function has been depressed by over consuming this myth for the past two years would believe this were a rational take. Everyone else knows it's not. Mueller is now patient zero, spreading impeachment Ebola that has spread like a brush fire among congressional Democrats. Maybe this was his aim all along. Davis noted that the media glossed over key portions of the Mueller report that showed the political motivations of the investigation. The hard-core group of Democratic lawyers really, really wanted to prove Russian collusion, but couldn’t find anything, which adds more credibility to the report’s conclusions on that front. It also could explain why after this Trump-Russia collusion horse was discovered to be a myth—the investigation limped on and on for 18 months at the cost of millions of dollars. As a result, the liberal pundits, Democrats, and their minions in the media kept hanging onto hope that something would be found. And then the report was done, nothing was found, and an entire industry got a haymaker so brutal, so violent, that the lower part of its jaw was dislodged. They can’t let it go. They won’t let it go. Like penicillin-resistant syphilis, it will linger trying to slowly take down this White House for merely beating an inauthentic, lying, untrustworthy woman whose favorable numbers depreciated the longer she remained in the spotlight. Hillary sucked. Sorry, lefties, your gal just couldn’t win. And if she couldn’t do it in 2016, she was never going to win. Sean Davis  ✔  @seanmdav Sean Davis ✔  @seanmdav Replying to @seanmdav This feeling was amplified with the conclusion of this investigation and no definitive smoking gun that could torpedo this administration. As a result, Davis goes into a very lengthy piece about how the exiting presser by Mueller yesterday proved that this was a political hit job that perverted the rule of law. And he also makes a note that the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree between Mueller and his successor at the FBI, James Comey, concerning the apparent overreach in the investigations that have defined their legacies: If there were any doubts about Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s political intentions, his unprecedented press conference on Wednesday should put them all to rest. As he made abundantly clear during his doddering reading of a prepared statement that repeatedly contradicted itself, Mueller had no interest in the equal application of the rule of law. He gave the game, and his nakedly political intentions, away repeatedly throughout his statement. “It is important that the office’s written work speak for itself,” Mueller said, referring to his office’s 448-page report. Mueller’s report was released to the public by Attorney General William Barr nearly six weeks ago. The entire report, minus limited redactions required by law, has been publicly available, pored through, and dissected. Its contents have been discussed ad nauseum in print and on television. The report has been speaking for itself since April 18, when it was released. If it’s important for the work to speak for itself, then why did Mueller schedule a press conference in which he would speak for it weeks after it was released? The statement, given the venue in which it was provided, is self-refuting. Let’s start with the Mueller team’s unique take on the nature of a prosecutor’s job. The standard American view of justice, affirmed and enforced by the U.S. Constitution, is that all are presumed innocent absent conviction by a jury of a specific charge of criminal wrongdoing. That is, the natural legal state of an individual in this country is innocence. It is not a state or a nature bestowed by cops or attorneys. Innocence is not granted by unelected bureaucrats or federal prosecutors. “Every defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.” Had he stopped there, he would have been correct. But then he crafted a brand new standard. “The order appointing the special counsel authorized us to investigate actions that could obstruct the investigation. We conducted that investigation and kept the office of the acting attorney general apprised of our work,” Mueller said. “After that investigation, if we had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so.” According to Mueller and his team, charged Russians are presumed innocent. An American president, however, is presumed guilty unless and until Mueller’s team determines he is innocent.
