Just A Voice on Main Street: When It Comes to Investigations, Shouldn’t the Crime Come First?

I keep watching the so-called Russian Investigation with interest as Special Investigator Robert Mueller searches for evidence that the Trump Campaign colluded with the Russians to illegally win the 2017 Election.  As near as I can tell after pouring through lots of reports and stories over the past year, nothing has been found that corroborates any of this.  Oh, there were meetings and associations over the years, but absolutely nothing to pull it all together.  Did the Russians try to affect our election?  Absolutely, but again it does not appear that they did it with the aid or collusion of the Trump Campaign.  We keep bouncing along from Carter Page to Paul Manafort to Jared Kushner to Donald Trump Jr. and still nothing from the Investigative Committees in Congress, The FBI, or the Robert Mueller and his Democratic contributing lawyers.  So, the question begs to be asked, “What are they investigating or really trying to do?”  Hmm?  That is an intriguing question!  Let’s deconstruct this a bit, shall we, and possibly offer an alternative point of view, shall we.

When you have an investigation , there is supposed to be a crime, right?  In Watergate, for example, and the subsequent coverup, there was the break-in at the Democratic Headquarters at the Watergate Hotel.  Men were arrested and arraigned.  Some were very interesting, and the investigation led to connections to the Committee to Re-Elect Nixon, as well as to the White House, and the President himself.  The question here is, what was the crime?  To many watching, the perception is that the crime was that Her Highness, Hillary Clinton did not win the election to which she was entitled, and lost to some buffoon named Donald Trump.  There is no way that could happen, therefore he must have cheated, right?  After all, it was yet another election where the Dems won the popular vote, but lost the electoral , (even though the large popular majorities in California and New York accounted for the bulge; the other 48 states not so much.) If Hillary Clinton had won, would there be an investigation right now?  You know the answer.  It appears that this is an investigation in search of a crime, and they will keep searching until they find something, no matter how small, as long as it validates that Hillary somehow got cheated, as she has outlined in her book, “What Happened?”  So, the investigations of this President will continue throughout Donald Trump’s presidency  so as to cast a pall over anything he might do that would be positive for the country.

This is an extraordinary effort by the Status Quo to knock out the Populist Intruder onto its territory.  One would think if they had anything beyond throwing the occasional name and person against the wall to see if it sticks., that it would be out there in glaring headlines in the Mainstream Media.  Many citizens have grown weary of the leaks in this investigation, but are very aware of what the investigation and those conducting it might really be trying to do.  What is that, you ask?  Well, there are 63 million American citizens who elected Donald Trump as president, who will be none to happy if the results of the election are overthrown by some committees and Robert Mueller for light and transient causes.  In addition, this may well serve as the model, depending on what happens, for upcoming elections.  In other words, the loser will always conduct an investigation, not because they ran a bad campaign and lost, but because obviously they were cheated.  That is why the Status Quo is being careful in this witch hunt.  If this blows up in their collective faces, it could pose great electoral danger for future elections….Gary Sutton
