Let’s not let the main message of the Mueller Report get lost in the weeds. Our country was attacked by Russia. Full stop. And, what’s just as clear, Russia will attack us again.
Yet the Repugnant Party has been and continues blocking, quite effectively, a full-bore response to that attack. It’s not just Trump, it’s McConnell and the rest of the almost entirely male, middle-aged or older and, entirely Caucasian leadership of that entirely compromised party of Putin enablers.
The Democrats can and should talk about the content of the Mueller Report, they can and should rail all day long on MSNBC, they can write op-eds, you name it, they should do it. They are, they should and I’m sure they will continue to. But most of that effort is directed at Trump and his unsavory/illegal activities. Again, that’s fine, it’s needed, no complaints.
But RUSSIA ATTACKED OUR COUNTRY and is going to do it again. AGAIN! How, oh how, can we get the media to focus on that incredibly vital fact, when Trump is running his daily version of a three-ring circus?
The best way, maybe the only way, is to have Mueller testify, in public. And we here at Daily Kos need to get this message to that great patriot, Supposedly Unbiased Bob, in whatever way we can — and to every elected Democratic official as well so they can broadcast it at every opportunity. I’m writing my congressman, I hope you do too.
Mueller is supposed to be the ultimate patriot. If he is, then he needs to explain, in clear and simple terms, the unprecedented international threat we face. I don’t care if he doesn’t want to talk in public about Trump. I don’t care if he doesn’t want to answer questions about collusion or obstruction or impeachment.
He just needs to be a real patriot and get us, as a nation, focused on the threat. And, in the process, he needs to make a strong enough case that his fellow Republicans will have no choice but to act on that threat. He needn’t worry, the Democrats will be more than willing to be bipartisan on that score.
C’mon Bob, do the right thing for God’s sake.
