Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who investigated if there was any collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign, gave a speech before he steps down from his post. Mueller said in his speech that he will not provide any further information than what was contained in his report. "Beyond what I have said here today and what is contained in our written work, I do not believe it is appropriate to speak further or comment," he said. "I would not provide information beyond what is public in any appearance before Congress," Mueller said. The Democrats, who would like to displace President Donald Trump before next year's presidential election, are more eager for Muller to testify in case they can find some excuse to start impeachment proceedings against Trump. Mueller broke rules that govern special counsel conduct wrote Rich Lowry. "He invented an extraconstitutional legal standard for his obstruction investigation and acted, at the very least, in violation of the spirit of the special counsel regulations. Mueller did not find any evidence of collusion but he was non-committal on whether Trump was guilty of obstruction of justice. "If we had had confidence that he clearly did not commit a crime we would have said so," Mueller said. Comedian Trevor Noah wondered what conclusion to draw if he received a similar answer on asking a person if he had genital herpes. Naturally, Democrats interpreted Mueller's speech as enough evidence to impeach the president. For over two years Democrats were preparing to impeach Trump because they were sure that Mueller would find conclusive evidence of collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign. They were bitterly disappointed when Mueller did not find any such evidence but Mueller wrote that Trump could have obstructed justice by wanting to fire him on several occasions. Why would it be obstruction if he was fired and replaced by someone else? Surely he is not the only person capable of acting as special counsel? Trump is incensed at, what he sees as, Democrats attempts at not letting him function and attempts to overturn the result of the 2016 election through dubious means. Attorney General William Barr has started an investigation into who started the Russia collusion rumor and why the Mueller investigation was instigated. Barr should appoint a special counsel to investigate how Britain interfered with the election in 2016. First, there was the fictitious dossier from ex-British spy Christopher Steele and then there is US citizen Stefan Halper who has been a professor at Cambridge university for years and was trying a sting operation on members of Trump campaign. British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan thought that the British were Greeks to the Romans in the US, and the Brits are very proud of Margaret Thatcher who told George HW Bush that it was "no time to go wobbly" on Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait. Trump has declassified documents relating to the Russian investigation. Hopefully we will learn how Britain is running the US.
