#Non-fiction Conclusion: The Mueller Report
- I may be very quiet for a while because I’m…
- Taking a break from my reading about plays and theatre.
- I may live in Netherlands but I still keep a close eye on US politics.
- We all should read this book The Mueller Report
- …and ask ourselves…..how in heavens name did Trump
- ….become the most powerful leader of the free world.
- Is there a democrat candidate who can stop him!
- #USA election November 3 2020.
- I’ll be up all night watching the results!
Update: 04.06.2019
- Reading the introduction by the Washington Post is like
- going down memory lane! Names that have drifted off the
- TV news: Quarles, McCabe, Comey, Sessions, retired Gen Flynn.
- I finally have learned what the Steele Dossier is!
- Well, after reading how many fake
- …Twitter and FB accounts were
- created to promote Trump’s campaign
- ...I’ll never believe a tweet again!
- Finished: volume 1 very detailed back round 2015-2018
- Not a fluid read….I had to force myself to keep paying attention
Update: 05.06.2019
- Trump has monopolized the TV during his #USStateVisit to UK this week.
- Seemed the right time to start the long awaited The Mueller Report.
- Volume 1 contains many details about the
- GRU = Russian military intelligence agency
- sending spearphishing emails.
- The GRU wanted to gain access to email accounts of
- Clinton Campaign advisors and employees of the DNC (Dem Nat Convention)
- It also highlighted the role of Wikileaks during Trump’s campaign.
- Strong points vol 1:
- Book reminds me
- I should read the NEWS about POTUS more carefully.
- Trump is on a mission.
- Book makes me
- …that I should be more aware of Jared Kushner (son-in-law)
- #TheDealmaker
- He does not say much on camera
- …but he is always circling around the president.
Update: …starting volume 2 today.
- Reading pages and pages of Trump demanding that
- Comey ‘lift the cloud’ of the Russian investigation.
- Trumps insists Comey make clear
- that Trump is NOT under investigation.
- Comey refused.
- May 9 2017: Trump fires the FBI director Comey
- …but he can not fire the FBI.
- The investigation continued…..
- To quote Shakespeare:
- “The lady (…in this case Trump)
- …doth protest too much, methinks…”
Conclusion:
- Vol 2 indicates the Trump has a pattern of trying to
- influence people in his entourage when they are involved
- in criminal investigations by Congress.
- I found this quote by James Comey
- …in 01.05.2019 Opinion, New York Times
- “Accomplished people lacking inner strength
- can’t resist the compromises
- …necessary to survive this president.”
- Flynn, Cohen, Manafort….
- There are numerous tweets Trump
- sends to his loyal advisors under investigation:
- “the boss loves you”,”hang in there”
- “thanks for what you do”, ” stay strong”
- “a brave man” for refusing to “break” ( Manafort)
- But once the person decides to cooperate with the
- government (Cohen give congressional testimony 2019)
- ….he is suddenly a RAT.
- What will happen now?
- I agree with Robert Mueller:

I wonder how many people will actually read this book.
As Kafka once said: “We have to break whatever is frozen inside us. That’s what books (re: reports) are for.
It reminds me of people saying ” I didn’t vote in European Parliament Elections (25 May 2019) …it doens’t interest me.”
Now …wake up, break free and become aware of who you elect.
It will impact your life! …end of rant… 🙂
Thanks for you comment!
