Mueller's report falls short of even being an opinion, much less the standard bearer

A politician's or journalist's opinion is like an asshole. It smells!

Over the years of political gaslighting we are laying witness to two of the most phenomenal and outlandish examples in history. 

The first was the obvious tin-foil-hat conspiracy theory that Russian operatives and the Trump campaign conspired behind the scenes to "steal" an election from Hillary Clinton. Not only was the claim so outlandish that it wouldn't have been believable in a political spy novel, but there was literally never any actual reason to believe it.

But there was a non-stop drum beat from the crazy gaslighters, who wanted us to believe that a fledgling campaign was able to pull of the election heist of the century. They demanded that Trump fooled every intelligence agency, every law enforcement agency, and every state and local government entity, all without leaving a single trace of evidence of criminal action. They forced us to listen to these ridiculous claims non-stop till they pretty much became strange fact to many Americans (at least of the easily fooled variety). 

But just when you think it couldn't get any worse, it almost does. Or at least the lying left is using whatever little political capital that they have left to make us believe something almost as stupid and illogical as the Russian collusion delusion. So what ridiculousness are they pushing now? 

The idea that Mueller is godlike and what he says is law. 

The reality is that Mueller turned out to be a putz. He was always a reasonably respected career official who yet carried around baggage as a guy who would bend the rules when it suited him. The idea that he was a "straight shooter" who would do everything by the book was literally based on nothing factual. It was pure gaslighting. 

This should have became obvious when he hired noted rule breaker Andrew Weissman to be his lead prosecutor. Weissman, of course, was most famous for screwing up the Enron prosecution, allowing 30 otherwise guilty people to go free after the USSC ruled that the constitutional rights of the accused were violated during the proceedings. That meant that the first and second in charge of special counsel were two of the most notorious rule breakers, both having had convictions overturned in court because of prosecutorial misconduct. 

But moving beyond the fact that the media gaslighted people into believing that these people were beyond reproach, we have the obvious actions that show otherwise.

Fact: The report written by Mueller did not follow DOJ guidelines, and it possibly violated the constitutional rights of those he mentions in the report. His refusal to "make a call" on obstruction didn't follow the original duties demanded of him when he agreed to take the appointment. The idea that Mueller felt it was his right to turn our constitutional standards on their head to declare that the President was not "exonerated" is certainly an action of someone clearly obsessed with anything but rules, regulations, and protocol. 

This was an ends justifies the means report. By all legitimate, legal, logical, and ethical standards, the report is written without any reflection on what he was asked to do, but rather driven entirely of what he wanted to accomplish. Even the way that the report was delivered was dishonest and outside of protocol. He specifically and intentionally turned in the report without redacting the areas that he was tasked by superior officers to redact. The "letter" that was written (so it could be leaked to the media) was a calculated response to the report delay. Special Counsel quite literally was asking their personal opinion summaries to be released, without the underlying information. 

When the media got wind, they whined as if they somehow believed that William Barr and the entire DOJ worked for Robert Mueller, as opposed to the reality that Robert Mueller was no more than a subordinate employee of the DOJ who answered directly to bosses Rosenstein and Barr. Meanwhile, through selective leaks to the media, members of Special Counsel whined like grade schoolers when the Attorney General condensed their findings into simple factual conclusions, because the facts didn't allow them to spin. 

Make no mistake. Every "fact" in this report exonerates the President from the claims that he and his campaign conspired with the Russian law breakers who meddled in the election. On the subject of obstruction, Mueller writes 200 pages of "I cannot make up my mind, even though that was my fucking job". He effectively argues with the former and current Head of the Office of Legal Counsel over what the OLC had to say about investigating and indicting a President, all in the name of justifying his dishonest ends justify the means report. 

Meanwhile, the media pretends that Mueller (being granted infallible popelike status) must be right about the OLC opinion, which makes anyone (including the people who run the OLC) wrong to disagree.

At the end of the day, Robert Mueller's word is no better than his longstanding reputation of being a rule breaker. His opinion on the rules of a law as a former FBI investigator and director fails to pass the sniff test when it doesn't align with career officials at the Dept of Justice.

Yet, to read your liberal newspapers, and to watch your liberal television shows, they act as if this dishonest rogue report is similar to the biblical story of Moses getting the 10 commandments straight from God. The media continues to demand that William Barr and others can actually be proven "factually wrong" because their opinion differed from what was "in the Mueller report". As if long standing DOJ standards, constitutional reasoning, and the entire rule of law all must bend to what is written in Mueller's report (or shall we say the Mueller Bible). 

Bottom line; Robert Mueller's opinion is just like an asshole. 

His report is simply what came from that opinion.
