In a statement to Newsweek, the group’s executive director, Sarah Longwell, said “It’s clear from the report today that there’s a lot of political interference that was attempted [by Trump]. This is not the end of the Mueller investigation, this is just the beginning. It looks like the Mueller report really is a road map for Congress. And that there was no exoneration, definitely obstruction.”
The group was started in 2017 when Trump threatened to fire Robert Mueller. It claims to be a group of life-long Republicans “dedicated to defending the institutions of our republic and upholding the rule of law.”
The ad, the group says, is intended to motivate Republican lawmakers to finally begin speaking out against Trump’s lawlessness. When Republicans begin calling for the rule of law against Trump’s assault on our republic, Hell has truly froze over.
You’ll recall that way back in 2017 when Trump fired James Comey, Sarah Sanders, White House Liar, stood at the briefing room podium and told the American people that the FBI under Comey had been in turmoil and that “countless FBI agents” had called and told the White House how unhappy they were under Comey. She later admitted that her statement “wasn’t based on anything”. In other words, she stood in the White House briefing room and knowingly lied to the American people to protect Trump.
Pages 1 & 2 of Volume II of the Mueller report tells it all. In those pages, Mueller talks about the DOJ’s policy that a sitting president cannot be indicted. Mueller is very careful to explain that he’s not recommending indictment because Trump’s not guilty (he most certainly is); he’s not recommending indictment because DOJ CAN’T indict, and due to that fact, a public assertion of guilt cannot be defended in court because there cannot be an indictment. He even goes so far to say that even a sealed indictment is not practical due to the danger of leaking of that indictment.
So, it’s clear that Trump is guilty of obstruction; it’s also clear that to protect his civil rights, Mueller has declined to recommend indictment and has tossed the responsibility to the Congress (which won’t do anything, of course).
Page 290 – “According to notes written by Hunt, when Sessions told the President that a Special Counsel had been appointed, the President slumped back in his chair and said, ‘Oh my God. This is terrible. This is the end of my Presidency. I’m fucked.'”

My name is Susan DuQuesnay Bankston. I live in Richmond, Texas, in the heart of Tom DeLay's old district. It's nuttier than squirrel poop here.
I am honored and privileged to know Miss Juanita Jean Herownself, hairdresser extraordinary and political maven. Since she does not have time to fiddle with this internet stuff, I type her website for her and you can read it if you want to. If you don't, she truly does not give a big bear's butt.
A lot of what I post here has to do with local politics, but you probably have the same folks in your local government.
This ain't a blog. Blogs are way too trendy for me. This is a professional political organization.
