Und bezüglich Mueller noch eine Fundsache:
Das war einer derjenigen, die die Lüge von Saddam Husseins Massenvernichtungswaffen stützten und so George Bush Junior zur Rechtfertigung des Irak-Krieges verhalfen.

Mueller hat also eine Glaubwürdigkeit von Null.

Setzen wir mal den Fall, dass die Zitate korrekt und korrekt interpretiert sind (was man nicht ungeprüft annehmen sollte). Er ist halt Republikaner. Zähl' doch mal die Republikaner auf, die dann eine Glaubwürdigkeit von > 0 haben.

Gleich der nächste Clip von dieser Youtube-Academy ist übrigens noch interessanter:

Former FBI agent and 9/11 whistleblower Colleen Rowley says former FBI head Robert Mueller, now appointed to investigate the Trump campaign's ties to Russia, participated in covering up the pre 9/11 role of the U.S. intelligence agencies and the Bush Administration, helped create the post 9/11 national security/surveillance state, and helped facilitate the pre-Iraq war propaganda machine

Furthermore, Deputy Director McCabe testified before the Committee in December 2017 that no surveillance warrant would have been sought from the FISC without the Steele dossier information.

Aber fragen wir doch McCabe direkt:

The highly controversial memo from Committee Chairman Devin Nunes claimed McCabe testified that "no surveillance warrant would have been sought" for a Trump campaign aide without a disputed opposition-research dossier on Trump and Russia. Not so says McCabe -- the former No. 2 official at the FBI who signed one of the applications to surveil former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser Carter Page.

"We started the investigations without the dossier. We were proceeding with the investigations before we ever received that information," McCabe told CNN as part of a wide-ranging interview. "Was the dossier material important to the package? Of course, it was. As was every fact included in that package. Was it the majority of what was in the package? Absolutely not."
https://edition.cnn.com/2018/03/16/politics/mccabe-republicans-trump-dossier/index.html

In welcher Form ist McCabes Aussage glaubwürdiger – in der von Nunes oder in der von CNN zitierten?

Geht grad durch die Medien, selbst die deutschen: McCabe wurde vorzeitig und damit ohne volle Pensionsansprüche gefeuert.

Ob Trump damit irgendwas zu tun hat? Was meinst Du? Comey, McCabe, Rosenstein, Mueller sind politisch motiviert unehrlich, dagegen sind Trump, Sessions, Nunes um objektive Aufklärung bemüht? Meinst Du das? Was die allgemeine Glaubwürdigkeit von Trump angeht: was meinst Du, ist das Audiotape der WaPo (#2182) eine Fälschung?

Mir ist klar, dass das alles rein rhetorische Fragen  sind - sofern Dir nichts dazu einfällt, nicht mal eine Ausrede. Und das ist in 95% aller Fragen so.

Fehlt nur noch Rosenstein, der letzte aus der korrupten FBI-Führungsriege, die die FISA-Warrants unterschrieben hatten. Alle anderen sind jetzt weg. Der hält sich nur noch wegen Mueller. Aber das wird auch nicht mehr lange dauern.

Diese Hoffnung hegt die, man muss schon sagen Clique, um Trump zweifellos. Von McConnell und Ryan hört man übrigens zu den ganzen Angelegenheiten in letzter Zeit gar nichts. Noch immer gilt:

Die Aktionen der Trumplinge, Mueller abzuschießen, sind natürlich tödlich ernst gemeint.
Der Ausgang ist keineswegs gewiss.

PS. Ich habe mal nachgesehen, was Trumpissimus Oleatus seinerzeit so zum Irakkrieg gemeint hat. Seine Twitterfürze gehen leider erst 2011 los, aber da war er ausgesprochen pragmatisch:

Sep 7, 2011 08:24:23 AM USA should take oil from Iraq in repayment for their liberation.
Oct 18, 2011 03:07:25 PM Iraq's government is treating us like fools. We should demand their oil.
Oct 24, 2011 12:01:39 PM We are leaving Iraq after expending a tremendous amount of blood and treasure. We should be reimbursed with oil! -- Don't give it to Iran
Oct 26, 2011 03:26:13 PM Why aren't we getting any oil from Iraq before we leave? We are leaving the country wide open for Iran. Big mistake.
Oct 27, 2011 12:31:24 PM When will our nation's sacrifices be respectfully appreciated? Iraq and Libya should reimburse us in oil.
Nov 28, 2011 01:32:44 PM Iran will soon take all of the oil in Iraq...and Iraq itself---Keep the oil.
Dec 13, 2011 03:16:22 PM Who handed Iraq over to Iran yesterday? @BarackObama. We have gotten nothing from the Iraqis-- we should have them pay us back with oil.
Dec 14, 2011 02:26:49 PM "So, if Iran is going to take over the oil, I say we take over the oil first by hammering out a cost-sharing plan with Iraq
Dec 20, 2011 09:38:29 AM Dummies left Iraq without the oil--not believable!
Dec 21, 2011 01:20:31 PM I still can't believe we didn't t take the oil from Iraq.

Reporters gathered at the White House on Friday were stunned when Chief of Staff John Kelly shared a very embarrassing story about outgoing Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.
[...]
Tillerson, Kelly told the room, was suffering from a stomach bug during a diplomatic swing through Africa, and was using a toilet when Kelly broke the news to him.

Sources were stunned that, even in an off-record setting, Kelly would say this—to a room filled with White House officials and political reporters—about Tillerson, who does not officially leave the State Department until the end of the month.

Über Cambridge Analytica

The firm had secured a $15 million investment from Robert Mercer, the wealthy Republican donor, and wooed his political adviser, Stephen K. Bannon, with the promise of tools that could identify the personalities of American voters and influence their behavior. But it did not have the data to make its new products work.

So the firm harvested private information from the Facebook profiles of more than 50 million users without their permission, according to former Cambridge employees, associates and documents, making it one of the largest data leaks in the social network's history. The breach allowed the company to exploit the private social media activity of a huge swath of the American electorate, developing techniques that underpinned its work on President Trump's campaign in 2016.

Die Entlassung von Mueller liegt in der unausweichlichen inneren Logik der Sache.

A history professor of mine once attempted to explain to our class why Adolf Hitler invaded the Soviet Union, when the virtual impossibility of a land invasion of a country as vast as Russia was already well known in 1941. The answer, he concluded, was that Hitler was put on earth to invade Russia. His loathing of Bolshevism, his twisted Darwinian mania for the acquisition of land and resources, and his fixation with his own military genius all led him to a decision that was both inevitable and impossible.

This is a good way to think about President Trump's approach toward the Robert Mueller investigation. Trump is not a Nazi or a fascist, and I am not drawing any moral parallel between the two. The similarity, rather, lies in the way an apparently irrational decision can be made logical and necessary by a certain kind of twisted internal logic that can escape outsiders.

Zum Hintergrund noch: Billy Graham, das Maschinengewehr Gottes, "Freund der Präsidenten", hatte gerade ein Staatsbegräbnis erster Klasse. Selbst Obama hatte einen Beileidstweet abgelassen. 

Franklin Graham, sein Sohn, ist ein Birther, Islam- und Homophober. Kürzlich hat er dem Papst das Recht abgesprochen, über Homosexuelle milde zu urteilen.

JUST A REMINDER ... The government shuts down Friday. Neither the House nor the Senate have passed a funding bill. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP has threatened to veto the bill if it includes money for a new tunnel between New York and New Jersey, and the right is itching for him to cut off funding for so-called sanctuary cities.

Congressional Republicans sounded alarm Sunday over President Donald Trump's increasing belligerence toward special counsel Robert Mueller, but they offered no hint about what actions they might take if Trump attempts to fire him.

Ich denke mir, sie warten einfach ab. Wenn die Hölle losbricht, dann werden sie aktiv werden und die Schmiere beenden. Wenn nur ein paar Demokraten im Fernsehen jammern, dann werden sie nichts tun.

"He doesn't write anything down," one source close to the White House told me. "He doesn't type, he dictates. 'Take this down, take this down: Trump: richest man on Earth.'?" A second source who meets regularly with the president told me that Hicks acted almost as an embodiment of the faculties the Trump lacked — like memory. "He'll be talking, and then right in the middle he'll be like, 'Hope, what was that ... thing?'?" When the name of a senator or congressman or journalist came up, Trump would prompt Hicks to provide a history of their interactions, asking, "Do we like him?" "And she fucking remembers!" (Trump has said his own memory is "one of the greatest memories of all time.")

Die Unvorhersehbarkeit hat einen schlichten Grund. Sie ist die Umbenennung einer Not in eine "Tugend".

Erinnert ein wenig an die römische Dekadenz. Die wirklich Reichen waren die Ritter (eques). Als Neureiche wollten sie gebildet wirken, weshalb sie ihre Bildung outgesourcet hatten. Sie hatten einen griechischen Sklaven dabei, der zu passender Gelegenheit das passende klassische Zitat in die Unterhaltung einzuwerfen hatte.

A former senior adviser for the Trump campaign said Monday he wouldn't advise President Trump to sit down for an interview with special counsel Robert Mueller, saying the encounter would be "fraught with peril."

"I wouldn't advise it. I hope he doesn't, but I think he looks like he wants to, and that's going to be a situation fraught with peril," Michael Caputo told CNN's "New Day."

"I think anybody sitting in front of a special prosecutor stands a chance of a process crime like unintentionally lying," Caputo said.

"Unintentionally lying? You must intend to lie, by definition," host Chris Cuomo interjected.

Es steht außer Frage, dass Trump Mueller entlassen will. Es steht eine Gesetzgebung an, die Mueller schützen soll - nur, die Republikaner werden sie nicht beschließen.

Das mag jetzt ein wenig theatralisch klingen,

When the history of the Trump era is written, it won't be kind to this President's enablers, and that applies to the passive enablers as well as the active ones.
