Here is what has happened so far in Special Counsel Mueller’s collusion probe and how government has spent our $20 million. As the FBI was ignoring specific and spot-on citizens’ tips that could have stopped the Florida school shooting, it continued to chase around political campaign volunteers for not filling out their paperwork just right.
In short, President Trump is now being chased down for obstructing the investigation of a crime that never occurred. Punishment for Trump could range from one to five years in prison to being forced to get an age-appropriate haircut.
The whole thing is as confusing as a Trump family Mother’s Day at Mar-a-Lago, so let me sum it up. Special Counsel Bob Mueller’s probe’s mandate was supposed to be the Trump campaign’s collusion with Russia. Vice President Mike Pence has distanced himself from it because he doesn’t believe in man dates.

Since there was never any evidence of Trump colluding with Russia to begin with, Mueller’s yearlong investigation is morphing into anything he can find. Leaks said that Donald Trump Jr. met alone with a Russian lawyer before the election. The media was giddy for a week until they found out that nothing happened and that 11 people were in that meeting room. Now they are looking into getting Donald Jr. for fire code violations.
This whole time the Russians are laughing at us, because all they wanted to do is “sow discord.” We really took the bait. Like bin Laden did to us with 9/11, we react by spending money and giving up freedoms to Homeland Security and the TSA; we spend trillions of dollars on wars of choice. We shouldn’t flinch.
