I’m not sure if you are being intellectually dishonest, or if you really do not understand the facts of this discussion.
The SC was appointed because it was confirmed that Russia attacked our sovereignty and interfered in our election process. There was enough circumstantial evidence to warrant a full investigation into these facts, coupled with looking at whether any Americans assisted them in their attack. Part of that included investigating members of Trump’s campaign team, like Paul Manafort, who had incredibly close ties to people associated with the Putin regime. The scope of the appointment had to include looking to see if other crimes were committed in relation to the known fact of election interference. As an example, if Manafort did collude with Russia and people associated with Putin, and received financial rewards as a quid-pro-quo, Mueller would be required to investigate this angle. In doing so, he uncovered a litany of other crimes committed by Manafort.
Trying to make it seem like this is some sort of plot to take out the President is not only completely and ridiculously absurd, but it is shameful as well. As the judge stated who is overseeing one of the trials of Manafort, everything that Rosenstein did in his appointment of Mueller was completely and totally above board, procedures were followed to the letter, and the scope is exactly what it should have been.
That is the honest truth, and it is disappointing to see someone attack an American who has devoted his life to upholding our rule of law, and the very institutions he represents, based on some weird desire to defend someone as indefensible as Donald Trump of all people. A lying, sleazy, immoral, unethical, con-man turned politician. The way you, and others like you are acting, will go down in history as one of the darkest times in America, and you all will be judged harshly for the damage you are attempting to do to our nation.
