Some observations on Mueller by Roger L. Simon

Roger L. Simon writes in PJ Media about Mueller's testimony.

...Mueller was correct in asserting his investigation wasn't a "witch hunt." It was far worse. It was part of a treasonous and/or seditious (depending on your definitions) attempt to prevent a man from winning the presidency and then, once he had done so, to sabotage and unseat him.

...As we are now learning, the involvement in this — the real conspiracy — went up to the highest reaches of the previous administration, beginning when they were still in office. And once Trump was in office, the efforts were redoubled.

No wonder the frail Mueller has a guilty conscience. As I said above, he should.

And before you accuse me over-psychologizing, just remember that a guilty conscience can lead to depression, which, it is well known, shuts down the brain. Time and illness obviously can account for a man's decline, but also circumstances. Mueller knew how his reputation was going to be destroyed. It's the old link between the mind and the body. Almost every one of us has seen this among people we know.

UPDATE: I notice that some commenters think I am excusing Mueller's execrable behavior in the past (anthrax case, etc.) by saying he has a guilty conscience. I didn't intend that in the slightest. I never bought the heroic image of Mueller. He is and was a pompous creep who ran over people. But the human mind is a complex animal. Many things happen at once. People like Mueller and Comey think they are good, which makes them all the more dangerous. In the case of Mueller, I suspect something was beginning to impinge on that--call it a guilty conscience or whatever, an uncomfortable truth-and he started to disintegrate in the tradition of the witch in the Wizard of Oz. That's what we saw today.

SOME OTHER OBSERVATIONS: Some of the Democrats, at least, probably have a degree of fear of what is obviously to come from the Durham investigation. This in great part was a reason they insisted on this ridiculous hearing, to distract. It didn't work.

AND: Another noteworthy dishonest facet of the Mueller report and his testimony is the insistence that the Russians interfered to help Trump. This exhibits a (deliberate?) lack of knowledge on how Russian/Soviet disinfo operates. They aim to confuse, not to favor. Indeed, conveniently left out of the report and Wednesday's testimony was Rosenstein's saying precisely that when he announced the indictment of the Russian hackers. He emphasized they intended to create dissension, not choose one candidate over the other. They clearly succeeded in their true intention and then some, thanks to the like of Adam Schiff. Moreover, why would the Russians even have thought they could get Trump elected? That would have been a waste of time to any competent KGB/FSB officer. They read the same polls we did.
