Mueller Remarks As Delivered May 29, 2019: “If We Had Confidence That The President Clearly Did Not Commit A Crime, We Would Have Said So”; Formally Accusing Trump Of Wrongdoing Falls To Congress (i.e. Impeachment)

“if we had confidence that the President clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so. We did not, however, make a determination as to whether the President did commit a crime… the Constitution requires a process other than the criminal justice system to formally accuse a sitting President of wrongdoing…” (Special Counsel Robert Mueller, May 29, 2019)

In other words, they did not make a determination of whether Trump committed a crime, and the US Constitution requires the US Congress to impeach (indict) Trump, and not the criminal justice system.

It is best to read and listen at the same time. Link here: https://youtu.be/mb1Pb5fZoyM

Below are Mueller’s remarks as delivered, i.e. based on comparing the as prepared text with the c-span video. Exceptionally, we are not putting it in italics, so that we can use italics for some of his oral emphasis. Some of his…

Rise Up Times's avatarRise Up Times

It is politically inconvenient at this time for the screaming corporate news to remind our entire citizenry what exactly WikiLeaks has done for us. So you won’t see the following list of WikiLeaks’ accomplishments anywhere on your corporate airwaves…

Julian Assange is a dick. It’s important you understand that.

Assange and WikiLeaks revealed the American military’s war crimes, the American government’s corruption and the American corporate media’s pathetic servile flattery to the power elite. So, if you’re a member of our ruling class, you would view those as textbook examples of dickery.

In a moment I’m going to list all the ways Julian Assange changed the world by being a dick.

In an evolved and fully realized society, the oligarchy would…

Climate change is already gravely threatening American nuclear reactors

 Jon Tidon 30 May 19 Hate to say it. It is true though. Expect a nuclear accident in the United States soon.

Trump has deregulated supervision of the 97 old nuclear reactors, in America.
Sixty of the old, beat-up, reactors are in flood zones and hurricane zones. The others are so old and decrepit, that any inclement-unpredictable weather, could cause a nuclear accident.
The soil in much of the Midwestern United States, Southeastern USA, and in the Southern United States is saturated with water from flooding, this year. That is the way it is now, in May 2019.
The soil is saturated from atmospheric rivers of rain, moving in quickly and, dumping their massive loads of water. The atmospheric-river phenomenon has been going on, for more than 10 years now, in the United States.
Atmospheric rivers of rain that come put of nowhere.

Hurricanes have grown progresssively worse and more numerous, in the past 10 years .

A deadly one-two punch of spring floods and later, Tropical storms and hurricanes, is upon us again.
The combination of flooding-saturation and then serial Hurricanes, cause Mega Climate Disasters. It also increases the probability of a Nuclear Accident in these regions, where there are numerous reactors.
We saw it with Hurricane Florence in Carolina, Harvey in Texas, Maria in Florida and Puerto Rico.

Paces like Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas are saturated with water now. The water in the Atlantic and Gulf Of Mexico is hotter and higher, than it has ever been. People could not go to the beach, along much of the Gulf of Mexico on Memorial day because, the surf flooded the beaches. The beaches were flooded, from high winds and storming in the Gulf of Mexico. Similar phenomenon preceded the Horrendous Hurricane seasons, of the past few years. The surface of the Gulf is warmer than ever.
