18. I will never throw in the towel on my country

or the Democratic Party. Are we forgetting the 2018 election LANDSLIDE already? Are we forgetting that this country elected a black man named BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA for PRESIDENT _____twice? Are we missing that the strong RED DISTRICTS in California were flipped blue? These may be the times that try our souls---but we---like Elizabeth Warren ----must persist.

On Robert Mueller ---a lot of people thought he was going to go charging into the White House with Federal Marshalls and arrest Trump.----First of all he does not have the authority. BUT----he has laid out a road map for the prosecution of Trump in a way that is a minefield that will continue to explode for several election cycles. Mueller knows that the country is pretty heavily divided and that a knee jerk impeachment will not work. HRC's position is right. A slow methodical set of hearings in Congress will expose Trump so that one by one ---or ten by ten----his support will erode. It took a long time to bring Nixon down----and there were dark moments but his own Senate urged him out.

If you read Mueller's bio ----especially the Lockerbie investigation---it will give you some insight as to what he is capable of. Mueller is right now the country's savior and the legal community knows he has launched an attack that will succeed. It is up to us to have the patience and determination that he has. Mueller is a rare person in the fact that he was both a wounded Marine line Captain and a graduate of the Army Ranger school ----a search will show that he is also a member of the Army Ranger Hall of Fame----just how do we square that with a draft-dodging phony using a bogus heel spurs deferment.

I urge you to have faith and stay the course.
