Good morning. Today is Maundy Thursday, the day we remember Jesus meeting with his 12 disciples in the room for a meal. This meal turned into his last meal with them, and the first communion given by our Lord…. eat this in remembrance of me. Drink from this cup in rememberance of me. So, spend part of your day thinking about this ‘gift’ we still partake in – and stop in for worship and Holy communion today.
It’s also Mueller Report day. I just watched the press conference from Attorney General Barr, prior to his releasing the report (except all the redacted parts.) It will be released to the public today too – most likely quite blacked out in parts. Do you plan to pull it up online and read it? Are you relying on your favorite ‘news’ network for hearing the results? Are you happy or sad about it all?
I have felt all along if it looks like a rat, and it smells like a rat – it’s a rat. There have been 6 or 7 Trump people already indicted and found guilty for illegal wrongdoings. I know enough about the meanness in politics to know that powerful people do things below the board. They lose sight of truth. And, they do anything for a win! So, yes, I believe the Trump campaign people, and then his administration lost sight, were scared of job security, wanted to be important, and more.
The big question is: Did Trump know? Did Trump know ahead of time? Did he approve illegal actions and behavior? Did he coverup and fire people to keep it quiet? (Is he really that smart? I question that.)
Will the Mueller Report answer all these questions? I doubt it. Trump himself never agreed to be interviewed by the Mueller independent group. Think about that. The man talks off script all the time and gets into trouble – all the time. His people clean up after him – all the time. He can’t tell the truth from lies anymore. He would shoot himself in his foot if he talked before the council. So, he didn’t.
The Mueller Report will be dissected. It will take weeks, maybe months, for all the back and forth… and will anything come of it? Again, I doubt it.
Sad. I look forward to getting through these days…and moving on. I hope America votes for an honest, intelligent, sincere, caring person next time. We need a respectful and respectable person in office again.
But, to keep my sanity, I remember that presidents come and go, and God is omnipresent. I put my faith there.
