Marching in the streets. Protesters, violence, angry sides pitted against each other by angry politicians. All fueled by an angry twenty four hour news cycle. Promises of proof of illegal activity, impeachment, humiliation, threats of consequences for interference of any sort. So everything was allowed to run it’s course. And then…

There is always an “and then” isn’t there? But I’m not ready for the “and then” yet. I remember some of those marches. Where I’m from, we call them riots. I remember the anger the losing party had toward us. I remember the hostility ginned up by the opposition party’s leaders, that fueled enough hate to have a liberal fanatic shoot up a ball field full of republicans. I remember another liberal fanatic shooting up an outside country music concert filled with what I can only assume he felt were Trump fans. I remember being afraid to wear my red MAGA hat in public for fear of having to defend my ground. Even now, it is not safe to have a Trump sticker on your car. I remember the smug actors and actresses who never missed a chance to sow discontent. But then…

But then the special council Robert Mueller report came out on Friday. Our President, who has been under attack by virtually everyone, has been cleared of any wrong doing. He called all of this, from the very beginning, a witch hunt. I called it, from the very beginning, a smoke screen. I believe with all my heart that all of this was to distract us from criminal activity surrounding the democrats during the 2016 election, and more. So while they are going to scream like the injured party, I hope the real injured party starts a new special council, to find answers to how our country was poisoned for two years by lies, and maybe, just maybe, figure out the level of corruption of the Clinton’s, and the previous administration. Without a new, unobstructed investigation, there will be no trust in anything in Washington again. We want answers now.
