Dear
Special Counsel Mueller: I wrote to you yesterday before General Barr
released his letter on your lengthy investigation of collusion with
Russia by the president or anyone in his administration. General Barr
in his report also put forth his edict on obstruction of justice. I
wrote because I love my country and I value any person's ability to
address power.
I had high hopes yesterday of finding out that
which I had been longing to find out over the past two years. In truth,
I believe very little was answered and to the contrary the decision by
General Barr to clear the president of obstruction of justice created
more questions and wondered if you, the special counsel, so highly
regarded by all, would have ever wanted more discord between factions of
our nation to reach another fever pitch. I cannot believe that is what
you wanted nor can I believe that you would have left in Mr. Barr's
hands the very question we all knew he addressed months ago in
order to secure the job of AG. Mr. Trump knew, I allege, that Mr. Barr
would show allegiance to him and not to the greater American public
good. I wondered, too, if you knew it would be handled as such and not
be handled as it should have by Congress as it was in the Watergate
era. You cannot be pleased with this besmirchment of your professional
actions.
I implore you to clear this fog of discord and anger
on both sides each accusing the other of destructive actions flying in
the face of truth. Only the release of your report and testimony by you
can rectify our angst. My fantasy would be for you to address us
directly as others have done with other investigations. Perhaps, I am
dreaming but in our great democracy it is right and proper that one
dream to save this great Republic. Mr. Franklin said when a woman asked
what kind of government the Founders had created he said: "a Republic
if you can keep it." Keeping us in the dark with respect to this huge
investigation serves only to continue keeping us apart.
