Happy Father’s Day
In so many ways, I am one of those men who had the good fortune of having a great father. Like my two uncles, my dad came to the US and started all over again. Like my two uncles, he is now in heaven looking down at all of us!
My thanks to all of the fathers, uncles and grandfathers. Keep up the good work! We need fathers!
In fact, most of our society’s problems are directly related to the absence of good fathers!
Happy Fathers Day!
P.S. Let me leave you with a quote from Tony Woodlief:
“I think Father’s Day ought not to be a celebration of every man who managed to procreate, but instead a time to honor those increasingly rare men who are actually good at fathering.”
Mueller needs to shoot down The Washington Post story
If it’s 5:30 PM then it must be time for another “breaking story” based on a leak.
On Wednesday afternoon, we learned that Mr. Mueller’s probe now includes President Trump and obstruction of justice. This is from the article:
The special counsel overseeing the investigation into Russia’s role in the 2016 election is interviewing senior intelligence officials as part of a widening probe that now includes an examination of whether President Trump attempted to obstruct justice, officials said.
The move by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III to investigate Trump’s conduct marks a major turning point in the nearly year-old FBI investigation, which until recently focused on Russian meddling during the presidential campaign and on whether there was any coordination between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin. Investigators have also been looking for any evidence of possible financial crimes among Trump associates, officials said.
Of course, “unnamed officials” are the source of the story.
Mr. Mueller has to know who “leaked” this if the story is true.
After all, how many people would know something like this? It’s not like every typist in his office was aware of this information.
Mr. Mueller must denounce the leak and defend the independence of his investigation.
If false, Mr, Mueller should call out the Washington Post and say that the story is false.
How credible and independent is a special counsel whose staff “leaks” for this or that reason?
Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein should also say something about the “leak”.
Did he tell Congress the full story about Mr. Mueller’s investigation?
Otherwise, this whole investigation is a sham and won’t be accepted by half of the country.
Update: Last night, Deputy AG Rosenstein warned Americans to ‘exercise caution’ about anonymous reports.
