The Meaning of America

Friends – You could not find two men who were more opposite. Robert Mueller is a graduate of Princeton University. He is an educated man. Trump is seemingly ignorant of domestic and world affairs. Mueller served as a Marine Corps officer during the Vietnam War, receiving the Bronze Star Medal with Combat “V” for heroism and the Purple Heart Medal. Trump dodged the draft. Trump insulted John McCain for being a POW.

Mueller graduated from the University of Virginia School of Law in 1973. He then worked at a private firm in San Francisco for three years until his appointment as an assistant U.S. Attorney in the same city. Mueller worked his way up. Trump was given every opportunity, including millions from his father.

Prior to his appointment as FBI director, Mueller served as a United States Attorney, and as assistant attorney general for the Criminal Division. Mueller earned a reputation as a straight-shooter as an attorney and investigator. Trump’s career followed a different path. Trump hired mobbed-up firms to erect Trump Tower and Trump Plaza apartment building in Manhattan. Trump did business with mob bosses Anthony “Fat Tony” Salerno and Paul Castellano. Trump biographers report that “Trump’s career has benefited from a decades-long and largely successful effort to limit and deflect law enforcement investigations into his dealings with top mobsters, organized crime associates, labor fixers, corrupt union leaders and con artists…” 

Mueller is credited with transforming the FBI into one of the world’s top organizations handling counterespionage and counter-terrorism. Trump, has ties with known Russian mobsters. Trump publicly encouraged Russia, to interfere with our elections. Trump’s family members, campaign manager and numerous representatives held private meetings with Russian representatives. Trump associates then lied about their meetings with the Russians. Trump ostensibly promised to lift U.S. sanctions if Russia helped him. 

Mueller understands that with public service, comes great responsibility. Trump daily abuses his power and disgraces the Office of the Presidency. Robert Mueller is a man of honor. Trump has no honor. We must all hope that Robert Mueller can find the truth and rescue our nation from Trump’s maniacal term. God Bless Robert Mueller and God save these United States of America.
