An Open Letter to Mueller
Blu is holding a Pan and a Pen
Good Morning, Breakfastpoppers. Today is Tuesday, April 2, 2018. Our friend, Butterfly Blu, is at the stove multi-tasking. He is whipping up Baked Cinnamon French Toast with one hand, and writing to Special Counsel Robert Mueller with the other. Blu has extended an invitation to all the Poppers this morning. Please join him for breakfast and listen to his thoughts about Mueller and his ongoing investigation of anything remotely related to President Trump. He hopes to see you soon.
Frying the President
Cooking Up Trouble
Thanks so much for joining me this morning. I decided to address my thoughts directly to Special Prosecutor Mueller, so please enjoy breakfast while I write.
To SP Mueller,
I'm just an ordinary citizen, though I am in the form of a butterfly. I felt compelled to reach out to you this morning, because your tedious investigation of the Trump team has proven quite emphatically that there was no collusion between President Trump and the Russians. That was your task in the beginning, but as often happens with people in your position, you tend to morph out in all directions. You have done precisely that, and your efforts are not only not appreciated, they are no longer justified or warranted. What have you really accomplished anyway? You indicted Manafort and his associate for a crime committed a decade ago. You made things worse by indicting 13 Russians who were not charged as foreign agents engaging in political activities without registering. That one alone doesn't sit well with me, and I'm jut a citizen butterfly, trying to understand what your real motives are. What are you really after Mr. Mueller?
Suspects are Everywhere
The interesting part about all of this, Mr. Mueller, is that there is plenty of evidence that the Democrats and the Hillary Clinton campaign are guilty of lying, colluding and trying to interfere with the election by paying for a fake dirty dossier aimed at discrediting Donald Trump. That is where the real investigation is. The saner citizens of this country are well aware of this, but yet you continue to look for evidence that would effectively boot our president out of office. If ever there was a time for you and your team to pack up and go home, it is now. That would be best for our nation. The fire that is fueling your jets is harmful, because it does not seem to be rooted in facts, but rather it seems like revenge. What are you really after, Mr. Mueller?
A Mountain of Facts
A Farce of an Investigation
I must say that I believe the establishment in Washington wants to see this "trumped" up investigation continue. There are quite a few Republicans in this group along with the deranged Democrats who are still losing their minds over the Trump win. Your investigation has turned into a witch hunt, and calls to keep you on are motivated by revenge and self-interest, other than in justice. There is nothing just about what you are doing. This nation deserves better than what you are offering. We need to move on from this nonsense. We deserve to see justice served, meaning that the abuses of the FISA courts and what that led to must be dealt with. You are bringing nothing to the table. Your work is done.
I am curious about the 13 Russians you indicted. Why did you charge them with conspiracy to defraud the U.S. and identity theft. They interfered with a Presidential election, but they weren't charged properly. The obvious charges were omitted. They were agents of a foreign nation and they were involved in political activities. None of that came up in the indictment. Why is that Mr. Mueller? Who are you protecting by tailoring your indictments, which are, to be honest, worthless. What are you really doing?
On Thin Ice
I have to wonder who is really on thin ice these days. Right now it feels like the American people are in jeopardy. Justice is not being served by your continued probing into anything remotely related to President Trump. Personally, I think it was a grave mistake to appoint you as special counsel. It is now clear that you have gone off the rails. No collusion has been found. That was what you were tasked with. You found nothing, and it is over. Now it is time to get to the truth. People other than yourself should take on that job. You are too entangled with the FBI to be involved in what should come next. Thank you for your service, and good-bye.
Blu's Song
Don't clip my wings
Don't tie me down
I just want the truth
What have you really found?

AUTHORGood Morning AB,

Good Morning TSAD,

Good Morning fp,
My take on these family feuds is that each f us has one vote, and that's about it. Sure we can write letters or blogs, but in the end we all have one vote. I have no intention of breaking up my family over any politician. The bad part is that some of my uber liberal relatives love to stir the pot. I get up and play with the dog! See you at the Inn.
BP, you asked me questions and I answered them (something Bill has never done when I've asked him questions btw) Stop asking me questions and I'll have nothing to say if that's what you want of me cause I have asked nothing of you, don't know why you keep going there.
Anyway, we have gone way of topic and I'm pretty sure Bill isn't going to tell me he loves my passion so I guess I'll just have to look elsewhere for support. "Sigh, LOL"
pop....speaking of your daughter's relative? Feel my pain for having more than my share of life-long friends who are "raging liberals." I do a lot of smiling through gritted teeth, deep breathing, changing the subject, turning up the radio & muttering under my breath. Anything I feel the need to do to save the peace and honor my history of friendship with these politically disabled darlings.
More recently I made the motion we simply talk NO Politics when together. We made the vow and trust me, there's a whole hell of a lot more interesting things to discuss that create a pleasant atmosphere where no one feels stressed or disgruntled.
Besides...aren't most us flustered to the hilt with these damned Politicians?! OH yeah, BTW....I cracked everyone up when I said that wearing PANT SUITS is totally forbidden!! I mean it!
Agreed!

Dear TSAD,
I choose my battles, and Bill is not n my list no matter how much you want him to be. He says he has important things to do, fine with me. You find him to be patronizing, I just believe that he supports me as a writer. By the way, he has agreed with my views on more than one occasion which is nice but not necessary. The one thing he is not is an angry , nasty guy.. If he were he would have been blocked long go. You are exhausting yourself, and it is to no avail. Live and let live TSAD. I'll tell you something interesting. A relative of my daughter's through marriage is a raging liberal. Her posts on FB are vicious, ignorant and frankly, drive me out of my mind. I could go in and comment, but there is no point. I have better things to do, and I don't need to stir the pot. Like Bill says, I's rather live my life, and let her live hers.
BP, See another perfect example of how a liberal twists what I say or puts words in my mouth - liberals always do that, misrepresent any criticism. I never said Bill is "here to be liked by everyone" did I? NO you won't find that in my comments but what I did say is he avoids controversy because he wants to be liked and discussing liberal views would possibly turn some people off, though being a liberal he just can't resist a jab here or there as long as he can hit and run from questions about what he said.
I made clear why I focus on Bill's comments, a teachable moment that has nothing to do with liking him or not liking him, and I even said I do like him yet he wants you to ignore all I said and wants you believe it is simply that I'm not very happy with him. "TSAD doesn't seem to be very happy with me. Sigh" It's all about him and has nothing to do with liberalism. I never even addressed him here, all my comments were between me and you BP, answers to BP's questions of me. Never did I even expect Bill to make a comment as he had his usual hit and run never to be heard from again til BP publishes another hub page.
What really is puzzling to me is that if Bill is so "busy with really important things to do" how does he find time to post an insubstantial comment every time you right a hub page BP or even come back here to belittle our conversation as "entertainment", meaning not worthy of serious consideration, by him anyway. Oh wait, I know why, because he supports you in your writing (even though he probably disagrees with everything you say?) yeah, that makes sense.
Good morning Pop!
Well that was all very entertaining. My goodness, TSAD doesn't seem to be very happy with me. Sigh! LOL
Listen, I'll say this one time and then I really have some important things to do, like live my life. I joined HP to become a part of a writing community and to support other writers. That's what I do here...support you in your writings. I couldn't care less what your political viewpoints are, but I do support your talents as a writer. I couldn't care less if you worship God or a baboon . . . I'm here to support your talents as a writer.
I don't know why that would upset some people. I'm engaged in political matters, but I don't choose to engage in them here at HP. Why should that upset some people? I'm at a loss for an explanation to that question?
And TSAD is wrong: I'm not here to be liked by everyone or to make friends with everyone. I really have no desire to be liked by TSAD, or to be his friend, and that is an irrefutable point.
Have a great day, Pop!
I know, it's not my intention that you take him on and never was. I just can't help myself when I see through liberal antics. See Bill even said jokingly once he placates conservatives because he knows he can't change their minds- I gave you his quote from a liberal hub page (he would never say that to you or maybe he would since you have no problem with what he says) on your other hub page. See that's liberal speak among liberals. What he is saying is conservatives are so narrow minded and extremist they can't see it his way. The truth is if he can't change their minds the reason is his view is based on liberal lies and false assumptions he accepts while conservatives can't be swayed from the facts, the truth. Liberals, Bill included, try to make the facts fit their ideology while conservatives look at the facts and make their ideology fit the facts.
I just think Bill's behavior is a teachable moment about the shallowness of liberalism and the disingenuousness that accompanies liberals who daily demonstrate that it is always more about them, their elitism, their "ideology" of good intentions than the facts of any issue at hand.
To say it's beneath them to step into the frey with conservatives because THEY KNOW they can never change their minds is an elitist attitude. He said it, that is how he thinks and you and I know conservatives never say such a thing because a cornerstone of conservatism is to educate and change minds, or why do you even write the political hub pages you write?
Anyway I'm really not angry at or even dislike Bill. Actually I understand he avoids controversial discussions because that's not his goal here, his passion is writing and he wants people to like his writing and not dislike him so he avoids it. That's normal and I would say wise and very professional for a writer not interested in writing political points of view. I wish people in Hollywood would follow his lead and stay out of politics. If Bill had never boasted he is a liberal you and I probably wouldn't be having these discussions at all BP. Either your followers are on vacation or they just don't want to touch these comments with a ten foot pole, but I put it out there not because I hate Bill but because I hate liberalism, what it is and what it does to everyone even to people like Bill.

Good Morning TSAD,
I see where you are coming from, I really do, but billy is not gong to change how he thinks and how he acts. I have no vested interest in taking him on. Members of my own family are just like him, and taking them on would be pointless and it would destroy the family. The one thing that is truer now than ever before is that people on the left refuse to consider the facts, because the facts never support their narrative. Once upon a time it was possible to have a debate about the issues. Those days are over, and I don't expect that to change. So there it is TSAD, and by the way I do not feel I am being patronized at all.
Are you passionate BP or are you passing it?
Well since YOU asked BP I will answer your question, but first why do you say "I don't understand your anger towards billy."
I'm not angry - anger is what Paula feels, I'm not attacking him like she attacked me, "her old friend," like some kind of moma bear protecting her cub who is incapable of standing up for himself.
What "bothers" me, and I would say I've made that abundantly clear several times (so I wonder why you want to open that door again) is that the only reason Bill even visits your hubpages, not even a visit but a hit and run in order to avoid scrutiny, is to patronize you and your readers by the way in accordance with his agenda which is to ingratiate himself with everyone and avoid engaging in any conversation that could lead to revealing anything about him or his beliefs that could be construed as controversial to anyone. But that's not the all of it, beneath his persona of being a likable, talented, encouraging and uplifting writer and friend to everybody, which I have to say is not a fake persona by any means but from what I've read and seen of him he is all of that and probably more especially to those close to him. See I really like him myself, and that's why I try to engage him, because I know enough of him from his activity here on hubpages to see he mistakenly embraces liberalism and though he couches his position of fence sitting on debates as knowing he can't change non liberal's minds (in his own words, not mine) in reality he is afraid to change his own mind by exposing it to debate.
You see he will never grow beyond the unreasoned, immature and false tenants of liberalism if he insists on patronizing the other side simply to curry favor while hiding what he really believes. I just can't get over the feeling when he ignores taking issue with your conservatism and curries favor for patronizing you that he isn't secretly reveling in how he so loved by people he fervently disagrees with.
Why would I think that? Because he says he is a liberal and I know liberals and that is how they behave, they always have an agenda that is not what they project publically, you know that BP.
So there is your answer. I am not angry with Bill, I actually feel sorry for him as I do all liberals because while they believe they have all the answers and are loved by everyone, or should be, yet they wreak pain and havoc wherever they prevail on policy and that fact alone should be an eyeopener to people like Bill but you can't open eyes that are sealed shut. You have to have conviction in your beliefs to discuss them with opposing views and to run away from that doesn't strengthen your beliefs but shows them to be weak. See the difference between me and fair weather friends I've had is that I won't agree with you just because I consider you my friend, if I see my friend is wrong I will say so whether they like it or not- we can still be friends, but too many "friends" feel if you disagree then the friendship is over and that is just immature, they don't want a friend they just want to be adored.

Dear TSAD,
Now that's funny, really funny. As far as I'm concerned, I am passionate, and that's fine and just who am. I believe in what I write about, and I am disgusted with the way Washington traditionally works. Getting very little accomplished is their goal. Solving loads of problems would give them less to carry on about. I don't understand your anger towards billy. Why does it bother you so much? By the way, he does weigh in from time to time, and yes we agree sometimes. That's nice, but not necessary. He is a gentleman, and I appreciate that very much. If he behaves differently on other sites, that' s his prerogative.
BP, Well since you brought it up, Of course you would say that because that is what he wants! He wants to be liked by everybody, that's why he never engages in political debate but only makes patronizing comments. If he actually expressed how he feels about your content, the facts, the actual points you make and not your passion your blood might boil, others would debate him and that's a no win for a liberal who lives to be loved by everyone.
But that's fine, he has an opinion about your passion, whatever that means (is that why you write what you write, to gain admirers of your passion? I doubt that, that would be thinking like a liberal) and others can have an opinion about his sincerity. It's a two way street, or is it? You tell me.
I must say though, it really "bugs" me we don't have more common sense people in government and the media who think like you and acted on the premises of your hub pages.
Passion? Not sure that gets anything done. I was once at a party, and this hot woman was so drunk she could hardly walk. She said to me she lived a couple blocks away and asked me if I'd walk her home. Honestly, I was only interested in helping her but as we walked down the street she was learning all over me. We went two blocks and she started pulling at my cloths and screaming "your passionate" louder and louder as we walked on. I stopped and held her upright and looked face to face at her and said listen honey, I'm a married man. She seemed to sober up for a second and screamed in my face "No,no, your passing it, I live back there!"

Good Morning TSAD,
I could think of many responses that would have my blood boiling. Billy's is not one of them.
Perry Como, I never missed his show when I was growing up - could be 'cause everyone said I looked just like him (him and Rock Hudson) which got my interest, but he was our family's favorite.
I know what you are thinking but it wasn't until I became an adult that people said I reminded them of Chevy Chase - still not sure if they meant my looks or behavior.
HA! Girlfriend, I know what you're expecting from me....but never fear.. I popped a blood pressure pill, took a few deep breaths, repeated my mantra a few times & reassured myself that some people are simply not worth the powder it takes to blow them up. I may even listen to some Perry Como music...while all the youngsters ask, "WHO the hell is Perry Como?!" Peace, oh god Yes, Peace.
I always love your passion, Pop!
But no coment on your content, It's probably not important enough to merit a response so I didn't even read it. But good passion.

Dear brad,
How right you are, and how sad this whole sick situation is....
POP
I agree, but I do think that the government is functioning, however it doesn't function for the people.
It never really has, but today it is blatantly obvious that it doesn't care about the people. Neither party cares about the people. We can see that democrats don't care at all, and only some of the republicans do. Trump does care and that is why he is president.
However Trump is like the new manager of the baseball team, and he is working with players that are rented by someone else. While Trump may have the winning game strategy, the team is getting their strategy from somewhere else.
The only thing new about this scenario is that Trump wants the team to win, his predecessors had a different goal.

Good Morning brad,
I am tired of all the delays. I am tired of those in Washington who still support Mueller. They keep saying that Mueller is a good upstanding guy, but I don't see that at all. Mueller is wasting our money and causing distraction and friction. With all the losers in Washington, I m surprised our government functions at all. See you at the Inn.
Pop
I wonder why the republicans don't just call for his removal. It has been long enough, and the republicans need to say to Mueller. Put up your evidence now, or get out.
The republicans are doing a good job here. They need to demand that special counsel for investigating DOJ, FBI, CIA, NSA and especially Mueller.
The democrats are stronger than the republicans, and they were successful in making sure that only Trump and not Hillary would be investigated.
The best defense is a good offense, and the dems made that play successfully.
The have filled Washington DC with Red Herrings. And their distractions are effective. For example, what ever happened to the Schiff Memo that the dems did after the Nunes Memo.
They are also using the Mohammad Ali shuffle, the rope a dope.
The republicans on the other hand appear to be that dope.
We need more support for Nunes and Trump.

Dear Yves,
I wonder the same thing. It is clear, even to an infant that the true culpritsvare the Clinton empire and the Dems. It is also clear that we have Clinton sympathizers and Trump haters in the FBI and the Justice Department. It is high time we rid ourselves of these people and get on with making America great again. Thanks so much for coming to the breakfast table.

Dear Pin,
At this point, it is clear that Mueller has nothing and it is time to say good-bye. He has outlived his usefulness. He found nothing, and that's that. Everything going on from this point forward is a waste of time and money. See you at the Inn. I'd rather spend my money there.
I don't think any U.S. President has had this much "crap" thrown at him since Nixon. And for those who don't know, Nixon loved this country.
Anyhoo...I digress. Blu is correct. Mueller found no Trump/Russian collusion because there wasn't any. It would seem that his goal is to keep the flames of the "Impeach Trump" fire burning strongly. I guess. Honestly, I don't know what's happening anymore.
What happened to the days when you had to do something wrong before you were tried?

Hey, Paula,
I have to check out my last article. If I didn't respond I am so, so sorry. As far as the "i hop your Easter was wonderful", well I'd like to take credit for being clever, but it was a typo, cute, but a typo. See you at the Inn. Let's have a "Good-bye Mueller party."
Hey pop & Blu....It's such a beautiful day (Finally) here in Upstate NY! I hate to mar it with the doom & gloom of this subject matter, but....what the H----.
For sure, Mueller & his band of blood hounds need to go home, or somewhere, anywhere will be just fine. Maybe they can follow their palsy-walsy Hillary and just hit the damned road. Bye, Bye, So long, don't let the truth hit you in the ass on the way out.
What a fiasco...joke...waste of time & money, OUR money. Think of all the good that money could have and should have been used to move us forward. "Forward," now there's a unique concept Mr. Mueller, don't ya think?
Off the rails? Obviously they've gone off the rails. How else to explain a total Train Wreck?
Now pop, I know you're very clever, but really~~was that a play on words or a rare typo when you told Bill, "I HOP your Easter was wonderful??" LOL Right, I don't miss a thing, girlfriend! I hop yours was too!!
Oh, and by the way, you did not respond to my last comment on your prior article. I can be a nag. See you at the Inn where we don't need hip boots! Paula

Good Morning Tom,
Isn't it convenient for the elites in Washington to forget all about the uranium deal? The hypocrisy is so thick, I think we need rubber hip boots! I'll be at the Inn soon. It's calmer and safer there.
Pop and Blu,
As the FBI director when the Uranium 1 deal went through (even though the FBI had an informant about Russia's corrupt intentions), Muller did NOTHING to stop that deal. His hands are so stained with corrupt dirt he isn't fit to draw up a will much less prosecute (persecute) the president.
