Godspeed, Robert Mueller!

To say that Donald John Trump has trouble speaking the truth would be among the grossest of understatements.   He lies with ease and abandon, often when it is not even necessary.  Lying is a habit to Trump - like grabbing any woman within reach and shoveling fast food into his expansive pie-hole.

Lying is an integral part of Donald Trump's existence, such a pervasive part of his being that the news media seems to tire of fact-checking and correcting him - perhaps out of the realization that everyone capable of rational thought already knows he is lying.  Why restate the obvious?

But today Donald Trump spit up a Twitter hairball that is worth repeating - and while it was obviously a lie, it would be a fun one to believe because it would likely be an admission that Trump had obstructed justice.

Yesterday Trump's former National Security Adviser, Mike Flynn, admitted that he had lied to the FBI in the Russia probe.  Today Trump, who is in obvious panic mode over what Flynn is likely swapping for fewer charges and a lighter sentence, went after him on Twitter:

"I had to fire General Flynn because he lied to the Vice President and the FBI. He has pled guilty to those lies. It is a shame because his actions during the transition were lawful. There was nothing to hide!"
Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller, the former director of the FBI and who was appointed to his current legal perch by the current assistant director of the FBI, undoubtedly has full access to FBI records.  If Trump's bizarre - and belated - claim that he fired Flynn for lying to the FBI would happen to be true, and if Trump dutifully reported Flynn's lying to the FBI, then those facts are undoubtedly noted somewhere in the agency's record.  But if Trump fired Flynn for lying to the FBI (as he now states via Twitter), and then failed to notify the FBI that Flynn had lied to that agency, then it would seem to this grinning observer that Donald John Trump has willfully obstructed justice.  And if that is the case, then it's definitely Mueller time!

If Donald John Trump obstructed justice, then . . .

Lock him up - and impeach the sorry piece of bloated humanity! 

In that order.

Godspeed, Robert Mueller!
