Mueller Report One Piece of the Puzzle

Robert Mueller

News of the release of the Robert Mueller report to the Attorney General, William Barr, broke some four hours ago in the Eastern U.S.  Few details were made public except for the fact that the report does not recommend any further indictments, according to several major news sources (NPR said).   

The news media here are understandably anxious to find out more about what is in the report and whether it will be released to the public.  

In the meantime, we need to keep in mind the larger picture of deep and widespread corruption within the American political process which has become increasingly dominated by vested interests at essentially all levels.  Regarding the Presidential election process, this has been made abundantly clear by the internationally recognized reporter, Greg Palast.  

So while the Mueller report is certainly of vital importance relating to the influence of any foreign power in American elections, there have been plenty of American bad actors from right here in our own country.  Whether there are any connections between these American bad actors and Russians will be the big mystery to solve over the coming days, weeks, months, and even years.  We already know, for instance, that the founder of the Koch enterprise had business dealings with Russia in earlier decades.  

Above all this, however, we must keep in mind the safety of the whole world and all the people in it.  Those things which promote peace should be held dear, and those things which undermine or delay peace should forever be kept at arms' length.   

Future days should be interesting, to say the least.
