Dear Mr. Trump,

Not so fast!

Having your bootlicking A.G. distort the Mueller Report doesn’t do the trick. We, the American people, can read.

Whether or not “collusion,” we see your conduct. It’s indisputable your entire campaign welcomed Russian interference in our election and failed to alert the FBI. Indeed, you were delighted that an enemy of America was working hard to subvert our democracy and you wanted that to continue.

That’s “exoneration”?

Although Mr. Mueller is honorable, he grossly forgave your coordination with the Russian interference, taking a ridiculously narrow view of the concept. He claimed that coordination requires “an agreement – tact or express — between the Trump Campaign and the Russian government.” (Report 2) Since he found no direct evidence of an agreement, he concluded there wasn’t coordination.

Excuse me, but coordination doesn’t require an agreement. Merriam-Webster defines coordination as “the harmonious functioning of parts for effective results. The Business Dictionary defines it as “the synchronization and integration of activities.” These definitions exactly fit.

Mr. Mueller notes “The [Russian] social media campaign and the GRU hacking operations coincided with a series of contacts between Trump Campaign officials and individuals with ties to the Russian government.” (Report 5) That’s more than enough for reasonable people to know there was coordination. The “coincidence” – things happening together – was no accident.

Furthermore, Mr. Mueller said he would’ve found more, except that “several individuals affiliated with the Trump Campaign lied to the Office, and to Congress, about their interactions with [Russia.] … Those lies materially impaired the investigation.” He was hampered too because “subjects of the investigation  … [pled the] Fifth Amendment.” (Report 9-10). How convenient!

We’ll keep reading about your immoral and deceitful behavior.
