In Episode 30 [10] of the CounterVortex podcast [11], Bill Weinberg decries the unseemly gloating from the (totally predictable [12]) Glen Greenwald [13], Matt Taibbi [14] and their ilk over the Mueller Report's supposed (not actual [15]) exoneration of Donald Trump. The report actually backs up the 2016 findings of the intelligence community [16] that there was Russian meddling [17] in the eleciton. There have been over 100 indictments [18] issued by Mueller's team, including for lying to Congress about meetings between Trump representatives and Russians. Meanwhile, the results of several other invesitgations and legal cases [19] against Trump and his team remain pending. Yet paradoxical pro-Trump "leftists" [20] ignore all this and echo the intepretation [21] of the Mueller Report put forth by Attorney General William Barr—who was appointed by Trump precisely to protect his ass [22]. Repudiating this Red-Brown [23] pseudo-left jive that abets Trump's lies [24], Weinberg joins with the ACLU [25] and Robert Reich [26] in calling for the complete and unredacted release of the Mueller Report. And hopefully using its contents to build a mass militant movement such as was seen in South Korea [27] in 2016, to demand the impeachment [28] of the president—or even nullification [29] of the tainted election that brought him to power.
