Mueller report a distraction

The findings on the Mueller report show me that Mr. Mueller refused to make a final decision when the report was done — he punted, knowing the controversy will continue.

The only winner is Vladimir Putin. He wanted to cause hate and discontentment among us all, especially in our two-party system. While the politicians continue “the investigations,” Putin is moving into Venezuela and now has opened his door to North Korea. Kim Jong Un will go with Russia and Putin will grant him protection from the West. North Korea will start their testing of rockets while our elected people fume and fuss over Mueller’s open-ended report.

We are supposed to have a United States Senate and a United States Congress - just drop the word “united” in both houses. They forget they’re there to protect us and support our needs, not hand PUtin or any other dictator a pathway to destroy our republic.
