DESCRIPTION:What the Mueller Report Doesn’t Say \n\n“When you read it, it’s 
 pretty devastating,” said former Director of National Intelligence James 
 Clapper. The New Yorker columnist Susan Glasse wrote “The Mueller Report 
 Won’t End Trump’s Presidency, But It Sure Makes Him Look Bad… After 
 reading the report, it was hard to recall the world of utter vindication 
 and Presidential victimization that Attorney General Barr had painted 
 earlier in the day.  \n\n“In Trumpworld, vindication meant his guaranteed 
 reelection; to the President’s critics, the report was damning, 
 devastating, an impeachment referral, a congressional call to 
 arms.”\n\nWhat Clapper and Glasse did not say is that the Trump/Pence 
 regime is fascist. What they did not say is that the Trump/Pence regime is 
 determined to consolidate a fascist America. What they did not say is that 
 no one in government has the power to remove Trump from power without a 
 mass upsurge of millions from below.\n\nMainstream media promotes the lie 
 that a sitting president cannot be charged with a crime, only the Congress 
 can act. The Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel has established 
 policy that “The indictment or criminal prosecution of a sitting 
 President would unconstitutionally undermine the capacity of the executive 
 branch to perform its constitutionally assigned functions.” \n\nSome 
 legal experts conclude that the position is non-binding. “Justice 
 Department regulations governing Mueller’s appointment allow him to 
 deviate from department policy in ‘extraordinary circumstances’ with 
 the approval of the U.S. attorney general, the nation’s top law 
 enforcement official.” Others have suggested “Mueller could invoke this 
 exception if he has uncovered serious wrongdoing and lacked confidence in 
 the ability of the divided Congress to hold Trump accountable.”\n\nA 
 federal statute of limitations (usually 5 years) for indictment gives 
 further impetus to prosecute the criminal activities of this president 
 before the 2020 election. Whether Congress  pursues impeachment, or not, it 
 will take massive, sustained nonviolent protests in the streets of cities 
 and towns across the country – protests that continue day after day and 
 don’t stop – to create the kind of political situation in which the 
 demand that the Trump/Pence regime be removed from power is met. \n\nWhile 
 the Mueller report failed to bring any high-level indictments, and the 
 Democrats strive to “hold the center” for 2020, an upsurge of migrants 
 flee their homelands out of desperation. Trump’s national emergency 
 declaration takes funds without congressional approval for his border wall. 
 Now is the time for Refuse Fascism to go on the offensive politically, mass 
 distribute the Call To Action, organize more people into Refuse Fascism 
 and prepare and organize to start with thousands in the major cities in 
 mass determined non-violent protest. \n\nThis nightmare must end. The 
 Trump/Pence regime must go!\n
