Representative government or the Trump alternative? \u201cThere is no collusion!\u201d says Trump.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s look it up: American Heritage Dictionary \u2014 collude: to be in collusion; act together secretly; connive.<\/p>\n
From Latin: colludere: together + ludere to play, deceive, from ludus, game<\/p>\n
Collusion: a secret agreement between two or more persons for a deceitful or fraudulent purpose. Conspiracy \u2014 a synonym<\/p>\n
Collusive (adj.) secretly arranged for fraudulent purposes<\/p>\n
Last time I checked, most of us could read, understand, and make independent conclusions about information delivered to us in interviews, newspapers or directly (as in \u201crallies\u201d).<\/p>\n
Most of us can and are willing to read a 300-page report that was commissioned by our political representatives and paid for by tax funding. We don\u2019t need Classic Comics or Cliff\u2019s Notes to summarize a report for us.<\/p>\n
And, I believe, each of us can interpret another\u2019s comments and findings regarding the management of our representative government. Those whom we hire to supervise the management of governance of our nation have the obligation to be open to those who \u201chired\u201d them.<\/p>\n
Members of Congress and the president were hired by the people who selected them for the office each holds. It is our obligation to review and comment on (through our vote) the actions outlined in the Mueller report.<\/p>\n
The Mueller report must be open to the public for review.<\/p>\n
