Sine qua non causation--my theory of why they want to discredit the Mueller report

Basically this means “if not for but”
This is why I think they want to discredit the Mueller report by using the simple theory of of if the Mueller Report didn’t exist, we would not have investigated Trump...therefore everything that emanates from the fruit of the poison tree is not valid.
These are not geniuses. These are dime store attorneys formulating this plan. Their plan will be very simple...with lots of chaos.

testimony are going to make it significantly more difficult for them to make their smear of Obama and his admin stick.

This isn't like the Birther or "he's a Muslim" smear. Many Americans in law enforcement and the intelligence community collected a massive amount of evidence. Bogus allegations will be promptly met with proven facts in court. It's a dangerous thing to try because such an allegation make shake loose additional evidence they needed to prove collusion. So such an effort may well be for the whole enchilada.

It will probably go down like naming Sarah Palin as a VP candidate. Short term bounce in the polls with a brief media gasp until folks find out it's really cheap and poor quality fool's gold. That's Trump brand.

proof to that effect.

2. They want people to not think they are evil doers so they have to substitute a false narrative for the truth.

3. For the false narrative to be believed they have to convince people that what is true is not true.

4. The way to convince people that the truth is not the truth is to discredit the truth.

Simple as that!

You don't need any fucking Latin.


I have this theory that goes like this:

We are taught that we must learn to solve our problems.

Not everyone can solve their problems yet they must appear to be solving problems.

So the invent phony problems which they have prepared solutions.

Basically they have solutions in search of a problem.
