Turns out, even old men who are reluctantly thrust into the spotlight, to carry the burden that was borne from the tempestuous climate of lawlessness and the unsalvageable divisiveness, can’t escape the weightiness of their wilted appearances and sunken features, against the backdrop of a high-stakes and intensely monitored hearing, in the presence of the House Judiciary Committee.

Such was the fate of former Special Counsel Robert Mueller, a decorated war hero, and patriot, who has spent two years immersed in the investigation of how the Russians managed to collide with, and almost destroy America’s most prized possession— our democracy.

The long road that led to the present, wasn’t without the hiccups of potholes and dangerous bumps, that began to erupt around the time when America willfully elected a White supremacist to succeed the historic era of the first-ever Black president.

The 2016 elections were brutal and intoxicatingly vile, as a stunned world watched in horror, as a former “super power” and “world police” switched codes in order to accommodate the grotesque view of a bullish thug with a rap sheet that is kept under wraps, by a system that was founded on the principles of White supremacy.
