By Aaron Miller-
Conservative lawyer and husband of White House counsellor Kellyanne Conway, has written a damning op-ed that President Donald Trump is unfit for office, irrespective of the Mueller report’s findings.
Conway wrote: ”Americans should expect far more from a president than merely that he not be provably a criminal,” George Conway wrote. “They should expect a president to comport himself in accordance with the high duties of his office.
Trump “lied, to the point that his own lawyers wouldn’t dare let him speak to Mueller, lest he commit a crime,” Conway noted, adding that he appeared “more concerned about touting his supposedly historic election victory than confronting an attack on our democracy by a hostile foreign power.”

“If the charge were unfitness for office,” he concluded, “the verdict would already be in: guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.”
EVIDENCE
Special counsel Robert Mueller recently concluded there was no evidence that Trump’s campaign or associates conspired with Russia, according to Attorney General William Barr’s summary of the report submitted to Congress on Sunday. Mueller’s investigation of whether the President committed obstruction of justice did not conclude the President committed a crime, but it also “does not exonerate him,” Barr wrote, quoting from Mueller’s report.
“If his report doesn’t exonerate the president, there must be something pretty damning in it about him, even if it might not suffice to prove a crime beyond a reasonable doubt,” George Conway suggested.
In a jab against Trump, he argued that the question of whether the President obstructed justice was “always dicey” and came to be “inconclusive” due to Trump’s “twisted” mind.
“On the facts, obstruction turns on what’s in a defendant’s mind — often a difficult thing to determine, and especially difficult with a mind as twisted as Trump’s,” Conway wrote.

“And complicating things even more, paradoxically, is the fact that some of Trump’s arguably obstructionist conduct took place in full public view — something that, with a normal person with normal moral inhibitions, would have indicated a lack of criminal intent. But in the head of Donald J. Trump, who knows?
“Conway also called for the Mueller report to be made public.
“But whether the Mueller report ever sees the light of day, there is one charge that can be resolved now,” Conway wrote. “Americans should expect far more from a president than merely that he not be provably a criminal. They should expect a president to comport himself in accordance with the high duties of his office.”
George Conway went further to accuse the president of putting his personal interests above the interests of the country as he listed a number of charges against the U.S tendency, including an alleged tendency to stretch the truth. The idea for the husband of the president’s senior aide to come out like that is unwise and could potentially jeopardise the relationship between Ms Conway and the president.
Iat can be assumed he did not get the approval of his wife before writing the O’ped and questions his loyalty to his wife for his decision in going forward with the article. Ot could also be an indication that KellyAnne Conway is privately discontent with her personal experience with Donald Trump and shares similar views as her husband.
