I think you can be confident that Mueller is more than clever enough to figure out ways to get his evidence before the American people. He also – finally – has protection from Democrats in the House who will work to share what he has.
January 3, 2019, was in fact the earliest date he could do anything substantive. And despite his best efforts, it will be up to us, the citizens of this country, to do something with what he puts before us.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but if the president is found to have been working for the Russians, is this not beyond collusion/conspiracy, and into full-on treason?
At some point, McConnell’s narrative may change from, “I won’t hold a vote on any House bill unless the President agrees with it” to “I won’t hold a vote on any House bill because I have concerns about foreign influence on the President… except for when he nominates judges, those dudes are the bomb.”
Treason is helping and giving comfort to the enemy. We will need to define what an enemy is before that’s done.
Is Russia an ‘enemy’. I don’t want to think so, but it is certainly a hostile country.
Putin has got just what he wanted with Trump. No doubt he wakes up with a smile on his face every day. “So, what did he do now? Hahahhahhah”.
Our President is a moron. Treason? Can you convict a moron of treason? I suppose, but I would prefer those that support him see what they have done. Donald Trump deserves to spend the rest of his life out in a court room. Exposed for all to see. Sure he will have his attorneys and ‘fixers’, but he needs to be there for every god dam moment.
Yeah, it does seem as though Russia has deifnatly won this round. Our government is crippled, our law enforcement agencies are demoralized, our economy is remarkably fragile.
Why? How do you suppose they will react? Unless it’s a slight variation on “they’ll smugly approve and immediately begin denigrating others as ‘sore losers’”, I’m gonna think you haven’t been paying attention these past few years.
Trump’s supporters want to destroy this country. There are different reasons, but they want to destroy this country so they can make a new one they think is more in their image.
Some maybe, but most, I don’t think have thought that far. They want to destroy the country because that is where the liberals live, and they want to hurt the liberals, no matter the cost to themselves.
I forget if it was a poster or a pundit, but someone said (horribly paraphrased) that the dream of a conservative is to be the last survivor on a world of corpses.
When the Monica Lewinski firefight was on, there were serious questions and debates to be had about the actions of the power of the Special Counsel, whether this constituted an impeachable offense, how did this relate to the original Whitewater investigation, when did Hillary know, etc.
What nobody questioned was the fact of Bill Clinton’s cock in that girl’s mouth.
And, in turn, the narrative behind all this will be just as simple: Donald Trump is a guy who did business with Russians for 20+ years, ran for President in 2015, and when his friends said “hey, want some help?”, he naturally replied “Sure! You guys love me!”
It already is the narrative based upon both statements made by Donald, Donald Jr, etc. It’s out there. And this openness can make it hard to see.
So we know what Mueller is going to find out: that Trump colluded with Russians to win the election and this conspiracy continued after his inauguration, and we know this because of Trump’s actions themselves.
(This is why Papadopoulos was always a dead end, his case wrapped so early - Trump didn’t need George to make high-level contacts with Putin, Trump already had those connections.)
How do you suppose they will react? Unless it’s a slight variation on “they’ll smugly approve and immediately begin denigrating others as ‘sore losers’”, I’m gonna think you haven’t been paying attention these past few years.
