Re: Mueller's investigation of Trump
Nothing Mueller does will matter if we don't get a congress that can be bothered to act on it. Lose the mid-terms, this will fizzle like trumps brain. 'Pubs haven't shown any inclination to cut off their gravy train.
And it will be time to find some place else to live.

Re: Mueller's investigation of Trump
Oh, I think the statements about the indictment are perfectly accurate, the "individual" in question ISN'T mentioened there. I am hoping they are saving one single one for him with much stiffer charges.Sterngard Friegen wrote: ↑Fri Jul 13, 2018 9:10 pmI think the indictment indeed contains an allegation -- language (just not charging language) -- which points to an American citizen (a candidate for U.S. Congress and probably a Congressman), who committed a crime. So I don't think Rosenstein's disclaimer was very accurate.
That Congressman knows who he is. I hope he is shitting his pants. He is going to be indicted and I don't think Trump can save him. There will also be a motion to expel him from the House.
The fact that you sincerely and wholeheartedly believe that the “Law of Gravity” is unconstitutional and a violation of your sovereign rights, does not absolve you of adherence to it.

I haz a sad.
I was looking forward to Rachel's take on the new indictment. But it's Ari Melber subbing.

Re: Mueller's investigation of Trump
I count it as one. Especially since it happened right before Trump is supposed to meet with Putin.

Before turning to what the indictment alleges, and what we can learn from it, it’s worth zooming out to an important macro point about the investigation that led to this action: This was the investigation over which the president of the United States fired James Comey as FBI director.
This is the investigation Comey confirmed on March 20, 2017, when he told Congress, “I have been authorized by the Department of Justice to confirm that the FBI, as part of our counterintelligence mission, is investigating the Russian government's efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election.”

Re: Mueller's investigation of Trump
Here we go...blame it on Obama.
No condemnation over a foreign government messing in our elections though.The stories you heard about the 12 Russians yesterday took place during the Obama Administration, not the Trump Administrations. Why didn’t they do something about it, especially when it was reported that President Obama was informed by the FBI in September, before the Election?

Re: Mueller's investigation of Trump
Same here. I was listening to Rosenstein's announcement on my computer at work when I first wrote that RNC or NRA. I had the volume down to where I thought I could hear it plainly enough, but I didn't want the sound to get out into the main room where people were working. Should have closed my office door so I could hear it better.

Re: Mueller's investigation of Trump
I suspect that many Congresscritters/candidates are shitting their pants, but I don't think that there will be a republican motion to expel, at least not one that goes anywhere but the trashcan. I have a great deal of faith in the republican party -- to be as venal, vile, corrupt, racist, bigoted, misogynistic, etc. as possible.Sterngard Friegen wrote: ↑Fri Jul 13, 2018 9:10 pmI think the indictment indeed contains an allegation -- language (just not charging language) -- which points to an American citizen (a candidate for U.S. Congress and probably a Congressman), who committed a crime.

Re: Mueller's investigation of Trump
That's what has always bothered me about the title of this thread. This investigation began as, and continues to be, an investigation into Russian meddling in our 2016 presidential election. In hindsight, it has turned out to be extremely justified by the results it has yielded so far. Why has Trump insisted all this time that it is all about him? Of course, it may still be all about him but the entire course of the FBI's conduct is consistent with the stated purpose of the investigation.Kendra wrote: ↑Sat Jul 14, 2018 5:30 amhttps://www.lawfareblog.com/russia-indi ... indictment

Re: Mueller's investigation of Trump
Actually, I think it is because he knows there are many dubious connections that would turn up in the investigation. Whether these connections were unwitting or not, they exist and that has him running scared.pipistrelle wrote: ↑Sat Jul 14, 2018 3:58 pmBut by making it about him he can stoke the outrage of the reality TV audience that still thinks he's presidential.raicha wrote: ↑Sat Jul 14, 2018 3:55 pmThis investigation began as, and continues to be, an investigation into Russian meddling in our 2016 presidential election.

Re: Mueller's investigation of Trump
I honestly think he's being blackmailed by Putin for past sexual stuff. If we ever see the bottom of the hole, that's what we're going to find. So it is, very much, an investigation of him personally, and he has more information about that than we do.
Mueller knows more about the big picture, and Mueller is investigating more than the kompromat. But Trump knows what he did, and he knows Putin has it on video, and he's scared shitless that it will be revealed.
