    No bombshells, nothing we didn't already know or have reason to believe. Anyone hoping this announcement would start the clock in impeachment should feel deflated.

    The end of this investigation will tell us that Donald Trump was a scumbag husband who surrounds himself with dirty businessmen and who may or may not have done deals with Russians where he may or may not have been willing to trade influence for money. That will be the end of it.

    Here is a driving violation analogy of the bs you are spewing.

    What Obama's campaign did was equivalent to driving with an expired inspection sticker, a civil offense solved with a 100 dollar fine.

    What Trump and Cohen did is equivalent to a DUI, a criminal misdemeanor.

    "One of the biggest open questions is not about Mueller, but SDNY. They've concluded the president committed a crime, and they have hard evidence to prove it. What do they do with that? They can't just drop it."​

    They can present it to the Federal Election Commission, who has jurisdiction over these matters. If fact, if there is anything to this, there is nothing to prevent the FEC from pursuing it without anyone presenting anything to them on it. This matter has been in the news for, what, a year now? Maybe longer?

    Maybe one of you reading this can call the FEC and ask them to look into it. Maybe that will help get this going. Here is a link to their website, so as to make it easier for you to contact them:

    Yeah the end of it as in it will be a big deal to people who already care about it but won't matter to the rest and won't lead to any change among Republicans in the Senate regarding impeachment.

    for the good of our country that's the outcome we should hope to see. unfortunately, that appears to be a best cast scenario and unlikely at this point.

    Hmm... we just saw a legal filing that accused trump of at least two felonies. And suggested there was more to come. Now you might believe its stuff we "already knew or have reason to believe" but its now in a a legal document.

    Bingo. We've been able to connect the dots thanks to journalists, but we now have proof that both SDNY and Mueller have cold hard evidence. That's quite a development.

    The felonies he's being accused of are ones that are easy to be ignored by his party though that's my point. Nothing new in terms of something that will move the needle with his party.

    Are you suggesting that Trump is being accused of "Felonies" in these memos released today? If so, what specific "Felony" accusations are being asserted against President Trump? I apparently managed to miss those somehow.
