Robert Mueller, Former F.B.I. Director, Is Named Special Counsel for Russia Investigation

You don’t know how discovery works, do you?

 

He does. He just doesn’t like it.

 

Have you read any of his posts? He seems to not understand quite a few things.

 

Cohete and tallanvor are in competition for obtuse poster of the decade. At least until giddy shows up, then they'll be battling for second place.

 

Trump's off the cuff remarks do not match his prepared speech at the FBI.

When Trumps says "everybody is very angry with the FBI, not just me", I immediately think ... Fox and Friends.

At about 1:00

 

Another instance of this administration's stunning incompetence and unfitness to serve coming back to bite them in the ass. Any bureaucratic noob knows that a ".gov" email address has no level of privacy.

 

Hillary Clinton certainly knows that.

Bazinga!

 

Martyrs might be useful if you have 10 more fighters who'll jump in to fill the breach. If Mueller is fired, liberals will grouse a lot, and they might vote in unexpected and dangerous ways, but they won't do anything about Trump. The doing would be up to Republicans in Congress, and I think we know what we can expect from them at this point.

 

every word is a lie from this guy. It's repulsive and kind of admirable that he can make his people eat it up like it's two step cookie dough blue bell ice cream.
"it's going to be BIGGER and better than ever." his words are so beautifully predictable. But please do tell me about the fbi RATINGS?

 

The deal with Trump is that he's definitely in an echo chamber. We know that he rarely if ever watches, reads, or gets news from sources that aren't Fox News Channel, Breitbart, Alex Jones, and the like. Those sources all talk about things like folks being upset with the FBI. They have guests that feel that way. So he actually thinks everyone feels that way.

When he does get stories from more reputable news sources it makes him angry, and he's bought into the idea that they are left wing, propaganda, fake news sources. Those ideas are also supported by the the places Trump looks to for news.

 

Trump wishes he was as competent as Hillary as hiding her tracks.

 

at this point Mueller is effectively operating with a general warrant to investigate all things Trump, with no limit on duration/budget/scope of the investigation

insane

 

I'd be surprised if it ended then. They want to milk this as long as they can hoping that one day they find an actual reason to have been doing it to begin with.

 

its been that way from the get go. Here's what Rosenstein directed when Mueller was appointed:

Listen, I get it. As trump's defender you want to limit and in fact, stop the investigation. But... if trump is truly innocent, wouldn't you rather have that proven out? And if trump is guilty, don't you think the American people deserve to know?

 

Following the money takes one down many different roads.

 

TRUMP - “I will tell you this, Russia: If you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,”

TRUMP - "Mueller IMPROPERLY obtained transition emails, IMPROPER!"

(No, he did not. Completely legal. What Trump asked Russia to do (and what Russia did). Completely illegal.)

 

absurd, this has been going on for a year with zero evidence/charges of collusion w Russia (the purported reason for the investigation)

the idea that Mueller is going to put the country through this for another year is a gross abuse of power

 

Snowflake much?

 

Excuse me? First, how long did the Watergate investigation take? Or more recently, Benghazi? What happened to the "don't rush to judgement"?

Second, its a complex investigation, involving possible charges of the most serious kind (at least most serious involving our democratic form of government).

And third, how do you know what evidence Mueller has found, and what charges are being considered?

Again, I understand why you, as a trump voter and supporter, want the investigation sped up and even stopped. But most Americans want this investigation to be completed.
