    Recurring theme “may”. Shouldn’t you be more concerned with the illegal framing of a President? Nevermind. “ The Agenda”

    The illegal framing of a president? Are you fuggin kidding me here? How about you wrap your mind around this......this isn’t a President who resorted to criminal activity in order to get elected, this is a lifelong entitled criminal who was elected President by a spiteful and gullible public. How you thought this man could somehow evolve into something presidential....

    Lol, is anyone in politics innocent? Seriously? He is not a politician so that makes him more honest from the get go. One can conclude from the Anti Trump/Anti American rhetoric that you “may” be the true Russian propagandist.

    And then it went to, "well nobody is innocent."

    Really? Because other people have done bad things we shouldn't be concerned with the President doing them? LOL

    Whataboutism is the favorite Trump slogan. I actually talked about this today. Yes, plenty of politicians are dirty, but it doesn't excuse Trump. Trump also ran on draining the swamp, but he has always been part of the swamp. The only ones that aren't end up swallowed by it eventually or they lose. It sucks.

    I sincerely don't agree. I'm with @B-Bob on this, the essential thing is a full investigation and accounting for the interference perpetrated by the Russian government. If that implicates the president, fine; if it exonerates the president, fine. I'll take whatever, so long as it is the product of a full and credible investigation.

    Again I don't agree. The essential crime is the Russian interference. We know that happened, and only need to explore how deep, how wide, and how long. I hope the CIA, NSA, etc are quietly doing their part on the international espionage front. Mueller's front is to understand what Americans were complicit or compromised. That's not searching for a crime. We have a body and we have a shooter, we're just trying to figure out if this other guy was a getaway driver.

    So Trump is being framed by his own justice department? LOL.

    Don't be so gullible, Mick Fry.

    Yeah, @TheresTheDagger, I don't always see eye-to-eye with our friend Juan here, aside from our love of coffee, but this is really how I see it.

    It's interesting, in general, that the various bubbles now have completely different views of the investigation. I can only imagine the Fox type coverage of it. But for whatever reason, you see this whole thing as purely aimed to "get Trump" whatever that means, and that it's an exercise just trying to find a crime, any crime. I completely disagree with that outlook. And at least at the beginning, there was strong bipartisan support for the investigation as urgent and necessary. It's sad that a whole bunch of people simply don't want to know what happened, but it is what it is. That's where we're at.

    Comey/Yates look pretty smart targeting someone who would later justify their attention, right?

    Illegal framing of a President?

    The Courts have said that it needed to be investigated.

    The head of the FBI that was hand picked by the President said it was not a witch hunt.

    The Senate investigation, led by a Republican said that Russians colluded to help Trump win the election. That same head of the investigation ripped the House report.

    There really isn't any reasonable debate that the investigation has been justified and necessary regardless of what happens next.

    Having said that, it doesn't mean that Trump knowingly colluded with the Russians, it isn't an easy thing to prove and it very well may turnout that Muller's investigation concludes that the President didn't collude. No one knows at this point.
