    I thought we were supposed to be patient when dealing with this report. I guess that ship has sailed.

    Imagine how many other things you could have read up on and debated if you didn't spend time on this pointless PR stunt. Imagine the mountain of micro stress you could have avoided. You guys are playing roles in the most predictable soap opera of all time.

    I have to agree. When a prosecutor can't find enough evidence to be willing to even try an indictment, the case against you is pretty damn weak. Mueller's role was not to weigh the case and either exonerate or condemn the president; his job was to figure out if any indictment could be brought. Not finding one is tantamount to an exoneration.

    My one caveat being that he's a law enforcement agent and not a political agent. So, there may be things that are worth an impeachment that are not worth an indictment. Only Congress could decide that. The unfortunate side of using a SC under the DOJ for this work is that an exoneration in the regular criminal sense pretty much insulates Trump from political second-guessing of his guilt. If Schiff investigates this further, he's going to get beat over the head with the Mueller findings. That perhaps means we let Trump get away with murder (metaphorically) in the end. But for me it means the end of hoping for any impeachment at all and looking now toward the 2020 election to fix our mistake. I worry that politics are going to get pretty extreme though.

    What if they get a presidential pardon? After all, they're just innocent victims of a witch hunt.

    Actually, that 420-0 vote was in the House of Representatives. It was blocked by lindsey graham in the senate.

    I wish we could run the numbers on this thread. I would guess that a particular member posted 1000 times in this thread. Maybe 2000 if we are being accurate.

    Seems I have been here since 2002. You have been here since 2014. And we have the same number of posts. The only other poster with that volume of posts was btg. Say, that's a coincidence...

    wow, doubling down on me. @NewRoxFan , you should consider taking a break from the derangement syndrome, honestly. I swear you're going to be like one of those Japanese holdout soldiers fighting in the jungles after World War II for decades after the war was over. Seriously, bro, get a life. Get outside. Get some fresh air.

    Heh... every anti-trump tweet? Trust me, I filter out the really anti- tweets. You should see the Krassenteins... they are the left versions of james woods and bill mitchell.
