    You could just Google it before you post. Try maybe 'Mueller team Democrats'. You'd save yourself the embarrassment.

    Did it for u:

    https://www.nationalreview.com/2018/05/robert-mueller-russia-probe-democrats-dominate-staff/

    Mueller’s 17 prosecutors resemble a local Democratic club.

    • 14 are Democrats
    • Three are party-unaffiliated
    • None is a Republican
    • Twelve are Democratic donors
    • One also is a Republican donor
    • Two maxed out as Hillary Clinton donors

    Mueller himself is a registered Republican and worked under 2 Republican presidents as head of the FBI. He also has an impeccable reputation, yet you think he somehow "baked" his report by packing his team with Democrats? You are desperately searching for some reason to defame his report because it tells the truth about your hero.

    You are incapable of embarrassing me.

    Never said any such thing and also never used the word baked so I'm not sure why its in quotes. I responded to DD who claimed the investigation was bias.

    You just embarrased yourself again.

    Stop posting for the night and go to sleep.

    Baked was in quotes because it was used as an expression. I wasn't describing baking cookies. Go back to school. I was responding to one of your posts.

    Can't reply to Mueller's impeccable reputation and the fact that he is not only a Republican, but served under 2 Republican presidents? By all means, let's make the Mueller Report about punctuation. You can't defend trump without appearing to be a fool, with all respect due. The report is utterly damning. I am looking forward to seeing what Barr, "trump's attorney," redacted.

    Don't be obtuse. You posted this...

    • 14 are Democrats
    • Three are party-unaffiliated
    • None is a Republican
    • Twelve are Democratic donors
    • One also is a Republican donor
    • Two maxed out as Hillary Clinton donors

    Which insinuates there is some level of bias in the report. Post what facts are biased.

    Is it biased that Trump ordered his subordinates to lie and obstruct justice?

    In response to DD claiming the report is biased for Republicans. I didn't say it was bias to dems. Read for ****s sack and stop being an ass.

    You're being obtuse again. You should read your own link. Is it biased that Trump ordered subordinates to lie and obstruct justice?

    I never claimed the report was biased. DD CALLED IT BIAS. I said it's not biased. I would call it selective.

    Your link calls it hyperpartisan. What facts on Trump's behavior were excluded from the report? Did Trump order subordinates to lie and obstruct justice?

    It calls Mueller team hyperpartisan. If 14 out of 17 are registered dems, that's by definition hyperpartisan.

    Muellers mandate was to investigate Russia meddling in the election, not 'trump's behavior' so I have no idea what this question means.

    No idea if the story is true or not.

    Hyperpartisan, by definition, means its biased broseph


    Russian mandate and related crimes. Trumps behavior was a related crime.

    Of course you know its true.

    So the fact that Mueller basically spelled out that Trump obstructed justice but since the DOJ’s policy is that you can’t indict a sitting president he was going to leave it to Congress to decide what happens isn’t concrete? Or the many many contacts that people associated with Trump had with Russians where evidence was conveniently deleted so that witness stories couldn’t be corroborated also isn’t concrete?

    Calling it a dud is essentially ignoring reality and is honestly embarrassing.

    I wonder if a sitting president is a criminal if he ordered his people to kill but they refused to carry out the order. Do you then wonder what was his intent? Did he not truly want to kill? I laugh at not just this but the general rationalization of trump horrid behaviors of all kinds over the past two years. A better defense is trump is mentally ill. Heck, i even buy that defense. Dude is crazy.

    He pled guilty to lying to the FBI conducting an investigation. You can pretend like crimes don't matter, but he pled guilty to a crime. Furthermore, had some of the others involved not left the nation, it might have been even worse for him.
