    After Mueller report, Twitter bots on the rise, pushing 'Russiagate hoax' narrative

    As social media platforms continue to prepare for the 2020 election,
    efforts to spread disinformation and sow discord remain an ongoing issue.
    ​
    These bots, however, did not appear to come from Russia. Instead, the bots had ties to a social media operation that previously pushed messages backing the government of Saudi Arabia and were connected to a person who claimed to be a private social media consultant, according to internet domain and account registration records. The bots, which were created last November and December, were pulled down by Twitter on Sunday night for breaking the social network’s rules against “manipulation,” the company said.

    The report explicitly states that Mueller has left the decision of obstruction up to Congress. Lindsey Graham is the worst kind of bootlicker. When it's convenient, he'll call Trump a racist bigoted moron.

    Even the last graham statement: "The president and administration overwhelmingly cooperated with the Mueller investigation." is an outright lie. trump refused to testify, but only agreed to respond in writing. And even then, refused to respond to any question regarding obstruction. And even then, responded in writing that he didn't remember over 30 times.

    Also, donald trump junior refused to testify.

    Almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. Mueller was not fired. Wanting to fire him is not an impeachable offense.

    It absolutely is. Especially when he gave the order twice and the only reason it didn't follow through was those around him refused to carry out the order.

    Intent. Plus knowledge of a proceeding (could include an informal investigation).

    Regardless of her public pronouncements, if the mistake-in-chief water carriers believe that Pelosi is not quietly working on articles of impeachment behind closed doors, then you continue to underestimate her political acumen.

    I'll add to the chorus. Attempting and failing to fire Mueller with the intent to impede the investigation would be obstruction.

    No. If you say you would like it if someone fires a gun at the president, but nobody does, then that is not a crime.
