    Tallanvor is using the same play he has been using for years.

    -Act dense and approach the topic with simple questions
    -Try and narrow the scope to only what's in the basic questions, attempting to ignore anything else.
    -Try and find "disqualifiers" for any contradictory points, as a reason to ignore to valid evidence.
    -Try and form a logical conclusion in the narrowly defined scope, that meet his tribe's preferred narrative.

    Nowhere in the entire back and forth on Obstruction, does he actually talk about Obstruction. Its all disqualifiers.

    He laughably predictable and a total fraud.

    The Mueller report details communications she had where she indicated she could pass information from the Russian government to the Trump team to help select the next Secretary of State.

    But sure, just an innocent college girl trying to make the world a better place.

    Fortunately, work is slow and I got time to deal with this typical conservative playbook.

    Talk about brazen. Bill Barr really has completely sold out his integrity. I hope it was worth it.

    This is part of what helps create the stonewall on these investigations at this point. Why would anyone flip? The Justice Department has their back.

    I bet Rick Gates is kicking himself.

    No...... this is not accurate.

    She is lucky to only be looking at months in jail and having her ass sent back home.

    I find it odd that you think what the Mueller did is "disgusting" but as an American you seem to have no issues with the conduct of the President of the United States as illustrated by his own subordinates in the Mueller Report.

    It sucks, the GOP will do whatever they can to stonewall past 2020.

    Absolutely and it is WORKING..... and it is having a marginal effect on the President's election hopes at this point. Yes, he has fallen a few more points..... but his supporters for the most part have not budged.

    Have they gotten all out of her as needed? Is this just a move to avoid her testifying?
    So, from your own post:

    There's no way to really know. I'd be that Congress would like to get more information on the redacted sections about her suggesting that the Trump team was open to Russia's input on the next Secretary of State though. They'll never get to ask her about it.

    Not sure why that evokes laughter. The FBI Director is supposed to be autonomous from the President (and with good reason) even though the President is ultimately able to fire him. So, asking for loyalty is a veiled threat that if you do not surrender your autonomy you'll be fired. Considering Comey was relying on this autonomy to investigate the president for crimes, it looks tantamount to a threat that he'd be fired if he didn't drop the investigation. Which ultimately happened. Sounds pretty strong to me.

    Much like a crime boss, Trump didn't want his own fingerprints on it, so he tried to have other people do it. If he was willing to dispense with plausible deniability, sure he could have fired Mueller. Which also would have been obstruction, given his motivations for doing it.

    Didn't Butina plead guilty? Didn't she admit that she could act on behalf of the Russian govt. and get them access to U.S. policy makers?

    Why would anyone defend her?

    You would if you are...

    Her lawyer. The Russian government. The Russian gov sympathizer. And perhaps American that are too easily fooled by a talented and beautiful lady, who the judge said is "sophisticated" and "dangerous” who was collecting information for Russian gov. That includes her “victims”. Read her own account... she doesn’t defend herself as not being an agent of Russia, but claimed ignorance to the law... that she must register as one.

    You already know the answer to that question. It's the same question that's been asked of the entire trump administration. The right simply quit caring about "right and wrong". "Owning the libs" is the only important thing now.
