    For someone who isn't guilty of colluding with Russia, he sure acts like someone who is guilty of colluding with Russia.

    "Trump stakes are the BEST stakes. Available only at the Sharper Image."

    Makes more sense now!

    Another interesting flurry of activity: Mueller announces grand juries, the White House is emptied, and the secret service abandon Trump Tower. Hmm... where are the conspiracy people at InfoWars now?

    This may prove to be important... and funny that emails again may prove to be Trump's downfall... the emails seem to support the belief that the SoHo condos were used as vehicles for money laundering. It also appears that the emails show that Trump and the main members of his family (Donald Senior, Donald Junior, Eric, and Ivanka) were aware of this and participated in meetings. If so, the Trump family including the now POTUS can be charged with fraud because they financially benefited from a criminal enterprise. This explains why Mueller is supposedly focused on financial dealings and why he added experts on RICO federal act.

    WHY ROBERT MUELLER HAS TRUMP SOHO IN HIS SIGHTS
    The Russian money trail leads right through the president’s troubled project in downtown Manhattan. A series of e-mails reveals new details.

    Could this investigation be expanded to the Obama admin?

    Does the former president and his wife own a condo at "trump SoHo?" If they do not, your post makes absolutely no sense at all, Astrodome.

    http://insider.foxnews.com/2017/08/...-russian-hacking-2014-judge-napolitano-reacts

    Judge Andrew Napolitano reacted to reports that President Obama knew about possible Russian meddling in American elections as far back as 2014.

    Napolitano said the news, from Politico, gives Special Counsel Robert Mueller cause to interview members of both the 44th and 45th presidents.

    "[There is] reason to believe President Obama was told about this in 2014 and couldn't decide what to do," Napolitano said.

    I am not saying Obama did anything wrong but asking the question if Mueller will spend time talking with his team as well.

    I put no credibility at all in the "Fox News Insider" crap, with all due respect. No wonder your political views are at odds with your glorious moniker, if this represents a sample of your typical news sources. Post something credible about the same topic and I'll read it. I might even have an opinion. I have no opinions about this nonsense. President Obama made a lot of mistakes. I complained here about several in the foreign policy sphere, and I'm certainly angry that he didn't act during the campaign when it would have mattered and exposed the extent of Russian interference in the 2016 elections. The source you posted and the call for an "investigation?" Give me a freakin' break. What crap, with all due respect. If anyone should "investigate" Obama's inaction when he had knowledge of Russian attempts to influence the election, it should be the Democratic Party. Director Mueller has the real investigation covered, in my opinion.

    Just saw your second post. I agree and assume Director Mueller will do exactly that.

    So the Trump line now is going to be anyone who knew that Russia was going to try and hack the US and meddle in our politics is guilty or equivalently as guilty as Trump who collided with Russian to help himself get elected? I knew Russia was going to try and hack America... guess Mueller should investigate me too.

    Involving Obama into false equivalency or co-guilt is such a lazy excuse for a conspiracy theory.

    Yes... Obama helped Russia plant stories s about Obama being a demon and helped keep Clinton out of the White House because she would ... continue his policies??... makes total sense.

    Even Fox can do better than that. You'd be better off pursuing more Benghazi investigations.

    Obama was warned as far back as 2012 about Russia.

    A few things...

    1. Why does knowing about Russians trying to interfere in our elections from a president who is briefed daily and doesn't need his briefs reduced to noe paragraph make something worthy of investigation? That is especially questionable logic since Obama actually did things to combat Russia.

    2. If people don't mind wasting the tax dollars interviewing people who haven't done anything suspicious, then fine. It wouldn't be a problem for people in those administrations to be interviewed. They haven't lied about their contacts with the Russians

    3. Judge Andrew Napolitano is a joke.

    Because Obama and team met with Russian to ensure a trump victory. He still hate Clinton from their primaries runoff about 10 years ago.

    Just because it needs to be said ...

    Hillary emails!!! Benghazi!!

    Hillary conspire with the Benghazians to get Trump to collude with the Russians so that the North Korean can get their nukes on.

    Thus, this is all Obama's fault, since he is Muslim born in Kenyan and by definition a traitor.
