Time for someone to "leak" the Mueller report.
The whole thing.
Let the chips fall where they may.
It's clear 45 is trying to hide his culpability.
"Mr. Transparency" is guilty AF.
Just wondering... Trump keeps calling this investigation a 'witch hunt', with the implied meaning that the process will not only come up empty, but in fact will prove nothing more than a Democrat-run smear campaign against his good image. Can he still claim it's a witch hunt if, as a result of the investigation, some witches have been caught and are now facing prison time? An innocent person would want the report released (especially if it proves there was no collusion, as Barr insists is true) to clear the air. But, just as with his tax returns, Donald of Orange is guilty as charged, and is playing every desperate card in his greasy deck to avoid being exposed as the corrupt, thieving dictator-wannabe he has shown himself to be...He will still be denying it as the prison van takes him away...
I have absolutely no hopes anymore . We are going to eat that shit and somehow for another 4 years too . Nothing is gonna happen to this asshole . I am already thinking the worse . I don't think dictators let go off their grip . I wonder if elections going to change in the near future .
i hope Mueller is allowing the process to play out where his public release of the report, ensures that all parties responsible had their chance and passed, thereby making them culpable and his release of the report justifiable and the responsible act. he might even do this thru the congressional committee that requested the investigation to begin with. by the book, kinda.
Technically, he's still a DoJ employee, and still takes his marching orders from the AG.
I'd like to see the scenario you've suggested, play out. I really would.
I have no hope of it happening, but I'd like to see it.
I blame Meuller. He needed to man up, take and keep control and do what he was supposed to do. I've had about enough of all this hero worship of Mueller. All the things he was supposed to be investigating, the financials etc, and in the end, nothing. Trump, no interview. Don "Fredo" Jr, no interview. No finding. No statement, nothing. And still they are hoping he'll come out and reverse Trump's suppression of the report through his lackies. Well, don't hold your breath. It might all come out in the end but by then it'll be too late. For two years Meuller has been attacked, insulted, abused, accused of every kind of misdeed by Trump and cronies, and he's taken it like a wuss. What's wrong with the man?
Agreed. I'm sorely disappointed in Mueller. For someone who's been lauded as such a "stand-up guy", he punked out. He hedged on everything, and made it possible for Barr and 45 to dodge.
Initially, I had such hopes. As it got closer to the time when the investigation started wrapping up, and watching 45 maneuvering, my hope started to wain.
Turns out, it's going to be damned near impossible to get 45 out.
He wasn't authorized to look into that stuff, which is why he sent stuff to the Southern District of NY, and the states. He was only to look at collusion and obstruction.
@David1955 No it is not. Pay attention to what every former prosecutor has said about how this works. What he could put in that report had to be very specific to obstruction and collusion. The other stuff he found he farmed out. It was very smart on Mueller. If he puts that in the report Barr just says it is out of bounds and buries it, never to be seen again.
@Sticks48 All that will achieve is years of legal games. If he wins the 2020 election the statue of limitations will take care of that, and it'll be too late as his descruction of the US will be complete. Mueller could have done a great deal more but chose not to. As to why, well I have my suspicions but history may eventually tell us.
I am stunned it has not already happened.
Truthfully, so am I.
With all the people capable of hacking, you'd think someone would use
their powers for good, in this case.
I think someone will fall on their sword for this country...many want to do the right thing...but look at others who also thought they were doing the "right" thing...they are in jail, in other countries, or dead...
I don't trust that anyone will "fall on their sword".
If that was going to happen, it would have already.
It's going to take republicans turning against 45.
Face it, they're too fucking spineless to do what's right.
@KKGator I think most of the "leaks" have been those with conscience...
@thinktwice Not enough.
Not nearly enough.
I've been thinking the same thing.....
It pisses me off soooooo bad to listen to Jim Jordan - funny thing how when they hounded and persecuted Hilliary for 4 damn years it was called "congressional oversight" and they would have been remiss in not doing their job. Now that Nadler's doing it, they are hemorrhaging from every orifice and calling it a witch hunt. I'm so sick of the blatant hypocrisy I could puke.
Could not possibly agree with you more.
well put...
blatant hypocrisy is what repubs do best. They certainly don't know how to Govern!!!
I was just thinking that. There is no way that report will stay secret. Drumpf has made such a fool of himself. What could he possibly be afraid of?
I don't think the full report will give much more than we already know - it will just "flesh it out" better. The 13 or 14 points that have already been made to constitute obstruction is enough for congress to move forward. But I agree - timing is everything. They need to listen to Nancy - her instincts are sound.
@Lavergne I think it will name more names, close friends and family of trump besides Jared.
@Katsarecool yes - deranged Donnie is really scared about his kids being drug into all of this. As well they should be....
