True, but to have Mueller pick them to be on his team wasn't the brightest thing he could do, he should have been a bit more careful in his vetting, just like Trump should have been.


While I’m not an FBI agent my guess is outside of egregiously bad optics like the agents he removed from the team, his primary goal in selecting his team was the best performance. Political litmus tests were way down on his list.

I dont get it, Tillerson is still around and he called Trump a moron to his face, sort of.
Is it a fireable offence to tell the truth?

Where else in the world can a guy get fired for doing his job with ruthless efficiency, attention to detail, dogged determination and all at the highest levels of proficiency and professionalism?

Oh yeah, in the contorted and surreal surroundings of The Trump World of course.

Sorry, i'll link to whom i damn well please.

Fine then! See if I give a care! LOL, go to it little fella! I however will not subject my eyes to anything you link from Fox State Run Media. I do declare! We appear to be at a stalemate in this. I politely asked you not to be a prick. You Very Clearly stated you're incapable or whatever it is you said. Good talk!

Too bad you're such a failure. Though I didn't believe it possible there was still a small part of me that hoped that you not only wanted to be a better person but that you'd actually give it a whirl... is failure the correct word if you never even tried... never even intended to? How about under-achiever? Unmotivated, because being sucky pays off? Maybe just Trumpublican-ish? Yup, that'll do. It says it all and none of it good. Bad tajjy! Go sit in a corner or something, ya might just be too ugly to face the world. Ya poor thing.

He hasn't been fired at all, much less for "doing his job".

So members of Mueller’s team have leaked that they expect to be working through much of 2018 at a minimum. I wonder if Trump's lawyers will possibly use this as a way to pacify the dotard i.e. say they negotiated down to half the time.

When are republicans going to start investigating SecState, SecDef, and Chief of Staff for calling Trump a fucking moron, an idiot, and a simpleton? Obviously this is bias and a clear anti-trump agenda!

Guess what, fools: Sometimes, a fucking idiot is just an idiot. A criminal is, well, a fucking criminal. If investigators are using such language, they are simply stating what they know. Nothing more, nothing less. None of this reflects on their ability to do their jobs professionally, and you goddamn know it. You might as well walk around the office with thought police monitors latched to your brain, preventing from expressing anything about your bosses and colleagues, if you actually believe the nonsense talking points you have latched onto here like thoughtless, rabid mongrels.

He's an idiot if he does...

Morell: So, let’s talk about what I think the possibilities are, going forward. So, I would not be surprised if Bob Mueller concludes that the Trump campaign did not violate the law with regard to its interactions with the Russians. I’m really open to that possibility. Why? Because, as you know, The New York Times, The Washington Post, every media outlet that is worth its salt has reporters digging into this, and they haven’t found anything.
And I think that, had there been something there, they would have found something. And I think Bob Mueller would have found it already and it would have leaked.
So, I’m really open to the possibility that there’s no there there on a crime being committed by the campaign and the Russians. Right? That interaction leading to criminal charges.

The second point I’d make is that I wouldn’t be surprised if there were single individuals who were associated with the campaign who violated the law with respect to their interactions with the Russians on the election. Paul Manafort comes to mind. I think he has little to no integrity. There’s no way you spend that much time with the old Ukrainian government and not bump up against Russian intelligence officers a lot.
I wouldn’t be surprised if there were single individuals who faced criminal charges here with regard to their interactions with the Russians, and Paul Manafort’s a possibility. But that’s different than a conspiracy by the campaign, right?

but hey maybe the CIA likes to hire crazy people for acting directors...

I think it's funny that you actually believe he's going to be fired. The hysteria is strong with you and your ilk.

Being clear, I don't think the people (Kelly) around Trump will allow it. I do think it's possible in the future and it's an interesting talking point at the moment.
If it doesn't happen by the end of the year do you want an apology for listening to rumors?

No apologies will be needed...the gut-wrenching laughter when this insanity is exposed and eventually rationalized by the believers in this rumor will be more than enough for me. Deranged hacks don't apologize well anyway.

It's gonna happen guys.


Ask yourself the question "Will Trump do this incredibly stupid and dangerous and destructive thing that he has threatened to do?"


Of course he will! Like the scorpion, it's in his nature to do the most stupid thing possible.

Nice quote there, Tweedledummy:
Holder is urging the weak-minded to take to the streets if Mueller is fired. What about if Mueller steps down or if the latest rumor is true and Mueller exonerates Trump? You guys ready to tear some shit up? Destroy some cars, some businesses? Probably would be more pleasant if it was warmer but all that rage is going to require some kind of release. You all seem to be on edge right now what with the 0bama agenda getting scuttled on a pretty much daily basis.

James Taylor singing "You've got a Friend" ain't gonna sooth the savage beast inside of you guys.

Why do you keep doing this to yourself? :D

Wait I’m confused, is Mueller an evil democratic plant conducting a coup or is he exonerating Trump? It seems impossible to believe both of those things at the same time yet we have people like boomerang. I guess to carry on with his 1984 references (even though he didn’t understand the book) this seems like a great example of doublethink.

Im shocked that people actually think Trump will be impeached. It's his party now. He is untouchable.

That's what I don't get. I can't imagine the GOP standing up to Trump no matter what he does. Even if he got Mueller fired, I think the GOP would back him. Hell, they're the ones pushing for him to be removed in the first place. They're the ones stalling their Congressional investigation that they clearly don't even want to do. So what? Trump gets Mueller fired and maybe we see a Democrat wave in 2018 and maybe take the WH in 2020? Great, just in time for the tax cuts to fully torpedo our economy and for them to blame Democrats exactly like happened in 2009. GOP back to playing obstructionist deficit hawks.

It's important to realize just how long it took the GOP to turn against Nixon even though he was clearly a criminal. The most likely outcome that leads to impeachment is the Democrats win the House in 2018 and start investigating the shit out of Trump. I think we all know just how much corruption and dirt they are likely to uncover, which is what would lead to impeachment.
