I Don't care what the facts are *Frothing at the mouth* I DEMAND he be jailed because reasons.

God you stupid millennials are entitled brats.

You will get nothing of any substance that is suitable for impeachment. Keep making these stupid embarrassing scenes of yourselves and you might just enjoy another 4 years of the orange retard.

Like I said, he is going to use this 2 year investigation as ammo for his re-election

Lock her up?

While I disagree with the sentiment and substance of that post this is an assertion that just cannot be made without the actual report. Given that even Barr's memo couldn't state that Trump was exonerated from obstruction means there could be a case, especially for a political body where the standard isn't whatever the DOJ decides it is.

Like I said, he is going to use this 2 year investigation as ammo for his re-election

Absent an actual impeachment drive I sincerely doubt the utility of this. Most opinions of him are pretty hardened at this point for other reasons. His agenda, such as it was, is out of gas. There is nothing to sell the voting public on except what he claims they'll lose if he doesn't win again. This is not a super compelling position.

SDNY is the most real peril. He's not Individual-1 for nothing.

The dossier didn't bring down Trump like the Dems had hoped for. I guess the next step is trying their luck with the human version of the dossier, Cohen, to bring down Trump.

Honestly, I've never had too much faith that the Mueller report would result in some immediately impeachable offence (I had hope, but never faith). It was stupid for people to build it up as so. I do believe thought that Mueller has turned over a bunch of evidence and information to the NY AG and the Trump family is in trouble in that regard. The only thing that has ever matter, or will ever matter, is the 2020 election. That's our true hope of ending this bullshit.

On that we can entirely agree. One way or the other, the people should know. We know Russia interfered in our election, we have surely done that to others, so it might be somewhat hypocritical.. but we should care.
If we do care, we should demand that members of the Obama administration and the Democratic party be investigated for their parts in the "Russian interference".

I really hope we can see this in full... After all if this was just a nothingburger witch-hunt then there shouldn't be anything that needs to be redacted.

Then again, Trump lives and breathes off controversy. Might redact things just to keep the dogs barking even if it's overall meaningless.

I'm predicting that members of the Obama administration and other Democrats will start feeling the heat in the near future. They gambled with the Mueller investigation hoping at the very least it would force Trump to resign and now are trying an end around with the state of NY and the SDNY. Now, more and more evidence is coming to light showing the real perpetrators of obstruction and collusion and the media nor the DOJ will be able to cover it up. The Dems painted themselves into a corner by selling their base on Russia collusion and impeachment but will soon need to deliver. Desperation and smugness will bring the Dems down.

I suspected the campaign of collusion via oligarchs and other private citizens who were close to Putin and other government officials. And I think there were only a few bumbling attempts at coordination. But they (Trump, his kids and family and his collection of grifters) were all too terminally stupid to pull it off. And, being terminally stupid, they bragged about it and exaggerated and took credit loudly for criminal acts they didn’t even do (maybe). So even if they got off, they deserved every second of the ride. And the whole episode shows that corrupt villains flock to Trump like moths to a flame. It paints him as a malleable fool. And they are spinning this into a victory. Go figure...

I can see how it would be difficult for Mueller to make the case that association with private Russian citizens is the same as association with the Russian government. But I’m surprised he didn’t find a way to charge the Trump Tower meeting, because he seemed pretty adept at finding charges in the other branches of the case. I’m a little surprised he let it go, but charging Traitor Tot would’ve been like kicking a bear in the balls for no good reason except that a lot of people want to see that particular bear kicked in the balls. But I can understand not wanting to be the ball kicker. And the bear would just pardon his cub anyway and you’d have to deal with a lifetime of pissed off bear tweets.

At the end of the day it's always a political question, because Trump has obstructed justice. The fact that he does it publicly somehow obscures it, but it's obstruction of justice to say that the Justice Department investigation is just a bunch of Angry Democrats on a witch hunt, that Mueller was appointed illegally, that people shouldn't trust that an impartial investigation can exist. Even repeatedly insulting and belittling AG Sessions falls under that. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Mueller's full report mentions all this stuff, and then just points out that Trump is a complete asshole in all respects of his life and it would be hard to prove mens rea since he acts like this all the time anyway (the same logic as to why it's so hard to prove that Trump defames anybody).

Previous last post was 2013, I think

I agree something needs to be done about the old accounts.

The account doesn't meet your daily compulsive crap slinger fest or didn't parrot you so it must be banned? I'm sure it was an account created by a long idle Russian sleeper cell just waiting for the perfect time to post in P&N.

I would demand that you get a reverse lobotomy but I am no sure entropy works in that direction.

P&N accounts were compromised in 2013(?), someone help me in the details. Remember the forced password change?
We know the troll farm posts on social media and forums. This is a fact.

I’ll quote the person who said this on AT I’d give them credit but I forgot who it was:

If it waddles like a duck, quacks like a duck and it looks & swims like a duck.
It’s obviously a Bose Higgs particle.


For the record I do not think your account is compromised Brandon.

The Mueller investigation factually turned a profit. It cost nothing. It made money for the Feds. Why doesn't the fat turd in your tweet care about this indisputable truth?

Are you willing to be lied to like this? Does it not bother you?

$40 million? That's only two weekends for Traitor in Chief at his dillhole golf club in Florida, that you're paying for, asshole.

The government shouldn't be in the "investigation turning a profit" business. That is a silly notion.

Republicans bring up the topic, Democrats make the point, republicans move goal posts, Democrats roll eyes again.

Maybe republicans shouldn't argue from insincerity so often.

The purpose of Mueller’s investigation was not to turn a profit, it just so happens that he uncovered so much criminal activity by Trump’s campaign members that the forfeitures were greater than his total costs.

This is why complaining about the cost of Mueller’s investigation is a silly notion. It had a net negative cost to the US as his total costs were paid by the criminals he prosecuted.

And why haven’t they been addressed in the previous two years, why hasn’t the current justice department done something.
I keep hearing about all the horrible crimes Hillary committed but nobody charges her.
Are the current justice department and senate completely incompetent or is that just the usual bullshit we’ve come to expect?

The last of the traitorous Obama slime is being removed from the DOJ. Funny you don't acknowledge all the top DOJ officials that have been fired or demoted since the Mueller investigation started. People wanted to charge Hillary but Comey and others made sure to stop that.

1) Trump's campaign head was in debt to a Russian-backed Ukrainian and worked with a guy known to formerly work as a Russian intelligence agent.
2) The Trump campaign was somehow aware of Russian hacking of the DNC before anyone else in the world.
3) Friends of Trump were aggressively trying to get access to illegally acquired materials held by the Russian-supported Wikileaks.
4) Friends and family of Trump were messaging back and forth with Wikileaks about various things to do with timing and strategy.
5) Trump had a mega-million dollar business deal going with the Russian government while campaigning.
6) A guy known to be a Russian "useful idiot" worked for the campaign and went traipsing through Russia, meeting bigwigs, during the campaign.
7) Trump's son arranged a meeting with a person working for the Russian government, messaging that he hoped to use it in the campaign.
8) Trump's son-in-law and others in his orbit set up various meetings with Russians, trying to set up backchannels, as a first step after getting elected (and maybe before).
9) The high-ups in Trump's orbit had (have?) a habit of exchanges messages on Dust and trying to evade the Presidential Records Act and wiretaps.
10) Trump immediately tried to issue a command to drop sanctions as his first act in office.
11) Trump tried to interfere with intelligence investigations into Russian interference in the election, firing the head of the FBI - despite that guy helping him to land the job by making his opponent look dirty.

These are all true things that can be supported by Mueller's indictments or other reliable sources

We're seeing this shitty journalism today, as a political appointees (enabler) letter to Congress is being considered the same as the actual report..
