Nonsense. Any evidence that the Trump team colluded with the Russians to influence our elections will lead to felony indictments. Election fraud is a criminal offense every day of the week.

I agree! This is a good pick.

Bring it!

Yee Haw. Let the revelations begin. Wonder if Trump can resist a Twitter rampage today?

The usual deflections, doesn't matter Mueller will get the truth. He isn't here for leaks, if that were true we would need a permanent special prosecutor in every administration. The unmasking is just nonsense.

I'm surprised Dems don't realize this undercuts WaPo's daily fake sources and it's going to get boring for a while. They have to drum up a new scandal.

Unlike those that have Zero Assets .. those who use and take advantage of laws to HIDE their assets, and launder money will be actually held accountable. Today is not like the 70's/'80's/90's// It's a lot easier to trace $$ internationally than back in the day. including DARK $$ and SHELL Corporations!! This case will blow past investigations OUT of the water on the Depth and Breadth of how Uber Rich have abused Capitalism!! Hope they get taken to the cleaners!!

You first need to understand that this appointment is not a Special Prosecutor.


Here is a good article explaining what a Special Counsel is and how the two are different.

Note: Many media outlets have already made the mistake of claiming that this is the appointment of a Special Prosecutor.

I don't really know this guy yet but at least we are getting someone to look at all this from the out side. He was voted in as FBI director for Bush with 98% support so that's a plus.

Probably won't be able to because Trump will fire this guy too and try to declare himself dictator for life.
