This case looks to be one of follow the money. What did the Russians promise trump/trump promise the Russians in exchange for inserting social media which swayed the vote?
Which leads into trumps taxes and financial records, which leads to Russian money laundering through Ross' bank.
THAT is going to take a LONG time to sort out. Likely up to the next election in 2020.
Can you imagine if the DOJ had done this kind of intense scrutiny on Hillary et al ??!!
Don't remember seeing armed FBI agents picking her locks and raiding her or her cohorts at 2 am.
In fact Comey never even personally interviewed her, and allowed the witnesses immunity and wouldn't take their computers and phones with the incriminating evidence and the secret tarmac meeting went unpunished and etc etc etc.
Colluding with a foreign government is far more serious than misused email servers, something multiple Trump administration members have already done (albeit to a lesser degree).
It's not about Clinton anymore. It's about Flynn, Manafort, Jr, and possibly Trump. We'll see when it's over.
Stop trying to de-rail threads to something that doesn't matter anymore. Collusion is something both sides of the political spectrum should be interested in seeing resolved, especially when most of the people behind the investigation and in a position to meaningfully push for it are Republicans themselves.
How long are we going to sit around while Robert Mueller investigates and follows every random spitball that might show someone who knows someone who knows someone who worked for Trump might have colluded with Russia?
Until the end.

It struck me that the FBI had been investigating this for the better part of a year before Comey was fired and Mueller was appointed.
And am I the only person still confused by what exactly Robert Mueller is supposed to be investigating? The President was told on three different occasions that he wasn't being investigated, so how is his replacing Comey tantamount to obstruction of justice? And if the FBI had found no reason to investigate Trump in seven months, how do they expect to tie him to this after the fact?
I just wish someone would acknowledge that this is a witch hunt and for everyone to worry that Trump wouldn't "accept the outcome of the election" when everybody was telling us it would be a landslide victory for Hillary, the Left has spent almost a year whining about Trump winning and looking for any and every excuse they can find to not "accept the outcome".
How many years did congressional Pubs "investigate" Benghazi?
There's your witch hunt.
With Russiagate, there's a fat 71 year old jumping up and down, waving his arms and screaming, "I'm a witch!"
It will end once Julian Assange testifies that the DNC hacking was really an inside job probably by Seth Rich. That's why they are stalling and not asking him to testify. He said he is ready any time.
This is BY FAR the funniest Mueller post I've seen on CD.

If Mueller can't find anything on President Trump, he will probably extend the investigation beyond the midterms so the cloud can hang over the midterms.
If the investigation ends before the midterms with President Trump cleared of all 'charges' then Republicans win the midterms by a landslide.

Gawdalmighty.
Mueller is investigating Russian interference in our last election and whether Americans were in cahoots with them.
Trump is not the focus of the investigation. The Russians are.
It depends upon what the FBI thinks there is to discover.
If investigators believe there is something to find, they will run discovery until they have enough evidence to take whatever steps they believe to be next.
It is important to note that this has likely been under agency scrutiny for years, and the only reason we the public even know about it is due to chance.
We are seeing only one very small part of a much larger operation. Russian tampering with the election may actually be something the FBI investigated but is only tangentially tied to whatever Mueller is working on.
Also worth noting: the presumption that this leads to a court for any kind of conviction is false. There are so many other actions that will result from the formal investigation, and we may literally never know about any of them.
Unless we see another data leak a la Snowden or Manning, this is classified state business, the internal nature of which is deliberately obscure.

Not about the left. It is being investigated by the FBI, a senate committee (chaired by the GOP) and a Congress committed (again chaired by the GOP).
The right are the ones sitting around and whining, using the investigation as an excuse as why they can get any laws passed.
It only took about 600 days for Watergate, not sure about Whitewater.
Mueller was appointed by The Justice Department this past May- not even 5 months ago. If history is an indicator, Mueller is still warming up.
