You have to have cause. Now they do.

It's the law?

We don't know why DOJ brass was meeting with Glenn Simpson of Fusion GPS. There are a lot of unanswered questions. When Rosenstein is fired maybe his replacement fires Mueller. There has to be consequences for failing to properly vet the investigators and for all the leaks.
Yep... the anti-Trumpers don’t want to admit it but the investigation is already deeply flawed... and they HATE it...

odd you think Mueller is at it too long? i wonder if it is just because you don't like rather than any facts based reason....as to corruption, again and again i have to remind posters like you of some simple facts.

1 if the left has done something illegal, ask yourself which party can open any and as many investigations as they like? is it the Rs or the Ds.

2 contact judicial watch, they will bring any and all civil cases you can dream up and they will lobby any left wing corruption you can find.

3 you guys control all 3 branches 100% and have the power to bring charges, investigate and pretty much anything within the law...

That couldn't be further from the truth.

Every WhiteWater insider (except two, Bill, and Hillary) were prosecuted, and went to prison. There was more than enough to indict Hillary on obstruction, withholding evidence, and lying to federal agents, and there were sample indictment drawn up for Hillary. In fact there is a lawsuit to release Hillary's sample indictments, so they could very well be made public someday.

Again, how is it flawed and how is it imploding?

guilty pleas over things that have nothing to do with Russian collusion or impeachable offenses for Trump




every single "bombshell" that showed that Trump apparently colluded with Russia ended up falling flat

I already told you, they are refusing to comply with subpoenas, including subpoenas for information on members of Mueller's with clear anti-Trump bias.

I know a Moore win is unpalatable for a lot of us but you have to think long term. It might be painful for a time but tbe payoff is enormous!
Yep. Let this miscreant get elected, and let him and Trump forge an alliance that will show the nation their true colors. Same goes for Trump firing Mueller, which would force moderate Republicans to kneel to him and split the Party further. That could actually be one of the best things to happen - because it would produce a landslide anti-Trump, anti-Republican voter reaction in 2018 and 2020. If those things come to pass, Trump's only chance in 2020 would be to work with Russia to corrupt the election process in some way. They did a better than fair job in 2016 so that is far from impossible.

Alright, let's start at the top. First off, I was a teenager when Bill Clinton was President, and I cared very little about politics. I know the things seemed to go well during his time as President, so I liked Bill Clinton. But I can tell you this. Had I been old enough to care, I would have felt the same way about the investigation of Clinton. Because you see, you proved my point. Four to six year investigation which yielded nothing truly substantial. I know some might argue the Lewinsky debacle was a big time deal, but in the larger scheme of things it wasn't. That investigation should never have been allowed to go on for that amount of time. Either get to work and produce some REAL evidence or maybe it's time to call the game.


You say odd I think Mueller is at it too long. I say it's odd that after this much time you aren't at least wondering a little if maybe we're looking at another dead end investigation like the one you mentioned. I mean sure, we're only coming up on 1 year at this point. But will you feel different when we hit 2? Or even 3? Or will you still be doggedly standing by telling people "it's coming, the evidence is coming, we're gonna get him!" So you can wonder about my motives all you want. What I expect and demand is a competent investigation which yields tangible evidence in a some what timely manner. In a case like this, where this major conspiracy and crime is alleged to have occurred, you would think a man like Mueller could pretty quickly gather some proof to present the American people with. Of course, I could be wrong. There's always that chance. However, I just feel like we would have seen something real by now. And I can't help but think that maybe you were expecting something to have been revealed by now too. Something real anyway.


Pertaining to your listed #1- Yeah, sure the Repubs could do that. And face the immediate full frontal assault of every major news network in America for doing it. Which is why the Republicans won't be doing anything like this unless they really have something to go on.


Pertaining to listed #2- I don't sit around and try to "dream up" anything. Way to busy working for that.


Pertaining to listed #3- I don't see what the control comment was supposed to prove. I'm pretty sure that same power extends to those in the minority party as well. Or anyone for that matter with some real proof of wrong doing. And many irons are currently in the fire in regards to investigations, special counsels, etc. So yes, you are absolutely right about the options.
