In fact there is a lawsuit to release Hillary's sample indictments, so they could very well be made public someday.

I think it was pretty clear i was talking about Bill, and i think you knew that ,but wanted to find some weak sauce angle to attack my post.

funny enough you steered clear of the primary points of my post.

Ken starr and other Republicans investigated the clintons over many years despite finding NOTHING on the clintons year after year after year..... it took them about 6 years of investigating BIll to finally get him lying over the exact nature of an affair....



so the crying and whining on this thread about Mueller taking too long etc is pure partisan BS. You guys were fine with endless investigating Bill Clinton for much of his two terms.

Cool story, now let me remind you of the 4-6 years of Ken starr and his buddies investigating Bill Clinton...
they started with Whitewater and ended 6 years later with a completely unrelated case ref Bill lying over an affair.

The thread title is, "When Trump Fires Mueller, What Will Happen?"




Andrew McCabe, James Comey, Robert Mueller, Rod Rosenstein, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Andrew Weissmann, et. al., are/have been directly involved in the Trump-Russia collusion investigation, no?


That makes their actions, biases and ethical challenges very relevant to the Trump-Russia collusion investigation and makes past investigations by the same partisan witch hunters worthy of a second look.

But there is a crime.

The Russians meddled in the free election of a republic. Everyone agrees on this. It is the equivalent to an act of war.

The investigators are following up on leads, some of which implicate the Trump campaign. Then there is the need to find probable cause, ie: the motive.

The fact that Trump has tried to block the investigation makes things worse, now we need to know why he wants to block the investigations on top of everything else.

If the investigations would just proceed unimpeded the innocent will have nothing to fear. The guilty however, would very likely try to block any investigations.

If I were you, I wouldn't pay any attention to the sniveling about long this is taking.

We all know that if Clinton was POTUS, Republicans in Congress would be investigating any accusation or nutball conspiracy nonsense flogged by Fox no matter what the time or cost.

If the roles were reversed and Hillary was under investigation would you feel comfortable with Jeff Sessions, Rudy Giuliani, Steve Bannon & a team of "lock her up!", Trump donors investigating her?
Pretty much the dictionary definition of a witch hunt.

The only crime that Trump has been proven guilty of is being a political outsider that won an election that he wasn't supposed to win.

The constantly changing stories doesn't help matters any.

Actually everyone does not agree on this and you do not get to decide what is equivalent to an act of war no more than I do.

The Mueller investigation "is falling apart"? Funny how Trumpers think they know the details of Mueller's investigation. It's sad, really, how ignorant they are about how government works, about what "truth" means. They would sell this nation to the Russians if Trump told them to. In their world, not one criticism of Trump is allowed. They cannot bear the thought that they were conned by him (although New Yorkers, who've witnessed his antics for decades, tried to warn them), so dig in their heels, hold their nose, and insist that they were correct in voting for him. Moral courage is in short supply among Trump voters.
