Possible FARA case. Now that it's Dems, how will the right spin this? Is it still a witch hunt with 13 angry Democrats? Such a conundrum...

Your point is exactly what I was thinking when I read this. If Mueller is only running a witch hunt , aimed at Republicans, how can this be that a couple of Democrats were also under investigation ?

But you know what the right will do, they will say that Mueller just threw in a couple of Democrats to make it "look" like he was being unbiased and fair. However, the reality is, Mueller is looking for law breakers, whether they were on the right or left, the man is blind to anything but seeking the truth.

I doubt you've even met Mueller, let alone worked with him.
Nobody on this entire forum knows what Mueller is thinking and what his true motives are.
Not only that, but sometimes motives change.....and regularly.
Mueller could be Ted Bundy, and nobody would necessarily have a clue.

While this is good news, if he is seeking truth, then HRC needs to be questioned about her involvement since she was the SoS during some of the time Manafort and the Podestas were working in the Ukraine and John Podesta worked for her foundation and campaign. She also needs to be questioned over paying for the dossier. If none of that ever happens he isn't seeking any true justice and what you said would be correct, the Podesta Brothers were just a sacrificial lamb.

No indication the inquiry will result in charges. Slightly different than the normal narrative, dont ya think?

I still think this investigation needs to be wrapped up,unless there are some real charges coming down.

Well then, let's talk about your logic there for a minute. Have YOU ever met Donald Trump , or worked for him ? If not, how do YOU know what HIS thinking and true motives are ? Trump could be Charlie Manson, and no one would have a clue.


What say you about that ?

Mueller is widely regarded as tough on all criminality, irrespective of their political affiliation, by members of both parties. He was lauded by both sides when he was appointed. He is following the trail of evidence and referring evidence of wrongdoing to the SDNY when it falls outside of his remit. If Tony Podesta or any Democrat committed a crime, I hope to see them prosecuted along with those already indicted.

Mueller is doing exactly what he should be doing, despite the partisan hysteria from sycophantic Trumpists. Anyone who cares about the rule of law should just let him keep his head down and work.

Agreed. And I'm not hearing any Dems complaining about his latest referrals. We have to trust the process.

sure are going to be a lot of angry Democrats when this all shakes out. Mueller will do nothing but send a report to the DOJ when this is over. Repubs will have a big laugh, Dems will be calling Mueller a traitor. LMAO
