We've gone from no meetings with Russians whatsoever to the President can't be guilty of obstruction of justice because he's the president and thus above the law.

This entire joke of an investigation is a partisan witch hunt and a sham. Trump's "crime" was winning the election. Period, end of story.

Lol, speedy. They knew about those things from the get-go, with one from an Obama admin investigation.

Why would a 'jury rigging a boat' have to do with anything? Why would a 'jury rig a boat' to begin with?

Almost like Hillary hiring an English spy to get info from Russians, except, Hillary is the only one that walked away with information, fake info though.

And, the Trump team kept telling him they weren't interested.

Can't speak for cueball, but I will accept the results. And I will refrain from bringing it up in any and all political discussions for the next 20 years.

Be careful what you wish for, you may just get it...
What we are wishing for is the dissolution of the GOP entirely, and the remnants scattered around the globe where they can never get back together to destroy America. Trump is well on his way to doing the job for us.

It may not be a complete cure, but it will surely help us along the path to becoming whole again.

This article was quoted before.

Donald Trump Is Guilty – Foreign Policy

Very interesting is the last part:

A recent Washington Post article on the Mueller team ended with a revealing vignette: “People familiar with the Mueller team said they convey a sense of calm that is unsettling. ‘These guys are confident, impressive, pretty friendly — joking a little, even,’ one lawyer said. When prosecutors strike that kind of tone, he said, defense lawyers tend to think: ‘Uh oh, my guy is in a heap of trouble.’” Contrast the special counsel’s calmness with the flop-sweat evident on Trump’s Twitter account: He is desperately trying to distract attention from his own worsening legal situation by impugning “Crooked Hillary” and even the FBI. Naturally, he shows no awareness of how unseemly it is to trash a defeated political opponent or the very law enforcement officers he is sworn to lead.

The contrast is telling, and, for Trump’s dwindling band of defenders, it should be deeply discomfiting: the confident prosecutors, building their case piece by piece against the panicked president lashing out at all directions because he is terrified that he will be found guilty of colluding with a hostile foreign power to undermine American democracy.

That must be why Chief Bad Rug is laughing so much lately. Not to mention Manfaort, Gates, Papadopoulos, McFarland, and Flynn. They know they have Mueller right where they want him.

"Ha." they said. "Ha Ha."

BTW - Pence is in the crosshairs, now. Get ready for more belly laughs tomorrow.

Finally a Trump support who GETS THE BIG PICTURE--
Actually you ARE right--because Trump won the election with the direct help of the Russian government--
And that IS a crime...
