I'm in the "other" column. Benghazi was investigated for 28 months without one single indictment, and was investigated longer than 911, Watergate, the JFK assassination, and Pearl Harbor.
Mueller has been investigating for a little over two years with multiple convictions and more to go. It needs to conclude on it's own timeline. We deserve the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

The Special Counsel investigation was authorized on May 17, 2017, so it actually is just a couple days short of 18 months at this point.

Only if it's a corrupt Democrat. Do as Dems say , not as they do.

I'd like to see a balanced approach. Don't just start flipping out as soon as democrats take over in January and begin raining down investigations and subpoenas. It will make dems look desperate and biased

I'm okay with a few specific, narrow in scope investigations. Trump's tax returns, Trump's firing of Comey & Sessions, and Trump's possible campaign finance law violations with paying off a p0rn star and Playboy model that he had sex with. Start with those three investigations and see what happens.

However, if both House democrats and Donald Trump can all act like adults, even though Trump is being investigated, hopefully he will still be able to work with democrats on policies that will help the American people. But we've already seen Donald Trump last week say that if dems investigate him, he will shut down and not work with them on anything. You know, because Trump is a man-child with the maturity level of a 6th grader.

What? Hesitate to investigate possible crimes because of how the alleged criminal might react?? Can you imagine our justice system if it worked that way? We always hear about how strong and fearless the gun-toting law and order reps are, but then I read more and more things like this.

Hopefully the new AG will go after Clinton and the DNC collusion with Fusion GPS.

So you think the laws should be different for different people? Interesting.

Cold cases get solved sometimes. We shall see. There is an ongoing investigation into the Clinton Foundation.

I think the Dems realize they have to legislate as well. They don't want to look like they're just going after Trump all the time. That will not play well for 2020.

Hmmm?
You.... dont know anything.

All of the intelligence used in the decision to go to war was collected during the clinton administration and compiled and furnished to the president by clintons DCI.

And before the war started Dick Cheney and his wife signed a contract deeming that 100% of any increase in his halliburton stock holdings due to war contracts would be donated to charity.

The man is a virtual saint.
