His team consisted of around 20 of the best prosecutors of corruption and organized crime. You obviously don't like the results so just like Trump you need to make it about the investigators. Mueller is respected by both parties, good luck with your attempts to paint him as some partisan hack.
"The Special Counsel’s office had made public the identities of 17 attorney staff members through March 21. Their backgrounds are summarized here. Through public records, we were able to independently confirm that at least 12 people on Mueller’s staff are registered Democrats.
They ones we confirmed are Greg Andres, Rush Atkinson, Ryan Dickey, Michael Dreeben, Kyle Freeny, Andrew Goldstein, Adam Jed, Elizabeth Prelogar, James Quarles, Jeannie Rhee, Brandon Van Grack, and Andrew Weissmann. Another member of Mueller’s team -- Aaron Zelinsky -- has been reported to be a registered Democrat by both the Washington Post and the Daily Caller. The Daily Caller also reported that Zelinsky wrote, "I’m a Democrat," in a Huffington Post column supporting same-sex marriage in November 2012.
"We’ll also note that in the jurisdictions in which the Mueller lawyers live -- primarily the District of Columbia, Maryland and New York -- the Democrats are the dominant party, meaning that many races are effectively decided in Democratic primaries rather than in the general election"
There are PLENTY of "the best prosecutors of corruption and organized crime" throughout the country that did NOT DONATE to the hillary campaign NOR worked for her.
If the repubs ever stack a deck like Mueller did, the left would be screaming every day. Just look at he attacks on AG Burr.

No, I’m not. What I’m saying is it should have been done by Obama before he left or as the one of the first things Trump did once he took office. Christ, Congress should have demanded it. That guy did real, lasting damage to our nation and HE belongs in jail for election interference. Firing Comey was justified by whoever did it.
Note how so many on the left IGNORE this:
"Before Trump fired Comey, these Democrats wanted him out"
The Republican National Committee launched a new website this week, www.LyinComey.com, featuring these videos to remind people what Democrats said about former FBI director James Comey in the wake the 2016 election. They are trying to get ahead of the release of Comey's tell-all book next Tuesday. The site quotes several leading Democrats condemning Comey for his role in the Clinton email investigation:
"The FBI has no credibility," the website quotes Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters from January 2017.
"Maybe he’s not in the right job," House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi is quoted as saying about Comey in November 2016.
"[Comey] badly overstepped his bounds,” the site quotes Hillary Clinton as saying in September 2017.
“I do not have confidence in [Comey] any longer," the site quotes Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer as saying in November 2016"

Quote: Gowdy: Good morning, Director Comey. Secretary Clinton said she never sent or received any classified information over her private e-mail, was that true? Comey: Our investigation found that there was classified information sent. Gowdy: It was not true? Comey: That’s what I said. Gowdy: OK. Well, I’m looking for a shorter answer so you and I are not here quite as long. Secretary Clinton said there was nothing marked classified on her e-mails sent or received. Was that true?
Comey: That’s not true. There were a small number of portion markings on I think three of the documents. Gowdy:Secretary Clinton said “I did not e-mail any classified information to anyone on my e-mail there was no classified material.†That is true?
Comey: There was classified information emailed. Gowdy: Secretary Clinton used one device, was that true? Comey: She used multiple devices during the four years of her term as Secretary of State. Gowdy: Secretary Clinton said all work related emails were returned to the State Department. Was that true? Comey: No. We found work related email, thousands, that were not returned. Gowdy: Secretary Clinton said neither she or anyone else deleted work related emails from her personal account. Comey: That’s a harder one to answer. We found traces of work related emails in — on devices or in space. Whether they were deleted or when a server was changed out something happened to them, there’s no doubt that the work related emails that were removed electronically from the email system. Gowdy: Secretary Clinton said her lawyers read every one of the emails and were overly inclusive. Did her lawyers read the email content individually? Comey: No.
The FBI also discovered several thousand work-related e-mails that were not in the group of 30,000 that were returned by Secretary Clinton to State in 2014. We found those additional e-mails in a variety of ways. Some had been deleted over the years and we found traces of them on devices that supported or were connected to the private e-mail domain. Others we found by reviewing the archived government e-mail accounts of people who had been government employees at the same time as Secretary Clinton, including high-ranking officials at other agencies, people with whom a Secretary of State might naturally correspond.
This helped us recover work-related e-mails that were not among the 30,000 produced to State. Still others we recovered from the laborious review of the millions of e-mail fragments dumped into the slack space of the server decommissioned in 2013.
With respect to the thousands of e-mails we found that were not among those produced to State, agencies have concluded that three of those were classified at the time they were sent or received, one at the Secret level and two at the Confidential level. There were no additional Top Secret e-mails found. Finally, none of those we found have since been “up-classified.â€

FBI investigators have also read all of the approximately 30,000 e-mails provided by Secretary Clinton to the State Department in December 2014. Where an e-mail was assessed as possibly containing classified information, the FBI referred the e-mail to any U.S. government agency that was a likely “owner†of information in the e-mail, so that agency could make a determination as to whether the e-mail contained classified information at the time it was sent or received, or whether there was reason to classify the e-mail now, even if its content was not classified at the time it was sent (that is the process sometimes referred to as “up-classifyingâ€).
From the group of 30,000 e-mails returned to the State Department, 110 e-mails in 52 e-mail chains have been determined by the owning agency to contain classified information at the time they were sent or received. Eight of those chains contained information that was Top Secret at the time they were sent; 36 chains contained Secret information at the time; and eight contained Confidential information, which is the lowest level of classification. Separate from those, about 2,000 additional e-mails were “up-classified†to make them Confidential; the information in those had not been classified at the time the e-mails were sent.
----------------
For example, seven e-mail chains concern matters that were classified at the Top Secret/Special Access Program level when they were sent and received. These chains involved Secretary Clinton both sending e-mails about those matters and receiving e-mails from others about the same matters. There is evidence to support a conclusion that any reasonable person in Secretary Clinton’s position, or in the position of those government employees with whom she was corresponding about these matters, should have known that an unclassified system was no place for that conversation. In addition to this highly sensitive information, we also found information that was properly classified as Secret by the U.S. Intelligence Community at the time it was discussed on e-mail (that is, excluding the later “up-classified†e-mails).
None of these e-mails should have been on any kind of unclassified system, but their presence is especially concerning because all of these e-mails were housed on unclassified personal servers not even supported by full-time security staff, like those found at Departments and Agencies of the U.S. Government—or even with a commercial service like Gmail.
Separately, it is important to say something about the marking of classified information. Only a very small number of the e-mails containing classified information bore markings indicating the presence of classified information. But even if information is not marked “classified†in an e-mail, participants who know or should know that the subject matter is classified are still obligated to protect it.
1. Mishandling Classified Information
Executive Order 13526 and 18 U.S.C Sec. 793(f) of the federal code make it unlawful to send of store classified information on personal email. Casey Harper at The Daily Caller delved into this angle: "'By using a private email system, Secretary Clinton violated the Federal Records Act and the State Department’s Foreign Affairs Manual regarding records management, and worse, could have left classified and top secret documents vulnerable to cyber attack,' Cause of Action Executive Director Dan Epstein said in an email to reporters. 'This is an egregious violation of the law, and if it were anyone else, they could be facing fines and criminal prosecution.'â€
Harper goes on to point out that multiple violations of this law have been enforced recently, including in 1999, when former CIA Director John M. Deutch's security clearance was suspended for using his personal email to send classified information.
Additionally, this past week, Gen. David Patraeus pleaded guilty for mishandling classified information by using a Gmail account instead of his official government email.
18 USC 1924 reads:
Whoever being an officer, employee, contractor, or consultant of the United States, and, by virtue of his office, employment, position, or contract, becomes possessed of documents or materials containing classified information of the United States, knowingly removes such documents or materials without authority and with the intent to retain such documents or materials at an unauthorized location shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for not more than one year, or both. 2. Violation of The 2009 Federal Records Act
Section 1236.22 of the 2009 National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) requirements states that:
Dems have been talking “impeachment†since Trump’s first took office. I wish they would focus more on things like immigration policy and securing our borders rather than continuing with this never ending witch hunt.
Actually, I think Maxine Waters was talking about it BEFORE he took office. BEFORE.
So you hate the rich, and want everyone to be making a living wage which makes you a socialist. But you hate progressives too, so that just makes you confused.
No. I'm a conservative - a true conservative (not one of these "republican" liberal-lite Neocons/RINOs).

If you put down the Ayn Rand novels for a change, you'd have more time to read Mr. Mueller's report.
You mean really, the Weissman report. Calendar shows he was the one running the operation, investigation, name it. Anybody can see Mueller was clearly uncomfortable with the contents of reading the report, and doesn't want anything more to do with it.
