During his meeting with Russian officials last week, President Donald Trump said recently fired FBI Director James Comey was a “nut job” whose ouster relieved “great pressure” on him, according to a report Friday in The New York Times.
But that doesn’t mean there isn’t a reason to keep digging. And with the information that keeps turning up, they should keep going. Historically, these investigations don’t end in a short time. Patience, lad.
They can dig their own graves while they are at it. It has been stated by too many in government and the intel community, no Trump Russia collusion can be found.
Horse hockey, it means it’s nothing more than a witch hunt and Mueller is just trying to justify his appointment and expenses.
Mueller has gone so far beyond his constitutional authority he should be sued in court and shut down.
Only US atty’s can appoint assistant US atty’s and US atty’s must be appointed by the president and confirmed by the senate.
This “investigation” was launched supposedly as an intelligence probe, not a criminal investigation with unlimited scope and authority much less one with no oversight.
I agree the firing wasn’t going to stop the investigation, but it sure picked up the pace. Why did Trump even bring up the Russia investigation. My comment about the “no there there” is pretty elementary. Firing Comey and saying it was related to the Russia scandal put everyone on notice what he was up to – stopping the investigation. That’s not hard to see. I’m curious what you think is wrong about that.
It’s the accurate term. Do I need to post the definition for you?
He couldn’t find the evidence to support what he was supposed to be investigating so he’s desperately trying to hang everyone he can on perjury hoping to get someone to try to save themselves by fabricating a story to incriminate or get Trump impeached.
“Firing Comey and saying it was related to the Russia scandal” … I wasn’t expressing an opinion. Trump said that. And I would pretty much guarantee that’s something that Mueller’s looking at.
He’s trying to get to the truth. Why are you afraid of what Trump may say if you think he didn’t do anything? If he has nothing to hide, he has nothing to worry about.
Trump a subject. Trump not a subject. Collusion. No collusion.
To me these are valid discussions but dwarfed by the greater reality: clearly there is something ‘rotten in the state of Denmark’, and the investigation should be allowed to play out.
Unless of course one doesn’t trust Mueller…or the DOJ…or the FBI…or the press…or the judiciary…or the elections commissions…etc…etc…etc…
If that’s the case, then fruitful discussion will end where that mistrust begins.
