So far, so good. President Trump has inflicted immense damage on the rule of law and on our democratic norms, but to date the system — Trump calls it the “deep state,” the rest of us call it constitutional government — has held. Special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, despite threats, insults and president’s refusal to sit for an interview, completed his work. He racked up 37 indictments, convictions or plea deals (nearly 200 charges) from three Russian companies and other individuals, including the president’s former campaign chief, his former deputy campaign chief, his former national security adviser and his former personal lawyer.
Mueller revealed in indictments a widespread Russian plot to interfere with our 2016 presidential election on behalf of Trump through social media, live events and hacking. We know that multiple members of the Trump campaign had contacts with Russians, that Trump lied about doing business with Russia (when in fact he pursued a lucrative deal in Russia while running for president), and that Trump (in public comments) and associates let it be known they’d welcome the help of a hostile foreign power. Trump can holler all he wants, but we will never know if he could have won without the help of the Kremlin. We know Paul Manafort provided internal polling data to a Russian connected to Putin’s intelligence operation.
Thanks to Mueller, who referred part of his investigation to the Southern District of New York prosecutors, we also know of a conspiracy to violate campaign finance laws in order to hide from voters hush money to cover up Trump’s extramarital affairs.

Who is still running the Roger Stone legal witch-hunt proceedings?
Who is still trying to prosecute the Rooskies who are still trying to put up a defense in Court?
I’d say that Weasel Mueller is not yet over.
She’s just a biotch.
If the system had worked, the correct people would have been prosecuted. They’re still on the loose.
WaPo is so evil.
Yep, and by the time all this corruption at the highest levels of gooberment is released I hope WaPo is one of the biggest casualities. And good luck to Nick Sandmann. Sure would like to see that kid take over that rag.......and by the way HEY JENNIFER! Brush your teeth or get them fixed. It only takes away from your natural beauty....../s
Jebbifer has gone completely delusional.
No it did not.
Clinton still free.
Trump calls it the “deep state,” the rest of us call it constitutional government
No, I consider that Deep State includes the entire editorial departments of the Washington Post and the New York Times, and what marked the events of Friday last was the complete failure of that system to force its political will on the people of the United States against the latter's legitimately elected Constitutional government. Despite all the lies, the leaks, the cheating, the ceaseless hostility, and the unremitting hatred of Rubin's system, Trump remains the President of the people who elected him and not the ex-President at the hands of the people who wanted to overturn that election by any means necessary.
With so many lies in the first paragraph, is there any point in reading further?
For entertainment value only.
Oh really? Who elected them. Where in the Constitution does the deep state's power come from. Sounds like an unelected privileged class - read aristocracy - that the constitution was supposed to protect us from
My constitution must be missing the pages that establish the office of independent counsel unaccountable to any branch of government and with unlimited power, funding and timeframe.
It’s in that rogue part of the constitution that nobody knows about.
When I first moved to the DC area locals were calling the Post, Pravda on the Potomac.
That was 30 years ago!
The Russian companies ran click bait to make money. Tens of thousands of American & other nations’ companies do the same and don’t get indicted.
Hillary is free, the system , our system, has died.
All I can say to Nick and his lawyer is “better hurry up guys, pretty soon the Washington Compost ain’t gonna be worth a pile of pig sh!t”.
I just looked up Jennifer Rubin and now I understand why she is so bitter, she is uglier than my dogs ass and can’t get laid.
If she is nasty enough, she hopes a Lib/Prog/Not a Fag/male will give her a shot at the horizontal boogie.
Just as a matter of interest my dog is MALE.
It’s not worth that now.......LOL
