"What Robert Mueller & the Russians He Indicted Share in Common"
Their cheerful, smiling faces (and their neatly trimmed eyebrows).

The bigger question is why he didn’t also indict Hillary and her dossier Democrats.
Robert Mueller’s indictment released on Friday charges the defendants with attempting to “hide the Russian origin of their activities and to avoid detection.” One could say something very similar about the whole catalyst of Mueller’s investigation. . . snip
Why did not the Clinton campaign cut out the expensive middlemen and pay money directly to the compiler of the dirt? Because the Clinton’s team did not want the public to know that they paid for the dossier containing slanders and gossip seeking to derail Donald Trump’s candidacy and now his presidency. They wanted to dodge campaign-finance regulations aimed at transparency to preserve the fiction that an independent investigator, a former respected intelligence officer at that, alleged various nasty things about Donald Trump, the Russians, and Donald Trump and the Russians.

A quick read but does a good job of recounting a theme the MSM would like to see disappear down the rabbit hole . . . If Mueller want to charge some Russians for interference with the election how about Hillary, her gang, the DNC and a host of those in the swamp?
Keep shouting this aspect from the rooftops.
What if congress actually did it’s job of oversight? Don’t kid yourself, 99% of congress is the deep state.
LANGUAGE WARNING - Loads of F-bombs and other cursing.
It's an awesome dissection in spite of the language.
The Mueller Indictments Are A F**king Joke & It's Dangerous [Web Exclusive] (15:09)
The first three minutes is enough but the dissection continues to the end.
They’re corrupt.
From a different angle, reminders of how awful Mueller and Comey are comes from their long-ago bungling of the investigation of the (1996) Khobar Towers bombing and related Middle Eastern terrorism:

FakeNewsMSM almost entirely ignored this particular tweet by Facebook’s VP of advertising Rob Goldman:
16 Feb: Twitter: Rob Goldman(Facebook)
The majority of the Russian ad spend happened AFTER the election. ***We shared that fact, but very few outlets have covered it because it doesn’t align with the main media narrative of Tump and the election.
however, FakeNewsMSM began a campaign to smear Goldman:

19 Feb: Wired: A Facebook Executive Apologizes To His Company — And To Robert Mueller
by Nicholas Thompson
But then, roughly eight hours after the indictment appeared online, Rob Goldman, a VP for ads for Facebook, decided he had a few points to add to the debate. He was just freelancing, and had not cleared his thoughts with either Facebook’s communications team or its senior management.
TWEETS including: The majority of the Russian ad spend happened AFTER the election. We shared that fact, but very few outlets have covered it because it doesn’t align with the main media narrative of Tump and the election...
Facebook has been praised, notably by Digiday, for letting its executives sound off on Twitter, and Goldman had previously partaken of those privileges several times...
Goldman is far from the most prominent Facebook executive on Twitter, though. He had only 1600 followers, at the time, and his tweets didn’t draw much action on Friday evening...
He had made, however, two big errors—one of which was obvious and one of which was a bit subtle. The obvious error was asserting that one could understand the scope of the Russian propaganda campaign just through the ads....ETC
By the time Facebook executives went to sleep that evening, they had heard about the tweets, but they weren’t particularly worried. One of Facebook’s more senior executives, a VP named Andrew Bosworth, even gave the thread a little boost, retweeting it and noting “Important thread here.”
The tweetstorm started to spread in the early hours of Saturday. It caught the attention of the president of Pro Publica, one of the organizations that has been most critical of Facebook’s advertising practice. The former deputy communications director of the Clinton campaign noted it too.
And then, the message caught the attention of America’s Tweeter in Chief. And so on Saturday, right about when Facebook’s executives would have been sitting down for lunch, @realdonaldtrump decided that he wanted to introduce his 48 million followers to Rob Goldman... TWEETS
That’s when, according to executives at the company, Facebook realized it was holding a sh*t sandwich. It’s also when the company realized Goldman’s more subtle error: He had made it look like his company was repudiating the work of Robert Mueller...
Facebook has long had a vexed relationship with Donald Trump. It’s based in Silicon Valley, and most of the executives and employees are liberal Democrats...
He (Rob Goldman) now has 10,500 Twitter followers, but a few fewer friends at work...
At its core, Goldman’s mistake was a familiar one for Silicon Valley: An executive really smart at one thing seemed to think he was really smart at another thing...
On Monday, I spoke with a Facebook executive familiar with the company’s cooperation with Mueller and asked which of the three hypotheses was closest to the truth, based on all the data Facebook has. “I don’t think anyone at Facebook can say definitely one way or another,” they answered. “We are a tech company. Why would have the answer? I wouldn’t trust us if we said we did.”
Later that day, Rob Goldman seemed to come to the same understanding, and posted internally at Facebook a message that read as follows: “I wanted to apologize for having tweeted my own view about Russian interference without having it reviewed by anyone internally. The tweets were my own personal view and not Facebook’s. I conveyed my view poorly. The Special Counsel has far more information about what happened [than] I do—so seeming to contradict his statements was a serious mistake on my part...ETC ETC

Hello, they were political allies and funneled millions to each other. Sure, during the election they could criticize each other to the nth degree. That only helped each other's fundraising. Criticism is fine. They just couldn't use the inside dirt they had on each other, because that meant mutually assured destruction. And that remains today. They can still bash each other, just not use inside info. Trump couldn't afford to indict her..
Deep state, and a flair for the theater.
Every day Mueller proceeds with this farce, is a day he further destroys his reputation.
Good piece, but a final paragraph calling for a second Special Counsel to investigate this wrongdoing would have been nice.
Do you get the idea that this fellow “is hot under the collar with the BS that Muller and gang are trying to pull over on the American public”?
I had 20+ years in the Navy so the language sort of falls off my back like water, but, you were very right to warn others with “more sensitive ears”!
Well worth the 15 minutes to watch/listen. Thanks.
“I had 20+ years in the Navy so the language sort of falls off my back like water, but, you were very right to warn others with “more sensitive ears”!”
Those language warning are an appreciated courtesy and it has nothing to do with “sensitive ears”.
It gas to do with where one may be watching/listening and who else in the room might hear.
For example if I’m sitting in the family room with my kids there, I don’t want to click over to a video that had lots of f-bombs they may hear.
Something that is dawning on me and it reassures me to see you use the words “mutually assured destruction”. We are all wondering what is keeping Sessions “on the porch”. Strzoks remarks about “insurance policy” begin to make sense. Not saying what it is but it is becoming apparent by the day that 0bama has something.
Yep, the candidates are hand picked and controlled.
Me thinks the Muller indictment may be a smokescreen to keep the Russian Deep State from being further investigated. The communists and their socialist ilk in the DNC really do in essence belong the the same political movement to make us all Russian downstream socialists. Germany’s Merkel is just one of many.
