Desperation.

Fooking stew pet...

Paging Al Gore...

NONE of what is alleged in the article is illegal.

Why is Mueller investigating something that was not even a crime?

This is little more than taxpayer funded opposition research.

[NutsOnYew]

so at most some Russian or other foreign national might be indicted for this.

Not even that. The press was all over this stuff in 2017. The media was freaking out over Russian-American business men making donations, but they were American citizens it turns out.

“The answer is that foreign nationals cannot give to an inauguration committee. “

They were all US Nationals or US Companies.

FOUR people wrote this article???

.
Special counsel Robert Mueller’s team has failed miserably, and are in freefall.

They are in desperation mode.

It is obvious to all but the most deviantly obsessed.

It’s down to scouring donations looking for someone who is Russian?

[Crucial]

Obama’s campaign was funded mostly by foreign donations.

[dandiegirl]

Trump should tweet about all of Obamas illegal donations just to get it out there

Yoo hoo, Mueller.......how's about looking into this?

THIS JUST IN --- NYAG sex deviant Eric Schneiderman (kicked out of office) aided and abetted the Clinton's lawlessness,
enabling them to falsify Foundation record WRT foreign donations, to satisfy Obama's ban on foreign countries donating while Clinton was Secy of State.

==============================

Starting in July 2016, the Dallas office of the IRS finally began an investigation into Clinton Foundation public filings, prodded by Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) and other congressional Republicans. Missing disclosures concerning donations from foreign governments, and other glaring discrepancies, should have been resolved and should have triggered payment of substantial fines, penalties, and interest to government treasuries long ago. Supposedly, the FBI has been investigating the Clinton Foundation for over a year and a half. Nothing has happened. This is more evidence of corruption by the self described "secret society" at the highest levels of the FBI and DOJ. This is more evidence showing how dirty and dishonest Comey truly is.

Hey, MuleFace: since you like to brag about how broad your investigatory mandate is, how about investigating the thousands of illegal foreign donations received by the Kenyan Fraud?

I was always told that donations by foreigners is legal for the inaugural fund.

If so what crime is he investigating?
