Was Linda with Senator NoName when Senator NoName met with ISIS/rebels/bad guys in or near Syria?

I would like to be the one to inform Lamesy Graham that Vice President Pence and EVERY AMERICAN ALIVE does, indeed, have a Constitutional Right to CALL for Mueller’s wrapping up of this travesty. We merely don’t have right to throw him out the door.
In other words, “MR. MUELLER..CLOSE DOWN THIS TRAVESTY”
(who was it who used words like that before? I forget”

Very glad that Trump are working with
McCain and Lindsey to confront Russia.

It’s called spirit of bipartisanship.

It will necessarily go on for years.

The trial of the Russian click-bait operation in St. Petersburg will go on for years. It no doubt involves classified evidence and the procedures for dealing with that will add months and months to the case.

Mueller is using these cases to push creative legal theories, such as the idea that failure to file a required form with a US government agency constitutes a crime of ‘defrauding the United States’ by frustrating the ability of that government agency to function properly in the absence of receiving that filing. Mueller will probably get slapped down on appeal for this legal theory, but perhaps not until it goes to the Supreme Court.

The Manafort case will also go on for years unless Manafort is bankrupted in the meantime by the costs of fighting it.

The deep state strategy is probably for Mueller to drop a bombshell just prior to the mid-term elections. Perhaps announcing an indictment of the president, or some other dramatic step. The arguments over this will take time winding their way through the appellate courts.

Mueller is delaying the sentencing of Flynn until he can interrogate President Trump, with the idea that Flynn is available to contradict Trump and support the levying of perjury charges against Trump. So the Flynn case will not end until his usefulness in the effort to get Trump ends.

Mueller’s budget is essentially unlimited.

This case has served as a vehicle in which highly-partisan Democrat lawyers have been able to use law enforcement tools to find out anything and everything about the Republican campaign for president in 2016.

Every document, every email, every text message, dozens of interrogations of witnesses, have allowed the Democrats to obtain a huge treasure trove of priceless political intelligence, which will be useful to Democrats in numerous ways in the future.

This ain’t ending anytime soon.

Miss Lindsey telling Pence to sit down and shut up?

That’s rich.

. "I'm sure Mr. Mueller will wrap it up when it gets time to wrap it up."

That time has come & gone a long time ago, Linda.

Bush League Republicans like Graham need to become extinct politically.

I wish Lindsey would live by this standard. If something isn’t 100% within his discretion, he needs to shut up about it.

Mueller has a terrible reputation going back to Whitey Bulger. Linda is up to his neck in the swamp. A man who has never been married to my knowledge and speaks plus acts effeminate.

Hey Graham...I, a citizen who is forced to pay for this crappola, am calling for the end of it.

Apparently Pence can’t even express his opinion.

I suppose the GOP wants to avoid pushing the issue until after the election because it would just motivate Dems to vote, sort of like the Dem threat of impeachment motivates Republicans to vote. But at some point, the GOP needs to push for Mueller to wrap this up. It certainly shouldn’t be a blank check for Mueller.

Soon to be found clutching, smelling, and lovingly caressing a flannel shirt belonging to John McCain like the scene in Brokeback Mountain.

I notice Miss Lindsey has said nothing about the recent nasty comments made by Juan McLame. Yet he jumps on VP Pence’s comment, and as far as I know, it’s the first time Pence has said anything about the investigation.

If you look at their ads, they did not even seem to be trying to influence people in the election. They were just trying to stir up enmity between different factions of the populace. The Democrats have done that themselves. In fact they specialize in it. Apparently the Russians can’t support Black Lives Matter, but the Democrats can.
