Since the DNC server was NEVER examined, how does Muller or anyone else, know that it was hacked at all? It may have been an inside job. Will the Russians get the right to discovery if they submit themselves for trial, or will Mueller find a judge who will deny them that right?

They still aren’t interested in who actually took money from Russians, and actually returned favors.

All the crimes that were committed were under O’Idiot’s watch.

And, as for the 33,000 emails they scrubbed rather than answer a subpoena, no one to this day seems interested in the actual collusion they hid when they erased them and smashed their hardware.

Likewise, we can support the Mueller investigation

No. As Andrew McCarthy's been saying, you don't need a special counsel for this.

Yes, an indictment, not a conviction. We still don’t know the truth of this.

Bottom line ... still NO proof that Trump did anything thing wrong, or tried to ... yet a full-blown Special Council investigation, with 50 lawyers on staff and millions of dollars in budget, keeps plowing on ...

meanwhile, with Hillary Clinton there IS ample evidence available that she committed real crimes, serious crimes ... yet nothing happens to her or her cronies ... no charges, no investigations, no media saturation, nothing ...

After 14 months of investigation (and for the second time in a formal indictment), the Justice Department has stated that it is not alleging any knowing collusion between Trump campaign officials or associates and the Russians

Nothing in the indictment suggests any “collusion” by any member of the Trump team. In fact the indictment provides an iron clad defense to any such specious allegation.

The indictment shows that the Russians were credibly presenting themselves to be American citizens and that any Trump member that had any contact with the Ruskies were convinced they were conversing with Americans.

Mueller has indicted his paper witches and exonerated Trump in the same 29 page document. Mueller has his scalps. It’s time to shut him down. He’s done. Stick a fork in him.

Again Trumps decision not to fire Rosenweasel has come back to bite him. Yes, during the little pricks show today he mumbled there was nothing to tie Trump to Russia’s election tampering. Ok Great, but the point was he reinvigorated the meme that the Russians helped Trump. Now it’s almost impossible to fire him without appearing to go after him because he indicted the Russians. So he can continue his coup unabated. Meanwhile he has 93 FBI prosecutors looking for dirt on Kavanaugh. He is also trying t0 destroy Jordon -bank it. I just despise the guy but he seems untouchable.

Mueller’s job is to be an open investigation preventing access to proof of a deep state coup attempting to overthrow the US president.

Mueller will be there til Trump is gone or issues a blanket pardon

It’s actually the perfect way for Rosenstein and Mueller to never have to either prove anything, or release what evidence or lack of it they have. They know Putin will never turn over these people (if they are even real), therefore it will never go to trial. Meanwhile they can hold everything back as part of an “ongoing investigation”, one that will be forever in limbo.

“They caught the witches.” Those were the celebratory words of John Podesta, a creepy little queer whose rise to any sort of power is an example of exactly what is wrong with our culture ...

Fixed it.

Hence they have to keep injecting life into the collusion 'narrative'.

The “elephant in the room” is still the supposed motive for Russian meddling - namely, to help Trump win the presidency.

But no one can explain why on earth Russia would prefer to have Trump be president over Hillary Clinton.

Trump ran on an America First platform and has spent his entire life demonstrating that he is nobody’s fool. Trump is the very last person the Russians would ever wish for as the US president.

Clinton ran on globalism and made a career out of selling America’s interests out to the highest bidder. She fits the bill perfectly as a president the Russians could use to their advantage.

The problem in the Russian investigation is that we have plenty of crimes but not necessarily plenty of colluders.

Collusion or not, isn't what the Russians have been indicted for worthy of comment by the White House?

The fact is that the indictment largely confirmed what we knew. It shows an effort by the Russians to undermine Clinton and influence the election...

The bias in Turley's report is his failure to mention that the Russians also tried to hack into Republican systems, but were unable to.

Instead, Turley leaves the reader with the impression that the sole objective of the Russians was to "undermine Clinton."

The truth is that the Russians tried to play each against the other, but were unable to penetrate the Republican systems. They were left with only the Clinton hacks to work with.

If it can be proved that the Russkies helped Trump beat Hillary than they deserve a special reward. Not indictments.

Not that Trump needed any help.
