The more Mueller searches for hypothetical lawbreaking, the more he ignores the actual lawbreakers. The country is about to witness an investigatory train wreck.

In one direction, Special Counsel Robert Mueller

The more Mueller searches for hypothetical lawbreaking, the more he is inadvertently underscoring that actual lawbreakers must be subject to the same standard of justice.

I trust the plan. This is the plan.

History will not be kind to Little Bobby for what he has done to the Trump administration. Bastard.

The fact that Natalia Veselnitskaya, who met Trump Jr. and company at the Trump Tower to discuss dirt on Hillary, has not been interviewed seems to confirm that the meeting was a nothingburger, a failed attempt to set up Team Trump.

How near?

How comprehensive?

Too many “may’s” in the article and not enough “will’s” when it comes to prosecutions.

In one direction, Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation train is looking for any conceivable thing that President Donald Trump’s campaign team might have done wrong in 2016.

Doesn't anyone wonder what Hillary meant when she declared, if Trump wins we will all hang?

I have said from the beginning that Mueller's real job is to destroy and bleach bit everything possible that ties Obama or Hillary into criminal behavior. If they discover something that could bring down Trump in this fraudulent investigation, then that is simply a bonus.

Those here that still cling to the notion that the Congress or Senate would do what is right, simply don't remember how many stood up to reveal the money laundering operations known as the House Post Office or Bank.

Excellent article, as usual, by VDH.

His contrasts between Mueller search results and other searches that might result from those dry holes is impressive:

- If that is so, then the DOJ will probably have to charge former deputy FBI director Andrew McCabe with perjury or related offenses.

- If so, then the DOJ will have to look at Comey himself and DOJ officials who obstructed a federal court.

- If so, the DOJ may have to indict Comey.

- If that is true, the DOJ will have to investigate why the FBI allowed Clinton aide Cheryl Mills to pose as Clinton’s attorney...

- The FBI should probably then reopen the investigation into the Clinton email scandal, given that Clinton destroyed more than 30,000 emails...

Bottom line:

- For over a year, we have had two standards of legality when there can only be one. A reckoning is near.

I don’t even understand how this travesty got off the ground. We found out Clinton criminally deleted 10,000 emails, but were told the Russians and Assange were the bad guys for doing us a public service? And the only reason we even think it is the Russians is we were told 17 agencies think so. Which now turns out to be a lie.
