Mueller is like the fighter who is out on his feet. He has no clue and can’t fight back. Can’t even protect himself. Then you have Sessions(et al) who refuses to put the fighter out of his misery. Wonder why???

I wonder if the Russians might not be more clever than Mueller.

When those indictments were first announced, I posted here on FR that the Russians could do tremendous damage to the U.S. simply by having one of the defendants show up to contest the charges.

I thought there was no chance in hell that one of the 13 Russians would come to the U.S. to stand trial. It never occurred to me that one of the corporations listed among the defendants could defend itself without having a single Russian anywhere within 100 miles of the courtroom. LOL.

You are right.

Even my husband is shocked when in his Sunday School class, so many Christian men are equally fooled. He counters their misconceptions with facts, and they appear shocked and in disbelief.

I just wonder what we (and DJT) can do about it, more than what is being done now.

I hope he is being held in reserve for the Coup de grace if necessary. Mueller is actually doing himself in.

The Democrats are intent on repeating their mistake and starting another Civil War. We are probably already there, but in a period of Détente.

Like the song says, don’t know where, don’t know when.

Not sure what the final straw will be. They are so over the edge that when you read of Truman or Humphrey, they appear to be Right Wing Zealots compared to what their Party has become.

As Hilary just said, 40% of Democrats are Socialists. Am I surprised that her statement wasn’t even mentioned in the News, not at all. It just shows that people don’t think that statement is outside the norm of thinking nowadays.

Just pontificating outside the Thread being discussed. Carry on.

“have Mueller serve a life term. In solitary.”

Mustn’t forget! Supply him with reading material. Suggest just one tome; the fiction written by Muller himself.

Thanks for your good pontifications : )

If HRC is correct, and 40% of Dems are Socialists, I wonder how many are out and out communists.

Yes, Truman, Humphrey, and JFK would be considered right-wing zealots. I’m not sure what it is going to take to re-educate the populace about liberty, maybe they are going to have to personally suffer under communism and learn the hard way.

If there is going to be CWII, I hope it happens under DJT, because patriots will fare far better under him than an HRC -clone!

Yes, back to the thread.......Mueller would prefer not to...because he will suffer more embarrassment....nevertheless he will push onward with his nefarious endeavors, until he meets a final roadblock, whatever that will be......

This story stinks. We are being told that a crack team of federal prosecutors indicted somebody and then weren't ready to take it to court because they thought the accused wouldn't defend themselves? Seriously?

There is some smoke for cover, of course: that the information behind the indictment was "sensitive", which is entirely irrelevant since it will have to be presented in court anyway, and that the defense attorneys are asking for the moon in discovery, which they always do as a normal matter of course. The political advantages to delay are obvious, especially if they don't think they can get a conviction or are trying to bankrupt the defendants, or both. The risk is that if it gets tossed from court it brings a healthy skeptical focus on every one of the other indictments, with plenty of time for that to sink in before the election. If they were hoping for a Deep State judge to keep the whole charade going that's leaning on a mighty flimsy reed.

What a waste of taxpayer money. Give them a choice...stretched neck or eternal exile with all assets seized. That is all traitors deserve (of course, after a fair trial and conviction).

Thanks for posting.

I downloaded the Charge document and scanned down the list of groups and it had amazing detail.

But part way through the document I ran across an entry for a Twitter account that I recognized. That was suspended on Twitter for violation of terms of service.

I searched for that screen name and my own screen name and got about 30 hits (threads) in 2016-2017. The comments by @TEN_GOP were missing but looking at my the threads I was listed in, @TEN_GOP was not leading or even a major factor in the discussion. Some of the threads had 20 or more entries, but only 1 entry was by that account. The rest were people I actually knew and had long discussions with.

The @TEN_GOP was an account I vaguely remember, but they were not shaping opinion on Twitter. Based upon that, I saw BS to the charges releated to that Twitter account.

As far as the rest is concerned? There is a lot of detail but nothing else I read could I say I ever heard of.

Just saying, at this point I don’t believe the charges. (I’m not Putin defender)

Question for the legal minds If there is no evidence the special council will share and the judge throws it out for lack of evidence Could the Russians then sue muller and the U.S. for false prosecution

Exactly! We need WWII courses taught in our high schools - starting this fall. It’s happening all over again. Our young adults know nothing about WWII.

Is it possible that your newspaper might simply be a victim of spamming?

It’s possible, Balding_Eagle. I’ve seen posts of similar mindsets on other local news sites as well. It is disconcerting to see such complete bamboozlement.

Soros has billions, sure enough. I wonder how far down the fed to local chain his money can stretch. Why he hasn’t been banned from our country, and his assets seized by now, I don’t know.

The potential gets even more delicious every time I think about it.

Mueller can't give them discovery--it gives the Russians too much info. So, he has to drop the charges. But the Russians can argue "You have besmirched our good name. We demand the right to defend ourselves."

Suppose the Judge hems and haws for a while and the Russians tell Mueller "Well, we won't go any further if you give us a statement that the indictment was a mistake and you now believe that there was no collusion."

Now Mueller is really stuck. If he says "no collusion" his entire reason for being disappears. If he says "collusion" they get discovery.
