Mueller report is just the start of a new Russia showdown
Certainly Not News (CNN) ^ | Updated 2:12 PM ET, Sun March 24, 2019 | Anal-Cyst by Stephen Collinson

Robert Mueller's latest service to America is all but complete. But the reverberations from his yet-to-be-revealed report could amount to inestimable political and constitutional consequences.

The conclusion of the special counsel's investigation was an important landmark in itself, at a moment in America's modern history when governing institutions are under intense strain. It demonstrated that so far at least, a credible legal examination is possible into the most explosive of charges against an unchained President, without interference and despite the bitter polarization of the times. The question now is whether everyone accepts the result. The nation could learn within days whether Mueller answered key inquiries: Did Trump cooperate with a hostile foreign power to win the 2016 election? Did he use that platform to seek to enrich himself with multi-billion dollar business deals in Russia? Did the President obstruct justice, including by firing FBI Director James Comey, in an effort to cover it all up? And is there any evidence to suggest why Trump often appears to be obedient to Russian President Vladimir Putin, following fears felt deep within the FBI that the US President was compromised? And can he explain the multiple suspicions contacts between Trump's associates and Russians -- both before and after the election -- and the lies they all told about those relationships?

CNN is a joke. The headline should be “Trump Exonerated”.

The witch hunt failed to find any witches.

However, House Democrats have vowed to call every young women from Salem to testify to see if they can catch any of them in a perjury trap. :-(

Mueller spent two years with unlimited resources to find any action by the President that even appeared to be illegal. I’m so sure the half-wit Democrats in Congress can do a better job than he did (/sarc).

I’ve always wondered if Trump was lighter than a duck. :)

I’m sure one reason this report was delayed is to be sure it was written with plenty of “spinuendo”, fodder for the MSM to make up new fantasies about.

We will see.

Whether intentional or not, Trump is a genius.

By taking on Mueller and setting him up as an enemy, Trum forced the reflexive media to cover Mueller as a “hero” of truth. He forced the reflexive Democrats into giving Mueller unimpeachable status.

Now, they turn on him and look like fools.

And lest we forget, Trump wanted to put it ALL on the table and declassify the FISA warrants and all the classified information relating thereto. The democrats screamed that the intel agencies and DOJ should refuse. They screamed of the illegality if it al.

Now they scream for everything in the report to be released.

Ok, it will ALL be released including the IG report that is coming.

Check and Mate you hateful totalitarian jack arses. Check and Mate.

Yes, I'm sure Maxine Waters can wrap this one up in the blink of an eye.

This paragraph is ludicrous!

It's been CLEAR for months that sufficient information is out there to show that the RAT party was using gubermint resources to attempt to frame first candidate Trump and then President Trump.

How many RATS will be indicted and then go to prison for the RAT party version of Sedition 2016-2020? A better question (and headline) is how many RATS will spend decades in jail? Some say none but in my opinion, they seriously underestimate President Trump.
