I guess Trump is going to allow this farce to continue.

If these SOBs think they can remove Trump with a legal coup, and face no consequences.... they better think twice.

Yes. The Swamp will have told the Trump peasants that their ballots are worthless.

And what comes after the ballot box? 😀

We've been following the Swamp kabuki dances for 20 years.

They're not fooling us any more.

If they think they're going to pull a "LawNOrder" play, they've got another think coming.

We'll be only too happy to pull an "Occupy Washington" with a few million p*ssed-off Trump supporters.

Go long hemp manufacturers.

The stooge is a “foreign bribe” expert. Another sign this partisan witch hunt is going into Trump’s real estate deals.

Hey, conspiracy to collude- or maybe collusion on a conspiracy, whichever, gotta be a slam dunk either way, maybe both.

This is becoming laughable.

And it will be shut down.

They’re messing with the wrong regime.

As more and more people make more and more money, they wont give a ####, or they will give LESS of a #### about this crap.

When is this manufactured fiasco going to end? It’s not getting the corrupt republicans and dimocrats anywhere.

Looks like Mueller is doubling down and could care less about all the criticism

Of course there is an unlimited budget, that’s why this will never end.

If they had not “investigated” Trump all this time, the crimes of hillary, lynch, obama, comey, etc.. would probably have gone untouched by the law... their constant attacks on Trump caused the conservatives to demand they do the investigation of the guilty... they should have left well enough alone if they wanted to do the crimes and not do the time.

Looks like Mueller doesn’t want to contaminate his team by including anyone who might have voted for Trump or any other Republican in 2016. Maybe he figures that the Democrats will regain the House in 2018 and he can then hand his report to the new Speaker of the House, Maxine Waters, for the impeachment process to go forward.

I’m beginning to wonder what team Sessions is on. No one could be this inept.

Does this really make sense any longer with Russia disproved except for helping dems? With calls for a special counsel to look into Comey, Clinton, Obama et. al. If you were a smart career man and the Awan scandal had just broken would you join this team? Not exactly a smart career move to start a civil war taking out a sitting US President in a witch hunt that looks like a conspiracy while the party you are helping is drowning in espionage and foreign collusion.

What if Trump is not Mueller's focus? Trump interviewed him twice for the FBI position. Once the day before becoming the special counselor and Mueller knows the dems and how the dem operate being sent to Russia for the Uranium deal. Fusion GPS has been shown to be working with dems and Russians, Awan has broken, looks like all intel compromised from Congress up to the White House and on and on.

I do not see how Mueller going after Trump works any longer. What if his task is to take out some of the problem but find a way to not tear down the whole government.
