Selective prosecution and judicial pardons (immunity) don’t sound much like anyone is getting a fair shake and public attonement.

For what?

There’s no “there” there.

It’s already proven that Trump “bought” the story. Says so right in the tapes HE released which says to pay with check and unless the check came from the campaign (and it didn’t) all they can try to hit Trump with is that it was still a campaign contribution because he tried to influence the outcome - which is still bs because then any private charity or business that Trump owns was considered a political influence on the campaign - arguably not the intent of the law - never mind the fact that the entire Clinton foundation is a political campaign entity and illegal on its face then.

“and campaign finance violations”

He could get out of that but his “lawyer” conned him into pleading guilty to a non-crime.

Mueller’s gang can’t find real crimes so they make them up.

If ANYTHING this further proves that this investigation is nothing but political theater and a political contribution and therefore illegal under that same law and Mueller is guilty of illegally influencing the upcoming election.

If he's truly a friend, not only does this out Sessions, but could very well put some brakes on his momentum.

NONE of this has anything to do with anything else but entrapment of a REPUBLICANLY elected sitting President and I'm really getting tired of seeing these posts

Since when is a Pecker a Packer? Does he pack with his pecker or peck with his packer?

You’re mad at me for reporting the latest on this obvious effort to take down the president?

Since we're swerving off the Russia inquiry and into press interference as a 'campaign contribution,' will Mueller now be interviewing Donna Brazille and Clinton?

Punch line for the day: What a hero Muellar is.....he can't find Russian collaborators, but he bagged a stripper and a Pecker.

“×Since when is a Pecker a Packer? Does he pack with his pecker or peck with his packer?”

I wonder if he will be a peckerhead and start lying his ass off?

cohen has already plead guilty, no need to testify against him. This is about building a case against Trump.

So, grant ‘immunity’ to any democrats who may have actually committed crimes, but prosecute any Trump supporters.

It’s all about muckraking using sh*t and calling it ironclad.

Yes, they will go after anyone in Trump's circle of friends, family and supporters. That's their plan to silence us forever into accepting their rule.

Trump needs to fire Sessions, Rosenstein and everyone else not on board with his vision for the USA. Politics be damned. He's in charge of the military, and the military is for Trump. So are the police. He needs to call the politicians’ bluff. They won't hold nomination hearings for Sessions’ replacement? Fine. Appoint an acting Attorney General. Time to fill Gitmo with all these double-dealing, treasonous scumbags that are willing to sacrifice the American people.

How long before Mueller tries to blackmail Melania?

Ya know, if Mueller had gone after the Clintons for any of their many real and heinous crimes with one one hundredth of the vigor that he goes after Trump for non-existing crimes and perhaps a few minor real peccadilloes, , he would have long ago become worm food.

Sometimes I wish Trump wasn’t such a nice guy and willing to play the long game.

Is Pecker charged with something? Or is the immunity a gift that he won’t be charged moving forward?
