Mueller's Politicized Indictment of Twelve Russian Intelligence Officers
Make no mistake: This is nakedly politicized law enforcement. There is absolutely no chance any of the Russian officials charged will ever see the inside of an American courtroom. The indictment is a strictly political document by which the special counsel seeks to justify the existence of his superfluous investigation. ...Lacking the requisite basis to conduct a criminal investigation, the Justice Department used its counterintelligence mission as a pretext for appointing a special counsel. ...
Russia's interference in the 2016 election was never something that the Justice Department was unable to investigate in the normal course. In fact, for months, the Trump Justice Department was investigating it in the normal course, just as the Obama Justice Department had done. Then, President Trump fired FBI director James Comey. It was this event that prompted Rosenstein to appoint Mueller. We got a special counsel not because of Russia's espionage or any evidence indicating actual Trump-campaign complicity in it; we got a special counsel because Rosenstein was deeply involved in Comey's ouster and wanted to fend off Democratic attacks on him over it.

The talking heads are inconsistent over time. It's a mistake to take anything they say, seriously. IOW, who cares if they are all aghast today? Same issue tomorrow, and their tune is apt to be different.
A recent study showed that the talking heads in general are correct only 34% of the time. Really bad product.
Newt is the one that was a major disappointment when he said the presser was ‘worst mistake’ of Trump’s presidency. Shows Newt to be a coward. Somehow I’m not surprised.
The talking heads are inconsistent over time.
