No list of antics.

Leftist talking points about Russia. With not one smidge of evidence that ANYONE did anything illegal, or wrong. And of course, nothing about Trump himself and Russia.

You embarrass yourself when you say everyday there is something "closer to home" when there's no evidence you, or anyone else, can point to. Go ahead, try to find some. I'll be waiting.

Let me be the first to say, you're either a leftist troll, or really naive (I'm being nice).

You think he speaks without thought and says stupid things. You are imagining an inadvertently self-placed target on his back and you wince but the imagined target takes no damage while the real one over there to the left is bull’s-eyed.

Your posts in 71 say nothing. Again, collusion to do what?

The special counsel has just started. He will have wide berth to find evidence that may cLear Trump’s Russia Cloud or prove involvement. I would say things look worse today than they did innaguration day. Although I agree, nothing proven so far. But again, the investigation is young.

Are you aware that special councels are supposed to be appointed to investigate a *crime*? No one other than Maxine Waters has suggested an actual crime occured. (She thinks it’s a crime that Trump is POYUS; in her mind that’s sufficient for ‘inpeachment.’) ‘Collusuion,’ of which there is zero evidence, is not a crime.

‘Robert Mueller is tasked with finding a crime that does not exist in the law.  It is a legal impossibility. 

As special counsel, Mueller can engage in all manner of spectacular jurisprudential gymnastics.  However, it will not change the fact that colluding with Russia is not, under America’s criminal codes, a crime.  It’s just not there. 

Maybe it should be.  Perhaps someday Congress will pass a law criminalizing such conduct in political campaigns.  But for now, there is not a single statute outlawing collaboration with a foreign government in a U.S. presidential election.  Or any election, for that matter.’

There’s a lot more, but I was speaking as popularly interpreted. Trump’s public persona is carefully calculated and he leaves little to chance. The party line endlessly repeated by our elites betray a capacity for intellectual contortions beyond mortal comprehension. I find most Deplorables tend to be simpletons who believe our lying eyes.

We’ll see. Explain why he accepted a job for something that can’t exist?

Because he’s a good friend of Comey’s. Or possibly, if he’s not as much part and parcel of the swamp as he appears to be, to investigate the highly illegal unmasking that Obama and his ilk were perpetrating on Trump and others.

What’s funny is that for years Dennis would correct his LA radio callers, and tell them that he was in fact a Robert Kennedy liberal. Now Dennis, who hasn’t changed, is to the right of frauds like Goldberg and Kristol.

The American Revolution also 'smoldered' for a good ten or twenty years as arguments in pubs, written pamphlets, town hall meetings etc., before it came to a head.

Mercy Otis Warren wrote about the pre-war sentiment and development in MA; she said that by the time the war had begun, it had long been accepted as inevitable by the majority of people.

The way she said it was that the war had for some time been fought in the hearts and minds of the people before any armed conflict took place.

I am paraphrasing.

There’s not much to wait and see. If Mueller were a man of integrity, he’d never have taken the job. He is not merely friends with Comey, but “close,” friends. That is as textbook a case of conflict of interest as it’s possible to have.

There’s no getting around it; the very fact that Mueller accepted the job means he has an agenda. You can take it to the bank the agenda isn’t to harm his good friend. Rather, he’ll try to make Comey look good by casting as many aspersions on Trump as he can. He may well try to snare an underling in a process crime. Whatever he does, it will be to hurt Trump and validate Comey.

They’re all dirty in DC. Trump is singlehandedly trying to drain the swamp. It’s a Herculean task at a minimum. I support him all the way.

[This particular article uses the term, “relationship.” There were at least half a dozen others that used the term, “friend.” If you don’t believe me, do a search for yourself.]

‘Robert Mueller has a serious conflict of interest that should disqualify him from serving as special counsel. 

He has had a long and close relationship with someone who will surely become a pivotal witness –James Comey. 

snip

‘How can Americans have confidence in the results if they know the special counsel may harbor a conspicuous bias?  They cannot.  The conflict inevitably discredits whatever conclusion is reached.  It renders the entire investigatory exercise suspect, and it only elevates the controversy surrounding it.    

For this reason, Mueller should not serve as special counsel.’

Even if all you say is true about Mueller and Comey, it still boils down to what Mueller can or cannot cobble together with his investigation and the subsequent indictments, if any.

Let me clarity my earlier reply: Even if all you say is true about Mueller and Comey, it still boils down to what Mueller can or cannot cobble together with his investigation and the subsequent indictments, if any, and the effectiveness of them if he does issue them.

My point is that Mueller will not be conducting a straightforward and honest investigation. If he were that type of individual, he’d have declined the job. He has a massive conflict of interest. Don’t imagine it will be anything other than center stage as he ‘investigates.’

Do you recall the travesty of justice that put Scooter Libbey in prison? Patrick Fitzgerald was supposed to find out who ‘outed,’ Valerie Plame. Richard Armitage admitted up front that he did it. But that didn’t make Bush look bad. So Fitzgerald committed prosecutorial misconduct in order to charge Libbey. It was a dirty investigation from start to finish.

Look for the same from Mueller. It’s coming.

Okay, name ONE piece of evidence that shows anyone is in trouble.

Just one.

Name ONE crime that supposedly happened.

Just one.

It's been since December that the democrat/media complex has been looking for either, yet you won't be able to find one answer for each question, and that ought to tell you something. Facts, we don't need no steenkin facts......

That you have bought the made up out of whole cloth narrative is pretty startling. Saying "things look worse than on inauguration day" without a shred of evidence or even an alleged crime may be the silliest post I've seen in a long time.
