Politico Worries that Russia Investigation Will Boomerang on Democrats

Although the liberal media is purposely avoiding the fact that the Trump-Russia collusion investigation is, as CNN's Van Jones noted in a candid moment, a big "nothing burger" most of the public has already reached that conclusion. Thus far Bob Mueller and his team of Democrat-donating investigators have only come up with a quickie inconclusive 20 minute meeting between Donald Trump, Jr. and a Russian lawyer. Hardly time for "collusion." This might explain why they are now on a fishing expedition for matters completely unrelated to Russia.

Meanwhile the public appears to be fed up with the Russia investigation to nowhere and the Mueller fishing expedition. As a result Politico is now worried that this will boomerang upon the Democrats in upcoming elections. Politico's David Siders worries about this today in Democrats fear Russia probe blowback:

This may be why Mueller is nearly begging Trump to fire him. RM looks like a cheat and doesn't have a good case. If DJT dies him, he'd be doing him and the Democrats a huge favor.

Probably a good reason to keep him and let him sink the Demonrats. Nobody will ever take Mueller seriously again.

The collusion thing is going to be next to impossible to prove...as long as no money shifted around and no promises were made. This has been said for several months now.

I think Mueller’s next angle might be tax fraud because they are looking for tax submissions and business deals. Because no wording was inserted on the exact crime...this becomes strictly a fishing expedition. But I would suggest that the minute that a single detail comes out via a leak from Mueller’s staff...they will be grounded for weeks and months while the AG appoints another independent prosecutor to review how the protected info got out. In a way, I think this is a baited trap for Mueller and his team. Trump might actually wrap up eight years before Mueller can proceed on with his investigation.

I hope so. I knew it would turn into a fishing expedition. Give Mueller a ham sandwich and call him done.

"I hope so. I knew it would turn into a fishing expedition. Give Mueller a ham sandwich and call him done."

Remember the Beria quote: Show me the man and I'll show you the crime.

Mueller is a weasel who helped train Comey to become one too.

He may be no good, but we/Trump doesn’t need to play into his hands. You can be sure Trump is getting very good advice on this. He’s playing it cool and the American people are on his side.

Anything they think they find on Trump prior to January 20, 2017 has to be dealt with AFTER Trump leaves office. He cannot be impeached for anything that happened before he was sworn it.

If they want to indict him then they have to impeach him first which they will never have the evidence to do.

Remember they will use it to also dig up campaign material for 2020 election.

Why is a news organization worried where an investigation might end? Talk about biased.

This is just a 24/7/365 smear campaign, part of the 2018 mid-terms strategy. Saw the same thing here in NJ with Chris Christie and “bridgegate”; never tied to him, but 95% of the public think he’s guilty. You don’t need evidence if the TV says it’s true 24/7/365...

Debbie Wasserman Schultz...thump...Debbie Wasserman Schultz...thump...Debbie Wasserman Schultz...thump...Debbie Wasserman Schultz...thump...Debbie Wasserman Schultz...thump...Debbie Wasserman Schultz.....

Nominated for Best Post of the Day.

==========================================

“Typhoid Debbie” was a pox on the DNC so they dumped her for fixing the primary for Hillary....

DNC Debbie "electronically rerouted" donations earmarked for Bernie’s into Hillary's campaign account.

Her Paki IT Awan surely musta helped her w/ that high-tech steal.

======================================

Now she’s in deep-doo-doo in the Awan IT espionage case.

Once, again she's facing the verdict of the DEMOcrat high command.

Justice will be swift and sure.

Struggling Democrats sure don't need another black eye from Me-First Debbie.

Dump her out of office.

Her defense will be “I was just following orders”

Then the plea deal will be negotiated to learn who gave the orders and the existence of the proof.

Did you know Awan was having drinks at a bar with Seth the night he was killed? Might explain DWS payments.
