Makes sense. I’ve been of the opinion Mueller saw the NDA as a Waterloo - so he shifted into high gear and pretended to be investigating the Democrats.
I think it’s all a show, of course, IMHO.
Mueller was sent to get Trump and that is what he will do come hell or high water.
Collusion isnt a crime. So what Mueller will do is to re-define something that is a crime as collusion. After all, if his buddy Comey can read intent into the law regarding the handling of classified information, Mueller can easily find a way to re-define money laundering, or taking a meeting, or whatever as being equivalent to collusion and thus a crime.
But it isnt Trump who will be charged. Instead, Mueller will leave that alone. His mission is to establish that someone, anyone in Trumps campaign fits his (Muellers) new, improved and criminalized definition of collusion. Once that is done his mission of giving the democrats something to start impeachment proceedings has been accomplished.
This is a coup detat and they dont care if you and I know it. They are, as a matter of fact, in your face about it on purpose.
The events that got us here are staggering.
1) Where was the probable cause to start the investigation in the first place? Was it based on unmasked surveillance which itself was obtained based on the Fusion GPS dossier? Anyway, this was a “seriousness of the charge” investigation from the get go.
2) What exactly is the law being broken here? Collusion is not against the law. Even if there was evidence of collusion would it form probable cause that a crime was committed?
3) We know only one party that actually used a foreign entity to obtain information harmful to an opposition candidate.
4) Based on the smoke and no fire hysteria, the AG recused himself based on merely taking a meeting with a Russian official. From there on it was a democrat run operation. Yet we now know that Sessions is the only one in this kerfuffle who hasnt in some way been tainted by a dealing with Russia, i.e. involvement in an investigation, tanking said investigation or approving a sale of a strategic asset to Russia.
4) Comey was fired with the consultation of the very person who appointed Comeys best buddy to investigate Russian Collusion and whether Trump fired Comey to stop an investigation that there was no probably cause to begin in the first place or that was started based on a phony dossier. Yeah, that Deputy AG is now running the guy running the investigation.
5) Comey admitted to leaking information in order to get a special prosecutor appointed. Just staggering. The guy manipulated the government to get his best buddy appointed to investigate something that may well implicate Comey.
6) Now we find out that Mueller himself was involved in something that started as a counter intel investigation and then migrated to a bribery investigation regarding attempts to obtain a strategic asset. That investigation was tanked and the sale went through anyway.
7) And here we are with Mueller, that guy, handing down indictments or leaking about them being handed down, even though they are sealed, at the very moment the calls for him to resign have become deafening.
Swamp!?!? Calling DC a swamp is an insult to swamps. Oh no, DC is the City State where the permanent ruling class reside. Non-members aren’t welcome there and will be evicted. You don’t like it? Eat poop, pay your taxes and watch more CNN.
