Full Title:
First charges in Russian interference investigation prove probe is no witch hunt despite critics who cry 'fake news'


Totally predictable; Useful idiot author does not know who will be charged, what they will be charged with or what evidence the FBI has but is convinced the Russian probe is not political.

It proves NOTHING. Who was it that said “You could indict a ham sandwich” ?

Um, until we know whom it targeted and for what alleged crimes AND how good the evidence is, it doesn’t prove anything.

Scooter Libby’s jail time had nothing to do with central purpose of the Plame investigation, for example. It was just a perjury trap to ensnare someone, anyone at the White House on anything at all, when the person who actually revealed Plame’s identity was a) not in the White House, b) not a friend of the people the investigator was trying to ensnare at the White House, c) not even charged with anything, and c) known from the beginning of that never-ending fustercluck.

“First charges in Russian interference investigation prove probe is no witch hunt”

Association fallacy

An association fallacy is an informal inductive fallacy of the hasty-generalization or red-herring

If the charges are just that Flynn or Manafort made misstatements in their disclaimers then I don’t think it proves much.

I've said since day 1 that Mueller HAS to come up with something to justify the time and money spent. My guess, Manafort and/or Flynn with be charged with some sort of “process violation” such as making false statements or the like. Then in a few months Mueller will issue a report basically saying Trump is a most likely a crook, but he was such a good crook the investigation couldn't produce any actual evidence of it. Then the democrats will have what they want, a hit piece to use in the 2018 and 2020 elections and Mueller will look like he didn't just waste million of dollars.

It will probably be a non-event, something like technical violations by someone like Natalia Veselnitskaya and friends.

the reporting, if true, should put to rest, with right-thinking folks (no pun intended) in this country, the notion that the special counsel's investigation is a hoax or a witch hunt or fake news

These guys seem to be jumping the gun a little bit.

I expect the indictment (if there really is one) will be some low-level schmuck who stonewalled on their interview with investigators (like Scooter Libby did) and the indictment will be some trumped up obstruction of justice charge. That will be enough for the MSM and Hillary and her supporters to shout "AHA! Told you so!"

I don’t understand why this remains sealed until Monday. Why not send a couple marshals and arrest the perp. Does the individual indicted already know?

Just a political move by Mueller to make people think he’s actually doing something. I call BS.

My wishful thinking:

When Trump said “witch hunt” he was saying this whole investigation was about Hillary(the witch) from the beginning.

This needs a barf warning. Predictable, yes. But more than that, the Left’s chortling is profoundly disgusting and signals a disastrous turn in this country that is not likely ever to be undone. Not in whatever is left of my lifetime, anyway. The state of our nation today is beyond heartbreaking.

probably disinformation which is a message to Mueller:

“This isn’t a lifetime job. Get your butt in gear or get out.”

It would be consistent with Trump’s overall approach.

“While we still don’t know exactly who has been indicted — or on what kinds of charges — the reporting, if true . . .”

And this is the sad state of “journalism” in America today.

You are exactly right. We don't know: (1) if anyone has been charged, (2) who is being charged, and (3) what they were charged with.

And given how much fake news has been promulgated by the Lamestream Media since Jan 20th, people should know by now to wait for events to develop. Meanwhile, David "Rodham" Gergen and Carl Bernstein are claiming that the dam is about to bust (metaphorically speaking). They know less than Jon Snow.

If Trump Jr. indicted, it’s going to get very ugly.

This whole thing is so pathetic. Just think of all the indictments that should have come down on the Obama/Clinton scandals.

Indictments rare easy to hand out and much harder to prosecute, but it is passing strange that when Mueller is facing criticism and calls to resign because of his lack of action during the Uranium One investigation which has ties to Russia, Putin, the Clinton’s and others, the sudden announcement that an indictment is coming should come as no surprise.

Trump should fire Mueller, and everybody associated with Mueller including Rod Rosenstein, and Andrew McCabe. These three and Comey were instrumental in covering up the Uranium One scandal for the Clinton’s. As always, follow the money and I’m pretty sure that they will discover that these 4 individuals were paid off handsomely for their inaction.
