I sure hope you’re right ... and I think you are.

[plain talk]

Yep. Absurd double standards and lawlessness. Trump is President and is in a position to deal with this. He needs to take action. Let’s see what he does.

[edh]

“Mueller is either a fool ...”

He isn’t that. Despite what people paint him as on Conservative websites, he is not a fool.

“... are trying to figure out a way to get himself fired for cause as a political stunt.”

This was my very first thought.

Very thirsty. We’re going to see just how strong our beloved POTUS is wrt exterminating the termites. The updated Patriot Act gives him the sweeping powers he will need to truly restore the public. Godspeed, Mr. President.

... At this point it definitely appears that the FBI has stopped investigating crimes and are now just looking for dirt. They seem to be operating now on the level of two bit Private Investigators and no longer fulfilling the sworn duties of investigating stated Crimes which is the only reason for their existence in the first place.

There aren't any crimes to investigate, and they know it...And likely IMO, this is why the IG has been sandbagging on the release of his report...They need something on Trump before the report is released...

Ping to posts 307 and 359.

Excellent posts.

All this does is to raise my ire to the point of being mad enough to fight. It was incredibly stupid on their part to go this far. I’m a last straw kind of person — very peaceful and avoiding conflict until I’m pushed too far. And then I go bat s-— crazy.

I know I’m not alone in feeling this way.

I couldn't agree more. I just hope that we are not in the minority, or this could very well be the last best hope at saving the republic.

The open borders crowd alone will kill of our country in another generation or two.

This is looking like the final straw. Question remains, how many who voted Trump into office will stick by him, even if he had sex with the porn actress nearly a decade before becoming POTUS.

I will!!!

There are only 4 or 5 Senators that side with the citizens and the rule of law, maybe 40-50 in the House.
We need a serious turnover in both chambers.

Fox news said that ACP doesn’t apply if the investigators get the AG (acting in this case) and the special prosecutor to sign off on an assumption that there is potential destruction of evidence in a serious criminal investigation. Rosenstein signed off on it being turned over to the Southern district Attorney in NYC (per Mueller’s ok), who then had the FBI raid all his (Cohen’s) places.

“If Trump goes down, the Republican party is finished. The MFers don’t understand that.”

The RINO’s could care less. They over 50% dimoKKKRAT anyways.

[Enduro Guy]

They’re not “trying” to pull the coup, they’re pulling the coup.

[R_Kangel]

.... It now looks like they are going after Cohen for Bank Fraud and Campaign Finance Violations.

This could be about investigating an alleged obstruction of justice.

And Cohen figured prominently in the Steele dossier. Despite the fact that Cohen provided his passport and explained that he never visited the Czech Republic, Mueller still appears to be using the dossier as his roadmap to investigating Trump.

The release of the IG report along with the Comey book is going to raise the profile and temperature of this witch hunt.

Mueller is raising the ante in hopes that he will get fired. He has nothing.

I smell mcstain!

[lysie]

Thank you. Makes sense.

[Engedi]

And just where is our Party leaders or any member of our party speaking out about the raid on Trump’s lawyer?

We have Republican President, majority in Congress and a Republican as Head of DOJ and our President has his lawyer raided.

And Hillary and Obama, Jarrett, Holder, Schumer, Pelosi, McConnell, Ryan, McCain are all laughing their butts off.

They now have lot of records and files and this investigation will go on and on- they had to do this because they knew they had nothing. In comes the plot with Stormy as a loophole to get access to records.

I honestly do not know how our President keeps going- no one is fighting for him- we have Repubs retiring verbally attacking him, our leaders smugly sit back and do nothing.

Not even close to that. The radio silence from Congress on Mueller’s coup is deafening.
