I am not an attorney, but I don’t think conspiracy is a crime either.

But "Mueller and Rosenstein are Republicans."

So sick of this line.

Who cares if Mueller registered as a Republican 30 years ago? The Republican President from 30 years ago, GHWB, voted against Trump and for Hillary in 2016.

Rosenstein probably voted for Hillary, too.

Note to President Trump: Sir, every time you answer the Russian collusion thingy, you give it credence and more life...the accusation would die a natural death as there is no evidence/proof of such a thing. Collusion? What collusion, you're wasting my time and the American people's time.

Giuliani is doing more harm than good...imho.

Rudy's saying; 'why waste resources looking for something that isn't even a crime?'

Of course, we know why. It's all they've got to hold onto.

That is only half the quote; for the remaining part he says they have nothing, to clean it up.

Will be of no consequence. Let the Democrats try and get 67 votes in the US Senate after that, especially since they are tracking to lose at least 4 more seats in the US Senate come November.
Bill Clinton was impeached by The House, but that did not stop him serving his full term. Trump is much, much tougher than Bill Clinton ever was.

“””””Ummmm Trump publicly months ago pointed out “collusion” is not a crime.”””””””””””””””””

And the nutless wonders in the Republican leadership SHOULD be saying this every single day. Instead, as usual, they let the media set the narrative.

THIS article by one of many an enemy of our civilization CNBC is attempting to make ancient news modern again. We were told in 2016 that collusion “WAS NOT A CRIME” by none other than retired Judge Andrew Napolitano during many appearances on FOX, mostly the Varney program in the mornings.

THIS article is reviving that fact to try to make it sound as though Rudy Giuliani is trying to side step the importance of the finding by claiming what we were all told almost two years ago.

THIS article is basically a leftist tactic to smear, and a tactic as old, and worn as they come.

"...if Dems take House Trump won’t be impeached? Of course he will."

On what grounds? Muller was never properly appointed, he and his merry group of liberal lawyers have extreme conflict of interests in this witch hunt - the left wrote the book on Double Standards for Dummies.

The article’s even worse. By saying “As recently as Sunday, the president took to Twitter to repeat the claim” they’re subtly suggesting that the President’s position has changed, which it hasn’t.

Mueller was installed for two reasons: 1. Help Democrats win back the House and freeze the Trump agenda, 2. Help Democrats defeat Trump in 2020. “Crimes” are totally irrelevant. Lawrence Walsh indicted Cap Weinberger 3 days before the 1992 election. The case was thrown out by the judge, but the damage to H.W. Bush was already done.

Yes. Did you see his live call in on Fox during Outnumbered? What a fiasco. He had the entire panel wondering what in the hell he was trying to say. He was talking about a second meeting that took place in T Tower saying you might here about it but if you do it didn’t happen and DJT wasn’t there. Again, this raised eyebrows for the panel. Harris Faulkner was trying to help him out, but it was just cringey.

The only positive is that he stated that there is a 2 hour Cohen tape between Cohen and Chris Cuomo from CNN.

“But “Mueller and Rosenstein are Republicans.”

So are Jeff Fluke and Ben Asse.

Two separate Statements of Fact. Facts confuse Leftists.

“collusion isn’t a crime. conspiracy is a crime.”

And conspiracy is only a crime if you are conspiring to commit...an actual CRIME.

Mueller will imply that President Trump colluded with Putin, but actual charges will be attempted for obstruction of justice. The outcome will be something like:

1.) Un-indicted co-conspirator

2.) Charges of perjury; lying to the FBI

That is how (politicized) federal prosecutors roll. Just ask Scooter Libby and Martha Stewart.

Thought for the day. Just under 20% of Russians voted for a socialist or communist in the last election. Here according to Gallup, around 37% of Americans call themselves socialist, and over half of millenials do.
All of the leadership of the largest party in America is socialist.

All this “Russia interferring” is nothing but American socialists furious at Russia for heading down the road of nationalism, resurgent christianity, and stopping the perversion of homosexuality as a social force.
