There’s peril for Democrats in Mueller report

All of Washington is focused on the political peril President Trump faces from Robert Mueller’s investigation. But the Mueller probe could very well turn out to be a disaster, not for Trump, but for the Democrats.

The special counsel was appointed to investigate whether Trump engaged in a criminal conspiracy with Russia to win the 2016 presidential election. If Mueller finds incontrovertible evidence of a criminal conspiracy between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, then the president will be — and should be — removed from office. But it is also possible that Mueller will not find evidence that Trump conspired with Russia, and that Mueller or federal prosecutors in New York’s Southern District will find evidence for some other charge unrelated to a conspiracy with Russia, such as Trump’s hush-money payments to alleged former mistresses or crimes related to Trump’s family business.

That would be a nightmare scenario for Democrats, for three reasons.

First, their base would demand that the new Democratic House majority impeach Trump, even if the charges have nothing to do with Russia. The “resistance” does not care about Russia; it cares about getting rid of Trump, and any pretext will do. The pressure from the grass roots to impeach the president would be hard, if not impossible, for the new Democratic majority in the House to resist....

[abclily]

The Mueller investigation is revealing more and more Democrat Dirt.

[Williams]

I understand the article but I disagree with 90% of the negative comments about Trump. Also there is no such thing as a “criminal conspiracy” with Russia to win the election. And the difference here is Clinton had the media behind him. This will be different.

[TheDandyMan]

Nah there’s not. Men like Flynn will get publicly ripped by a judge for falling into a perjury trap while the Clintoons will walk free forever.

[2ndDivisionVet]

You see 20 Repub1icans in the senate voting to convict?

[minnesota_bound]

If Trump does not do something he will be tweeting to Ivanka and Don jr. “Good luck” when they are being sentenced.

If stoopnagle Mueller ever finds incontrovertible evidence of a criminal conspiracy between Trump and Putin.
that would be a miracle in itself.... All of the available evidence points to the Halfrican Billy, and Hillary.------
the paper trail is long and wide.

HILLARY'S STATE DEPT----AND THE OBAMA YEARS---UNRELENTING SCANDAL
By Ari Lieberman/ frontpagemagazine.com

EXCERPT The taxpayer financed-Skolkovo Scandal – While serving as secretary of state, Clinton oversaw a program meant to “reset” relations with Moscow and improve ties. The program centered around the Russian city of Skolkovo near Moscow with the stated aim of “identifying areas of cooperation and pursuing joint projects and actions that strengthen strategic stability, international security, economic well-being, and the development of ties between the American and Russian people.”

Hillary's State Dept program transformed Skolkovo into a technology hub akin to a Silicon Valley. Sensitive American technology was transferred to the Russians, substantially enhancing their military and cyber capabilities. The US Army and the FBI concluded that Russia had exploited the program for military applications.

The FBI warned American technology companies doing business in Skolkovo that the Skolkovo project was a means by which the Russians would acquire dual use technologies and apply them for military ends. According to investigative author Peter Schweizer, Russian and American companies and individuals involved in the Skolkovo fiasco “had major financial ties to the Clintons.”

Moreover, during the Russian reset period, those entities provided the Clintons with “tens of millions of
dollars” in the form of “contributions to the Clinton Foundation, paid for speeches by Bill Clinton, or
investments in small start-up companies with deep Clinton ties.”

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

Of all the spurious excuses she gives for her loss, the most ludicrous is that
Hillary says she lost her "sure-thing election" because "Putin doesn't like me."
Comey sucked up big-time--told Congress Putin wanted to “harm Hillary.”

Hillary once bragged that she, alone, was brought into Putin's inner sanctum
where she assured Putin she was worried about wildlife like he was.

Putin whispered to an attentive Hilary that they were BFF.

Secy Hillary and Obama were eager to please Russia w/ the friendly reset button.
Hillary later said the reset gambit was Obama's and her idea "to strengthen Russia."

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

Ex-Pres Clinton is s-o-o-o-o friendly he traveled to Russia to clinch the uranium giveaway deal.
And to pocket a $500,000 dollar speaking fee from a Moscow bank plus a sizeable commission.

Billybooboo even laid his "Hot Damn Hokey Hillbilly Act" on Putin.

He can pardon them Einstein.

Sentenced for what???????

"The Mueller investigation is revealing ignoring more and more Democrat Dirt."

Fixed it for ya...

Yeah, there's plenty to be found, but most Americans will never see or hear a word of it. The MSM is working like a cat in a litter box to keep it covered-up.

[ConservativeDude]

I agree with that.

I also think it is significant that the results of the midterms were pretty bad for Trump, and while the economy was strong. Really unprecedented turnout, and unprecedented against a President in a midterm with a strong economy.

So we are in uncharted waters.

And I don’t think things look great for this awesome President.

I’m hoping someone can calmly and rationally explain Trump’s path to re-election in light of the midterm numbers, in light of Scott Walker’s defeat, etc. I think he’s really going to have to pull a rabbit out of a hat. I don’t know where all those democrat voters came from for the midterms.....

[DJ Frisat]

"HILLARY'S STATE DEPT----AND THE OBAMA YEARS---UNRELENTING SCANDAL"

Say, what?! I have it on good authority that there wasn't a hint of a scandal during the Obama terms!

(Honey, pass my throw-up pot over here, willya?)

[bert]

Simple

He will have thousands if consipracy indictments that will in effect destroy the democrat Party

[ronnie raygun]

We know who the guilty ones are and the republicans are sitting on their hands and refuse to carry it further

[Alas Babylon!]

Trump’s supporters knew about his affairs and shady business dealings in 2016. They knew about the “Access Hollywood” tape, where he bragged about grabbing women by their private parts. They knew he boasted about ogling Miss Universe contestants as they were getting dressed and publicly fat-shamed a Miss Universe winner for gaining weight. They knew about the evidence that students were ripped off by the for-profit Trump University (which was not actually a university). They knew that he has been credibly accused of using his charity, the Trump Foundation, to self-deal, including using $258,000 from its coffers to settle legal disputes. They knew about the bankruptcy of his Atlantic City casinos and the allegations that he failed to pay workers and contractors.

They knew all this, and voted for him anyway.

We also knew about JFK's sexual affairs and his constant cheating on his wife.

Oh, and his brother, Ted? He killed a woman and got away with it, and you made him the "Lion of the Senate."

We knew about Doris Kearns Goodwin schtupping LBJ.

We knew FDR died in his mistress's arms in Warm Springs.

We knew about Bill Clinton and his wife and ALL of their crooked deals--hey, how do you make $100,00 on cattle futures in one year, beginner's luck?

We knew about Obama's phony birth certificate and hidden college records.

So let's be real, Marc. NONE of your past many democrat presidents have been more virtuous than Donald Trump. Maybe Truman. But all the rest were despicable sleazebags, too.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Truman came from the Pendergast machine/mob.

[central_va]

This investigation will go on for decades. There will never be a report.

[Liz]

LOL......good one.

[The Toll]

There is no “peril” for Democrats in America.

[ought-six]

So, where are all the subpoenas served on Dems? Where are all the indictments against Dems? Where is ANYTHING against Dems?
