I am starting to believe this “investigation” is really just political theater designed to rile the base.
A revelation here, a drip there. And it grinds into the second year with everyone still in their jobs, no change whatsoever, and even Jeff Sessions at DOJ pushing to keep information secret. the only “special counsel” is still Mueller, appointed by a holdover Assistant AG Rosenstein, accountable to no one, still chasing Russian ghosts.
Him and another republican congressmen said this morning the FBI should be able to see the Memo before its released
They can’t expose too much of the corruption of the Kenyanesian Usurpation without exposing their own culpability.
The all knew Obama was not a natural born citizen.
He told us he was born a British subject because of his foreign national father.
“Mueller, appointed by a holdover Assistant AG Rosenstein, accountable to no one”
*****************
And this is what happens when there is NO ACCOUNTABILITY. This should never happen in a democracy. Its a recipe for abuse.
It’s the election stupid!
Timing is of the essence to allow maximum unrecoverable damage
Normally, I would agree. However, I believe that McCabe and Rosenstein are in CYA mode by re-opening the Hillary email crimes and the Clinton Foundation potential crimes. I believe they saw all these leaks coming. Why Trump appointed them is beyond my understanding.
I have been cautioning everyone to not let themselves get too worked up over this. In the end, it is going to be a disappointment.
Rosenstein is not a holdover. He was appointed by Trump and approved by the Senate. He is Trump’s guy, not Obama’s.
Sadly, I agree.
Roosterhead defends Mulehead.
And now goes against Nunes on release on Memo.
What do you Feepers who are constantly defending Roosterhead
have to say about this new development?

That;s why Nunes’ memo is brilliant strategy. The memo summarizes the information taken from thousands of documents obtained from the DOJ. One this summary is released to the general public it will outrage everyone about he abuse of power. The American public will demand to know the underlying facts derived in this summary, forcing specific evidence to be publicly revealed that will show criminal conspiracy.
I flip around the channels on Sunday mornings for the cable news programs to see what the media is saying about the news in the past week.
For months now it has been nothing but "Trump colluded with Russia, Trump's campaign colluded with Russia, Trump is guilty of colluding with Russia, blah, blah, blah, yada, yada, yada".
But this morning, I noticed a distinct difference.
It was non-stop, "Did Trump obstruct justice?....Trump thought about firing Mueller last summer....Isn't that obstruction of justice?"
Now just "thinking" about doing something has turned into a felonious, impeachable offense according to the MSM.
Forget collusion with Russia. Now the target of the MSM is Trump's obstruction of justice.
I don't watch the cable news the rest of the week, just Sunday mornings.
I don't know why I punish myself on Sunday mornings.
I’ve been saying the same for a while...it’s cover for the GOP since they wont pass anymore of Trump’s agenda....instead, they toss out the investigations, the allegations, the text messages, the memo....we’ve seen this act before....
Heck, even if the memo is damning, unless DOJ presses charges and people go to jail, it wont have much impact on anyone.
So many on FR think Clinton and Obama et al are going to jail....not happening, not now, not ever.
“...just political theater...”

That’s definitely what it looks like to me. So far. I’ve seen this movie at the Political Theater before. And I don’t even like to watch movies I like more than once.
As long as the current DOJ configuration is kept, the Deep State will remain. Sessions should have been the one to reconfigure it. But he's recused, and he's left Deep State RosenSwamp in charge.
So that leaves it up to the president to take the slings and arrows. Thanks Jeff.
We’ll have a better sense of it this week. They’ve indicated the memo will be released. If it isn’t, they you are right.

Yep. The GOPe are keeping us in the weeds and leading us by the nose from one text message to the next instead of looking the big picture conspiracy and demanding resignations/criminal proceedings.
You are absolutely correct! At first I wondered what was delaying the release of the memo, but then I concluded that it was being withheld for maximum effect. Perhaps tomorrow, or just before The State of The Union, might be when it is released.
Not so much to "rile" the base as to turn out the base in 2018.
I think that the Democrats have settled on a two-pronged approach: 1) deny Trump victories to depress his base (e.g., the recent DACA deals), and 2) focus on retaking the House.
The Mueller investigation is being used to lay the foundation for the Democrats 2018 GOTV plan, while Senate Democrats focus on the first prong of slowing down Trump's agenda.
