The reason for a Special Counsel is that the prosecutor in office would not be able to prosecute his or her boss. These indictments do not have that situation in place, so it is still a hoax. That’s because there wasn’t and still isn’t a criminal investigation against the Attorney General’s boss.

It already is a total hoax!

We do not even have an extradition treaty with the Russians so they will never appear in a U.S. court of law. End of story!

This article is written by the "Giant Sixth Grade Brain Journalists" at CNN. What do u expect?

Why did we need to institute a special counsel to go after these 13 Russians for identity theft?

Now if they'll sic the mule on the millions of illegals and identity theft then they can crow about millyuns of indictments.

When you get caught with a mouth full of shit you got to mumble something and in the case of CNN it is just more shit.

This was a left wing politically motivated witch hunt that blew up in their faces.

Screw the left, I’m going to have a blast rubbing their noses in this “left wing BS witch hunt” for years to come.

NO matter how many lies they told or how often they told them making believe that every single one was true, they were all lies told by left wing liars....

Every time we have a conversation with a lefty we need to initiate the conversation by asking them if they were one of those liars.

Trump in 2020 is now a sure thing.

Actually the goalpost has moved. The investigation is not a total hoax, since it found this strange troll farm. But it is not much more that that - “not a total hoax”.

“I’m missiing something as I do not know what the Russians did that made a difference. What is the hysteria about?”

They think the russians made the people of the US privy to the words of the DNC. Basically by releasing the DNC emails that showed how the DNC fixed the primary against bernie, then colluded to give hillary the debate questions as well as displaying the general attitude that the dems believe their voting base are a bunch of rubes, sheep, and lemmings.

I noticed Andy McCarthy over the last week pushing the meme that Special Counsel Mueller’s job is to run counterintelligence on what Russia was doing during the election.

If this is what you thought McCarthy was saying you REALLY need to go back and re-read him.

Really.

"I noticed Andy McCarthy over the last week pushing the meme that Special Counsel Mueller’s job is to run counterintelligence on what Russia was doing during the election."

If this is what you thought McCarthy was saying you REALLY need to go back and re-read him.

Really.

Quoting McCarthy from a recent article:

"As for Special Counsel Mueller, his principal mission from Day One has been to conduct a counterintelligence investigation aimed at learning exactly what Russia did to meddle in our election so that we can respond and blunt future threats. That mission is not in any way discredited by the committee’s memo [showing the FISA warrant was obtained on unverified Hillary campaign oppo]."

Because the absolute necessity of a special counsel to investigate the corruption in the DOJ and FBI is becoming apparent to every honest person, the GOP Establishment and defenders of the DOJ like McCarthy are setting up the argument as why there should NOT be a special counsel to prosecute McCarthy's old pals like Comey.

This spin that the Special Counsel should not be thought of as founded on the phony allegations in the Steele dossier, but is merely a counterintelligence investigation of Russia is intended to protect the swamp dwellers from being held to account for trying to come after President Trump on the basis of a dossier they knew was phony.

We didn't NEED a special counsel if his job is simply a counterintelligence investigation against Russia. We already have people in the DOJ, FBI and CIA paid to do that.

What this means is that swamp is nervous that their fake Russia/trump collusion story is daily being exposed as a DNC/FBI operation. Mueller had to indict some Russians for making Facebook posts to cover their butts...Russians who will NEVER see trial to prove or disprove the indictment because they’re in Russia. The noose is closing but not on Trump. It’s closing on the swamp who made up the Russia/Trump collusion story to justify spying on a candidate for President of the US.
