Mueller Report

[Lewkowski]

You want us to read the lines where he outright tells Sessions it was his job as AG to protect Trump from special council investigations? I think we've read them, Lewk.

I think if you compare the articles of impeachment they got Nixon with, they could get Trump on every single one except bombing Cambodia if there were such a thing as principled Republic in Congress, or if the Dems had a spine.

Even on collusion, the report is far from an exoneration: we have Manafort sharing polling data with a Russian operative, we have DJR and Kushner meeting with a Russian to get dirt on Clinton, we have the Trump campaign and Trump himself aware of the impending Wikileaks e-mail dump and coordinating his campaign strategy around it, and so on and so on. Mueller wasn't able to get enough evidence to rise to the level of criminal conspiracy, but the report also points out that a lot of evidence was unavailable to him, or he was obstructed by witnesses lying, deleting emails, using encrypted chat programs etc.

In a normal political environment, the report would have been devastating, but sadly we're not in one.

You are joking right? Bill Clinton's impeachment set t he precedence that politicians don't need to vote based on what happened, they just do it on politics. There is 0 doubt that Clinton lied under oath and yet he's found innocent by the senate.

It's crazy how Democrats are so often the first to do something and then get all pissy when Republicans do it. Reid goes nuclear and that's fine but then Republicans do it, it is some sort of evil travesty.

Sorry, what part of that are you objecting to? The part where I said republicans in congress had no principles?
