That is NOT what that means. Has to do with those indictments only. You are delusional if you continue to think Trump and his inner circle aren't in serious trouble. Don't forget the Southern District of New York too...Lanny Davis has already thrown down the gauntlet, basically calling Trump and Guiliani keepers of their own truth that doesn't jive with the real truth.
Mueller is coming.
The clown is done.
Conveniently, the new Mueller indictment is once again heavy on assertion and light on tangible evidence. Since these indicted Russians are foreign adversaries, the so-called evidence can be concealed in perpetuity on "national security" grounds. Mueller can go on indicting a hundred more Russians and none of them will be tied to the Trump campaign.
The last time Mueller indicted Russians, one of them showed up in court demanding a trial. Mueller told the court he wasn't ready, and also that the Russian couldn't demand a trial because he hadn't served a subpoena correctly. Mueller is either an excruciatingly incompetent prosecutor or he has no case. Your wet dreams about Mueller need a reality check.
Your day of reckoning/Flagpolian Flop is coming
Mueller never

Conservative here. The only difference between Trump and other politicians is that when he lies, he makes no serious effort to hide it. Unlike Obama, who could somehow make 3/8 of the country believe it was a good idea to give billions of dollars to a corrupt dictator. Or make people believe that Benghazi was caused by some youtube video. We all support liars if they're in our party. Fact of the matter is, I'll take a liar who creates jobs and strengthens security than a liar whose only experience was a community organizer. Nobody lied more than that fraud Barrack Hussein Obama.
You’ll also take a liar who doesn’t create jobs and strenthen security but just lies about it instead it seems.

Now substitute the word Obama with Trump. You'll be on the right track.

Let me ask you a few questions to focus your thoughts.
Do you think Hillary lost to Obama because of Russian bots? Why or why not? Why do you think Hillary lost to Obama? Why do you think Hillary lost to Trump?
You're going back 10 years for Hillary vs Obama.
I don't think Russian bots were as sophisticated then and I don't know if they preferred Obama.
But Obama was a better candidate than Hillary. He had better grass roots and on the ground campaign. And Hillary had been damaged by Republican propaganda.
Hillary mostly lost to Trump because of a geographical concentration of Democrats in fewer states. She lost because of the design of the electoral college while receiving millions more votes across the country.
But why did she lose PA, MI and WI? Or Ohio and Florida for that matter? (And how did Trump lose Virginia?)
Those states were all close.
You have to believe that money and advertising affects people's votes, right?
Otherwise why would so much money be spent in campaigns?
Trump got tons of free advertising because every news outlet kept playing or commenting on his outrageous remarks. And those remarks, that antagonized many also intrigued many would be supporters. Nothing illegal about that.
And the promotions of Russian bots with fake news stories also gave Trump tons of free advertising. Not illegal either if Trump was not involved. But if he was aware and helped in away, that is treasonous.
In the end, people are responsible for making up their own minds when they vote.
More people in those swing states, for whatever reason, chose to vote for Trump.
There was a very effective smear campaign on Hillary that had been in place for over a decade leading up to the 2016 election. The Democrats didn't put anyone against her in the primaries (Bernie is an Independent).

Roger Stone. Paging Roger Stone.
You forgot Bannon/Mercer at Cambridge Analytica.
Where is lover boy, Michael Flynn?? Trump's entire campaign will need bigly loans from Russian Oligarchs to pay for their defense.
oh wait,. page, papadopulous DID have a connection to trump and his campaign.
Those two knuckleheads had trips to Russia before being plucked from obscurity to be a part of the trump campaign. Which, according to Trump were uninportant. The Ryan memo explains it.
So many felons!

This whole Mueller investiagtion proves that the Establishment in DC would rather see the world burn before they let someone like Trump be President.
It's time to clean house in the DOJ, IRS, and FBI.
Clean house in those agencies? Really? The FBI is staffed mostly with Republicans. You want to risk taking all of them out of there?
Your problem is that since YOU can't imagine being able to perform a job that requires that bias doesn't factor into your decisions, you don't believe anyone else can. It's not that hard...it's called integrity. Most people don't have a lack of integrity and morals like Trump does.

Forgot to comment on this gem. What a bunch of BS.
Sane people don't want to see Trump as president. Has nothing to do with the establishment.
Why don't sane people want Trump to be President?:
Money Laundering
Obstruction of Justice
Collusion in the form of Conspiracy and/or bribery
Emoluments clause violation
The 19 sexual assault accusations including at least two who have been paid hush money that we found out after the election violating campaign finance laws
Grabbing women by the pvssy.
Turns out the "Best People" that Trump said he would surround himself with are criminals. Nice. If Trump isn't guilty of any crime (but he is), he is at least guilty of staffing his White House with the most incompetent criminal group of people ever.
The lies...the serial lying.
Cozying up to Putin
Greatly criticizing our allies (and then lying that he did so)
Has a son, a former campaign manager and son in law who purposefully took a meeting with Russians to get dirt on Hillary Clinton. Don Jr. said "I love it" and told the Russians when to release the dirt on Hillary. THAT is conspiracy.
The praise for all dictators near and far yet while criticizing American heroes like John McCain.
His personal lawyer's office is raided. This is important because Cohen really had no other clients for the last 12 or so years.
He's a racist. He's a sexist. He's a misogynist. He's an ego maniac with the thinnest skin I have ever even heard of.
Sane Americans are tired of his rhetoric. Everyone is either the worst person in the world or the best in the world.
He's just flat dumb and unprepared for the office and famously doesn't want to learn anything.
He has set the record for golfing after telling us all he wouldn't have time. Talk about wasting taxpayer money.
He watches television most of the time.
He's just a grade A a$$hole.
Of all of that though, the most important thing is that he's a criminal, one who is jeopardizing our national security and sanctity of our elections.
He will be found out and punished.
Mueller is coming.
The clown is done.
The Mueller indictments thus far have been underwhelming.
Let's hope he gets to the big fish soon.
Good morning! How are all you LRC stable geniuses doing this fine am?
If we can keep this up we should be able to get to 1 MILLION posts on this thread sometime around the year 2063!
Won't that be awesome?
How do y’all think the Trump-Putin summit will play out?
My guess...
1) Trump will raise the issue of Russian interference in the 2016 elections—he’ll do this in an uncharacteristicly polite way instead of being confrontational as he was with our longtime allies
2) Putin will deny direct Russian government interference in our elections
3) Putin will then present Trump with evidence of US interference in the 2012 Russian elections AND in Ukrainian politics prior to the Russian invasion of that sovereign country
4) Trump will 100% get gaslighted by Putin and accept his “evidence” of US “wrong doing”
5) Trump will turn to “whataboutism” in regards to prior US actions (despite his “America First” perspective which should mean defending the US and not apologizing as many have suggested prior administrations have done....remember cries of a US “apology tours” by prior POTUSs?) and blame Obama and Clinton for “being unfair” to Russia
6) Pro-Russian LRC trolls like Bad Wiggins will praise Trump’s handling of the situation

I agree with everything but #2. Putin will admit Russian government interference in the election in 2016. But, he’ll say it was justified based on #3.
Trump will get Putin to state publicly that the Russians will not interfere in future US elections if the US doesn’t interfere in internal Russian affairs. Trump will agree. He’ll pardon all Russians indicted so far by Mueller, say there is no need to continue his investigation, and declare victory.

The economy is firing on all cylinders
A strong dollar helps keeps imports inexpensive
Food stamp usage at 8 year lows
Unemployment at 17 year lows
GDP on pace to hit 3% growth for the year.

And none of that absolves Trump of his crimes even IF he were responsible for all that goodness (he isn't...just continued upward swing from the Great Recession that was predicted even before Trump announced he was running). This great economy was predicted by me several years ago, and I said it would happen no matter who was President. I was right of course.
But, enough about my greatness...the main thing that will benefit the world is that...
