I'll repeat the question:

So senior Republican Party members commissioned a Republican (Mueller) to overturn the 2016 election of a republican president? Is that your argument? Because it's a crappy one if that is it.

You have a good point. Can you provide more evidence that the Mueller investigation was commissioned by senior Repubs?

"Eight days after Comey's dismissal, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein appointed Robert Mueller, under 28 CFR § 600.1, as special counsel to take over and expand an existing FBI counterintelligence investigation into possible Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections, as well as the FBI investigation into links between Trump associates and Russian officials that Comey was leading.[43][49][50] The special counsel also took over the FBI investigation into whether President Trump obstructed justice with Comey.[47] Rosenstein's authority to appoint Mueller arose due to Attorney General Jeff Sessions' March 2017 recusal of himself from investigations into the Trump campaign.[43][50][51]"

Rosenstein is a registered Republican, as is Mueller.

Thanks.

That Wapo piece isn't coming over, so a cut and paste:

"Rosenstein? A longtime registered Republican. Special counsel Robert S. Mueller III? He was a registered Republican when GOP President George W. Bush appointed him as FBI director, and he still was as of 2017. James B. Comey? A longtime registered Republican before testifying in 2016 that he no longer was. McCabe? As CNN reported recently, he voted in the 2016 Republican presidential primary."

You actually needed someone to point that out to you? This is not something that you already knew? I all seriousness, that indicates you really don't belong in this discussion at all.

The Mueller investigation was started two years ago. I have followed up with the results but have work and family stuff. Excuse me for forgetting the origins of the Mueller investigation.

For those of you who said they never heard Mueller speak, you will get your opportunity. He will testify to Congress later this month.

Nowhere in Mueller's report did he say he was letting the DOJ have the final call. He made it crystal clear that he was punting to Congress, NOT because he couldn't make a determination but because he was following the OLC guidelines about not indicting a sitting President.

Ridiculous comment that Mueller came up with nothing.

The Mueller investigation, in addition to all the indictments and people going to jail, and in addition to clearly defining how Russia affected our election to help Donald Trump, showed that Trump welcomed that help and then did just about everything in his power short of firing Mueller (which he tried to do) to stop (Obstruct) the investigation.

Mueller plays by the book and neither indicts nor recommends indictment, both of which he believes fall outside his authority based on DOJ guidelines, and then a corrupt William Barr comes in and completely mischaracterizes his report.

It is exhausting trying to educate you Trumpers.

Also:

1) "should have."

2) "Mueller."

Mueller is coming.

The clown is done.

Maybe you don't belong in this discussion. I am 58 and can probably beat you in a 5K running with 5 pound weights. You up for that?

Or are you going to say you were being sarcastic again?

Agip - remember how William Barr after his nomination was lauded by Repubs and Dems alike as being a man of integrity and how he had served in that position with great class. Once he issued his summary report that really came counter to what everyone on the left was expecting, the daggers and pitchforks came out. Morning Joe - "Barr is a lackey for the president." So many more instances where Barr has been pilloried simply for telling the truth. The truth that fails to achieve their motives to remove Trump from office.

Same with Mueller.

He was once lauded by Dems as a man of integrity. Now he's an incompetent boob to them since he didn't bring the goods.

You and Flagpole still on? What was the date again?

Since a few of you like to make fun of Trump's kids, I got new one for ya. Take a look at Creepy Uncle Joe's son, Hunter. He had a dishonorable discharge for cocaine use, left his wife and kids for his brother’s widow. So classy.

re; Barr - He had a good reputation. He blew it up in a few weeks with his behavior surrounding the release of the mueller report. Just today he said 'we' haven't decided on executive priviledge issues. Meaning him and the president. I think there was a lot of surprise among dems that Barr would behave so badly and lie to congress and mislead the american people in order to protect King Spanky.

Mueller's reputation is intact. I don't hear many complaints about him from Dems. Mueller proved obstruction and now it's up to the congress to do something about it. Or prosecutors, after Trump leaves office.

And remember there are a dozen ongoing investigations. With a criminal org in the WH the criming will never stop, and neither will the investigations.

OK, but I don't believe that story applies to The Lovely Mrs. Flagpole. She enjoyed her time working at the HHS under then Secretary Donna Shalala. She wrote Health policy and part of Clinton's speeches whenever he talked about Health policy. As a Ph.D, student in immunology, you really are just working in the lab most of the time, and so that was 5+ years of lab work looking for ways to combat HIV and AIDS. She has published papers on her work at Stanford, so that was real work. Following two more years at the University of Michigan for a MA in Public Policy is when took the job with the HHS in DC. Once we had kids, my earning power was enough to support us, and she wanted to be a stay at home mom. After 15 years of that and the kids not needing her around all the time, she took a professorship at a University. There was never a moment of her not knowing what to do with her life. She knew exactly what she wanted and did exactly that and is still doing exactly that.

You know, one thing you learn in grad school is that no one cares you're in grad school and they don't want to hear about your research. This is like that except double because it's not even you, it's your wife! And on top of that, this is an anonymous message board!

There's at least 2 orders of magnitude of not giving a sh!t here
