Another one bites the dust. This is the 20th person to be charged by Mueller. I believe all pretense of this being a hoax are “Fake News” . Based on Donald and Donald JR. tweets they are starting to panic.
http://thehill.com/...es-with-making-falseAt Mueller's current rate, I'm more worried about him finding out I skipped school a lot as a teenager than him actually charging Trump with anything.
He is definitely methodical. It would be nice if he could pick up the pace a bit and get to the end of this one way or the other. But I am not sure that is a realistic hope.
You need to keep your ducks in a row when your investigation involves the president. But Mueller is certainly moving along. Recall that Ken Starr's investigation went on for over four years.
Leaving aside those Russian troll farmers, has one single person -- including that Dutch lawyer -- been indicted for anything remotely related to colluding with the Russians to steal the election away from Felonia Milhous von Pantsuit? Seems like it's either been for lying to federal investigators -- a process crime -- or for a bit of corruption related to things they were doing with Ukraine and Russia (a little Yulia "Gas Princess" Tymoshenko and Viktor "Russia's Best Friend" Yanukovych mischief) before they teamed up on Trump's campaign.
The answer to your question is no. The context to the answer is in the post you responded to. But you knew both already.
Your question is what Fox has been asking for about 10 months. You're better than that.
If Mueller finds Trump et al have broken financial laws with Russian money, how will you respond?
Don't care about Fox, or CNN, MSNBC or all the others. The question is a valid one. Where is the special counsel going with all of this? Because it sure doesn't seem like he's going anywhere near what was alleged, sometimes hysterically, beginning the day after the election in 2016.
Like I've said before, maybe he has something and he's just being methodical and it will all come out in the wash. But it sure doesn't look that way right now. Looks more like he's kicking at scattered ant hills and making a few cockroaches run.
Would you rather Mueller leaked some things to satiate your concerns, or continue to act in the professional manner he has to date?
By the way, have you read the original mandate of the scope of Mueller's investigation? It's pretty broad. Maybe you should be critical of Rosenstein (another Republican) instead, for giving Mueller such a wide berth. Or maybe allow them both to do the professional jobs they're doing, thankfully.
Do you believe your first paragraph is consistent with your position about the sanctions not being initiated?
I don't know if it is I haven't thought through. That was my gut reaction when I read your first paragraph so I thought it good to challenge your positions
And I don't mean the professional manner as we both know that's not
with respect, you will have to ask your question a different way, because I'm not sure what you're asking me.
BK was complaining about the lack of charges so far on collusion. I was asking if he'd rather Mueller leaked some information to satisfy his frustrations (sarcastically obviously). (By the way, as I have said many times, I doubt such charges will be brought, but I am suspicious there has been some criminal behavior with the Russians by Trump.)
The sanctions were put in place by Congress to punish Russia for its meddling, regardless of whether or not there was any collusion. Trump should implement them and it's outrageous that he hasn't.
Thanks
You and I have agreed for the most part previously on the sanctions and the role of congress
I think I have held out more possibility than you that they have not been implemented yet because of possibilities you and I may not be aware of but the administration is. Even though that is within the purview of the admin to do (even after congress). Your position seems to be they should be implemented and right now irregardless
With mueller I have said I support an investigation and that one continue at this point. But it should have a reason and a timeline. It shouldn't just continue on and on like someone kicking an ant hill looking for cockroaches (or whatever bks analogy is) I have said I don't know what those boundaries are. But I think there should be some and people like me sooner or later will stop supporting this if there is no meat on the bone
You seem more than prepared to let mueller run his course as he sees fit and give him the benefit of the doubt that he knows something we don't
These things seem a bit inconsistent to me
