Oh.

My.

God.

It may not be the pee pee tapes...but I kinda hope it's the pee pee tapes. Let's hope Cohen has the goods on that either way.

Isn't there a Fox News or Daily Stormer forum you guys can go and enjoy yourselves?

No thanks. I find the desperation and denial here to be quite scintillating.

I hope this is a question during Mueller's testimony.

And I find your hero worship rather boring perhaps you can be more entertaining by doing some deflecting.

Press Sec Sarah Sanders just straight up tells the Special Counsel that she lied from the Press Sec podium:

[kaelleria]

" We received the President's written responses in late Nov 2018. In Dec 2018 we informed counsel of the insufficiency of those responses in several respects. We noted, among other things, that the President stated more than 30 occasions that he 'does not recall' or 'remember' or have an 'independent recollection' of information called for by the questions. Other answers were incomplete or imprecise. The written responses, we informed counsel, 'demonstrate the inadequacy of the written format, as we have had no opportunity to ask follow up questions that would ensure complete answers and potentially refresh your client's recollection or clarify the extent or nature of his lack of recollection. We again requested an in-person interview, limited to certain topics, advising the President's counsel that 'this is the President's opportunity to voluntarily provide us with information for us to evaluate in the context of all of the evidence we have gathered. The President declined."

I can't believe President Watersports is confirmed.

Christ and Allah.

Trump's "Russia if you're listening" line directed the GRU to start trying to hack the Clinton's email server.

[Fahrenheit]

"We concluded that Congress has authority to prohibit a President's corrupt use of his authority in order to protect the integrity of the administration of justice."

"The conclusion that Congress may apply the obstruction laws to the President's corrupt exercise of the powers of office accords with our constitutional system of checks and balances and the principle that no person is above the law."

“If we had confidence after a thorough investigation of the facts that the president clearly did not commit obstruction of Justice we would so state.” Which they obviously neglected to do.

So, this is Mueller punting to Congress, basically saying he's corrupt and the evidence backs it up.

Trump's "Russia if you're listening" line directed the GRU to start trying to hack the Clinton's email server.

"It is unclear how the GRU was able to identify these email accounts, which were not public."

Hmm....more loose ends.

Sarah Sanders admitted to Mueller that her statements to the media about the FBI weren't based in fact https://t.co/ejoCRRQ7YH https://t.co/1GHoCVsv8D

So under oath or testimony, Sanders admits to lying and being a propagandist.

Yeah, I'm seeing a lot of language in the report that seems to indicate that Mueller knows his hands are tied, doesn't trust the DoJ, and is putting it on Congress to take action based off the report.

Congress just called for Mueller to testify on his findings, which means impeachment hearings will start soon. There's no way that what Trump did, especially the obstruction of justice part, isn't an impeachable offense.

I mean we all already knew this. And those who didn't know this simply don't care, or think that she's doing a fantastic job by lying to libs.

Sadly I don't think impeachment will happen because of the Senate Republicans.

The Special Counsel found evidence of crimes outside its scope and made 14 criminal referrals to other jurisdictions. Only 2 of them are known to date. https://t.co/PC77N5sPaL

So the investigation is ongoing and many counts of criminal activity outside of Mueller. Likely the blatant corruption, tax evading, money laundering, etc.

a conclusion by the Special Counsel that a total of zero Americans worked with Russians to undermine the 2016 election is objectively good news.

Yes.

However, the problem is, we still know they tried. They admitted it. And that's still bad news, because if they tried something wrong (illegal), and got caught, and nothing happens, they'll just do it again, only worse, because why wouldn't they?

Basically, someone picked up a crowbar and took a swing at Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers. You're saying it's a good thing he missed. I'm saying it's a bad thing he tried. We can agree on both, I think, but disagree on which is more important.

Cant get any more clear then that. Special council cant do anything but recommend. It has recommended congress use its power.

Not that she needed to. Everyone knew she's been lying up and down since her first podium visit. She's a joke. But at least she's not stupid enough to go to jail for it -- just repeatedly objectively knowingly lie to the American people.
