Democrats take a Mueller Mulligan

[LDAHL]

Hoping the third time will be the charm, the Dems seem intent on getting a reluctant Mueller to reparse his report into something more compliant with their preferred narrative of “we was robbed”. He seems to be hewing to the line of “I meant what I said and I said what I meant”.

There certainly seems to have been some Russian skullduggery on the previous administration’s watch, what with all those leaky servers and trolling. I don’t know if that was a major factor in the outcome or not. Nor can I say if all those Steele dossier inspired wiretaps had any impact.

Is it wrong of me to enjoy the show?

Be my guest to enjoy it.

I think it is all boring and I tune out when hearing “Trump and Russians” and/or “Hilary and .Russians” and “ Mueller” and etc. I just cannot summon interest since it looks like a tennis game, the volleys.

Wait until you see the show coming in the UK as Bojo, as he is called, takes on Iran, Brexit, Europe, Scotland and the UK electorate. Trump will probably contribute his pennyworth as well to this debacle.

I think it’s interesting to see the strategies pros employ to try getting someone to say what they want them to say, or making an argument under the guise of asking a question.

I watched most of the show, it was interesting to watch the attempts to justify the Democrats desire to impeach. I don't think it worked but it was fine entertainment.

Act 2 beginning at 1pm after a short intermission. I've stocked up on popcorn.

The little that I watched.... Mueller indicated that if anyone else did what Trump has done they would have been jailed (or already have been). The part I saw was where Republicans just gave a diatribe instead of asking questions. I found it offensive that there was talk of impropriety of the Investigators/Agents. I was a Special Agent and KNOW what type of scrutiny and background checks are done. I was not with the Justice Department but still had to have extensive security and background checks. Also, had to do an oath of office, as I am sure they did. The Republicans are just looking for any possible justification because they know Trump is in deep.

I'm listening to the audio version of Craig Unger's House of Trump, House of Putin, which outlines decades of mob activities, both American and Russian, that Trump was peripheral to. I'm only about halfway through it, but it's depressing. It seems we have Russian hands around our collective throat. (And, thanks to McConnell, we're not even going to bother to investigate. Of course not; Russia is on his side.)

I'm convinced Trump could commit murder on the White House lawn and then sodomize the corpse and half the country would applaud. What crime, exactly, could justify impeachment for these people? Never mind, rhetorical question.

What crime have you got?

I think the Democrats are gonna have to give up their impeachment dreams, at least with this as a basis. It's turning into a nothing-burger.

I watched the whole thing and must have missed that part.

Me too.

Mueller found one senior investigator's impropriety so heinous he was removed from the investigation. I'll bet he was offended too.

Repeated obstruction of justice, witness tampering, etc.
