No matter how hard you try, you can’t make me think you are actually this stupid. I know you can read. Can you make a determination as to whether or not a crime was committed? If Meuller can’t, certainly there is no way you can. But you can, can’t you. So mueller must have been able to as well, right? He chose not to. This is ultimately a failure of democracy.

And he said they never could charge the president with a crime due to DOJ policy and it would be unfair to accuse the president of a crime without the opportunity for a trial. So he collected all the evidence, pointed to a pretty obvious conclusion and said that he was leaving it in the hands of the Constitution aka Congressional impeachment. But people are going to try to spin and muddy the waters for Trump 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You forgot to mention he backed up each of those 10 instances with substantial evidence. Enough that 900 former Federal prosecutors - both Democrat and Republican, who read the report signed an open letter saying, yeah, we would have charged this guy with obstruction of justice if he wasn't President. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not say “here ya go, we’re not making a conclusion as to whether or not he is guilty”. I can’t see how anyone could be satisfied with the job Mueller did.

Larry Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 (edited) In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate, equally important groups. The police, who investigate crimes.

Nadler obviously does 1 hour ago, twa said: Mueller just told you he gave you all he had....if you don't believe him feel free to pursue him. Congress can request whatever it desires, though opening impeachment hearings would be the best way IF they see something worth pursuing.(the courts give more weight in that case). The Dem leadership lacks the courage of it's stated convictions otherwise. 1 hour ago, twa said: What is Nancy playing? The house can impeach. then it is up to the senate to decide whether to convict. Senate republicans have clearly signalled themselves to be Republicans above being Americans in this matter, and have signalled that they will not convict under any circumstances. That is where we are. and as long as the assholes out there will continue to either BE stupid, or PLAY stupid (in a clearly treasonous manner) ...it is where we are. Just be honest for once, and say: "The country is ****ed because Republicans will never convict... hahahaha, losers" and quit your stupid transparent dance. you either think everybody else here is a booger-eating-moron... or.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Just now, skinsfan_1215 said: “Might” They spent the last two years accurately claiming that the Trump campaign worked with the Russian intelligence services. ("Collusion" is the false narrative that the Trump campaign created to try to shield themselves from what they knew they were guilty of.) (The FBI's investigation of the matter started because a member of said campaign openly boasted that they were doing this, to someone who turned out to be a spy for a US-allied government, who reported it to the FBI.) No, the DOJ did not conclude no collusion, no obstruction. The person Trump picked based on his previous experience running the Watergate coverup claimed that they did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
