    It does not surprise me that Mueller indicted a ham sandwich. It does not surprise me that the ham sandwich hired attorneys.

    It does not surprise me that DOJ is as corrupt and dishonest as any other federal agency, maybe more so.

    It does not surprise me that DOJ could not comply with the discovery process. Mueller & Co were bluffing all the way.

    Nor does it surprise me that large parts of the American people believe falsehoods.

    The stealing of data from the DNC was "social media" buys ?

    Neither you nor the government can prove the DNC material was hacked at all.

    Bill Binney and other whistleblowers in the business have showed it was leaked, not hacked.

    Julian Assange said he received the material from a private individual, not a state player like Russia.

    Seth Rich was killed for leaking it, but you won't believe that until Hillary tells you. :cheerleader:

    OH FFS.

    The Trump administration refuses to give the DOJ the data to prosecute, well there you go. It must be that they have no evidence then right ? You know that the Federal Government prosecutes classified cases all the time right?

    Again, just stunning to watch the minions fall in line

    If Hillary was elected, and she dropped the charges against her and anyone else involved in the email scandal, the right would be in the streets with torches and pitchforks.

    When a democrat wins office next time, the Repubs will have no credibility when it comes to holding them accountable for what they do when they have office. I hope the reality star is worth it.

    Biden could back his personal Brinks truck up to the Mint in Philly and I will be laughing all the way...

    Or maybe he'll use the Marines to evict Trump from Mar-A-Lago?? Just because nobody can stop him..

    Nice...

    Of course, the problem with that is that D's only pick your pocket.... R's steal the big stuff

    I myself, am looking forward to the next Dem POTUS to declare a National Emergency for gun violence and/or healthcare simply to come to these forums and watch the cons squirm. LOL

    Have you missed the fact that this outcome was predicted from the getgo. These indictments were merely desperation on the part of the Mueller team to come up with something ANYTHING to justify themselves. There was never a chance this would ever see a courtroom or that those indicted would ever show up.

    They always have tried. What part of their meddling affected the outcome of the election?

    What is the Trump admin refusing to turn over?

    The Obama admin did refuse to prosecute the crimes associated with Clinton....never saw in pitchforks

    Why not? The Trump admin has been held accountable...heck you all even went down a hoax impeachment. I agree you won't see the GOP in Congress abusing their offices in that way

    You are misusing the term "coup." Please learn what it means. And this case had nothing to do with removing Trump from office in any way. You only ones promoting corruption are the Trump defenders.

    No I am no, it is you who needs to learn what it means if you think I’m misusing it. This started due to Trump hate and is falling apart

    A "coup", by standard definition, generally involves violence.

    I would call the this more of a matter of sabotage.

    In one exchange, Page asked: “[Trump’s] not ever going to become president, right? Right?!” Strzok replied: “No. No he’s not. We’ll stop it.”

    The Mueller investigation was a setup by the seditious coup plotters. Everything is now falling apart as the truth comes out.

    It’s called a soft coup. Denotes no violence.

    Which Obama official testified, under oath, in the documents we now have that anyone was involved in a conspiracy with Russians?

    No they haven’t. And I have no idea what impact it had, it’s unmeasurable. Seems to have turned republicans into defenders of foreign espionage, that part worked well.

    Yes, can we honestly admit that the Mueller Team was caught with their pants down when one of the Russian entities actually showed up in court..??
    And then the Mueller Team argued that the firm was not served properly so that the team could actually fabricate a case as they had no evidence to present.

    And can we admit that within the information released last week, there is testimony from the Crowdstrike president admitting that there was never any evidence that the Russians hacked the DNC server?
    Can we admit that Schiff didn't want that to be known?

    And can we be honest and admit that the spying on George Papadopoulis started when he was working for the Ben Carson campaign because there was worry that he would expose the Koch-Glitsch Italia deal that Obama set up with Putin ?

    I could go on and on......... but I hate threads that are as long as novels.

    It had everything to do with highly law enforcement officials first attempting to use there power to determine the outcome of an election and then force out a duly elected President. And you're OK with that so surely you won't complain if the Trump.administration does the same will you?

    IMO, the swamp knew when Trump was elected they were sunk. Everything done with Russia was to distract from their crimes, and provide a charge to solicit public support to have Trump impeached. It was the goal from election night. Hell Democrats were screaming impeach 45 the following day. Even with the support of the media’s biased news (90+% negative toward Trump) and a large segment of society accepting this media’s word at face value, they nearly pulled it off.

    Only if I lie to myself.
    Dropping charges against Russian companies, whose people will never stand trial, is a simple recognition of the inanity of bringing the charges to begin with.

    You say this like the Democrats have some credibility in this regard.
