    You mean the guy who got sentenced to 30 days in prison? Did you know only misdemeanors have sentences of less than a year? In New York, shoplifting less than $200 could entail a sentence of up to 6 months. So what was this lawyer sentenced for?

    Call the conviction of that Dutch lawyer absurd as much as you like. The guy admitted.. so that's that.

    You're buying into the conspiracy that the FBI and Justice Department are all after Trump - so here's a mirror for that glass house of yours.

    It's about that he admitted that there were talks between Russian intelligence and the Trump campaign. And them 30 days is because of the plea bargain... so I guess he's going to talk a lot.

    If the Dutch lawyer's admission were evidence of a significant crime I'd expect his sentence to be more than thirty days.

    He admitted not being truthful about something that is not a crime. The old perjury trap again. That's indeed absurd.

    There is plenty of evidence that there are many in those departments who have done just that and been either fired or demoted. The "insurance policy" is indeed a conspiracy.

    He apparently lied about something that was not a crime. Good job by our federal law enforcement authorities. What a joke.

    I'd give Mueller an "A" for effort, and move on.

    Mueller has become a liability to the Democratic Party... His probe has been exposed as being simply too partisan for a significant number of voters to see it other than a political hit job.

    And if the Huber investigation starts to indict people after the DOJ IG report comes out, it will turn the Mid-terms into a Republican wave.

    It's still the link between the Russian intelligence and the Trump campaign that counts.

    The Trump campaign team is linked to the Russian intelligence agency. That is not comparable with a US president having a meeting. So go cry your eyes out already.

    Too funny. Obama was overheard on the telephone promising concessions after the election.

    you're just distracting away from the topic.... with a president who is not being investigated.

    You claimed there is a crime and then claim there is not a crime. So then what is the point ?? There isn't one.

    The collusion is the crime that we're going at. And that Dutch lawyer gives a direct link to the Trump campaign with the Russians. I dunno how you fail to see the big black smoke from this one.

    Even if true collusion is not a crime.
