    Sure, they thought that Mueller was beyond approach. We found out different when almost all the 19 investigators appointed were Democrats and then saw at his testimony Mueller was nothing more than a figurehead. He obviously knew little to nothing of what went on. Trump's lawyer said he only talked to Mueller once during that whole investigation.

    Really? They had a CHOICE?? I don't recall that... We didn't get to vote on it like American Special Prosecutor??

    Democrats (and Independents like me) actually believe there are people who can be unbiased and perform their jobs as assigned... Mueller may have been TECHNICALLY a Republican, but you have to believe somebody can do the job regardless of a letter next to their name.

    I think his bar on collusion was ridiculous (if not legally true), his failure to officially say there was OOJ naive, he didn't follow the money, and he didn't get an interview with the subject (via subpoena), but even with those shortcomings, it was enough to impeach and indict after office, should somebody want to go that way...

    That's a good point, but we didn't know he was a figurehead until the very end. We went along with it thinking, even though he's investigating someone from his own party, he seems impeccable and competent. I don't think the GOP is capable of thinking ANY prominent Democrat is impeccable. Am I right about that?

    No, I think we knew well before his testimony. They complained about Mueller as soon as they saw his appointees. They never dreamed he would hire all, or most all Democrats to do the investigation.

    That's a fair point.

    Donald Trump's Approval Rating Surpasses Obama's, Not Just on Rasmussen Reports

    President Donald Trump's job approval rating this week averaged across major polls surpassed that of his predecessor President Barack Obama at the same time eight years ago, giving some actual good news to Trump who is known to cite only conservative-leaning polls to bolster his image.

    Trump's approval rating on Wednesday was 44.3 percent, according to a Real Clear Politics average of more than a half-dozen major polls. That is higher than Obama's average approval rating of 43.9 percent on September 18, 2011, by the same measure.

    The 45th president's average approval rating surpassed that of his predecessor on Monday and stayed on top for the next two days. Trump's average approval rating on Monday was 44.1 percent compared to Obama's 43.9 percent on September 16, 2011, and 44 percent on Tuesday compared to Obama's 43.8 percent on September 17, 2011.

    Ken Starr’s investigation on Clinton included a bunch of right wing political hacks including Starr himself and young Brett Kavanaugh who made sure that all of the details about Clinton’s affair with Ms. Lewinsky became public. He was probably laughing his ass off at some beer joint with his buddies and Kelleyanne Conway about the blue dress and the cigar as the MSM was blasting it all over the airwaves. That’s why I thought it was great when he was crying like a little beeotch in his Senate Confirmation hearing years later when his youthful weenie wagging exploits became public. What goes around.....lol...Mueller was more than fair with Trump and the pack of scoundrels he chose to surround himself with in comparison...Ask Susan MacDougal how she was treated?

    Cummings and Nadler seem a step slower. Schiff seems like the fast horse.

    Trump is behind every major Democrat in the polls.

    Weak comeback.
    Oust? No. They've been angling all along to stomp Trump in November 2020.
    Propaganda Alert.
    A Trumpite talks about an alternate universe. :roflol:

    Why not? Everyone else at that time was laughing at the many jokes being bandied about.

    Unemployment was still high. Trump is facing a slowing economy when he already has weak polls.

    I guess Donny is after the tapes which could be crucial evidence in order to prove to ignorant ones the collusion between DNC, Hillary's campaign and the Ukrainian government. What a blatant and shameless interference into a sacred American election!

    John Solomon: As Russia Collusion Fades, Ukrainian Plot To Help Clinton Emerges

    https://www.realclearpolitics.com/v...s_ukrainian_plot_to_help_clinton_emerges.html


    "We don't know much about it, because it is floating around Ukraine," Solomon told Hannity Wednesday night. "But we do know the general prosecutor of Ukraine, the equivalent of our Attorney General, came on our show this morning and said the following: There's enough evidence for me to open up a criminal investigation into the illicit effort by a Ukrainian to try to influence the U.S election in favor of Hillary Clinton."

    The "intelligence community" is used to bringing down "foreign" governments, it was only a matter of time before they turned their sights on our own. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. We need a law passed where any government employee convicted of a crime involving their job will be stripped of their entire retirement package. That would make 'em think twice. I'll bet the whistle blower submitted their retirement papers a week before they blew the alleged whistle.
