    Great return on investment, and clearly not "13 angry Democrats" hard at work here. I think that was terrifically reaffirmed last night.

    If there's any possibility (and there's plenty of circumstantial evidence) that the moron infesting the White House is a Russian agent, there is no amount of money that American taxpayers shouldn't pay to figure that out.

    Already the investigation has found multiple criminals in or associated with the trump administration that committed multiple crimes..including dealings with Russia and election hacking/fraud.

    I wouldn't care how much this costs...but that Mueller is seizing assets covering his costs is just icing on the cake.

    Congress is going to be spending a lot more money having open public investigations soon...after what the right wing nutbag Congress wasted on bengazi and email crap, it will be a much better investment.

    So you just make things up as a caveat to justify your positions.

    “And any matters that may arise”............ I’ll just leave that their for you....

    You want to see an actual attack on our democratic form of gov't? Look at the DP and DNC, with MSM collusion in the democratic primaries of 16. That this has never concerned any democrats but sanders supporters is very telling of your establishment, banana republic hillary democrats.

    So true, and how many of those who have been indicted and convicted were initially defended by the Moscow asset? Oh, that's right - all of them :lol: He sure flip-flopped hard on Cohen once he started coming clean, and has now even threatened a family member in public. He is *so* desperate at this point.

    This is one of those very silly attacks the Russians have been trying to use in their efforts to destroy our faith in our government. Their social media efforts focused in part on dividing the Democratic Party along the Bernie Sanders fault line, just as they hammer at the real news media.

    Nothing happened within the DNC that was contrary to our form of government, nothing in violation of the Constitution or any other laws, which don't really concern themselves with how political parties organize themselves internally. The DNC and GOP both enjoy a lot of legal freedom and autonomy in that respect.

    Why did you even try to throw "MSM collusion" in there? What did the media report about it that you find objectionable? I can only guess you don't like that they don't share your fantasies of DNC corruption and made-up crimes.

    Trump spends a whopping 360 million dollars to fly to Mara Largo every weekend, and he is worried about a paltry 40 million dollars?
    What is wrong with this equation? Especially when he said that he would be in the Whitehouse on weekends "working for the people"
    and not playing golf as Obama did.

    Trump ran for office for the publicity which the MSM disgustingly gave him so much of and when he shocked even himself by managing to successfully, with the help of the Russkies and the cronies, to manipulate the election, he only remained to steal and use the office to further enrich himself. Why would anyone ever take anything he says seriously?

    Manipulated me? Naw. Just those who want to be manipulated by him. Those who mindlessly parrot "Make America Great Again" as though it actually meant something.

    I'll do it once more, for the drill. The Deputy AG cannot appoint a Special Counsel except for specific matters that the AG has recused himself from. The Deputy AG cannot assign a Special Counsel to investigate any matters beyond the specific scope of the original investigation.. Nothing in Mueller's appointment letter says otherwise. As an aside, Rosenstein's letter is legally faulty from the start as it does not specify a crime to be investigated as required by law. "(i) any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump;" does not specify any crime. However it does limit the scope of the investigation.

    I am not panicky over this in the least. I just calls 'em as I reads 'em. You are free to read the law any way that suits your fancy -- rightly, wrongly, or indifferently. I have done all I can do.

    I am heavily concerned, but not yet panicky, over the large picture of the attempted overthrow of a duly elected president and the consequential trashing of the republic's Constitution.

    True, I can't very well stop you and the others from projecting.

    One, that is a partial quote. Two that quote is legally faulty. You seem to be confusing Rosenstein's appointment letter with the law -- not the same.

    I do not appreciate the Alinsky tactic: accuse the opponents of what you are guilty of. In your case just making interpretations up to justify your position.

    Nixon was taken down by the Associate Director of the FBI, Mark Felt (aka Deepthroat) who was butt hurt because President Nixon didn't appoint him as J. Edgar Hoover's replacement as the Director of the FBI.

    Lessons learned and forgotten...
    Don't hurt the feelings of the leadership of the FBI.

    Overthrowing a duly elected president can occur when he/she does something dirty, illegal, and unconstitutional when he/she has sworn to uphold the constitution and the law. I am also concerned that this 'duly elected president' may have done something outside the law and something that is unconstitutional that justifies his dismissal. Don't know for certain, but I want the investigative process to continue to its conclusion.

    Nixon was taken down by his own lies and illegal acts. The FBI had nothing to do with his dismissal.
