    Interesting that the OP justification of paying for the investigation before recouping money is basically the same as the justification for the wall.

    Deepthroat was the Associate Director of the FBI at the time.

    If Americans actually knew who Deepthroat was at the time during Watergate, Nixon would have finished his second term as POTUS on January 20th, 1977.

    If you were around back them, after learning what J. Edgar Hoover was doing for over four decades, American's weren't happy campers with the FBI during those days.

    BTW: There still would be two Vietnams today.

    There is no justification for a 35 billion dollar wall when there has been 0 due diligence, including the method of payment since the original payor (Mexico) has nixed on their agreement. On the other hand, money is most certain to be recouped once the bad guys are exposed. If not, we are talking 40 million dollars which Trump seems so concerned about when he thinks nothing about spending 360 million dollars of taxpayer dollars every weekend for fun and frolicking at Mara Largo.

    Since there is no proposal that includes that I have no clue what you are crying about.

    The proposal is 230 miles of border barrier where the Border Patrol says it is needed.

    It matters naught who the Associate Director of the FBI was. I know about Hoover and he was more of an Autocrat than a director and a bad Dood, as Trump would say. If Americans had known who deep throat was, I don't think it would have mattered at the time.

    True, it was his own fault and he got bad advice and it was the advice that he wanted to hear, not the advice that he needed to hear. He had a persecution complex which also aided in that decision.

    The Acting AG CAN and DID. And how someone of your ilk sees things is immaterial. Its hilarious to watch the desperate spinning of the right wing over the fat, moron, racist, traitor that they let infest the White House at the behest of Putin.

    Soon there will be evidence surfacing that trump and his campaign basically worked with the Russians to subvert the person that decent, intelligent Americans actually choose to be the next President because the right wing can't win elections unless they lie and cheat. Those are their core values.

    It hardly matters anyway...moron trump's problem isn't Mueller right now...its the Democratic Congress who are going to come after him, his kids and his cronies with EVERYTHING they have. And they have a lot of power. Right behind the Congress is the NY AG..who's after trump's kids because they've been committing crimes in that state for years.

    You should be concerned...very very concerned...because you and your ilk will bear the shame of what a disgusting traitor you supported and spend all your energy defending for a very long time to come. This is going to be far worse than Nixon. Nixon was a choirboy compared to trump and his vile kids.

    My view is that the payment is only the down payment. Trump says that he only wants 230 miles and I don't believe him because he is never truthful. He has also not done any due diligence. The original length of the wall was much longer and the Dems offered 28 billion dollars in exchange for Trump honoring the original DACA promise which Trump rejected after he agreed and little Miller killed. The 28 billion won't do the job anyway.
    My view is that Trump should propose the Israeli model, which he lauds and has been proven to be effective and much cheaper.

    Beautiful. My view also, and you are going to get a lot of heat from the Trump base who simply just don't see the guy for what he is--a con-man who has them snookered. They will bring up Obama again and again to compare.

    lol...Their problem is that last time I checked, the FBI never had to investigate Obama for being Putin's gimp (or any other crimes committed by Obama and his kids).

    Yes Obama’s DOJ didn’t care he was colluding with Putin and doing his wishes.

    That is not a good reason. That could have been negotiated, dealt with later, and Trump agreed to it. Miller is a white supremacist and is a fly in the ointment that Trump has to extricate. Miller has too much influence since Trump has unrealized leanings in the same direction.

    I am aware what Miller is and I don't care about his ethnicity, and I am hardly from the desperate left. I do not support Trump and that does not translate into 'Democrat'. I don't think that little Miller recognizes his bigotry.

    First, you're forgetting that Russia is an enemy nation. They attacked us.

    Beyond that, your assumption that nobody cares is nonsense. Dems have already changed primary process.

    It is no and has been for the last decades Republicans who have been the staunches allies of assaulting our democracy.

    They fight civil rights, are by far the largest users of gerrymandering, have gone out of their way to block minorities from votig - to the point where Republican states have been placed under supervision for that

    And, that is STILL the case as seen in the 2018 election.

    Only in part. He was chased for at least tangible reasonable evidence of wrong doing. There is none of that, outside the imaginary minds of the Trump haters, with Trump.

    There's a **** load of evidence against MAGA, much of it right on video and on Twitter for all to see.

    Overthrowing a duly elected president can occur when the rapid mob succeeds in trampling the law. If you are talking of impeachment, impeachment begins -- is supposed to begin -- after a known crime against the people has been vetted. It does not start, constitutionally, with a search under every rock for something untoward.

    I never said otherwise. I simply said it was illegal -- against the law for the jurisprudence challenged..

    Your rationale gets terribly overshadowed by your venom.

    This isn't an unusual outcome, many investigations do bring in a revenue surplus.
