    It looks like President Donald Trump’s critics might not get the earth-shattering, presidency-destroying, nail-in-the-coffin FBI report confirming Russian collusion they were hoping for.

    FBI special counsel Robert Mueller’s final report is apparently coming — after the midterm elections, of course. Several key findings, including whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election and whether the president obstructed justice, are expected to be released after ballots are cast. Media outlets hoping for a Watergate-style takedown of an American president they despise may not get what they want.

    Politico reports that “defense lawyers working on the Russia probe and more than 15 former government officials with investigation experience spanning Watergate to the 2016 election case” tell them the report might not answer all the critics’ prayers.

    “The public, they say, shouldn’t expect a comprehensive and presidency-wrecking account of Kremlin meddling and alleged obstruction of justice by Trump — not to mention an explanation of the myriad subplots that have bedeviled lawmakers, journalists and amateur Mueller sleuths,” Politico wrote. “Perhaps most unsatisfying: Mueller’s findings may never even see the light of day.”

    Politico suggested Trump’s critics “may be in for a disappointment” when the report is finally finished.....snip~

    Whomp there it is. Politico getting out the word to the leftness. Starting it all off. Trump critics will be disappointed. Plus once the Demos lose the Election and don't win the House. Full tilt will be in order with the Leftness. What say ye?

    It's looking as if the already insane with rage Left inside this nation is going to have even more reasons to be ANGRY and -- of course -- increasingly violent. Got popcorn?

    I believe the liberal news outlet Politico offered the following, according to the article;

    "Politico reports that “defense lawyers working on the Russia probe and more than 15 former government officials with investigation experience spanning Watergate to the 2016 election case” tell them the report might not answer all the critics’ prayers."
    As such, it would appear you are the one who has Nuthin'...…

    Oh dear....

    They are going to hit full tilt once they see they lost the House. Knowing Trump is going to Steamroll them these next 2 years.

    Plus Trump already has quite a bit of money for 2020. The only one that has a chance to outspend Trump will be Bloomberg.

    LOL, Trump couldn't have planned it better himself.

    The 2018 election will be historic even if dems manage to hang on, because this election should have been easy to win for dems, 1st mid-term after an election loss is when the losing party reevaluates why they lost the last election. That never happened with dems losing SINCE 2010.

    Here's what they are going to do. They are going to claim victory based on the occurrence of the word "collusion" in whatever is released, if anything. They will blur out all the surrounding text to make it unreadable and highlight the word "collusion" over and over throughout the document... even though the word will most often occur preceded by "no evidence of..."

    Then they will turn on Mueller and call him a GOP operative, will claim that this was all a setup from the start, or that "muhrussia" threatened Mueller and his family.

    Finally, they will claim that the fact the investigation took so long proves there must be something there. Then after a couple days of that, they will pull a "look a squirrel!" and the matter will be retired from the LW Complex MSM public union spaghetti strand factory until the 2020 elections, where it will be revived as "what other POTUS in U.S. history has been -investigated- for colluding with a hostile foreign power!?"

    Here's the link to the actual report.

    Doesn't say much beyond staing that the White House will try to prevent the report from being made public.

    And I'm not putting too much stock in what DEFENSE lawyers (Ghouliani) say

    Then they will hope the SDNY can take Trump down. If the SDNY can get thru being investigated by the FBI.

    Exactly right. The media and the left based most of the "collusion" and "obstruction" conspiracy theory on "speculation" based on anon leaks and got "nuthin". Glad I can help clear that up.

    They are not going to accept that Trump was duly elected. Dark days are ahead.

    An alternate take: The Fake News knows that the Seinfeld investigation is coming to a close and realize that it's propaganda value is played out.

    Now, they are searching for a new narrative.

    I doubt that they will choose the one that has been glaringly obvious.

    Maybe they'll pick the whitewash narrative. Or that the investigation was incomplete. Or, that it was obstructed.

    You raise the salient point. The party out of party always reassesses and then alters its evil and wicked ways enough to handily win at least part of the mid term territory of the Legislative Branch. But it's increasingly looking like the leftists aren't going to be doing all that great and mostly because they doubled down on rage and on -- well -- on nation-hating; the very reasons that they lost all that political power in the first place.

    ^ Thread win.

    The Nothing Burger must be spun into something; maybe a virgin ketchup & mustard cocktail on ice with sugar, salt, pepper and Sweet & Low - hold the straw.

    Yeah; at this point only the most deluded diehard believes there's anything there.

    The most ridiculous witch hunt I've ever seen, and a total distraction from what really makes Trump dangerous.

    It's really simple...

    If they had something they would release it before the midterms.

    If they don't then they will release it after the mid terms.

    Looks like they got nothing.

    Rod "the wire" Rosenstein tells the tale, just not under oath.:;): Rosenstein knows ALL there is to know. Rod knew exactly what "evidence" the FBI had collected and fabricated the year before Comey's firing. And during his now infamous meeting with Mueller. Rod offered to wear a wire, and oust Trump via #25 ... Rosenstein knows. Mueller knows. Americans know too. No Russian collusion, no obstruction, no FEC violations, sexual abuse, tax evasion ... nothing.

    we do not know why Trump is obstructing, my guess is it is money laundering, but we will see

    but the fact is, the Trump tower meeting with Russia happened, Trump lied about it and got caught

    Trump fired Comey and admitted it was about Russia on live TV

    Republicans are trying to play down the report....

    Seems like republicans are way more eager to have that report. Trump, as in DJT sr. lied about Trump tower? Evidence please. Trump has only just received Bogus Bob's "Russian questionnaire". Comey, since his firing, he's been vindicated? Lauded for the Russia investigation? Made sure as Brarry O insisted, it was "by the book"? Trump perceived Comey's nefarious nature, and anticipated Jimmy "weasel move" Comey's disloyalty to his oath, and constitution. Rosenstein suggested wearing a wire to portray the POTUS unstable. I think the POTUS had legitimate concerns about loyalty. Dems have ears in Mueller's camp, and you indict not impeach $$$ launderers.
