He should be fired

[tom joad]

God Bless Robert Mueller.

[Coach is Back!]

God Bless Robert Mueller.

Why? Because he's best friends with Comey and a sure witch hunt

[tom joad]

Trump and his associates have done nothing at all illegal or even remotely unethical and so the total and complete vindication that the Donald has already proclaimed surely will be confirmed in spades by the Mueller investigation.

You'd never see a friend or relative working in Trump's administration 

[tom joad]

it's clear as the day is long that "there's no there there" and so how sweet it'll be when the truth sets the Trump team free.

[Dos Equis]

They should have never appointed a special prosecutor, but it would be mistake for Trump to fire Mueller.  He shouldn't create the impression that he's trying to cover something up, when there is zero evidence that he broke the law.  This thing will drag on for a while, but he'll be better served by waiting for the outcome.

Indeed. Even though Mueller's association with Comey could be an issue, removing him now will certainly create the appearance of a cover up. They should let the investigation unfold and hopefully it will be conducted thoroughly and impartially.

I agree.

They asked deputy AG Rosenstein about this and he said he'd the only one with the power to do this.
He then said he no plans to fire Mueller.

One thing you can take to the bank:  after the investigation shows there is no evidence that Trump conspired with the Russian government to get elected president so he could become a Russian puppet, Democrats will still be talking about this loony through conspiracy theory through the 2018 elections.

[polychronopolous]

I almost want to see him do it because the Left would go full on Def Con 1 in response.

And the thing is he still might.

Talk about drawing heat, this guy is like The 1983 Fabulous Freebirds, Georgeous George and Memphis Territory Andy Kaufman all wrapped up into one.

I'm going to refrain from making any Russian investigation thread posts UNTIL
we all know a  lot more information. I think it looks bad for
Flynn, Kushner, etc and who knows about Trump himself.
BUT, I'm waiting for more evidence to come in before I decide.

I'll try to make serious comments on other topics as they come up.

Certainly cannot question his willingness to step outside the box.

"More evidence"?     How about any evidence?  You cannot even articulate this stupid theory or how Russia "hacked our election."

Are you an intelligens officer Dos E?

How can you know for a FACT that there is no connection between Trump and Russia?
If Trump was a liberal you would be all over this story, no?

[Fuzzy Nuts]

quit reading after fox news

[Straw Man]

Trumptard in Chief has only himself to blame

If had never fired Comey he wouldn't be dealing with a special prosecutor.

Yup, I'm doing the prudent thing and reserving final judgement UNTIL
the investigation is done.

I know for a FACT there is zero evidence of Trump conspiring with the Russian government to get elected president so he could become a Russian puppet. 

I actually think this asinine conspiracy theory is worse than that birther crap, because the entire Democrat party has embraced this lunacy.

How do you know this fact? Do you expect us to take you at your word? If it turns out your "facts" are wrong, will you kill yourself?

[Dos Equis]

The same reason I know for fact that there is zero evidence you are currently an NFL QB.

Why would I kill myself over something said on a message board?     

And my facts are just that:  facts.  There is zero evidence supporting this stupid conspiracy theory.

Your analogy is very odd.

Because you seem so impassioned by all this. 

As you or anyone else knows unless they are privy to some inside information....if there is any.

Your contention that I could be wrong about the complete absence of evidence is . . . predictable. 

Impassioned?  lol.  Talk about misusing words. 

I'm not privy to inside information.  What I know is I have seen absolutely nothing supporting this stupid theory.  And what is truly disturbing is some ordinarily smart people are embracing this crap, because they are so partisan.  I spent 2.5 hours over the past couple days watching Jeff Sessions' testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee.  I am embarrassed to have some of those guys serving in the Senate.

And large swaths of the Republican party,too.  

Count me in as another who'd  like to know how you know this for a fact?   Are you basing this on your "talent" for reading minds and predicting the future that you've exhibited in so many previous posts?

FWIW, the conspiracy theory that so many dems and republicans have bought into is more nuanced than that, but what we do know for a fact is that Russia aggressively tampered with the election, Michael Flynn lied about communications with Russia (for curiously unexplained reasons) and is now under criminal investigation and  WaPo is reporting that Trump is now under investigation for obstruction of justice in regards to firing Comey. You should get in touch with some of trump's croneys  and reassure them that there is no evidence, because they are some of the guiltiest acting politicians I've ever seen.
