The facts, as RESTATED by Mueller today, show a treasonous scumbag-in-chief in need of removal from office, as a start. Trump reached out to, worked with, and rewarded Russia for the Presidency.
"I can do anything I want!" -- Uh, no, Mr. President you can't. We fought a war over that.

Mueller Clarifies Much-Touted Answer on DOJ Guidelines
“I want to go back to one thing that was said this morning by [Representative Ted] Lieu who said, and I quote, ‘You didn’t charge the President because of the [Office of Legal Counsel] opinion.’ That is not the correct way to say it,” Mueller said. “As we say in the report, and as I said at the opening, we did not reach a determination as to whether the President committed a crime.”
I wonder if someone got to him during his lunch break and reminded him that he had told Bob Barr three times that the OLC regulation was not the reason that he wasn't bringing charges. Barr testified to this under oath and it's on the record, so Mueller needed to get the record corrected or he could plausibly be accused of lying under oath.
“We have heard today that the president ordered former White House counsel Don McGahn to fire you,” Lieu told Mueller. “The president ordered Don McGahn to then cover that up and create a false paper trail. And now we’ve heard the president ordered Cory Lewandowski to tell Jeff Sessions to limit your investigation so that you stop investigating the president. I believe a reasonable person looking at these facts could conclude that all three elements of the crime of obstruction of justice have been met, and I’d like to ask you the reason, again, that you did not indict Donald Trump is because of OLC opinion stating that you cannot indict a sitting president, correct?”

When asked whether Mr. Trump “wasn’t always being truthful” in his written answers to the special counsel’s questions, Mr. Mueller responded, “I would say generally.” He called Mr. Trump’s praise of WikiLeaks during the 2016 campaign “problematic” and said it “gave a boost to what is and should be illegal activity.”
Mr. Mueller was asked about the Trump Tower meeting, WikiLeaks and the decision by Paul Manafort, the former Trump campaign chairman, to share campaign information with a Russian oligarch, and whether these episodes were a new normal for political campaigns. “I hope this is not the new normal,” Mr. Mueller said, “but I fear it is.”

Bryen & Co R more then ever convinced that they have been right all along.

HURD: Is this -- in your investigation, did you think this was a single attempt by the Russians to get involved in our election, or did you find evidence to suggest they’ll try to do this again?
MUELLER: It wasn’t a single attempt. The doing it as we sit here, and they expect to do it during the next campaign.
GOP blocks election security bills after Mueller testimony
Senate Republicans blocked two election security bills and a cybersecurity measure on Wednesday in the wake of former special counsel Robert Mueller warning about meddling attempts during his public testimony before congressional lawmakers.
Democrats tried to get consent to pass two bills that would require campaigns to alert the FBI and Federal Election Commission about foreign offers of assistance, as well as a bill to let the Senate Sergeant at Arms offer voluntary cyber assistance for personal devices and accounts of senators and staff.
But Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.) blocked each of the bills. She didn't give reason for her objections, or say if she was objecting on behalf of herself or the Senate GOP caucus. A spokesman didn't immediately respond to a request for comment
Trump appears in front of altered presidential seal saying '45 is a puppet'
Upon closer examination, the seal on Trump's right includes a double-headed eagle, unlike the single head of the traditional presidential seal, and seems to resemble the Russian coat of arms. The seal has a complex history, notes the Victoria and Albert Museum, but one of the more common interpretations is that the two heads represent east and west, "an allegory sometimes for unity, and sometimes for absolute monarchy." It could be a reference to Trump's sometimes-controversial relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The eagle also appears to be holding several golf clubs instead of arrows in its claws, perhaps a reference to Trump's affinity for golf.
Additionally, instead of "e pluribus unum," the scroll above the eagle appears to say "45 es un titere," which appears to translate from Spanish to mean "45 is a puppet."
It is not clear where the image originated, though, or who was responsible for the mixup.
Kimmel insisted that House Republicans "care more about their side winning than they care about this country." He then compared the lawmakers grilling of Mueller to a sexual act.

"Those guys don't care about the United States," Kimmel continued. "It really was something watching them defend this president. Normally, when people fall on their knees for Trump like that, he pays them $130,000 in hush money."

WASHINGTON — More than three million people would lose their food stamps under a new rule proposed Tuesday by the Agriculture Department to change the program’s eligibility requirements.
At this point, I could give a rats ass about what anyone who supports Trump has to say. They're going to do what they're going to do no matter what; regardless of whether or not truth and reason are involved.
The real question is whether to move forward with an impeachment inquiry? IMO, not beginning an inquiry is simply NOT an option if we are to hold on to any semblance of a healthy Republic. If you're on the fence, the following is an excellent read on the subject:
Sadly Bryen and Thom's side is winning. The dems failed to excoriate Bill Barr's outright lies about the Mueller report, and have never gained momentum since. Pelosi and Nadler are weak ad are the rest of them. Impeachment is dead and there is a real chance that the madmen will win a second term. Pathetic.
should I even bother calling my shitty ass congressman at this point demanding action, or is it all a lost cause and I should just purchase an ugly red hat, an easily attainable fire arm, and start discriminating against those less fortunate than me in order to usher in Thom and hillman’s brave new (old?) America?
I’m kind of on the fence about impeachment as it’s a slippery slope that may end up with negative consequences
Yes he is a criminal and very reckless and should be impeached but I think it’s more important to not have him reelected
I’m not sure cozying up to big business and his favorite dictators in the world (which is what he wants to be when he “ grows up” ) Would even push me to 100% commitment to impeachment
I’m pretty sure a big war for the wrong reasons would however!!
If he's not impeached he'll be re elected. Do you think that if impeachment fails they'll be more people that jump on the Trump train? Sorry to break the news but the clown cars are already full. I was on the top of the mountain proclaiming that our country would never elect Trump. We all have been slapped with a dose of reality. If you're still in the 'lesser of 2 evils camp' than you are still missing the boat. We need to come to grips with who a politician is and then we can understand that some are evil BUT they are all self serving.
Unfortunately the people who actually decide presidential elections are those people who voted for Obama and Trump who live in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Florida, Wisconsin, Arizona, Minnesota, and Nevada. The rest of us don’t really get a say.
Those people will absolutely be influenced by the Senate voting to not impeach which is a guaranteed outcome. They don’t follow politics, they actively complain about anyone who wants to talk about it, and all they will take from all this is that they had to hear about Russia for four years and that in the end there was nothing to it.

Druba, I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and suppose for a moment that you don't realize this was an orchestrated effort by the former administration & elements within our intelligence community to systematically unseat a duly elected president. If that is indeed the case, you may yet fully comprehend the significance of Jim Jordan's 5 minutes with Robert Mueller on Wednesday...please review this at your convenience and let me know your thoughts, thank you.
There definitely was a Russian attempt to keep Hillary out, that's well documented, as is the likelihood of Trump getting indicted once he's out of office, for not only obstruction, but campaign finance violations (you know, things not handled by the Mueller report, but a part of 17 other investigations at the state level). As to the notion that Obama and crew somehow orchestrated a coup once he was out of office, that's hilarious. Now, while he was in office, there's that part where 5 different friendly intelligence agencies (including the Israelis) contacted that administration to let them know of nefarious contacts and meetings going on between the Trump team and Russia, including requests for wikileaks data, polling data, etc. Mueller wasn't allowed to look into a lot of the finances that benefited Trump, those are separate investigations that should be quite interesting once complete.
I've never seen any evidence for a coup, including your little gotcha moment on tape (LOL). Just more self serving ideology to repaint fiction as facts, and call facts fake news. We see your boys do it all the time with a long list of issues... anti education, anti science, anti climate change, anti woman, anti immigrant, anti gay, anti black, anti Muslim, anti Jew, anti Puerto Rico, and several other of the racist and dehumanizing scripts "you people" like to run with.
Druba, would you care to expand your remarks in regards to Joseph Mifsud specifically? I take it you're stating that as of July 26th, 2019 you don't consider him to be of any relevance, is that correct? Thank you.
<<would you care to expand your remarks in regards to Joseph Mifsud specifically?>>
I found it interesting that he changed his name and went into hiding once the investigation started... I assume you want me say something about the alleged link to dirt on Hillary, this may shock you, but I've always said; "scrutinize both sides, equally, often, and for the same reasons"
Bryen, what's your opinion on the dozens of Russian journalists, and others (who are even loosely associated with Trump), being murdered (or the murder of journalists done by the SAWdis)
Seems like folks that disagree with your narrative are dying at a much higher rate than those (mostly proven wrong) conspiracies about the Clinton related deaths
I'm curious as to your thoughts in regards to him setting up Papadopoulos, which of course was the predicate for the entire scam.
Mueller and his fellow conspirators claimed he was a Russian asset when in fact he was western intelligence...I know, it's shocking, just when you thought you could trust your government.
Bluestnote, I can't help but notice in the last hundred threads or so you seemingly throw around insults rather than discussing the subject matter...is that a generally accurate take on things, or am I mistaken? I celebrate your tenacity, I'm sure you have many redeemable qualities. Enjoy the day!
Question: Why purposefully deceive the country this was a report that Robert Mueller had anything to do with when it was obviously an Andrew Weissmann report?
It's clear Mueller didn't write this report: Alan Dershowitz
^ exactly my point, thank you...I realize these are frustrating days to be on the wrong side of the biggest scam in the 243 years of the republic...hang in there, the truth will set you free!

HURD: Is this -- in your investigation, did you think this was a single attempt by the Russians to get involved in our election, or did you find evidence to suggest they’ll try to do this again?
MUELLER: It wasn’t a single attempt. The doing it as we sit here, and they expect to do it during the next campaign.

GOP blocks election security bills after Mueller testimony
Senate Republicans blocked two election security bills and a cybersecurity measure on Wednesday in the wake of former special counsel Robert Mueller warning about meddling attempts during his public testimony before congressional lawmakers.
Democrats tried to get consent to pass two bills that would require campaigns to alert the FBI and Federal Election Commission about foreign offers of assistance, as well as a bill to let the Senate Sergeant at Arms offer voluntary cyber assistance for personal devices and accounts of senators and staff.
But Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.) blocked each of the bills. She didn't give reason for her objections, or say if she was objecting on behalf of herself or the Senate GOP caucus. A spokesman didn't immediately respond to a request for comment

Trump appears in front of altered presidential seal saying '45 is a puppet'
Upon closer examination, the seal on Trump's right includes a double-headed eagle, unlike the single head of the traditional presidential seal, and seems to resemble the Russian coat of arms. The seal has a complex history, notes the Victoria and Albert Museum, but one of the more common interpretations is that the two heads represent east and west, "an allegory sometimes for unity, and sometimes for absolute monarchy." It could be a reference to Trump's sometimes-controversial relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The eagle also appears to be holding several golf clubs instead of arrows in its claws, perhaps a reference to Trump's affinity for golf.
Additionally, instead of "e pluribus unum," the scroll above the eagle appears to say "45 es un titere," which appears to translate from Spanish to mean "45 is a puppet."
It is not clear where the image originated, though, or who was responsible for the mixup.

The real question is whether to move forward with an impeachment inquiry? IMO, not beginning an inquiry is simply NOT an option if we are to hold on to any semblance of a healthy Republic. If you're on the fence, the following is an excellent read on the subject:

If you're still in the 'lesser of 2 evils camp' than you are still missing the boat. We need to come to grips with who a politician is and then we can understand that some are evil BUT they are all self serving.

Unfortunately the people who actually decide presidential elections are those people who voted for Obama and Trump who live in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Florida, Wisconsin, Arizona, Minnesota, and Nevada. The rest of us don’t really get a say.
Those people will absolutely be influenced by the Senate voting to not impeach which is a guaranteed outcome. They don’t follow politics, they actively complain about anyone who wants to talk about it, and all they will take from all this is that they had to hear about Russia for four years and that in the end there was nothing to it.

There definitely was a
There definitely was a Russian attempt to keep Hillary out, that's well documented, as is the likelihood of Trump getting indicted once he's out of office, for not only obstruction, but campaign finance violations (you know, things not handled by the Mueller report, but a part of 17 other investigations at the state level). As to the notion that Obama and crew somehow orchestrated a coup once he was out of office, that's hilarious. Now, while he was in office, there's that part where 5 different friendly intelligence agencies (including the Israelis) contacted that administration to let them know of nefarious contacts and meetings going on between the Trump team and Russia, including requests for wikileaks data, polling data, etc. Mueller wasn't allowed to look into a lot of the finances that benefited Trump, those are separate investigations that should be quite interesting once complete.
I've never seen any evidence for a coup, including your little gotcha moment on tape (LOL). Just more self serving ideology to repaint fiction as facts, and call facts fake news. We see your boys do it all the time with a long list of issues... anti education, anti science, anti climate change, anti woman, anti immigrant, anti gay, anti black, anti Muslim, anti Jew, anti Puerto Rico, and several other of the racist and dehumanizing scripts "you people" like to run with.
