Having faith in James Comey's integrity proved to be a serious mistake, as his slimy, public, anti-Clinton political subterfuge subverted the 2016 presidential election.

Everyone should keep a very close eye on Mueller's work as special counsel, because his sterling reputation is what makes the country vulnerable to another Comey-like situation.

Dude, Gyakuten Saibou has a HIGHER evidentiary standard than the Trump administration.

Criminal asshats like Kavanaugh are shamed and convicted in that universe.

Mueller's next move is...justice.

Slow, methodical, mathematical, incorruptible.

It appears Evan got right on the scoop.

You got that right FDF! The only thing we know for sure is that NOBODY knows a Goddamn thing about what Mueller's next move will be. However, none of it will be good for anyone who was part of the Trump Campaign crew.

Mueller is a Seawolf-class submarine. It can stay out of sight for long periods of time, and you only know where it is when it attacks.

That does sound weird. My condolences, dude.

We have stuff on video and on tape and he comes up with excuses. The written answers will have his lawyer's fingerprints all over them, so theres no "I misunderstood". "Well you should've had better counsel"

3 Days ago on the Wonkette article Trump And Rod Rosenstein Kissed And Made Up On The Tarmac, ALL BETTER NOW I non-commented:

"I believe that Mueller is, at this stage of his career, not one of Drumpf's lackeys. My evidence is that pretty much all of the former FBI and IC people and federal prosecutors on MSNBC like Malcolm Nance, Joyce Vance, Barbara McQuade, Jill Wine Banks, Clint Watts, and many others have nothing but praise for Mueller. None of them, to my knowledge, have ever said one bad thing about him, but rather show great respect and deference to him as a prosecutor. Oh, and Mueller is stacking up guilty pleas, convictions, and indictments like cordwood and currently has Manfort locked up and watching everything he owns being taken away. Also too the fact that Drumpf clearly wants to fire Mueller, and would sack Rosenstein & Sessions to do it, but everybody from McGann & McTurtle on down keep telling him it would be the end of his presidency if he does. So, those are a few reasons that give me hope that Mueller might be the one to rid us of the Orange Menace."

I would only add to this that the Mueller probe does not leak, therefore whatever information is publicly available is second-hand at best, and pure conjecture at worst.

The only thing I can tell you about Mueller is that he is using Trump’s narcissism against him. His need to have final say on anything is a crutch that Mueller just used to get his angle and documentation of it. This is a Tyson vs Erkel boxing match, except Mueller is the Mega Gamma Ray Tyson from the universe where little people are 12 foot tall, and Trump and Co. are the Erkel from the universe where Earth has the gravity of our moon. At least in terms of intellect.

I don't know what you think you're talking about. WE DON'T HAVE THE POWER at this moment to "throw this government out of power." We are literally constrained by the fact that we are a minority and short of taking to the streets (which we have done, repeatedly), there is no mechanism for removing them--other than working our asses off to get out the vote, to protect voting rights, to undo voter purges, to expose and fight the cyberwar that has taken place and continues to take place, to get trolls suspended from Twitter, to fight #dezinformateya and Kompromat wherever it occurs, to send money and do everything we can to support Democratic candidates.

What do you think we all have been doing? WE HAVE ALL BEEN DOING THIS SINCE NOVEMBER 2016. Perhaps you haven't, but we have. We are fighting the Kremlin, a troll army, the Russian mafia, and Saudi murderers. Do you think this is an easy battle, and we're just not fighting it? What a ridiculous, myopic thing to say!

At the same time, we are also watching the ONE WAY IN WHICH JUSTICE CAN BE DONE, the meticulous, methodical work of a team that has rolled up Mafia bosses, terrorists, and murderers before. We do still have a country with the rule of law--which even the very criminals we're facing ultimately understand, as you can see by the many plea deals and even agreements to go to prison from people like Manafort and Cohen. Please don't ascribe whatever you are feeling or not doing to the rest of us.

Nah. I want trump on video, where he'd have NO room to wiggle, like saying he misunderstood the question when he wrote the answers.
