Nothing because the Republicans won’t convict him, so in the end it’s all a waste. 

Because that is where the true corruption lies.

2 ( +2 / -0 )

Manafort may be guilty of many deeds; so are many, among whom the losing candidate who destroyed evidence in defiance of a subpoena.

Nothing whatsoever to do with Trump the duly-elected president or his election. Nothing to do with Russia and all that nonsense.

Really - Manafort was just his Campaign Manager - the No. 1 guy in the campaign. And Manafort had worked previously for Russians, was in hock to a Russian oligarch, attended a meeting at Trump Tower with Don Jr and Jared with Russian intelligence agents, and passed campaign polling data to another Russian agent.

Then there are all the other Trump associates that met with Russians...and they all lied under oath about it...

Sure, this has nothing to do with Russia...and Ann Coulter thinks Trump's a genius...

Again, dodge, non responsive to the question:  

Can you just answer it? I admit, I don’t know, I’m not in these people’s heads or in Mueller’s corrupt head.

You can answer it - you just don't want to admit it - Trump and all the people named above were colluding with Russians to influence the election in their favor - and then when caught, they lied about it.

What other reason is there for all the lying?

Ready for another one? Why did Don Jr and Eric both say they get all the financing they need for the Trump Organization from Russia, and then Donnie comes out and says he has "zero" business in Russia? Both can't be true - who's lying?

Why is it lie after lie with Trump?

admit, I don’t know, I’m not in these people’s heads

But there's IS a totally legal, not at all sketchy, reason to lie to investigators isn't there? Its not possible that individual 1 committed a crime, everyone is corrupt. Right? ;)

Not defeat, I just admit that I’m not an all seeing mystical and magical liberal.

Oh really? Of course you are all seeing and all knowing. Let's have a look:

Why did Mueller overlook Hillary’s Uranium One deal with Russia?

Uhh...probably because it went through the proper channels, multiple channels, and despite being a registered Republican, looks at the facts, and isnt given to partisan birdcage liner?

Why is it that Trump haters are ok with a bogus witch hunt that has ONLY Democrat lawyers and doners?

Define bogus? Hahahaha ha how many guilty pleas? How many charged? Well beyond "bogus" now.

 How is that fair, why if Trump haters that believe in the rule of law are ok with this?

Because of silly rightwing fantasy, there is 0 proof that any of this is illegal.

But you DO more, don't you, than Mueller. You read all the rightwing news sources, so you know more than Mueller, don't you? Forget the numerous convictions of Trumpies and forget thr fact that 0 of the people you have mentioned have been charged, you just know they're all guilty and Mueller is partisan hack, don't you? Absolutely hilarious.

Again, dodge, non responsive to the question:  

Can you just answer it? I admit, I don’t know, I’m not in these people’s heads or in Mueller’s corrupt head, now your turn.

Why wasn’t Tony Podesta arrested and why did he get immunity considering he did the same processed crimes as Manafort with the twist of knowing what his brother had on his HD. Why didn’t Comey recommend indicting her for shoving her HD server in a restaurant and then later moving it over to Abedin’s laptop?

Why did Mueller overlook Hillary’s Uranium One deal with Russia? Why is it that Trump haters are ok with a bogus witch hunt that has ONLY Democrat lawyers and doners? How is that fair, why if Trump haters that believe in the rule of law are ok with this?

Why is it that Holder wasn’t arrested tor lying to Congress or that Lois Lerner was allowed to get a pension after not answering a single question as to why she audited and took out every powerful conservative donor in 2011. Why isn’t the media making waves when the former President says to the former Russian President that after the election he’ll have more flexibility on the missile defense shield?

Why all the lying?

"I don't know" - Finally an admission of defeat -

Not defeat, I just admit that I’m not an all seeing mystical and magical liberal.

But you also can’t answer why corrupt liberals are able to get away with pretty much anything and you guys are only selectively angered by only what conservatives do...nice try.

Meh, Trump supporters also said the idea that Russia was trying to interfere was fake news, “no evidence “. Given time Mueller’s investigation has amply borne out that Russia. They were wrong.

So, we’ll see, we’ll see.

Dodge - non-responsive to the question...

No, you just got pinned.

Again, dodge, non responsive to the question: Why did Manafort, Gates, Sessions, Papdapolous, Cohen, Don Jr, Jared, et al, all lie about meeting with Russians? They didn't have to lie - they could have told the truth if there wasn't any criminal intent - but they chose to lie - all under oath. Why?

Why did Don Jr and Jared lie about meeting with Russians at Trump Tower? Why didn't they just say it was to get dirt collected by the Russians on Hillary? Why did they concoct the fake story about the meeting being about adoptions?

Why did Trump help them concoct this fake story and why when asked about it did he lie and say he had nothing to do with the memo? Then it later came out Trump personally dictated the fake memo. Why did he lie about it?

Why all the lying?

Wasn't involved? He initially said he new nothing about the the fake memo about adoptions. Then later in a court document, he admits that he wrote the fake memo. Why did he initially lie by saying he didn't write the memo? Why did he lie in writing in the memo saying the meeting was about adoptions?

I don’t know, but why is it that Mueller Didn’t arrest or indict either of the Podesta brothers? Tony Podesta don’t you think that’s odd? I find it very strange that you have an FBI cropped official that hires nothing but Democrats and then the bypasses a Democrat who is in bed with the person he’s trying to lock up right now.

"I don't know" - Finally an admission of defeat - so you can't explain why Trump lied about not writing the fake memo, and lied in the memo saying it was about adoptions...and you didn't explain why all the others lied....

You're right - there is no explanation, other than they're all guilty of colluding with Russians and got caught lying about it...

Thank you Repub Robert Mueller and mostly career Repub team...

Guilt by association equates to ad hominem fallacy, the ultimate recourse of rabble rousers.

Naw, should be out, now as far as how much of it Barr thinks the public should see is the real stickler.

The Mueller report should be out according to your contacts in the FBI? ROFL! Smh. Kudos. Lol! I'm rich. I get my medical care at a non-existent US base in Fukuoka. I just happen to have a personal anecdote that supports every position I take!

Thanks to the assets seized from Manafort, Mueller has actually made money for the government

So Mueller got some dirty money. If he wants to get a lot more dirty money, he should go after the Clintons. He still ain't done what he started out to do - prove Trump colluded with Russia. He never will.

$40 million and counting... when this is over and there's no collusion, the Democrats should refund the taxpayers and Mueller should be charged with failure to go after the real criminals.

Only a liberal would still try to measure something in months that goes on for more than 11 months.

The most appropriate measure in “years”for sonething at 21 months (that doesn’t require such specificity) would be 2 years. Neither 1 year nor 3 years is better.

If that’s all you got, you are losing. All your liberal media told us the report was out next week. Was fake news again.

-7 ( +0 / -7 )

Mueller has only been at it for 21 months. 

And he's still got nothing on Trump. What gives? He can't possibly be this incompetent.

The Mueller instigation has redefined "nothing burger."

-6 ( +0 / -6 )

there is not an associated crime everytime someone lies. It’s muellers job to link any lies he can to actual crimes. 

Otherwise a lie can have hundreds of reasons why that aren’t criminal.

Lying under oath is a crime independent of what is being investigated.

You don’t even need the report anymore after telling me for 2 years to wait for it. True liberal motives are really coming out now.

Two years is 24 months. Mueller has only been at it for 21 months. Math is difficult.

Love the Trumpie logic here;

So, Trump's associates all lied about the same thing, and in doing so comitted crimes such as perjury or lying to investigators, but there could be perfectly good, and very legal, reasons to this. Hahahahahaha totally, makes a lot of sense.

Americans Don’t Need the Mueller Report to Judge Trump

Neither do you, quite clearly. It's more than obvious that to you and others he's just fabulous, no matter what. I don't get it, really. I would never go to as much time or effort defending any politician, even ones I quite like and I can't think of any of them.

Someone lied with no crime linked to that lie means nothing.

If they've lied to investigators during the course of the investigation then it is a crime itself. Doesn't matter whether it can be linked to another crime or not.

As much as the top echelon of the FBI hate the President, if there were anything remotely connecting him to Russia we would have known and it would have been leaked, the media would have ran with it.

Family members meeting at a family owned business under your own family name in order to get dirt on the opposition is actually a direct link.

Ok we will see the liberal response when the report has nothing. If it does have something that is backed up by actual evidence I will be shocked. But I will accept it.

How would you know that? Crime family? Lol

Trumpers can continue to view it from their binary Lib-Con world, aided and abetted by Faux News and the Kremlin, but this isn't anything so simple. It's a complex attack on our democracy, by a foreign power - in collusion with Americans who have turned their back on their country. 

Riiiiiight.

Manafort, and others, were this foreign powers foot soldiers. And while their Supreme General is in the Kremlin, the second-in-command is in the White House...

But not for much longer....

Ok, now back to reality. The President is not going to jail and as I have said before if the Mueller is not what do you guys want, will you finally take a rest accept the finding?

-7 ( +2 / -9 )

problem is that no one has even been charged with collusion much less convicted or it. So who did it?

I see you haven't studied this issue very deeply - collusion is not a criminal offense; "colluding" could be evidence of conspiracy (see "Individual -1") - which is a crime. In addition, obstruction of justice, tax evasion, money laundering, etc., are all crimes. And Trump is in the crosshairs - even your favorite network thinks so...

Nice narrative but 2 years later you can’t prove any of it. It’s like a fairy tale.

The only fairy tale is that nothing has been proved...

The criminal nature of the Russian effort is already well-known. The special counsel’s 191 charges brought against 37 individuals and companies spell out some of the crimes allegedly committed in furtherance of the Russian attack on our democracy. Those include indictments of Russian individuals and entities for their participation in conspiracies to hack into the computer and email systems of Trump’s political opponents and release damaging information and to engage in a social media disinformation campaign using fake identities.

That's what is being investigated. That's why the investigation needs to be allowed to be finished. That's why the details of what is known shouldn't be released until the investigation is complete. Something which your side, including Trump himself, have been trying so hard to block. Why? These other crimes have been uncovered during the course of the investigation and the offenders have rightfully been charged. That isn't a problem at all.

It always amazes me to see the Trumpers here react as the long list of Trump associates is paraded before the dock and shown to be some of the sleaziest creatures ever to walk in Washington. "It's no big deal..."

Manafort, Gates, Flynn, Papadapolous, Sessions, Cohen, and the ultimate cesspool creature; Roger Stone. And those are just the folks that were deep in with the Russians, and lied about it. Don Jr and Jared also lied, and will be in the dock next.

Then you have all the corrupt cabinet members; Price, Zinke, Pruitt, DeVos, Brock, et al., fleecing taxpayers as they pad their nest egg.
