U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller Has Ended His Investigation On Russian Interference In The 2016 Presidential Election






Daily Mail: BREAKING NEWS: Robert Mueller has handed his report on Trump and Russia to attorney general William Barr - who will now decide how much of probe is made public

* Robert Mueller handed over his report into Russia involvement in the 2016 election to the attorney general, Bill Barr
* Newsflash at 5 p.m. Friday means the Mueller probe is over - almost two years after it was started in May 2017
* Trump had blasted it as a 'witchhunt' and repeated his 'no collusion' mantra on Friday morning
* White House said it has not seen the report in any form or been briefed on its contents
* Barr has thankless responsibility of deciding which portions of Mueller's output can be released in a way that's consistent with federal law
* It's possible Barr could delicately thread a political needle by sending an executive summary to Capitol Hill and keeping the rest private
* That would be likely to open a war with Democrats

Special Counsel Robert Mueller delivered his long-awaited report Friday to Attorney General Bill Barr, setting up a political battle over what's in it and how much will be made public.

The news swept through Washington in the flash of thousands of tweets just before 5:00 p.m. Friday.

The Justice Department notified leaders of the House and Senate Judiciary Committees before announcing the end of a 22-month-long saga focused on allegations that President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign colluded with agents of Russia to improve his chances in the election.

Trump, according to White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders, has not seen any results from Mueller's investigation.

WNU Editor: I did not expect this investigation to end right now. I also expect details of the report will be leaked this weekend, especially if there are explosive details. I also expect the full report to be released to the public in due time.

Fred Lapides must be getting ready for his victory lap - after all he was the biggest believer in the Russia collusion and was ready to lynch Trump already 2 years ago because cnn told him to. Man do I look silly now.

Fred, common, stop calling half the country deplorables for doubting what your overlords are trying to make us believe. We have brains. Good brains. BIG BRAINS! and we have humour.. remember that Fred? It used to be fun to joke around about politics. Then the Democrats called everyone racist just for disagreeing on a policy matter. Then they screamed and shouted to end due process to end an innocent man's life. All the evidence was there. But you marched on. You formed mobs, you intimidated. Hillary literally said "civility can be restored when we are back in power". Think!
Maxine Waters called for the intimidation of people who disagree. The same from AOC.
You are the radicals. You are the storm troopers. You project. All the time. Know why I am so confident ahead of the actual release? Because deplorables have actually quite big nuts and brains. You have entitlement and group thinking. We are independent minded :P You favour entitlement and identity politcs, we favour independence, freedom of speech and and end of trigger warnings, safe zones, and your entire attitude of calling us all racist just for disagreeing. You are obscene.

37 indictment not convictions ...for speeding tickets, parking tickets, jay walking.

Some smarmy wag will say that it is serious. It is for tax evasion!

In New York?



For Real!?


Tell me it ain't so Joe!

The higher the rate the more scofflaws you have. When the scofflaws hit the double digits in avoidance, then the scofflaws are actually the people making the laws in Albany and city hall.

Why not wait till the game has ended rather than calling things in 9th inning like amateurs?
fred, aka, the parrot

Mike Feldhake said...

Fred, I think pride has the best of you and your party loyalists. You've been wrong about this the whole time; man up and admit it and move on. Otherwise continue with this narrative and keep tearing us apart. We're not the deplorables, you guys are LOL.

"Why not wait till the game has ended rather than calling things in 9th inning"

It is a game? It is real life and not a game, but I have never been impressed much by you.

"All analogies fall apart if take too far"

Games have set period of play or ending time. This does not. it could go on 2 more years, 5 more, 10 more or 20 more years.

Also Congress is to set defense policy, make a budget, and other things. They are not there to make Torquemada look like an amateur.

For a hypothetical example, if you are going to start an inquiry to look into whether Donald Trump murdered someone in broad daylight on 5th Avenue, you don't come back after a year of investigating and say "Hey one of business associate who he hired for 3 months didn't pay his taxes a decade ago." The inquiry should be about homicide. It should not be about Cohen trying to get out from a corrupt New York city and state government.

Let's look at Cohen. In addition to the insane tax rate of NYC, there is the state instituted corruption of cab medallions. The Wall street Journal (WSJ) runs articles on it and how for example it is keeping Americans of Haitian descent down. Which is good form the DNC view point because it keeps them needy and thus they fall in line to vote Democrat.
But someone reads the NYT and not the WSJ, so that someone doesn't know or believe there is a problem with taxicabs. Or that NYC is effed with taxes.

Manafort was hired for 3 months. He had a job. His job was to see about the delegate count. Manafort had worked for many Republicans and Trump had no reason to believe that he had done anything wrong.

Was Manafort dirty just because he went to Ukraine? General Flynn went to Russia. When he did, an arch-liberal Wingnut was sitting right next to him. You or some other Democrat going to stick you digit up her rumpus and give her a proctology exam, too?

If Trump had asked Cohen or Manafort "Did you pay your taxes?", what would they have said? Could Trump have investigated them? Could Trump have investigated Manafort better than the IRS?

How is Manafort in trouble for not registering as foreign agent, when the Democrats he worked with are not? Sounds like selective justice to me.

I still do not know what undefinable things Flynn did. All I heard was he was seen in Moscow next to Jill Stein and he was talking to some people about moving Gulen from the US to Turkey. Gulen is a bad guy. He is just colling his heels in America, so he is not going to bad mouth or act against the US at that time. Don't expect Gulen to be grateful for the years of Sanctuary. Khomeini wasn't. The only reason to keep Gulen safe is because we will not act against Erdogan and Gulen keep s him a little bit pinned down. That is it and it is not much. It may not be worth the freight.

Anyway you keep treating the welfare of 330 million people like it is a 9 inning baseball game. We wouldn't expect anything else from a low brow.
