1. You know why brother Shred.

Different standards for our two parties. Case closed, baby.

2. Good question... the Dotard should have been arrested ages ago!

3. Exactly what you said, bullshit.

The party of Trump expects special treatment.

They lie about everything and they are lying about the 60 day rule.

4. this has only been a formal doj rule since 2012.

though some earlier ag's have enforced the concept informally, albeit not based on a strict count of days.

congressional investigations are often intended to influence elections (certainly the ones republicans run), so they don't observe anything like this.

5. IOKIYR

Shameful, partisan hacks without the courage to just say no to dividing Americans.

6. That 60 day stuff isn't an actual rule/law. Trump isn't running in an election, so it doesn't matter

The candidate was supposed to be running for office for this unwritten provision to kick in.

8. It's not a law or even a rule

it's a discretionary courtesy. That's all.

Besides, Trump and his conspirators are not on the ballot so there is zero concern for conflict

9. Manafort's second trial starts mid-September

Mueller isn't going away anytime soon.

10. For the same reason the Senate could not approve an Obama appointed SC Justice in his final year

Because they are Republicans and anything else just doesn't cut it.

11. The FBI is gonna be the FBI...

At least they mostly act like adults...except when they have a rogue cabal that decides to interfere with an election like Buttercup's boys in the NY office. Still waiting for the investigations on that...guess they'll have to wait until the Dems take back at least one branch of the f*cking government.

13. THI/!

The Con will learn.

12. 60 day rule doesn't apply if mueller wishes to indict don jr, roger stone and

Kirshner..
