Watching the polls come in last night on MSNBC (Topic: Mueller probe)

The had a ticker down below on opinion polls taken of the public. One really disturbed me: More people disapprove of the Mueller probe than approve.

This bugs me, and makes me wonder if the probe had been going on too long, and the public is getting tired of it.

Originally, public support was relatively high, if I recall correctly...

(I refused to turn the TV on at all) I wouldn't put much stock in anything they said.

That is why the poll bothered me. It showed something like 52% against, 44% approve of the probe. I don't have the exact number...

not "regular polls".

The ones pushing this are the RW media but here is NBC's - https://www.nbcnews.com/card/nbc-news-exit-poll-voters-divided-mueller-s-handling-investigation-n932836

And the myriad of felonies committed by dozens of Trump advocates and Trump himself are given light of day.

Trump and the RW propaganda machine have had 2 years to lie to the American people. But justice isn't a popularity contest. It's based on rule of law, and baby, the law is about to rule.

Mueller has been quiet for the past couple if months, perhaps because of the pending election. IMO Mueller is about to make the trump crime syndicate's shit hit the fan. With Dems controlling Congress, Mueller is much stronger. Whatever poll MSNBC cited does not concern me.

Be looking over your shoulder Donnie, Pelosi and the Dems are about to expose your corruption. And Mueller is not far behind you either.
