1. I'm cool, bro

Keeping it cool.

[AJT]

2. Concerned that neither 45 or his spawn were indicted.

[womanofthehills]

17. This could just be the beginning

Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) said that there is a strong possibility that Trump's family could be indicted by other entities based on the work of Mueller. http://ow.ly/ZibI30o9PFQ

22. Looks like the end.

29. Yep

The SDNY cases are still going on.

[gldstwmn]

55. If SDNY gets a hold of them they ain't letting go. n/t

[gldstwmn]

54. I never thought Mueller was going to indict 45. The precedent is too

murky. Kushner will pay for his misdeeds one way or another.

[True Dough]

3. Here's my **advice**

Use a "c" for the proper word!

[erronis]

31. Agree. I'm no puritan but when posting a headline make it right.

Its knot that hard too due.

[True Dough]

35. Well, how about your DU screen name?

erroneous for sure!!!

[BigmanPigman]

37. That reminded me of my teaching days.

I would write a sentence on the board that had about 10-30 errors and my students in First Grade had to correct them for points. They loved doing this. They could do it well in their daily exercises but forgot to apply the rules in their own, every day writing samples.

[TexasBushwhacker]

58. That was a great way to teach

I put together the program book for a local film festival. I catch a lot of errors made by the filmmakers in their synopses. Then my assistant and I proof each other's work for format errors. Oh, the red ink! It gets bloody, but we get it right.

[Codeine]

39. It was a play on the use of the word "advise"

in the quoted letter

[True Dough]

41. Thanks. I hadn't read the letter in full when I posted.

[Leghorn21]

4. Copy that, pants!

I don’t know why I’m so fkn calm, but I am. I don’t have a clue what’s up, but...I guess I’m keepin the faith or something

I’m just waiting for that Manhattan court to unseal Epstein documents, actually

Also, we have Gates and Flynn and people we never heard of who have been sharing what they know

standing by!

[gldstwmn]

56. Flynn is the one I am most curious about. Some John Doe

is trying to keep those Epstein documents sealed.

[Hekate]

5. Works for me,

[H2O Man]

6. Recommended.

Chill drinks if you drink. Prepare pot if you smoke. Eat hash if you prefer (warning: not more than a gram). Or any combination.

[diva77]

15. chocolate consumption would be appropriate as well

[Leghorn21]

7. Rep. Swalwell's remaining calm:

Eric Swalwell to @MSNBC: "The American people
will see every word, every comma, every period
of this report. The president is outnumbered now
in a way that he was not before ... It's just a matter of time."

[VOX]

14. Thanks for this. I trust Swalwell, he's no slouch.

And he’s 100% aware of every nuance and shading of this insanity.

[bdamomma]

43. Mueller may be

finished but his team is out there. SDNY is still out there. There is still information out there, doesn't change the fact that trump is still a POS.

[gldstwmn]

57. They will leak it as a last resort. n/t

[Soxfan58]

8. I'm OK

But I hope donny is shiting his pants!

[mainstreetonce]

9. If you are disappointed

Don't boo. Vote

[Honeycombe8]

10. Well, there are things we know. Like...he didn't indict any of the family....

or anyone in the campaign for conspiring with Russia re the election.

So, it's a disappointment, for me. Whether the evidence is there for it or not, we don't know. But the SCO did not indict.

[womanofthehills]

19. Don't under estimate the SDNY

Manhattan-based federal prosecutors can challenge Trump in ways Mueller can’t. They have jurisdiction over the president’s political operation and businesses — subjects that aren’t protected by executive privilege, a tool Trump is considering invoking to block portions of Mueller’s report. From a PR perspective, Trump has been unable to run the same playbook on SDNY that he’s used to erode conservatives’ faith in Mueller, the former George W. Bush-appointed FBI director. Legal circles are also buzzing over whether SDNY might buck DOJ guidance and seek to indict a sitting president.

https://www.politico.com/story/2019/02/18/trump-new-york-mueller-investigation-1173346

[Honeycombe8]

24. Well, I meant for conspiring w/Russia. That's not in the jurisdiction of the SDNY.

I know there are charges that may come in the SDNY and maybe elsewhere, relating to laundering and fraud and such.

It's not likely anyone will indict Trump for anything, since he's President.

Impeachment is the recourse, I suppose.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

11. Thank. You.

Exactly.

We don't know what's going to happen now.

That's the shitty thing about life in general.

You never know what will happen.

[getagrip_already]

12. if you want a positive perspective, go over to...

I'm not saying he's right, but the opinion pieces make me feel better.... Hoping he is right. He does have a good track record fwiw.

[Honeycombe8]

26. Thanks. I need a little positiveness. nt

[somaticexperiencing]

32. Yes, this is a positive take. Will entertain that it's accurate. Thank you.

[Codeine]

40. That dude is a complete joke.

Just consistently and constantly incorrect.

[Initech]

13. Over???? Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!

[Honeycombe8]

27. Germans? nt

[catbyte]

33. ...

[Initech]

46. Forget it he's rolling!

[keepFocused06]

16. Just don't get it

I feel like the evidence has been staring us in the face for a long time but now somehow Mueller has vindicated him and it doesn't make any sense. Why would he lie about the trump tower meeting, why would he lie about the trump moscow tower, why would he fire Comey, why would he keep denying that Russia interfered, why would he kiss Putin's ass every chance he gets, why would he tell the Russians that firing Comey got the heat off of him, why would Don Jr not tell his father about the meeting a trump tower, why the hell did all these trump people have contact with russians. I just don't get it. You will hear the words I told you so and witch hunt at least 500 times next week. SMH.

[NanceGreggs]

30. Where did you get the idea ...

... that "Mueller has vindicated him"?

[keepFocused06]

34. That's the consensus

The media is going on and on about how this is a a great day for trump and his people are saying the same thing. I think the Democrats are going to try and figure out how to investigate him after this. I literally can't believe it.

[NanceGreggs]

36. What consensus?

This sounds like a classic "some people are saying" post.

After listening to the mindless spin coming out of the WH for the past two years, what makes it credible now?

It was just a few weeks ago that Trump was yelling that the judge in Manafort's case had declared there was "no collusion" by Spanky - when of course the judge said no such thing, or anything remotely like it.

Right now, no one other than Barr and Mueller knows what it's the final report - ergo, no one is in a position to claim that it's "good news" for Trump.

[keepFocused06]

44. It's all over the news

I been hearing pundits talking about trump being exonerated all evening.

[NanceGreggs]

45. Are you watching FOX-News?

I've had CNN on for hours, and no one (not even the GOP pundits) are saying that. The only thing they're saying is that Trump is probably relieved that there won't be any further indictments from Mueller.

Given that no one knows what's in the report as yet, claiming "exoneration" or "vindication" has no meaning whatsoever.

This is like being in a courtroom, the jury announces they've completed their deliberations, and before they announce their verdict, the defendant jumps up and yells "I've obviously been found innocent!"

In any event, pundits, WH spinners, etc. can say whatever they want - it doesn't matter. Mueller's report says what it says - and all the spin in the world isn't going to alter a word of it.

The GOP have been whistling past the Trump graveyard for two years - they're just whistling louder now.

[underpants]

49. Good to hear.

I watched basketball all night ...after we watched "16 Candles" with our daughter. 😁

[Fiendish Thingy]

18. People are forgetting the "cooperators"

Flynn, Gates, and others will get reduced sentences for providing evidence of others’ crimes, so no way is this the end of indictments.

[dameatball]

20. Good advice. Somehow I lucked out and have been "chilling" in a small fishing village on the Gulf

of Mexico. Had no idea the Mueller report would be released today and have been occasionally checking in on DU but not posting. The local distractions have helped. Let's see where we go from here. Whatever happens, we have a long road ahead.

[GulfCoast66]

47. Mind if I ask which village? I am retiring to one of them in 8 years.

There are so many great places on the gulf.

[dameatball]

50. I'm in Steinhatchee with kids and grandkids. Nice getaway place.

[GulfCoast66]

53. Been many times for scalloping.

Love the Big Bend area of Florida.

[dameatball]

59. Yes. "Old Florida." I like it.

[underpants]

48. That sounds great

I need to start looking for my retirement spot and that sounds exactly what like I'm looking for.

[dameatball]

51. It isn't for everyone, but I like it. It's kind of quiet until scallop season.

[zentrum]

21. This doesn't work for me. Because

...Barr is not to be trusted. He will serve Trump. He's a rightwing hack. "Advise" in that light takes on an entirely different meaning.

[B Stieg]

23. Chris Matthews is freaking out...

I just hope he's not right about the lack of indictments in tRumpland and the problem with tRump never testifying.

[bitterross]

25. Great suggestion! You are right.

It won't happen, but you are right.

[Kurt V.]

28. Check

[BigmanPigman]

38. This is the beginning of the end....

...finally!

[bdamomma]

42. Thank you

underpants. Good advice.
