Does anyone else feel completely let down?

[Control-Z]

I feel like the Mueller investigation is over and the maggot's been vindicated. I know that hasn't happened (at least not yet) but it is exactly how it feels to me.

[greyl]

1. Snap out of it.

There are sealed indictments, other prosecutors in many states, and we don't know what the Report says.

[Control-Z]

6. I will try.

Thank you. This is what I need to hear from my fellow DUers.

[greyl]

8. You're welcome, and thanks for your reception.

[OliverQ]

9. But Mueller's team isn't releasing any indictments.

[Keefer]

22. Andrea Mitchell:

32. Zero evidence of any "sealed indictments" that have anything to do with this investigation.

[Codeine]

41. The sealed indictments were a fantasy.

They never existed outside of Twitter.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. No. Not at all. We don't even know what's in the report,

and Trump's behavior this past week has been unusually squirrelly, even for him - which at least suggests that he knows what's in it and that it isn't good for him. Anyhow, regardless of what's in it, there are many other investigations going on and they will continue.

[Control-Z]

10. You are right.

I'm going to try to look at things just the way you are. Thank you.

[uponit7771]

3. Don't know enough yet, report doesn't say much don't think it will

[Control-Z]

13. Right?

It feels like it won't say much. I hope I'm wrong.

[uponit7771]

17. +1, Gates and Flynn and Cohen are still being processed don't see all the doors being shut at the

... least this is the end if the beginning.

[CatWoman]

4. on the contrary

i'm feeling pissed off at DU with this panic frenzy for no fucking reason

[Control-Z]

16. Good!

So you're pissed at me? Good. I hope you're right.

[CatWoman]

18. "you" are not "DU"

you are part of DU

[Corgigal]

5. Nope,

Fed had to close the report to hand off to the state.

[H2O Man]

7. Not at all.

[sarisataka]

11. Nope

I never expected much out of it.

[Nevermypresident]

12. If what I just heard on CNN is accurate...then totally surprised. Reporter just now

said she was told that there will be no further indictments (of anyone) from Mueller's investigation. (including sealed indictments).



What about Don Jr, Kushner , Corsi, friends of trump on inauguration committee, etc. etc. etc.???!!? This is very difficult for me to understand.

Trump's pp. already saying that this Mueller report is going to "clear the decks" for them for the 2020 campaign.

If this is true, sure, we can hope for New York State to bring indictments etc., but, if so, how many years from now? 2 years, 6 years??

Constitution, what constitution?

[Control-Z]

20. This is how I've been thinking.

I'm hating everything I'm hearing on the news. Ugh.

[Lars39]

14. Nope, I view this as the beginning.

[uponit7771]

19. Right, this is the end of the beginning and onto 1432 other investigations. My worst thought of ...

... Mueller would be Mueller shut the investigation down because Barr or Red Don told him to or didn't go into areas because he was told to.

[Nevermypresident]

24. Seriously, the beginning of what?

[Lars39]

25. We don't even know what's in the report,

and there are still investigations going on.

[Nevermypresident]

35. If you are of the ilk that he should face repercussion for his Abuse of Power, etc.

and be removed from office - I have to disagree with your "This is just the beginning".

However, if you are of the ilk that you believe one day, after leaving office, he will face the consequences of his lifetime of dirty dealing, lying, possibly moneylaundering, etc. and that's what you believe by saying "This is just the beginning"...well, there's always hope.

However, the chances of trump being removed from office before 2020 and not running for president in 2020 have diminished considerably. IMO...this is more like the ending...not any beginning.

You can believe I'm being a debbie downer. That's fine.

However, IMO, I'm calling it like I see it.

[Lars39]

37. The public has to be along every step of the way.

Evidence has to be laid out, etc. We’re lucky things have moved along this quickly.

[bdamomma]

40. could be

Barr is in the spotlight now. Can't trust that POS.

[octoberlib]

15. There's still SDNY and Congressional investigations.

[nolabear]

21. This only serves them. We don't know anything yet.

And if you have to have the sun and only get the moon you’ll never be anything but hopeless.

[BigDemVoter]

23. Nope.

[bluestarone]

26. NOT i

I will not jump to conclusions! Keep the faith. We WILL remove this walking piece of shit!

[donkeypoofed]

27. But, but, but, Jerome Corsi said Mueller told him he was going to be indicted

What is happening right now.....

[Codeine]

42. Who cares what Corsi said?

The man is a human turd

[pwb]

28. No. Now lets get into it and see what we got.

.

[regnaD kciN]

29. Sounds like a lot of whistling past the graveyard here to me...

All these “it’s not over yet” fly in the face of reality. It’s over.

What I’m seeing here is the “bargaining” stage of the five stages of death. We may as well move on to acceptance. Not saying Trump isn’t guilty as sin, but he’s managed to skate on this one.

[smirkymonkey]

34. I hate to admit it, but I am kind of agreeing with you here.

I never did have a lot of faith that Mueller was going to turn up anything on Trump and his family, and I still feel like the bastard and his accomplices are going to get away with everything. I hope we are wrong.

[sheshe2]

30. No!

Read here. Read the whole tweet thread from Seth Abramson.

Here is one part.

This is just the tip of the iceberg.

[bdamomma]

43. thank you

sheshe2

This is not wrapped up yet. Far from it.

[sheshe2]

45. Not even close, bdamomma.

[LincolnRossiter]

31. Yes. Let down. I don't know if that smug POS will be "vindicated" entirely...

But that will be the practical effect.

[Sherman A1]

33. No

but I my expectations were less than zero. I understand that others may have had higher hopes, but that generally isn't the way it all works out.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

36. Not yet. Not close to yet.

The report will say a lot that we don't know even now, whether it is good or bad.

Wait for the report.

[Codeine]

38. Not a bit.

All this talk about Don Jr in cuffs and mountains of sealed indictments and the endless proclamations of “HE’S GOING DOWN!” were always delusional fantasy, fed by fantastists on Twitter creating “facts” from whole cloth.

The fault doesn’t lie with the Special Counsel, or with his report. The fault lies with people confusing speculation with news, and happy talk with fact.

Trump will be with us until we beat him in 2020 or until he serves out his second term (barring a coronary, naturally.) No criminal indictments, impeachment, or 25th Amendment procedure will save us from not doing our job.

[Raine]

39. No because I never had any expectations.. nt

[Hekate]

44. Nope
