There is nothing now that will remove the bastard plus he is going to be emboldened in his reign of terror.

Go read his thoughts on Twitter. Puts it all in perspective. No need to be depressed. Media winding us up for ratings, then they can speculate for a few more weeks til the next big thing.

There seem to be. He might have sealed them until he could deliver his report... because if one of them is for the execrable Jared, Trump might have shut it down.

Let's see what those indictments are.

also, "unindicted co-conspirator" status isn't always immediately known-- Nixon's status wasn't known for 2 months.

What I hate is the thought that Trump will be gloating and happy tonight. I want him miserable and scared.

Also, let's see how independent Barr really is. no matter what, that report is going to include a whole lot of nasty info about Trump and his crew. Will Barr make that public, or hide it?

And only a few words of Mueller are quoted -- not even one complete sentence.

So don't react the way they HOPE you will.

Sit back, breathe, and wait til we see it for ourselves.

which is constrained by technicalities and processes (designed by entrenched white men to benefit themselves) is far different than actual truth.

It's plain as day that Trump is a Putin asset, and that the 2016 election was hijacked.

Mueller has done a ton. But if you were expecting him to indict the President, despite all the information that indicated that almost certainly never going to happen, you were setting yourself up for disappointment.

We need to push for the best candidate in 2020 and work damn hard to get out the vote. No amount of scandal will convince corrupt republicans to convict after a successful impeachment and no amount of scandal will convince his sick base to abandon him.

2020 comes down to us.

Because the 2016 election was corrupted and now they have basically been given the okay to do it again in 2020. Do you think putin is going to stand down in 2020? I don't.

I don't know if I can tell you to relax, but that's my next best advice.

What you think you know, you probably don't even know the slightest fraction.

Wait for the report.

we ever do see the full report? How will us seeing it change anything? We already know tRump colluded with Russia based on all that has already come out.
