Robert Mueller, American Patriot -- Thank You For Your Service To Our Country!

Last edited Sat Mar 23, 2019, 02:06 AM - Edit history (2)

Today, March 22, 2019 is Mueller Time!

I've learned so much about the FBI, American civics, law, history, prosecutorial practices, Congress, good government, foreign cyberwar, intelligence services, campaign finance, the Southern District of New York, great lawyers in our government, that I can't even begin to feel disappointed in what this country will still learn from Mueller in the months ahead!

How can I not be amazed at all the impeccable work this man has done?!

192 = overall criminal counts brought through the Mueller team;
37 = people and entities charged;
6 = people who pleaded guilty to crimes;
5 = people sentenced to jail;

Mueller's full report probably contains new information, classified information, material evidence, grand jury information, investigation conclusions. The classified and unclassified versions of the two-year criminal inquiry report by the Special Counsel will come out in congressional hearings, and the classified one will likely be, according to Malcolm Nance, the impeachment document.

As Seth Abrams has explained, Mueller's work intersects with the counterintelligence investigation.

SDNY, FBI and Congress -- all three of these investigative bodies continue from Robert Mueller's report.

Here's another cool as hell thing I look forward to:

-- FBI attorneys prosecute Roger Stone in November, eight months from now.
-- The FBI's cooperating witness Rick Gates will participate in "multiple" ongoing federal criminal investigations.
-- Mike Flynn, Roger Stone, Jerome Corsi, Rick Gates, Maria Buttina, Bijan Kian courts will produce the evidence that adds up to evidence of Chump's knowledge and intent.
-- The House Judiciary, other House and Senate committees will probably call on Robert Mueller, if needed, to understand his declinations which, along with so much else, will help them uphold their oversight duties to inform the nation.

Everything points to indictments of Chump and family as conspirators in what can still be concluded as anti-American abuses of power, counts of laundering, tax fraud, aiding and abetting a foreign hostile power.

Even Malcolm Nance says, "The report itself is likely THE CRIMINAL INDICTMENT YOU’RE WAITING FOR."

There is still redacted classified evidence!

There are still sealed indictments!

Heading toward 2020, I'm not just feeling relief over our revived democracy, but because of Robert Mueller, I'm having a more hopeful, back to normal life.

Thank you, Robert Mueller, for your invaluable service to our country.

and isn't having hysterics over not having had Trump's head delivered to them on a silver platter, which wasn't going to happen anyhow. Thank you for your sanity.

The house will be packed, my friends and I will toast every every time we hear the indicted's name and get so lit that we'll have a big sleepover, and next morning, hangover breakfast with bloody trumpies and eggs benedict arnolds.

I don't know what's going on around here, but I think DU should be much happier about all this.

Just sayin'.

Meeting narrative. Trump never having to answer questions under oath. Did Don Jr lie to congress? Cohen paid for that and he cooperated. What bullshit.

till November, and it's being heard in the Washington D.C. federal court, under a US prosecutor who isn't Robert Mueller.

So any flipping that might happen with Stone and any new charges that come about won't "count" as a Mueller indictment -- but so what?

Remember that the Stone indictment says someone directed a top campaign official to contact Roger Stone about Wikileaks? Well, both that unnamed top campaign official and the "someone" who directed that official are under the microscope now.

This ain't over yet. Not by a long shot.

I find I am missing Mr. Mueller & Co. already, and they’ve only been “gone” for a few hours now...wannhh

I’m calm and keeping the faith, and delighted to read your long and thoughtful post - thanks for putting it together for us!!

If the evidence didn't take him - and TrumpCo. - where we wanted them to go.....that's not his fault. I have total confidence that Mr. Mueller left no stone unturned to follow the evidence associated with his mandate from the Justice Department. I'm also positive that he farmed out a shitload of associated criminal findings to other jurisdictions where those crimes will be fully investigated.

I think our expectations sometimes rush directly to the end of the spectrum where the greatest punishment for any right-wing miscreant lies. Some of us put all of our eggs in the Mueller basket, and it's always a mistake to put all of your eggs in one basket. There are several other baskets full of criminal eggs that have yet to be hatched. Be patient. This is not finished yet, by any stretch of the imagination. My two cents, for what it's worth.

I'm extremely grateful to Mr. Mueller, and to all of his associates involved in this investigation, for their efforts in investigating to what extent Russia interfered in the 2016 election, and whether TrumpCo. broke the law in any way during the run-up to, and during the 2016 presidential election. Thank you all for your service to our country.
