This is leading newscasts this evening

[malaise]

As set forth in our report, after that investigation, if we had confidence that the President clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said that.

Truth will out. The lies have been exposed

[spanone]

1. Dems HAVE to impeach.

[malaise]

2. The public will be screaming LIAR in 3...2...1

Pieces are falling into place

[spanone]

3. Yep

[Harker]

59. That's for sure

but "liar" will be directed toward both Mueller AND Trumpsky.

[RKP5637]

5. Yep, it's up to the dems now. The republicans are gutless, deceitful and only interested in their

paychecks.

[guillaumeb]

4. Recommended.

Congress must make the next move.

And the voters must make the move in 2020.

[madinmaryland]

6. No. It will be a five minute segment about the tornadoes in white bread SW Ohio.

Followed by a very 75 second segment with trump claiming Yada yada yada. And a few seconds of actually reporting about what Mueller said. Cherry picked of course by the National nightly news shows.

[malaise]

8. The tornadoes were second in th headlines on ABC and CBS

NBC same

[madinmaryland]

15. I was stunned. The second story was about the vulnerability of the voting system

in the US and whatCalifornia is doing. Andy Stephenson was talking about this 15 years ago. They even mentioned the Manufacturer’s are a big part of the problem and the paper ballots must be required.

[CincyDem]

18. Hey now hon. You dissing SW Ohio from your perch in Maryland. lol

I get to say that after living in B'more for ages.

There's nothing wrong with SW Ohio that a good loaf of pumpernickel won't fix !!!

[madinmaryland]

22. Dude. I live in Sw Ohio

Kettering to be exact. Grew up in NW Ohio moved to the east coast for 30 years before coming back.

[elleng]

27. HEY mad! GOOD to see you!

[madinmaryland]

34. Hey Ellen! How's it going. I still haven't made it back to Maryland since we left.

[elleng]

35. Fine, daughter just moved 25 miles closer, so I get to sit for grandson tomorrow

while daughter sees her doctor! AND just spotted first osprey hatchling of the season! (That's MY life! Yours?)

[True Blue American]

47. Hi Neighbor!

Clayton here, 2 blocks from I 70 and lucky enough not to be in the path of the storm. Close though.

The Church is sending out Volunteers today to help.

No water yesterday. Englewood Fire House passed out drinking water and opened the hydrants.

Came back on this evening. The devestation is bad, but the hepl being poured in came from Republicans and Democrats. Americans, not party liners.

[True Blue American]

48. With a brat in the middle

Or some Skyline Chili!

[malaise]

19. That's great

Thanks for that

[elleng]

31. WOW!

[LakeArenal]

7. I'm screaming. But I don't feel Congress is.

I’m putting my faith in Dem leadership one more time. I hope they really do have a strategy and I hope it works.

I’m losing a bit of faith, but then I remember that is exactly what Repugnants want.

[malaise]

9. Never forget it took way longer to get Nixon

Justice is coming.

[LakeArenal]

14. That's the elephant in the room.

....Er.... White House

[watoos]

23. Mueller opened the door

[Hoyt]

10. Unfortunately, Obstruction was never likely to take trump down.

Not saying it shouldn’t.

We’ll see if Mueller saying today exactly what he said in his report 2 months earlier, helps Pelosi and Clyburn find the votes to initiate Impeachment.

[malaise]

11. That quotation is everywhere tonight - everywhere

Things are about to speed up

[mercuryblues]

53. I don't think impeachment will start until after the election

Before then I hope something big will drop on trump making him completely unelectable. If he get's re-elected and we gain control of the senate, he will be gone just days after inauguration.

If he loses we might find enough votes from republicans to impeach in Nov. Which will keep him from taking his revenge for losing.

Either way, his campaign is strategy is centered on keeping him from being impeached. Holding off on it will throw is campaign off balance.

[lpbk2713]

12. Queen Elizabeth should withdraw her invitation.

But she won't. She has too much class. And class is something Trump knows nothing about.

[malaise]

13. What I want to see is the abject ridicule that greets him in that farce

July 4 event.

Notice he hasn't been seen anywhere today - he's suddenly quiet as a mouse.
Do you think Barr is on his way back from Alaska? They sure were caught flatfooted

[lpbk2713]

16. Nor is there any word yet from Sanders or Conway as far as I know.

They're probably all still trying to put their heads together.

[malaise]

17. Sanders had a tweet and was screaming some rubbish

on camera earlier today

[DeminPennswoods]

20. It was reported that Mueller briefed Barr on what he was going to say

Although Mueller only advised the WH last night that he would be speaking today, I'm sure Barr relayed what he'd been told.

[malaise]

21. Thanks for this

I loved the short notice - caught them all unprepared

[warmfeet]

24. I love it when they are unprepared. This could be a nice strategy, moving forward. NT.

[malaise]

26. Agree

Today was good

[pazzyanne]

25. Mueller, as a former Marine, understands the need for strategic moves!

[malaise]

28. Pulled off a great one today

[pazzyanne]

32. Sure did!

[True Blue American]

49. Closed shop

Resigned, no notice to anyone.

[malaise]

51. Was a moment to be remembered

forever.

[True Blue American]

52. A True Republican Patriot

Among all the dregs of the Republican Party.

[SCVDem]

40. She should divert him

to Australia!

I love history.

[Iliyah]

29. That's pretty clear to me . . .

[watoos]

30. After Mueller spoke

I listened to Sirius for about 90 minutes, they were like sharks in bloody water pushing for impeachment.

[malaise]

33. Justice is coming

and coming soon

[CaliforniaPeggy]

36. And boy, is she pissed!

[malaise]

37. She should be

and not just in the US

[zanana1]

38. Impeachment wouldn't necessarily remove him from office, but......

He'd have to admit to his crimes. Remember what they did to Clinton?

[malaise]

39. He will lie to the grave

He's a pathological LIAR - he cannot help himself

[apkhgp]

41. You can fool some of the people some of the time

But you can not fool all of the people all of the time.

I do not know who said that first but Credits go out to them.

[lunatica]

44. Abraham Lincoln said it.

MAGATs are those people who can be fooled all of the time.

[PatrickforO]

42. Let's hope so. If the Dems begin televised hearings, it will educate

our fellow Americans about Trump's general crookedness and his many crimes. We have to get back to sanity.

[lunatica]

43. Everyone of the pundits and legal experts on MSNBC are saying

Mueller said Trump was guilty.

[malaise]

46. Well Mueller did say so

and it is as clear as day in the report

[GoneOffShore]

45. Let us hope that we're not whistling passed the graveyard of the United States.

[True Blue American]

50. Pelosi

Is getting the facts in order. Now the hearings will begin so people can hear them.

[JHB]

54. The trick will be to have it leading the newscasts EVERY day

Sustained exposure makes an impact. One day topping the news cycle does not.

Unfortunate but true. That's why Republicans treat investigations like potato chips: they can never have just one.

[malaise]

57. This will help - from your cartoon thread

[Grins]

55. If FDR was still around, he would use that sentence as our second "day of infamy" NM

If FDR was still around, he would use that sentence as our second "day of infamy"

[olegramps]

56. I am glad that he went that far...but

The wording seems like the work of a clever word smith. If I had my day, which I won't, I would ask Mueller just this: If Trump was not protected by this so-called policy, that by the way was not recognized by Starr in his investigation of Clinton and said that a sitting president could be indicted, would you have called for his indictment for obstruction. A simple yes or no response.

I am not in the least convinced that the Constitution in any manner provides for what I consider to be a self serving interpretation. In fact the Constitution clearly provides protection from indictment for sitting members of congress and is total silent in not providing the same protection for the president. It also states that a president could be held accountable after leaving office. I will admit that I am not an unquestioning fan of Mueller.

[malaise]

58. It will all come out soon and very soon

Barr's latest spin exposes both Carr and the Con

This is what matters and Barr cannot spin this - The Con was not exonerated - PERIOD

As set forth in our report, after that investigation, if we had confidence that the President clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said that.
