Do you believe that Robert Mueller is both smart and a patriot?

[flotsam]

Because if I were, then nothing gets released until I can tie every republican who I suspect of treason-even if only looking the other way into a criminal conspiracy to make sure that a caretaker president is not a Russian stooge. No way Ryan or McConnell get near the controls of the country. Orrin Hatch is an superannuated fool but at least an actual American.That is my bet about where we are heading...

1. That is why this will take a long time

[Liberty Belle]

2. He will want to nail everyone, in any party, involved in this treason.

[pangaia]

3. How do we know Hatch isn't a Russian hack as well?

[MedusaX]

4. Yes...but part of the strategy to take them all could be to utilize a 2 phase take down.

Phase 1 - remove the wedges that are preventing the implosion (PR, MMc, MP)

Phase 2 - watch the implosion and then sweep up all of the rubble and dispose of properly.

5. Meuller is not some dictator. He is an investigator and prosecutor.

What crimes are you saying Ryan or McConnell would conceivably be charged with?

[denbot]

6. They were told of collusion last August.

Since then they both have run cover. When a congressman stated that he thought Trump and a fellow congressman were on Putin's payroll, Speaker Ryan swore everyone there to secrecy over what was just said..

Yeah, you're right, nothing to see here.

[BzaDem]

9. Yeah, but are you claiming that knowledge of another's collusion is a crime?

It is certainly morally repugnant to be aware of such an act by the president and not take action. But I have not heard anyone claim that inaction in the face of such knowledge is a crime, let alone something Meuller could go after.

7. from what I understand

I would say Mr. Mueller does have integrity.

[chillfactor]

8. Mr Muller is the best man for the job he has been handed..

let's hope and pray he is allowed to complete his investigations.

10. I have no doubt that Mueller is a competent investigator and prosecutor,

but I still don't see a scenario where anyone in the administration is prosecuted. Donald can only be impeached by Congress, which will never happen. And he can simply pardon everyone else.

I just don't understand why people appear to be waiting with bated breath for Mueller to announce his finding. Assuming they aren't just classified ahead of time.

And let's not forget that Donald could order Rosenstein to fire Mueller in his next tweet.
