there is joy in sucking dick
I just hope the investigation doesnt go dark. The whole reason we're here is due to the outrage fires being stoked constantly.

I'm pretty sure there was a story earlier in the month that Trump has already sought lawyers for Russia claims

They're probably distracting him with snacks as we speak.
His certified letter? Yeah that was last week.
Also did we ever learn why the certified letter's date was from March?

Eat your heart out, Hollywood.
I'm pretty sure Mueller helped out Comey back in the day. I think he protected Comey from getting removed from the hospital room to stop Gonzales.

There's a video testimony from Comey where I think he mentions that he called Mueller on the rush to the Hospital where Mueller made sure Comey wasn't forced to leave.

"why did i get three scoops? what happened?"
You're right. His statement would be several paragraphs of word salad.
Perfect.

If he's impeached, great. But if not, I've got my chair and popcorn ready for a second round of epic meltdowns.
There's like zero chance those aren't getting subpoenaed. These investigations have a fuckton of latitude.
WaPo and Times will keep it up, and through Trumps own chatoic behavious, he expedites everything. The more outrageous shit he does the more leaks happen and people protest. There isnt a choice but to end it quick. All late night TV is basically a giant GOP joke right now of insanity. People have already given up on the country thinking the law no longer matters. Thats real bad for any country.

CNN says Trump might take Mueller to court if he tries to get them to try and prevent them from getting out. He'd probably lose.
Clinton did the same thing when he was being investigated and the investigators wanted Secret Service records. They got them.

Anything to get Trump out of office as fast as possible is fine with me. Although I also want them to be sure they find everything they can and connect as many of the corrupt politicians they can to Russia so they can purge as many as possible from government. It's also probably a pipedream, but if the investigation did end up taking until the end of next year, and momentum against the GOP continues there could be a democratic president in the succession line as the speaker of the house. That said, the biggest matter is making sure it is an independent and thorough investigation and Mueller sounds like one of the best choices to make sure that is what happens, regardless of what the outcome is.

The entertainment level of all this goes up 100% when you watch the_donald and /pol/ go into meltdown mode spamming the Seth Rich conspiracy as much as possible.

Anyone who seriously thinks Mueller isn't going to do his job because of a conflict of interest should real this profile on how he re-built the FBI after 9/11. How do you think Mueller feels about the President wanting a FBI director to pledge loyalty to him and then fires him to obstruct an investigation?

Is it happening? I think we're at a 9.5 on the happening scale

Boom! Bitch-slapped!
Trump played himself SO BAD firing Comey. It's totally a let's do it and be legends moment.
The only way it concludes quickly is if you resign or your cabinet pulls the 25th Amendment on you.

If McConnel is FOR the appointment of FBI director Mueller than I view his appointment as suspect. Of course, McConnel might just be putting that out for PR. From what I'm reading Rosenstein can be trusted, but with Trump in office, who really knows.
Sorry if this was posted already but I'm laughing so hard.

Hell, this is the administration that didn't realize the backlash they would receive upon giving Comey the axe. I wouldn't put it past them to do something so utterly stupid.

Considering its a done deal McConnel, like Trump, and Spicer soon enough, has to present it as a positive development.
If we can't trust this guy to do the job I don't think we can trust anyone. McConnel talking shit about Mueller would have looked really bad.

I mean it sounds huge but as a spectator with very limited understanding on US politics I'm still on wait and see mode. This isn't the first time people over here has been hyping this shit up.

Trump is literally a final boss who is too stupid to realize every time he attacks like that his big glowing weak point is exposed.
Hopefully that's all it is.
Pretty much.

Did you miss the video earlier of McConnell running off, head down, refusing to comment when he was asked?
