It's amazing to me that there are people out there who don't think they're Russian shills.

That particular tweet is hilarious just because they're trying to paint Mueller as some sort of Russian stooge (I think? No idea) because he delivered a 'sample' to the Russians...which I presume was stolen from somewhere and the FBI wanted the Russians to identify the source.

 

[Jams775]

Yes, since Wikileaks is a Russia propaganda arm, this means we are getting close with this appointment.

Fantastic news.

I don't know what they think they can accomplish with this, it's not like Trump can fire him.

 

[Reverend Funk]

I thought it said Mulder for a second

 

[flkraven]

I just read that Mueller is allowed to form his own team and can't be fired from Prez. Any chances he hires Comey?

 

[Felix Lighter]

Trump is in every conceivable way more idiotic than Nixon. This whole thing is going to end much more terribly for him.

Nixon was involved in attacking the Democratic Party. Trump looks to be involved in a foreign country attacking the United States of America. It better end much more terrible for him.

 

[rec0ded1]

Have the courage to post on your real account.

I trolled this board for 8 months pretending to be a rapid Trump supporter.

*Record scratch*

 

[DietRob]

L OOOOOOO LLLLLLL @ that Wikileaks tweet..

A nerve has been hit!

 

[Clydefrog]

I feel like this won't be as good as it sounds
... but I pray that it will be great.

Props to Rod Rosenstein. In Rod we trust.

How come I thought the FBI already had his tax returns? Guess I mis-read.

They might. We have no way of knowing without them telling someone.

 

[Einchy]

Hahahahahaha.

As if they could be any more transparent.

Shit's pathetic.

 

[serenewarfare]

CNN speaking truth.

Don't panic or worry if this goes quiet. Mueller wants to run a tight ship, so there might not be any leaks of how things are going and who is testifying. Just let it play out.

 

[Felix Lighter]

I just read that Mueller is allowed to form his own team and can't be fired from Prez. Any chances he hires Comey?

Comey's a witness at this point.

 

[CHC]

So, if it's discovered there's direct collusion between Trump and Russia, does an impeachment process still must happen or with treason on the books, is he just taken down?

I mean honestly "treason" hasn't really been invoked since, at best, like the Cold War Era. I really can't imagine actually getting tried for treason at this point unless there were government agents explicitly giving secrets to absolutely certain enemies like ISIS.

Best case scenario Trump is forced to resign because of some inevitable onslaught of complicated charges, and then slowly has his businesses dismantled over the course of the rest of his life.

Nothing is cut and dry with major cases like this. I have a friend who is working on the Lance Armstrong doping case and they're still in the thick of it, this many years later. He'll be fucked by the end of it, but these kinds of assholes never make it easy. They lose, but they drag it out.

 

[Amir0x]

Wait, what.

That's the only excuse left for someone who supported Trump. It was all a big troll, trust me guys!

 

[Nafai1123]

I just read that Mueller is allowed to form his own team and can't be fired from Prez. Any chances he hires Comey?

Don't think it's possible since he's likely to be a witness.

 

[FZZ]

honestly I thought trump would get away with pretty much everything.

i guess all this brouhaha could potentially be for show, but hey, maybe this is the beginning of the end for cheetohturd! So long trump!

hello president pence!

...

oh god.

Feel like with how infested this administration is

If trump goes down so does Pence

 

[teiresias]

It sounds like Rosenstein has put forth a matter of protections for Mueller. He cannot be fired by the President, or anyone else. Mueller is entirely on his own on this investigation.

Wouldn't it be something if Trump just resigned?

Trump's only protection from actual prosecution is him being President. He wont' go anywhere unless he's removed.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

So Trump is Vader, Comey is Obi-Wan. Mueller is Luke? Trump is Mueller's father?

Trump's probably nobody's father. Likely he's the Robert Baratheon of this story.

This is true. Mueller is an extremely anal retentive tight ass. And that's why he's PERFECT for this.

Wikileaks could star in a Windex bird commercial at this point.

Wait, this is confusing.

1) Wikileaks support Russia

2) No doubt they're trying to mess with the investigation so that people don't find about Trump's relationship to Russia

2) But they're doing this, by arguing that Mueller can't be trusted because he...worked with Russia?

 

[Kaako]

We can only hope. This would be the best possible outcome.

 

[Isaac Otherworld]

Yeah, but Obi-wan lost, tho...

This is such a Trump way to view that fight.

 

[louiedog]

Melania was right not to pack up her shit from Trump Tower. No one wants to move twice in one year.

 

[Zolo]

It sounds like Rosenstein has put forth a matter of protections for Mueller. He cannot be fired by the President, or anyone else. Mueller is entirely on his own on this investigation.

Wouldn't it be something if Trump just resigned?

Can he do that? I thought he could still be fired by Rosenstein or anyone who replaces him.

 

[TheCochese]

Wait, this is confusing.

1) Wikileaks support Russia

2) No doubt they're trying to mess with the investigation so that people don't find about Trump's relationship to Russia

When you think you're playing 8th dimensional chess but the box says Connect Four.

 

[Ambient80]

And if the tape of Ryan telling GOP members not to say anything about Russia payments actually exists, he'd be gone too (next in succession).

It's almost as if they have nothing and just searched what they had for "mueller + russia" and this is the best they could come up with - him doing his job.

 

[giga]

[Metalingus5150]

Bet that wiki leaks bullshit is gonna be peddled a lot.

 

[nintendoman58]

Still makes me laugh. :lol

Damn this classic GAF meme is still great!

GAF ily so much

Jesus this is an old one! Still great

FTFY

Also, amazing meme stays amazing.

Thank you for this.

I was honestly baffled searching the Comey thread how it didn't show up in the search, haha.

 

[Lord Frieza]

I think a lean John Goodman could pull off this role, at least esthetically. Something about the shape of his face seems similar.

Are we sure they're not the same person, just put some more gray in Goodman's hair there and I'd swear they were twins.

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

Locker room talk.

 

[Trakdown]

Jesus christ.

 

[BrutishMrFish]

That's the only excuse left for someone who supported Trump. It was all a big troll, trust me guys!

IIRC he posted his ballot to show that he actually voted for Hillary.

The junioring was well deserved regardless.

 

[mjp2417]

Yep

 

[TestOfTide]

That's the only excuse left for someone who supported Trump. It was all a big troll, trust me guys!

Except Team Alucard is telling the truth.

 

[Hitman]

Thank GOD Wikileaks has started a disinformation campaign on Mueller. Makes me feel alot better about his appointment.

 

[kris.]

this former FBI guy on CNN is singing Mueller's praises right now and it's gettin me all giddy

this shit is actually happening hahahaha

 

[KernelPanic]

They're just creating FUD. Russia's main goal is undermining everyone's trust in government and institutions.

Not even breaking the law can keep Member status.

 

[BFIB]

Can he do that? I thought he could still be fired by Rosenstein or anyone who replaces him.

Unless I heard wrong? I was listening to CNN and cooking dinner, could have sworn I heard someone state that Mueller cannot be fired by Trump, or his replacement at the FBI, and not Sessions since he recused himself.

Toobin now stating that Mueller runs a very "tight ship" and that things will likely go quiet for a while.

 

[mightynine]

they shook

Tucker's reaction when they cancelled:

"Wait, why doesn't she want to talk about Tim Allen and Penn Station restrooms anymore?"

 

[Pattycakes]

So this is going to be the last bit of news we have about this for like a year or two isn't it? :|

They know Russia can take it.

It's like Trump shitting on Goldman Sachs for the entire election and then filling his cabinet with GS executives. They know people hate them so why not use that?

 

[JetBlackPanda]

So are we the right last year waiting for Comey to prosecute Hillary and the they will come out and say they have business ties etc but no crimes were committed and leave it at that.

I'm still shook guys

I don't like seeing the GOP taking a sigh of relief

 

[BlackGhost]

Jesus christ.

Seriously, this is just like the simmsons gifs
