That's right!  Stick with the good people on Fox News.



Oh no!  Not you too!!!

I think I might know what's going on.  I don't mean to alarm everyone. But there's this book.  And it's cursed.  Conservators that read it and fail their saving throw are suddenly under the believe that Trump is a criminal.

Whatever you do run far away from the Mueller report!

Did you actually read my post?

Had a few crouton? It's ok if you have, we have all been there (myself more than a few times)

I am high on life!

And also a blend of Ambien, niquil and alcohol.

But also life!

But seriously.  Anyone who has read it and doesn't think the president needs to be impeached immediately.  I just don't know what to think of those people.

You joke but there's some truth to that. Normally we'd be able to trust that these redactions were made in good faith. The problem is that Barr flat out lied to people with his summary of the report. So it's just silly to give him the benefit of the doubt with these redactions.

You mean the report that he claimed totally exonerated him?   Why would that start a witch hunt?

Whether Barr lied or not is irrelevant.  The investigation was supposed to be about Russia collusion, and there was none.  Now the Dems are trying to save face by looking for whatever else they might find.  It is a sad day for the DNC.  I hope that Bernie or Biden or Pocahontas Warren gets the primary.  It will be hilarious to watch them get their ass spanked.

I would highly recommend reading the report.  It's around 400 pages.  However if you're in a hurry then you can read the summary at the beginning of each section. 

It is definitely worth your time.

Certainly.

There are two parts to this report.  Volume 1 deals with Russian intelligence operations against the United States and any culpability that Trump's team has regarding that.
First off 'collusion' in a legal sense is a meaningless word.  Mueller points that out.  He was instead looking for conspiracy, an explicit quid pro quo arrangement with the Russians for help getting elected.  And he in fact found that.  Just not enough to guarantee a victory in a criminal trial.

Volume 2 addresses the question, did Trump obstruct justice.  Spoiler alert, yes.  A lot. A ridiculous amount actually.  There's so much iron clad evidence against Trump here that even Fox News thinks he obstructed Justice.

So, a party which on many issues is consistently to the right of voters already has to go even further to the right? What sense does this make? Why even vote for the dems instead of the republicans if they do that? Is it just optics?

Crouton, don't turn into rayzor...you always seemed like you tried to be a moderate and listen to reason. Not a total looney sheep.

You said you weren't sure if he committed a crime with obstruction since it never actually happened even though he did ask for it, and it would have happened if people listened to him.

However, there is no law to convict him of.

As for collusion, where is there any proof of that?

I don't know what to tell you other than read the report. The more I look at it the more damming it is.

Rayzor brought up the chapter and verse where it says that a clear attempt to obstruct justice is a serious crime.

People who disagree with you on politics aren't turning into Rayzor.  You can't expect people who have read the report to unsee it.

Also, "there is no law to convict him of" doesn't make any sense. Mueller wasn't trying to convict Trump of anything. Mueller was investigating, the report is his findings. It is up to Congress to start impeachment proceedings or not. The House would have to begin the process then the Senate would basically put Trump on trial and decide on whether to impeach or acquit. So even if the impeachment process went ahead, it wouldn't mean the president would be found guilty of anything. Nixon resigned before the impeachment process was finished. Clinton was acquitted. Who knows what Trump would do!

I don't know how anyone can read the report and not come away knowing that Trump has no business being the president. Or even get mad at people who object to Trump's bullshit.

I'm sorry. Am I to understand that when you have a boner you like to imagine punching the shit out of Tom Bishop? That's disgusting.

I didn't say he was acting like rayzor because of him talking about the report fyi.

Also, his crimes are small compared to most recent presidents, telling someone to say something is all they have on him. Which they didnt even do.

I don't mind Trump because he is not the sharpest tool, his actions are easy to predict. He wants to be respected and loved, plus stroke his ego. That makes him very easy to predict. Nothing he had done that jumps to mind has surprised me.

I would rather have dumb bad than smart bad... Obama, very smart but a snake. Bush sr, smart snake, Clinton smart snake, Bush jr...snake but dumb as dirt.

Simply our entire system is fully corrupt, and I would rather have a predictable snake than one that stabs me while not looking.
