The news that Trump is waiting for...

"A new poll shows that the majority of Americans believe Bob Mueller is conducting a witchhunt."

Once he has won the PR war, then he can begin to clean house. He can begin the process of ending the investigation. He can put his own people in at the FBI. He can find someone to fire Mueller. He can declare the investigation over.

But first, he has to win his PR battle.

He has made great progress in recruiting Republicans to do his dirty work. They don't seem to care whether or not anything illegal or unconstitutional happened, so long as they can successfully defend their Party.

That is the bottom line of the Mueller investigation.

Justice must win this war.

1. When the Orwellian Trumpistas say there's an FBI coup, they know Mueller knows about their coup.

I'm thinking absolutely certain proof of "illegitimate election" is forthcoming. Trump is trying to prop up his coup.

When you say people though, remember that you are talking about around 27% of the electorate. You are talking about 80k-100k people across 3 states where you can make a strong case for cheating. You are talking about the leadership of a party that is completely dependent upon wealthy donors because they really do not have the policies or the ideology to govern effectively.

That may not seem like consolation as they hold the 3 branches of government and are destroying the social contract, but what it means is that we have to try to mobilize the big majority of people who either voted for Hillary or didn't vote, to get active.

5. I don't think the Mueller picture on the left is actually him.

There have been several posts on this picture on DU and I believe it's been debunked by snopes.com.

I would not want to be on the side that was trashing his Constitution.

Those medals were not given to him because he always wanted one, no, not at all.

14. But the republicans and russians are trashing him, and the other Veterans

in our US Intelligence Agencies, relentlessly. The republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief, in particular, has been heinous in his ongoing attacks against our US troops who have been POWs, our troops in the field, and the numerous distinguished veterans who serve in the FBI, and America's other Intelligence Agencies.

The KGOP republicans, Fox news, and the russians moles and trolls are constantly at work trying to undermine and weaken America. It's disgusting.

I stand with the honorable men and women who serve in our 17 American Intelligence Agenies. I believe them. republican Comrade Casino, and his KGOP republican cronies, on the other hand, have not given me as much as a crumb of a reason to trust anything that they say or do.

An innocent person would never act in such a way. even one-brain-celled Republicans should be able to see that.
