Now if Chumpy shuts down the investigation, it will be completely obvious to everyone that he's protecting Russia.

(115,858 posts)the indictment carefully lays out the nature and extent of some of the Russians' actions with respect to the use of social media, and even more importantly, establishes the truth of Russian interference. And, of course, if either he or Rosenstein are now fired, the motive would be obvious, maybe even to some Republicans.

(36,926 posts)Also, let's see if Dump will stop breaking the law and impose those Russian sanctions... Let's see if he will now take steps to stop Russia from meddling in future elections... If he doesn't act now, then it should be clear to everyone that he is not working for the citizens of the United States of America, he's working for the Russian Federation. Brilliant move.
This indictment focuses on "unwitting" individuals BUT we also know, Don Jr knowingly/willingly met with Russians etc. The Russian bots may flood social media with fake glee today but I believe Dump and his crew are shitting their pants. This is the 1st shoe dropping.

programs explained to us viewers how mob, drug, criminal investigations proceed.
Comes in handy now I guess!
Behind the Aegis
(53,989 posts)I texted him soon as the indictments were announced. I speculated this could be Mueller playing chess with a "president" playing tic-tac-toe and he (Mueller) suspected a possible Saturday Night Massacre, and made a strategic move. Does this prove collusion? Of course not, but it DOES show what everyone already knew, the Russians are engaged in a low-fare war with the United States and the "president" and Republican-run Congress are doing NOTHING to prevent further attacks!
Edit to add...Oh look at the predictable response from this asshole:
