Whoopsie. Robert Mueller tweets back...



Six former Trump advisers, 26 Russian nationals, three Russian companies, one California man, and one London-based lawyer. Seven of these people (including five of the six former Trump advisers) have pleaded guilty.

All of these charges stem from our investigation.

(A guy decided to beat up his girlfriend near where my car was parked, I stopped him and called the police). The prosecutor used "pleaded" to describe some of the past outcomes of the scumbag (he was young, but well on his way to being a career criminal).

All the Americans involved were found guilty (or pleaded guilty, to use the current cant) to things other than conspiracy or collusion. False statements, for example. Or financial crimes.

There's no contradiction here, apart from what's assumed.

George Conway does not have one and is maybe the highest profile person I know that does not.

vigor to go toe to toe with the Dotard. What a huge disappointment especially seeing what Barr is doing to the DOJ and the great of the country. How Mueller can sit by and watch Trump and Barr potentially malign and indict career officials like McCabe, Strock, Yates and so many others is beyond me. Mueller better be careful or Barr will drag his ass in front of a grand jury and throw him in prison. That's what happens when good people quietly sit by and watch our country be destroyed by bad actors from within. You better believe Trump is nagging Barr, about when he is going to indict Obama and Biden.

Second, we've been hoping for Mueller to get trump for well over 2 years, and nothing panned out other than Obstruction, which was never going to bring trump down unless Mueller found evidence on colluding/cooperating/coordinating with the Ruskies. Mueller conveniently contorted his reasoning to let trump and his campaign off the hook over and over.

With that said, I hope to heck I'm wrong and will gladly eat crow dung in that case.

IMO, Ukraine shakedown and abuse of power is the bombshell that we need to press in Impeachment.
