Trump's a crook. It's rather widely known and accepted, but 30% of the country seems to be OK with that.

I'm not. The history of special counsels like Mueller is that they find wide ranging criminality. In the Trump admin, I'd expect to find many criminals. Corruption starts at the top, the investigation starts at the bottom. You crumble the foundation and the whole edifice will fall.

They've always been ethnonationalist fascists, and always will be.

If the net result is that hardcore Tr*mp supporters stop believing in our political system, that's a fantastic outcome as it means they'll stop voting.

Fuck those people. They're our fellow citizens by accident, when in fact they're perpetually a hair's breadth from becoming our active enemies.

is how okay they are with continuing to support 45 if he is proven to be a criminal. Heavens profend... the will of the people ... all 33%of them...to keep a ctiminal in the White House, is subverted.

CNN: Mueller's investigation of Trump is going too far

Like many organizations they run opinion pieces from diff political perspectives in some (misguided?) effort to appear balanced.

The Clinton investigation started with the possible impropriety of a real estate deal.

It ended with lying about a blow-job

They can kiss my ass.

That is all

Trump's financial dealings (money laundering, bail outs, etc) it is a meaningless argument.

I suspect the GOP operative author is fully aware of how bogus his argument is. Goal is to discredit Mueller and protect Trump.

With no guarantees. I think the Trumpsters are having a bit of wait anxiety,because they are sounding stupider than usual

Republicans spent years trying to nullify Bill Clinton and Barack Obama's elections by mindless and baseless investigations and "fishing expeditions". That's not what Mueller appears to be doing here, however, and it's hard to believe that anybody would seriously suggest that law enforcement should just be able to "look the other way" if they have suspicion of criminal activity but then again, Republicans usually say six incredible things before breakfast, so........

Suppose he neglected to pay several million dollars. Would 1/3 of tax paying Americans be willing to overlook that? I sure as hell hope not! Bill Clinton's pseudo perjury got everyone riled up. How much worse would tax evasion be?

Furthermore, we already have Don Jr colluding. That is a fact. What astounds me is that people like this author can ignore the evidence that has already surfaced and continue holding onto the narrative that tRump didn't do anything wrong, that it's all a Dem (or deep state) plot to undermine him.

and then tell him to STFU
