A frightening thought regarding Mueller.

[OneBro]

Imagine what would have happened if someone lacking Mueller's ethical and moral fortitude had been appointed? Someone like Judge Kenneth Starr, for example, would have closed his investigation in a matter of weeks, and the republican traitors would yet again have gotten away with a host of crimes.

Yes, America was THAT close to Putin's republican supporters getting a cake walk instead of a perp walk.

I know it ain't over, but at least Mueller is taking his oath of office seriously, and his investigation will hopefully make those criminals think twice in the future before selling America out for a few gold coins.

1. Hopefully "those criminals" won't have anymore chances to sell out America.

4. If the 2018 and 2020 elections aren't safeguarded against similar attacks, . . .

. . . they'll certainly go for a repeat.

2. Trump will fire sessions, then appoint a lackey to impede the

Investigation and then file the mueller report without ever being seen by Americans. This IS his plan.

[OneBro]

3. I suspect and hope Mueller's team has a contingency plan for such an event.

Welcome to DU

17. Thanks, 2naSalit.

I took a break for a while then returned after a bit of travel abroad. I visit DU often to catch news I don't get elsewhere, but I'm more likely taking the battle to the Q-Anon crowd in the comment section of right-of-center sites like DailyMail. It used to be mostly right-winger comments but I'm seeing a lot more counter-punches to their b.s. these days.

Thanks again!

13. I hope so! Otherwise, I feel despair. nt

5. Malcolm Nance said very confidently that

Mueller and the people on his team are prepared for tRump to do this. Not only is their info secured but it is backed up and saved a zillion different ways. He also said that if it is tossed out or hidden we can expect a palette full of all the documents to land in front of the NY Times. Mueller hired patriots with morals and brains. We may have to wait longer for justice, but it will come eventually.

[2naSalit]

7. Cool.

I've tried to catch as much of his public speaking as I can.

[BigmanPigman]

9. He told this to Bill Maher a couple of weeks ago.

I always believe Nance in these matters since he knows this stuff well.

[2naSalit]

10. Yes, I saw that

watched it twice. I also saw that hour and forty minute distinguished speaker event he did a couple days later, that was amazing and horrifying and real. He was visibly trying not to get emotional at a couple points and that was hard to watch as well. He's as concerned about this election as we are and he said so many times during the presentation.

[BigmanPigman]

14. Everyone in politics and intel

is terrified of what will happen if we don't win the election. That IS scary.

[OneBro]

20. Just the thought of losing the next election makes me work harder . . .

. . . to make damned sure I did my part to make sure we win.

[BigmanPigman]

25. I just wrote out postcards today to get people to vote.

The ACLU is just one of many places that needs volunteers. Pelosi was just on PBS and said, "Do anything you can: postcards, knock on doors, phone banks, etc. I am personally making sure my neighbor, who takes medication and is "out of it" a lot, gets her ballot mailed or I will take her to the polls myself. I even talked to three people at my dentists about the importance of their votes. Do anything that works for you since it all helps.

[2naSalit]

21. Sure is...nt

22. Glad I saw this post 2naSalit.

I haven’t seen the second Nance talk you referred to above. Just found it on YouTube. Bookmarked it for tomorrow. Thanks!

[mucifer]

11. yeah he'd be fired LONG ago if that wan't the case

[OneBro]

18. I try not to put "faith" in any particular individual, . . .

. . . but Mueller is making a believer out of me day-by-day.

[onecaliberal]

23. Well that makes me feel a lot better.

8. On the bright side, SHITLER is a total f**k & destined to f**k himself up one way or another.

[2naSalit]

12. Ya know

he's scammed everybody all the way to the top without consequence. And now that the whole world realizes he's scammed them and are pissed off about it, there's no place for his orange ass to hide. I'll bet rubles that pootie won't have him when he's kicked out of office. He's going to die in prison, and I hope his criminal family spend a bigly amount of time there too.

19. I think that totally explains Trump and the Manaforts of the world.

They have gotten away with their crimes as a matter of course. Look at how Pam Bondi dropped her office's investigation of Trump University after he made an illegal donation to her campaign. Ditto for Guiliani who dropped his investigation into Trump money laundering after trump raised money for Guiliani's campaign. That's part of the reason Trump is so outraged that Mueller won't let go. Trump has been convinced that he is truly above the law because that's how he has been treated it he past.

[rainin]

26. Wouldn't it be great if Pam Bondi gets another look?

Mueller is taking the evidence wherever it leads.

[Sugarcoated]

15. Yep

The hate he has for everything and everyone that compels him to destroy and harm, ironically, harms him. The self hate he feels must be a living nightmare.

[ecstatic]

24. That's exactly what would have happened had trump not

alienated and disrespected so many people in the FBI. He's his own worst enemy (thankfully).

[Squinch]

27. Kick. I have often thought this. We are not out of the woods, but let us now praise decent people.
