Evidently Trump couldn’t find anyone he could rely on to deep six the Mueller investigation who hadn’t already publicly called it a witch hunt?

He was trolled relentlessly last year.

[USALiberal]

3. He is a great man! nt

4. And for all you deplorables out there in trumpland USA,

a thesaurus is a book of a whole buncha words with similar meanings. You're welcome.

9. Funny story............

In my first or second year of teaching I had a principal that was as dumb as a rock (not all principals are - I ultimately became one!).
One day he walked into my room and saw a copy of a "Roget's Thesaurus" on my desk.
He pointed to it and asked, "What's a "Thes-is-er-us?" (yeah, that's kinda' how he said it).
I explained it to him and it was like teaching another one of my elementary students.
A month later was the staff/faculty Christmas party and on the table was a little book wrapped and labeled for the principal.
In it was one of those lovely "leather-bound" books with blank pages, you know, the kind people get for writing notes or using as a journal. On it was a label: "Principal's Thesaurus"

12. I'll bet he guessed who his Secret Santa was

Am I right? Good story, but it's hard to believe that someone with a master's degree didn't know what a thesaurus was.

20. Worse yet.....

he was working on his doctorate - and got it!

I agree - hard to believe - but I can assure you it was true!

6. I miss Al!

One of the brightest, if not the brightest, senators in congress. I'm still pissed off about the way he was treated.

7. If that Weiner dude (whose actions were far more despicable & proven) was allowed a comeback, why

not Al? What am I missing???????????

8. I love Al

So smart and incisive and funny.

[Hekate]

11. Miss you, Al

17. Al would make a mighty fine VP too.

Joe and Al would be great.

[Control-Z]

15. I miss him so much!

16. It's not an accident that Roger Stone et al. chose to target Al

He was their Senate MVP.

[LakeArenal]

18. And the Accusations stopped once pushed out.

[Control-Z]

19. Absolutely!!

Agree 100%.

I hope he decides to come back and run for the next open seat.

Of course, he has every right to never look back after the way he was treated. Who could blame him? Perhaps a draft Al movement would be a good way to kickstart him?

[Trumpocalypse]

21. He should run for Governor of Minnesota

Get some Executive cred!

[Control-Z]

23. I'd love to see him as governor!

22. Before Franken called Sessions out on his conflict of interest, Stone had argued for Sessions....

....to do a whitewash of the Trussia matter.

Franken changed that, Mueller was appointed, and as a result, Stone fell deeper and deeper into legal jeopardy.

I have no doubt Stone targeted Franken out of revenge.
