A HERETIC I AM

I think the reason the Mueller investigation is taking so long...

Is because every day an attorney on his team walks into his office and says;

“Boss, you’re gonna want to see this”

“Is this true? Did he actually do that?”

“It appears so”

“OK. Run it to ground, draw up the indictment and put on the stack with the others “

The stack now takes up a whole room

Ok... I clearly have to add that I’m being a bit tongue in cheek.

say when complete is really complete.

It would not surprise me at all that once Trump is inevitably voted out, removed or resigns due to Mueller, there will still be ongoing investigations related to things discovered during the Mueller investigation. State, federal and international. These could take years and be run by any number of investigators in any number of countries.


My growing concern is that once the big boy oligarchs, royal families and real crime lords are involved, pressure to disrupt things worldwide could occur. Where that starts....who knows?

Trump has been able to get away with so much shit for so long that now that he is being truly investigated, the revelations are, as I joke in my OP, a daily occurrence.

He has been laundering money for the Russians for decades and likely the Saudis too

This investigation has probably shown the Russians have tried to influence half the Republican Party and could, as an earlier post suggests, show illegal activity on a dozen or so sitting senators.

I’m betting they have found Eric, Don Jr, Ivanka and Jerrod all complicit in various crimes Trump has committed.

I honestly think that there have been conversations in the Mueller team similar to what I said in my OP

The most corrupt administration in history, bar none. This will make Nixon look like child’s play

It’s actually moving pretty darn fast, for a federal investigation of this scope.

in a second. Every day we delay with trump, is hurting a lot of people.

A preliminary report on trump -- who is obviously a criminal -- should have been submitted long ago. Mueller doesn't have to have everything tied up to release a preliminary report.

I don't think that is a right wing talking point, although apparently some do.

Look at the USAO PR webpage (at least the archived releases) and compare the time between offenses and related arrests/ indictments.
