WHENEVER Mr. Mueller files his report, I want to read it. I won't accept a "summary" or a

press release characterizing what someone thinks I'm entitled to hear. I am a citizen of the United States of America, for cryin' out loud! We Americans are supposed to have "government of the people, by the people and for the people". Do we or don't we?

When Bill Clinton was impeached, the Starr report---all 5 volumes; all 2000 pages---was released to be read, discussed, criticized and absorbed BY THE PEOPLE WHO PAID FOR IT! We should accept nothing less now and should be prepared to raise holy hell if Mueller's report is withheld.

havent seen MSNBC for 10 days. From listening to CNN my impression is Trump is going to be cleared of everything about Russia. Does it appear that way?

that we are going to be very disappointed in the eventual outcome of the Mueller report. Facts will come out that leave us tantalizing close to proving trumps complicity with the russians, but the ends of the strings will just not come together to form a knot. We will “know” what happened but the proof will be covered with so many layers it will be impossible to definitively link trump to it.

The republicans have been employing dirty tactics for so long we take it as business as usual. It’s not just trump, I think they used him to hoping to get everything they ever wanted for their form of “government”. The plan backfired on them, trump got too crazy and uncontrollable now they’re stuck with him, without a plan on what to do with him.

The Mueller report may uncover so much corruption in our government that if the general population knew the entire extent of the governments wrongdoing, faith in the government would collapse and who knows what would happen after that. Nothing good.

So, we will never find out everything, we honestly would not be able to handle to the the truth.

The report will make it very clear that there was collusion, but the smoking gun if you will, won’t be there because there’s so much junk in the way. It’ll basically prove it happened 99 percent...but that last, tiny bit to make it 100 percent just won’t be there.
