Wow! Anyone else hear what Malcolm Nance had to say on 'the last word'?

He essentially said Don, Jr. should have been indicted and the Trump campaign conspired with Russia attacking on the U. S.
to win the election. Fuck this is tantamount to treason! Fuck the need to be in a declared war; that's obsolete.

trump and his kid off the hook for the Tower meeting, trump would have been Impeached by now. At a minimum, trump Jr. would be up on charges.

times here, when something was brought up...people would say, "Oh no worries, guaranteed, Mueller looking at that! ". He was only looking at a sliver. Can't believe he had a mighty slew of the best prosecutors in the land.

Our best bet would be to look for a whistle blower among them.

But it seems like not much of this trail was followed up during Mueller's appearance. He wasn't grilled about it at all. Democrats wanted to play the "good cop" and be nice to the Special Prosecutor. Republicans had no interest in finding the truth...along with Mueller, who looked like he just desperately wanted out of the room. He looked guilty as hell. And he should have. He knowingly allowed a criminal President and his criminal son to get away with their crimes by muddling everything purposely because if he had just done his job, following fact A to fact B, he'd have to indict a sitting President, A Republican sitting president. No way he was going to go down in history backstabbing his own party like that. It was ultimately human weakness that denied all of us justice.

They should have had an experienced trial attorney questioning Mueller. (He probably wouldn’t have answered, but still. Better than their round robin questioning.)

ordered Mueller to end it. Of course that traitorous fuck trump jr. should've been indicted. Mueller should've seen to that but unfortunately, as we saw when he finally testified before Congress, he was no longer the on-top-of-everything-button-down guy we all had put so much faith in.

If these traitors get away with this, the country will never get back the world's respect it's lost during this chaotic reign of trump.

Barr shut down the conspiracy investigation.

Up to Congress to complete it.
