Just a friendly reminder: Robert Mueller is not your trained monkey.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

He's got his own timetable and he's going to work accordingly.

So far he's nabbed the former Trump campaign manager and an associate, and flipped two individuals associated with Donald Trump, including his former National Security Advisor.

He's not blowing smoke.

There will be more indictments. With the information that Flynn has likely provided him, this will become a family matter for Donald Trump very soon.

But he's going to work on his own terms. So let him work.

1. It is so sad that people fall for the clickbait. Something's gonna happen today! Click Here!

Watch this spot!

[Kirk Lover]

2. It wasn't just click bait. Reputable people were saying that. What is the problem with

saying that? Being told that Mueller is on his own time table is unnecessary...like DUH.

[Me.]

5. Quite

[Kaleva]

7. What reputable sources were saying that?

[Hortensis]

52. None, of course. Mueller just doesn't leak accidentally.

And when he leaks tactically it's to people he trusts to get it out discretely and effectively. Not Twitter flimflammers.

[FSogol]

11. I doubt we agree on "reputable people." I discount Twitter Stars, Anyonmous Social Media Gadflys,

and radio hosts with financial ties to RT.

[shanny]

39. I thought the radio hosts with financial ties to RT were pro-Trump?

so why would they be bleating about imminent indictments? It's so hard to keep up.

[FSogol]

40. Nope, many of them are supposedly far left. Cenk of the Young Turks for example. n/t

[shanny]

42. oh yeah: the "far left" fookin' commies!

[FSogol]

43. Did I say that?

[shanny]

44. I don't know, did you?

I am knee-jerk suspicious of the phrase "far left" since all too often it seems to mean, "someone further left than I am."

[Vidal]

28. I agree with you

we didn't need this post at all.

[snooper2]

45. you have failed to respond to post #7

[LanternWaste]

14. I fell for it the day prior to Mueller indicted Flynn and Manafort.

I fell for it the day prior to Mueller indicted Flynn and Manafort.

The important thing is we keep mocking other people to feel better about our own inadequacies, regardless of what spots we click.

[FSogol]

16. Mocking? I said I feel sad for them. n/t

[LanternWaste]

18. Bless your heart.

Bless your heart.

[snooper2]

46. Dilly Dilly!

Dilly Dilly?

[Kirk Lover]

27. Same thing....save your I feel sad for them over something that's actually worth

feeling sad about. Give me a break ! What's sad is that you 'care' about this that much where you need to start a thread about it...so I feel sad for you.

[cwydro]

20. I know.

These breathless posts...who will it be?!

It’s this one! No! It’s that one!

[Maeve]

3. You can't blame people for wanting more

We need patience--NOW!!!

Muellertime is drawing near,
Time for joy and time for cheer;
We've been good, but we can't last--
Hurry, Mueller, hurry fast!
Want indictments every day,
Want the tRumsters hauled away!
We can hardly stand the wait,
Please, Mueller, don't be late!

[Tommy_Carcetti]

4. I don't blame them at all.

And something might happen today.

But it might not.

Just saying if nothing happens today, it doesn't mean nothing's going to happen soon down the line.

[Maeve]

6. I agree--but those lyrics had been forming

and it was time to get them written!

[Tommy_Carcetti]

8. And sung by tree-dwelling rodents. nt

[MFM008]

37. It will happen

Just not as fast as most of us want.

[Kirk Lover]

30. And ya know what...it just felt good seeing and hearing JARED is tomorrow....

teee heeee made me giddy true or not because I believe that one day, maybe not today or tomorrow but it's a gonna happen. WE ALL KNOW THIS!!!!!! YAAAAY.

[bluestarone]

9. sometimes just the fact we're

talking about it helps people make it thru there day!! So what's the problem? people (including me) just like reading and dreaming ok?

[AJT]

10. If things don't happen soon he will be shut down before anything comes of the investigation.

[orangecrush]

12. K&R

It is a counterintel investigation now.

It is the gift that keeps on giving.

And Trump can not shut it down.

[Generic Other]

13. Can you expand?

What exactly makes this investigation beyond Trump's power to interfere? I am nervous every day. Need someone to calm me down!

[orangecrush]

47. a counterintelligence investigation

would mean the military and spy agencies are involved, and what we are seeing is the tip of the iceberg.

These would continue to run even if Trump is able to shut down the public aspect.

[orangecrush]

48. here

this operation went on for 40 years, resulted in multiple indictments regardless of who was in the White House.

And if they know for a fact Trump is involved, they WILL bring him down.

50. read this and ponder...

from the wiki link...


"Although unknown to the public, and even to Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman, these programs were of importance concerning crucial events of the early Cold War. These included the Julius and Ethel Rosenberg spying case and the defections of Donald Maclean and Guy Burgess to the Soviet Union.

unknown EVEN TO THE PRESIDENTS....

[Generic Other]

53. Not surprising there's lots they didn't tell Trump

He shouldn't mess with them really. They know all his secrets.

[orangecrush]

54. Trump is probably thinking

he can rely on Putin's cohorts connected to his business, advisors, etc. to prevent him from being removed.

That is, imo, why the Flynn indictment is monumental.

I doubt Trump has slept well since then.

[EricMaundry]

15. There is nothing wrong with speculation

If you don't like it, don't read it.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

17. Agreed there's nothing wrong with it.

But inevitably when subsequent events don't immediately justify the speculation, people tend then to get overly pessimistic.

Rather than going on a wild pendulum swing ride with excited speculation followed by disappointments, it's best to maintain an even strain.

And trust Mueller's process.

[bluestarone]

23. yea

this

[Denzil_DC]

19. I'd guess the tension and "leaks" are all part of the strategy.

Nervous people with guilty consciences make mistakes.

[FSogol]

21. Tension and leaks? Mueller is a trained professional prosecutor. Gossip and rumor-mongering is more

of the bailiwick of teenage mean girls. While Mueller might use pressure, I doubt he is handing out hints to the twitterati.

[Denzil_DC]

22. Well, some of the pre-stories have proven true.

Nobody who's at all credible on past record as a source has claimed the "leaks" or predictions came straight from Mueller, but rather from IC contacts.

Whatever, deliberate strategy or not, it's certainly making the social media bots nervous. And WH briefers are wary of even mentioning Russia to Trump because he goes ballistic.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

25. I gather the big thing that was supposed to happen today didn't.

Fitmas all over again.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

26. It will happen.

But maybe not today.

Or maybe it will.

[Vidal]

29. We don't need this post

why do you feel compelled to tell other people what to do or say?

It's not up to you.

I find your comments very insulting.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

31. Cool, dude. nt

[Eliot Rosewater]

33. I think your point needs to be repeated here often. If anyone is losing faith

or patience, I remind them what happened in 2010 when Obama didn't fix 200 yrs of problems overnight and people stayed home on election day because Obama didn't get them a public option and so on.
'

[Oneironaut]

35. Sadly, voters have no patience or respect for the time it takes for change to occur.

The reaction of “Obama didn’t change anything!!!” in 2010 was rather sad and embarrassing. Those who jumped ship and voted Republican made things even worse.

Our society now demands everything instantly. Things do take time.

[Eliot Rosewater]

32. I am hopeful, I mentioned the buzz I was seeing here yesterday and I dont regret it, but your

point is an excellent one.

These anticipations by myself and others is NOT "why is he taking so long", not at all, in fact I would be surprised if anything happened this soon, actually.

So yes, he will do a fantastic job and we will accept the results and he will do it in his time.

[Oneironaut]

34. Another reminder: He is not working to remove Trump from the Presidency.

He is a neutral entity that is investigating if Trump did anything wrong. His investigation may exonerate Trump, or not touch him at all.

Mueller is not the Liberals’ champion for taking down Trump. That’s not his job. It is our job to oppose Trump’s agenda.

[LiberalLovinLug]

38. Yup.

Comey was Obama's and so our, choice to continue as head of the FBI. He was for us, before he was against us, before he is for? us? Not sure now.

Mueller is also a stanch Republican appointee. He'll do his job. But who's to say there won't be back room deals with the GOP leadership that, while not NOT doing his job on possible Russian interference in the election in a general sense, he will not focus on any Trump / Putin direct relationships. It may still come out scathing against Putin, and Wikileaks and Facebook as the primary instruments.

I remember OP after OP back in the mid 00's enthusiastically declaring IT'S OVER FOR CHENEY AND BUSH!!! THIS IS IT THEY ARE GOING DOWN!!!!"

So I, myself, am tempering my anger knowing that I might go bat shit looney if Trump is exonerated (or at least not enough to convict). Their is a bigger battle than Trump the person now. He has unleashed a second wave of braver emboldened deplorables that are here to stay now that they have been given a voice.

[yuiyoshida]

36. I wish I could say I had faith the System will impeach him

But I don't trust a Republican as far as I could throw them, and that isn't very far. They won't impeach him, unless their ASSES are on the line too.

[Dem2]

41. I have no expectations

It's unlikely he'll get to the terrible one, so I'm assuming he won't. One day at a time. When stories break and indictments come, then I pay attention.

[scheming daemons]

49. He needs to work faster, before he can get shit-canned by Trump

[Sedona]

51. Chill
