Well he's right about one thing, this shit will go on history books, just no for the reasons he thinks.
Oh my... so nice to have some good news for a change!
Robert Mueller is coming to town.
Just in time for Christmas.
He's like Santa Claus except he arrests Jeff Sessions and the other elves.
"ahem, it is if I say it is."
Yeah, this doesn't really mean the report is anywhere close to being released unfortunately. Who knows what other investigations are still in progress.
Still waiting for a secondary source that isn't tweets.
The article just uses the indictments etc. to show there is no possible way Mueller isn't finding collusion. BBC has a similar one

What a nice pre-xmas gift. Now the big test is to see if Congress has a spine or not to impeach following the official results coming out.
Or for an even worse one: "Any minute now, Mueller will release everything and get all those liberals, Democrats, and any "enemies" of this country in prison for life and/or execution."
You know those comical moments in cartoons where someone is so dumb they can't fit the right shapes in the the correct holes?
That's his base. And they're proud of it.
oh thank goodness collusion isn't a crime
*telephone rings*
I've just been informed that conspiracy to break election laws and knowingly receive stollen information are both crimes.
I wonder if we're going to have a blue Christmas
It still surprises me that:
US Government can be so rigged, yet there can be a person/team that's basically invincible.
Man, US Politic are fucked up.
I can't wait for the day Mueller just announces final report and Trump and some of his family basically get fucking raided by FBI/Feds (whoever is in charge of this) and get arrest them until pending trial or some shit.
That's the entire premise of rigging something, is to make one side favored.
He really hasn't covered anything. Everything was basically "known" in the election, but now we're getting finer details and confirmation.
We've already made our list, and Mueller is checking it twice.
I feel like Trump didn't cover any of his tracks. At least very well. There's questions about Trump going back decades, but back then were just "Casino fined for money laundering" and kind of meh and boring. I'm inclined to be skeptical of politicians and I think a lot of them get away with dirty deals and illegal activities, but most of them are good at hiding it. I feel like should we find Trump guilty of all that he is accused of, he could've easily hid it and gotten away with it all without question, had he just stacked his deck a bit better, surrounded himself with more loyal people, and wasn't so damn smug, braggadocious, and quick to jump on the attack/overly defensive./having no Twitter filter.
Because, well, Trump was getting away with it all, as a businessman. He had built himself a brand and style that was pretty well received up until recently (2010ish maybe?). He was friends with Oprah, talked about populist issues, did Television and movie cameos, etc. He built himself up a fake celebrity as a facade for all the sketchy stuff going on virtually in the open, but people didn't really see it because of his loud and proud persona. Everyone just kind of accepted him without looking into it. Oh that's The Donald, billionaire business mogul and host of the Apprentice where he's tough and in charge. "You're Fired! lol!" Never mind the fact that most of the buildings with his name on it were just branding deals of pre-existing hotels. Never mind pretty much all of his non-real estate business ventures failed. The truth is, Trump has always been a bumbling fool that has had everything handed to him on a gold platter by his father, and he has been told by his Yes-men his whole life that he's a great business mogul, but he's really just a spoiled kid in the shadows of his father, struggling to maintain his inherited real estate empire. (Despite Trumps well-crafted persona of being a great businessman and deal-maker, real estate is probably the easiest business to do if you're given millions of dollars to do it. He's not inventing anything, or manufacturing anything, or producing anything, except glamour). What Trump did best was projecting himself as this larger-than-life business mogul, which was all he needed to cover his tracks. He did not realize, through his braggadociousness, that politics is a a cut-throat world were backstabbing and dirty dealing is the norm. It's survival of the fittest to the maximum degree. Business is too, in many regards, but politics takes it to the nth degree. Trump flew too close to the sun, and thought he could get away with his status-quo in the cut-throat world of politics, and quickly got jumped by the tigers going for the throat.
If Trump never got involved with politics in 2012, he probably would still just be that rich billionaire reality TV host with the larger-than-life personality and tough and intimidating persona. But he thought he could chase power even further, and irreparably damaged his legacy by doing so.
My dad keeps saying they don't have a "smoking gun", and that they'll basically "arrest everyone involved BUT Trump since they have nothing he did specifically wrong, just the people he hired" and I'm struggling to refute that since there's so much information to parse through.
Are there really people who support Mueller's probe because it'll end in him arresting liberals? That's uh... Alright then.
Our government is specifically structured to resist rigging and corruption. The fact it's this rigged right now and Mueller is still going strong is really a testament to how well-crafted the system is overall. And hopefully once this bullshit is over we can take the lessons learned here and make some new laws that will prevent anyone from rigging things like this again.
It's just weird that it's so hard/long to remove a president from his position.
It's not supposed to be. The entire issue here is that for all the careful considerations the Founding Fathers put into creating and structuring our government, they unfortunately didn't foresee a situation where the legislative branch would be actively refusing to do their jobs and joining the executive branch in attacking the judicial branch.
Tell him that there wasn't a whole lot of evidence that Nixon directly ordered the Watergate break-in, but he was indicted regardless due to trying to obstruct justice.
There may not be a smoking gun connecting Trump to the Russians (yet) but obstruction charges have already been suggested due to things like Trump's firing of Comey.
Just go learn about watergate, or the clinton impeachments already.
There is historical precedent.
Look at the dates. That shit did not happen quickly.
