This is almost entirely Executive branch self policing itself. DoJ and special prosecutor are Executive pieces. Only Judicial input is signing warrants. Oh, and bitch-slapping the muslim ban is Judicial as well.
I will say this: Whoever the next president of the US is, will not be able to wipe his own ass without someone checking a box somewhere. This whole adventure has been very empowering for the judicial branch imo.
Trump publicaly asked Russia to hack Hillary's email. Sounds like collusion to me.
Fair enough, my point still stands though. This whole thing has been a pretty good vindication of checks and balances at least.This is almost entirely Executive branch self policing itself.

And Donnie is apparently intent on being hoisted by his own petard with these tweets.
So is that an admission of guilt? Are you saying there is proof out there? I mean Mueller's team has to be toasting every time he tweets by now! I said yesterday maybe Twitter will be used against him by Mueller, now I'm about 95% certain it will.
EDIT: He continues on..

Are you blaming Rosenstein or Mueller?
Just saw Pence has hired Outside Counsel. Boy, this is moving fast...
Americans should exercise caution before accepting as true any stories attributed to anonymous ‘officials,' particularly when they do not identify the country — let alone the branch or agency of government — with which the alleged sources supposedly are affiliated. Americans should be skeptical about anonymous allegations.
Pence was head of the transition team, he had to know something, of course if/when the time comes, he'll play dumb.Why would such a fine, moral, sin-free man need to worry about his response? Pence seems worried that he might say something that gets his two-faced ass in a wringer. Now he can refer everything to his lawyer and keep away from the shit storm. When he's president next year, he'll be better off for having done this.

Why does Pence seemingly get a pass in the media? He seems to be somehow involved in every scandal, whether it be Flynn or the firing of Comey.
Trump may need Pence to pardon him, so they need Pence to appear as "clean" as possible.Why does Pence seemingly get a pass in the media? He seems to be somehow involved in every scandal, whether it be Flynn or the firing of Comey.

Because there are valid concerns that Paul Ryan is even worse than Pence.
Jesus, the whole cabinet is a dumpster fire. Acosta is the first one in the line of succession that doesn't make me throw up a little in my mouth. Ideally we would just redo the whole fraudulent election, but there's zero chance unfortunately.
To be honest, trump's lawyer was over his pay grade before he was hired. This proves it.NBC reporting that Trump's personal lawyer has hired a lawyer.
The lawyers are going to need lawyers to cover their lawyers.
Like father like son...like father-in-law??
Death by a thousand paper cuts continues on...
Actually given what has been reported in the last 48 hours or so, could Mueller potentially go RICO on Trump, Kushner et. al??
Agree on that, however keep in mind Watergate snagged 69 different people with indictments, given how big Comey and now Mueller's investigation is, it would not surprise in the least if more than a few Cabinet members(obviously Sessions) and potentially top republicans might go with it. But if it comes to that, the Republicans would most likely get absolutely wiped in the mid-terms
What are your thoughts on Mattis? He seems at least somewhat level headed and he's actually in line before Sessions
That's actually the real issue with these investigations and why politicians are so nervous about them, even despite being innocent. The collateral damage, the other stuff that gets dragged up that is then found to separately be ripe for investigation.Agree on that, however keep in mind Watergate snagged 69 different people with indictments, given how big Comey and now Mueller's investigation is, it would not surprise in the least if more than a few Cabinet members(obviously Sessions) and potentially top republicans might go with it.

That would be so awesome!I think I'm going to start responding with "witch hunt!" when someone starts asking me questions at work.
If I had to guess I would say it would be something with the foreign corrupt powers act.
