Too bad the “rape” lawsuits didn’t shut down Rolling Stone.

Clearly Manafort’s threats to sue that dishonest “news” organization for libel has gotten their attention. One might hope that he will follow through and succeed.

Inspector Javert comes to mind.

Heydrich und Beria ist more appropriate

Leni Reifenstahl would have drooled at the opportunity to cast herr Müller.
What kind of vile scum divines that a man who whose interrogators said told the truth committed perjury? that scum then bankrupted Flynn and threatened his son.
this is the nazi who tortured Mark Hatfill and drove Ivins to suicide. Our DOJ is so corrupt that those two didnt get fired after those or the Enron infractions.
I wonder how many of Herr Müllers family served as Einzatsgruppen of in Sobibor.? And to think that my uncle died saving West Müllerland from the Russians , especially when you consider that Müllerism began in West Müllerland

Yes, I had the same thought. I suspect that Mueller thought he had Trump with the supposed Wikileaks connection.

The day the Podesta brothers are prosecuted is the day I will believe anything Mueller says. He’s home free on one topic,. Whitey Bulgar died.

Well, um, OK; but yer being far too kind.

Mueller has two missions to fulfill (i.e., two birds to k***)—with one stone (i.e., one investigation aka one inquisition):

1. GET Trump (and send a message to anyone who is close to him—or would like to get close to him that they will pay dearly for such “proximity”).
2. PROTECT Hillary and Obama and Lynch and Brennan et al. (i.e., the rest of that scurvy crew) from the legal comeuppance (i.e., prison) they—if there is any justice—so richly deserve.

I should add another point:
3. Do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING possible to achieve BOTH 1 AND 2—but failing that, AT LEAST achieve point 2.

Mueller is (they all are) playing for very, very high stakes here. He MUST NOT FAIL.

There one can reasonably assume that the big cheese is guilty of something. It is just a matter of finding out what it is. You have the moral authority to assume guilt and press to find the evidence.

That is not what the Mueller investigation should be about. He has no right to assume guilt. That he must prove. But it is hard to teach an old horse new tricks.

Heh. Wonder what all the people here who thought the federal reserve was “no problem” will have what type of reaction to that. Is Trum now making up stuff that is not a problem for kicks and giggles reality tv style.

People seem to think that because Trum appointed the fed chair, that he can now fire the board… hahaha. Just like Trum can fire Roberts right.
