3. I don't understand something about DOJ v Mueller

When it says that the DOJ is investigating, does that mean that Mueller is definitely not involved? For example, if the DOJ was reviewing records from the Deutsche Bank, couldn't Mueller walk across the hall and take a look as well? Or would whoever in the DOJ is reviewing the records need to find something and bring it to Mueller?

I see potential overlap.

6. The DOJ subpoenas were made outside Mueller's scope, but

if he deemed them in scope, he could just walk over and get them, he doesn't have to issue a new subpoena for the same documents.

10. Best criminals know how to get away with stuff

The people the man-child hires are as good as he is, that is not very good, and way far from being "best".

Maybe you meant the most greedy, the lowest?

11. Unless the oversightand the system is changed, there will be plenty of scumbags to fill their shoes

Whack a mole.

And since most of these scumbags are not dealing with real money (meaning money that they earned) the losses will still be borne by banks (taxpayers), governments (taxpayers), investors (some taxpayers, most not.) The Russkis don't care since they can print greenbacks at will.

And since several of these scumbags may end up spending a few years in cushy 6x10 cells (perhaps with a "room-mate&quot , the cost of their lodging, feeding, etcetera, etcetera will also be borne by .... taxpayers.

Still the entertainment value of watching pretty-boy and fake-girl along with Orange-U-Tang getting into a special van would be worth a whole lot of this taxpayer's tithing.

17. Yes, how does he do that?

Either he's too stupid and arrogant to know how much trouble he is in or he's completely high all the time. My bet is on the former.

We'd have to hear it from tRump TV about how mean she's being to the Russians and organizations taking blood money while our children are dying in public schools.
