Fake news? The Russia investigation is getting very, very real

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

President Trump keeps calling the Russia investigation ‘fake news.’ But with each passing week, the independent investigation into Trump's campaign ties to Russia is getting more real, not less.

Here's how:

It's expanding, both in size and scope. Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III has built a team of lawyers who have expertise in cybercrime, white-collar crime, the mob, money laundering and Watergate. Together, his team has more than a century of legal experience.

The Department of Justice's No. 2, Rod J. Rosenstein, originally appointed Mueller to investigate Trump campaign connections to Russia, but Mueller has wide latitude to look into whatever he wishes. So far, we know that's expanded to: Jared Kushner, Michael Flynn, unspecified financial crimes and very specific accusations by the former FBI director that Trump himself tried to obstruct justice.

1. Follow the money...saves time in the long run.

This is what he's doing now. It will create more and more ties and connections to pursue but will bring results faster.

2. The suspect is getting nervous

very nervous, in fact

3. What is getting real is,

Trump's hard core supporters are acting out more and more in violent ways. As Mueller expands his work Product,Trump's Alt Right Friends are expanding their violence. Intimidation,sure as hell looks that way.

15. yo that was rough

on the ol cracker

he had an excuse right outta the gate...statistical noise is the reason for a 16% sub-saharan ancestry.

17. In other words, the white supremacist played the "fake science" card

Hmm... Where have we heard that before?

4. If it is all "fake news" then why have Trump and company hired real lawyers?

Trump has cheated, conned, and lied for everything in his life what makes anyone think
he would do so for POTUS?

The Russians have been working on this for years too.

10. He hired lawyers

because he knows it's a really serious investigation, but he can still call it "fake news" because many of his followers lap up his BS like it's a gourmet meal

12. In that area, you hire a lawyer regardless. just like when the cops haul you in.

How many times we've seen coerced interrogations! "I want a lawyer" should always be your first thought
Anyone with 1/2 a brain, even trump, would be hiring a lawyer.
Funny thing is, he's not listening to his lawyers likely advice to SHUT THE HELL UP!!

[Botany]

16. From what I have read I think some of Trump's lawyers have fired him.

Because he would not do what they told him he should do but w/each tweet
and bald faced lie he is digging his grave deeper and deeper.

18. Wouldnt surprise me at all. nt

[Heartstrings]

6. K & R N/t

7. Three words

LOCK THEM UP!

9. In a nutshell, Donnie deals with adversity the way a corporation does

Deny, deflect, rewrite, hire a good PR department that never answers questions directly.

He is not cut out for the job he weaseled himself into.

He was always going to try to paint any investigation as #FakeNews, that's why he's pushed
the paranoid, witch hunt, fake news angle so hard. Surprised he didn't label them all "pretenders".

He thought he could micromanage adversity. It was never going to work.

11. They know what they did....

14. tweet seen on twitter

"A man who cries about fake news thanked a fake Twitter account for giving a fake thank you to thousands of its fake followers.

I'm done."
@tonyposnanski
