Could it Be Possible Mueller Wanted to Highlight the Complete Hypocrisy of Asking Him to Investigate

obstruction when current DOJ rules prohibit indicting a sitting president? Seriously, why bother? This arbitrary rule that has no basis is the Constitution or legal precedent, and for all intents and purposes gives us a king.

Realistically, How Many Elections Could Republicans Actually Win if They Didn't Cheat?

An even larger question is, why do we continue to let them?

Has Trump Promised Pardons to Everyone He's Ordered to Ignore Congressional Subpoenas?

Since apparently Trump can’t be indicted while president, he appears to be acting like he can commit any crime.

Which Will be Delayed Longer, Trump's Tax Returns or the Unredacted Mueller Report?

"The Mueller Report Shows That Bad Guys Who Play Dirty, Like Trump, Always Win"

In his "First Thoughts" piece in The Guardian, Jonathan Freedland tells us that although we had hoped that Mueller would be the savior to deliver us from Trump, we are disappointed because he did not quite deliver the smoking gun. Instead, the report, "handed the American public and their elected representatives a fully loaded revolver, with a note attached: 'Now, it's up to you.'

Two comments in Freedland's piece are telling. First: "Mueller emerges as a ref who allowed himself to be bullied by an especially belligerent star player."

Second is with respect to Mueller finding evidence of criminal conspiracy: "Because we knew we couldn't indict Trump for crimes, we made sure not to find any."

The article can be read here:

I'm in Favor of Continued (& Aggressive) House Investigations into Trump's Many Shady Dealings

Investigations that when evidence is found, results in criminal indictments that could ultimately see him behind bars (wearing silver bracelets and an orange jumpsuit that matches his hair).

At This Critical Juncture, it's Imperative All the Mainstream Media Loudly Call Out this Criminality

The future of our country is now on the line. If the mainstream media falls soft-pedals what is actually happening or falls into the typical bothsiderism trap, I fear our country is done for. There are serious crimes being perpetrated right in front of us and there is no room to pretend otherwise or look the other way. These are the times that will either make us or break us.

How Did Bill Barr Keep His Law License after His Lies to Congress

and other nefarious behavior while serving in the Bush Administration? He should have been sent to prison thirty years ago.

It Might be Interesting to See a Photo of Bill Barr's Eyes Without Glasses

The eyes are the mirror to the soul. Does he have one?

How Likely is it Trump has Already Promised a Pardon to Mnuchin & Rettig?

Trump would likely do anything to keep his tax returns hidden. These are far from normal times!
