    I think everyone wants the investigation to conclude. Most people want the investigation to end when Mueller has finished his work. Its an important and complex investigation. And the results will have significant and far-reaching effects on the United States.

    It needs to end when it is ready, and won't end before that. The dems are sweating because if the report vindicates Trump during the election, he will win. They need it out ASAP if it doesn't completely dethrone Trump. The only other alternative is releasing it after the election, and having the possibility of Russia hang over Trump's head throughout the election.

    There are a number of potential articles of impeachment possible: emoluments, financial crimes including money laundering and campaign finance, obstruction of justice, and criminal conspiracy. Each with the possibility of multiple offenses. And many involving multiple countries.

    The investigation is about collusion. Not a fishing expedition for impeachable offenses

    At this point you are seeing the exact wording of the instructions and simply pretending that you don't know how to read. Mueller was directed to investigate "any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation",and any other matters within the scope of 28 CFR 600.4 – Jurisdiction." Sure, it isn't a "fishing expedition", instead, its an investigation that he was directed to do. And Mueller is doing it.

    btw, you late edit doesn't make what you say any more correct. He is directed to investigate ANYTHING that may arise from his investigation. And he is.

    How would emoluments come up in an investigation about collusion

    Specifically some dignitaries staying at his D.C. hotel

    What makes you think hotel guests are the only thing being investigated? But since you asked, if Mueller finds out that hotel guests were part of a quid pro with Russia?

    But also get used to the idea that there are multiple investigations going on right now. According to this article, there are 17 investigations.

    Im sure Mueller can easily finx out if they're Russian. But thats my point if they aren't it has nothing to do with the investigation

    Same with Stormy Daniels

    He can be indicted. The next question you should ask... if the Other Idiot Son discussed this with the colluder-in-chief?

    Speaker Pelosi puts forward a really bad case for not doing her job/duty:

    I’m not for impeachment. This is news. I’m going to give you some news right now because I haven’t said this to any press person before. But since you asked, and I’ve been thinking about this: Impeachment is so divisive to the country that unless there’s something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, I don’t think we should go down that path, because it divides the country. And he’s just not worth it.

    That's truly awful, basically it's the "shoot somebody on 5th avenue " defense.

    She needs to catch **** for this. It's embarrassing.
