    He knows that at the end of the day, he has the majority in the Supreme Court and just like Bush v. Gore; the vote will be down party lines. The only possible “bump” would be Roberts possibly.

    It's insane the investigation has gone on this long, given that no crime was identified to begin with and no evidence or collusion with Russia has ever been identified. It's a perpetual audit of all things Trump, with no probable cause needed, and no time/scope/budgetary limits.

    The idea that firing Comey is obstruction of justice is ridiculous. POTUS can fire his unelected subordinates for any reason, and he had written recommendation for doing so from the AG and deputy AG (which he didn't even need).

    Not to mention the lack of any underlying crime to obstruct.

    And if Mueller targets you, you best make a plea, otherwise he can bankrupt you w legal fees.

    It’s insane that Trump’s only the best are so dirty and people think Trump isn’t dirty.

    Trump’s legal team is arguing that a president can’t be indicted, that’s something an innocent person’s team would be doing....

    Trump is pardoning people guilty of what Trump has been up to.... that’s what an innocent person would be doing....

    Don’t commit crimes and you won’t have to deal with Mueller.

    Law and order is subjective, right?

    So the argument now is the POTUS cannot be subjected to an investigation because he is above the laws. Hummmm.. in which part of the world do we have this?? You people are willing to risk the US for your great Trump? Fking unbelievable.

    I think its a lot too late for trump to "don't commit crimes". Hence the efforts to avoid getting indicted.

    What's insane is the amount of corruption uncovered and sheer volume of charges this investigation has brought.

    Did you say the same thing after the first of FOUR years of Benghazi investigations and will you throw a hissy fit if it takes longer than a year to investigate Bernie Sanders or whoever the GOP decides to target next time there is actually a Democrat with any real power?

    One year is nothing. You’re putting on a show with fake outrage just to appease a man you will never know and thinks you are the most gullible idiot he can continue to manipulate. Trump has absolutely zero respect for you with the way he so easily tries to manipulate you guys.

    You know what Trump did but feel like you need to fight battles on the Internet in his name for some F-ed up reason. Just be honest and say you don’t give a sh$& and you support him because you think you are getting X,Y,and Z from him. If you are doing all this because you want to “own the libs!” just stop. You just make yourself look more ridiculous when you try and fight it instead of owning it.

    Probably a coincidence that the same time commodore posts his outrage that the trump lawyer letter comes out with evidence of obstruction...

    So, how did the NYT obtain a letter that was hand-delivered to the Mueller team in January?

    As they have for over a year, the Mueller probe continues to leak like a sieve.

    It's a dry hole. There was no collusion. Shut that farce down.
