    With Sessions and Rosenstein's firing imminent, how soon would Trump end the Muellar investigation.

    What is crazy is that Mueller has done nothing except run a professional investigation. He has been absolutely the perfect example of professionalism throughout this whole ordeal. Yet he is being maligned as if he has done anything wrong at all.

    Of course. Unless you are purely loyal to Dear Leader, you are probably out to get Dear Leader. If that sounds just like a cult, that's because it has become one.

    This is actually fascinating although Papadapolous is not particularly credible.

    A truly global conspiracy (even naming Teresa May) to setup a pretense for an investigation .... not use any of the intelligence on the campaign trail, allow Hillary to lose, and then use the intelligence to further a witch hunt to take down the Trump. The ultimate Martyr for TRUE Americans.

    It’ll make for a great spy movie but in reality even if this was a great global conspiracy as Papadapolous lays out, they utterly failed in spectacular fashion.

    The residue from said global conspiracy (Mueller probe) is only affective if the truth is negative to Trump.

    Papadapolous is probably correct that yes ... I’m 95% sure that these British and Australian officials likely were working him, and they probably did not want to see Trump in power.

    But Papadapolous is widely overblowing his importance on a global scale and thinks far too highly of his part in this story. In the end it changes nothing about the fact that the Russian government meddled in our election to help get Trump elected, and the Trump campaign at the highest levels TRIED (at least) to conspire with them with open arms.

    The whole “it’s a global setup” conspiracy theory will entertain right wing nuts for decades though. Papadapolous knows this and is doing a good job of making sure an A list Hollywood Star ultimately gets to play him when the movie comes out years later.

    The only way this conspiracy theory ever would be a real theory with any credibility is if it can be proven that the global elite/Democrats actually tanked the election on purpose in partnership with the Russian government for the sole purpose of taking down ONE PERSON... Donald Trump. That’s pretty far out even for Right Wing nutcases.

    pretty obvious the Brits/Aussies were lending their spy networks to the US DoJ to spy on Trump's campaign, and they are freaking out about the FISA warrant declassification revealing that

    Evidence of Aussies or Brits "freaking out" over any sort of US FISA news?

    Well when you intentionally hire shady and corrupt folks with ties to shady Russians and Eastern Europeans to run your campaign, it’s going to raise some flags...

    Evidence of Russian collusion? It's stunning to me that you lack the self awareness to demand evidence from another person when your side's 2 year old Russian collusion claims have yet to produce a single shred of evidence.

    GOOD DAY

    How dare you talk about John Podesta, Hillary's Campaign Chairman, in that way.

    GOOD DAY

    Lol. GOP controlled government can’t manage to get anything on Clinton. Meanwhile how many corrupt campaign managers have been indicated and how many corrupt Trump govt picks have resigned?

    Ouch.
