Robert Mueller 'going for the kill' on Trump-Russia probe, claim Republicans

[Trish]

You will probably be waiting for some time, since fishing expeditions based on nothing usually don't have definitive outcomes. They just drag on forever as the inquisitors and useful idiots descend deeper into denial and self-delusion. I wouldn't be surprised if a year from now, people are still waiting for the "results" of the "investigation".

That's cool. I can wait - I still got a lot of years left in me.

One of two things will come from this witch-hunt/fishing expedition.

1. Mueller will manufacture something out of desperation in order to save himself and his sponsors from complete humiliation. Their allies in the media will trumpet it endlessly in an attempt to sensationalize some minor offense or mistake. They will declare the investigation a smashing success and move on to their next pile of lies and hysteria.

2. The investigation will drag on interminably for months or years until it loses all its momentum and finally fizzles out. Mueller and his sponsors will try to move on as quietly and quickly as possible in the hope that everyone will just forget their years of treachery and lies.

What will definitely NOT happen is the revelation of some smoking gun that proves Trump was "colluding" with Russian all along. If such a smoking gun existed, it would have been revealed months ago. The fact that they're still "investigating" is proof that they have absolutely nothing on Trump or any of his close associates.

You heard it here first.

I'm inclined to agree. Far too much has been invested in this for them to come away with nothing. They will certainly manufacture something to save face and the true believers will continue to believe. It's an interesting technique, actually. Basically, you pull in the unsophisticated and gullible to the point where abandoning these fabricated charges will be humiliating. How much have some of our members invested in "Russiagate"? Do you think they have the character to admit they were manipulated? No, they don't. None of them.

Collusion.

Perhaps they can ask congress to add it to Title 18 of the US Code.

Rut-roh. I am interested, as always, in your thoughts on this matter.

Members of the GOP are concerned the new hires suggest Mr Mueller will begin looking into Mr Trump's financial dealings, including a proposal made during his election campaign to build a Trump Tower in Moscow.

It's cool for sham investigations to go on indefinitely?

Of course not. These are the same people who for months insisted with supreme confidence that Trump would NEVER be president. And they are the same people who were absolutely certain that Brexit would never happen. But when they got proven 100% wrong, did they engage in a period of self-reflection? Did they ask themselves: How could I have been so wrong? Am I really not as smart and as perceptive as I think I am? No way! But that's what it takes to be a committed "liberal" these days, is absolutely unshakable confidence in your own superiority and righteousness. That's why I reject the classification of present day "liberalism" as an ideology. It may seem like one, on the surface, but when you start peeling back the layers, what you see is purely ego-driven selfishness and opportunism. Calling it "liberalism" and giving it the color of social ethics is just a form of denial.

You have to be impressed by the resourcefulness of an investigator who is investigating something that isn't even legally defined. It's the perfect pretext to initiate a fishing expedition.
