Trump is already an unindicted co-conspirator on Cohen's guilty plea involving Stormy hush money.
Mueller - lifetime Republican, Appointed by Bush as FBI Director and approved by unanimous Senate vote, Marine Captain, Vietnam Vet, Bronze Star, Purple Heart and he's a bad guy when compared to Trump?
I also note the continued ignoring of Pappadopoulous who was, officially, a member of the Trump Campaigns foreign affairs team when he initiated his attempts to contact the Russian mob thus triggering the initial FISA warrant, not the Carter Page warrant which came after although Page himself was also attempting to contact the foreign entity.
I don't believe Trump will be indicted. As always, he'll melt down when Junior, Ivanka or Jared get indicted and do something spectacularly stupid even by his extraordinarily low standards.
Just a reminder - a few of DJT's greatest hits
"I fired Comey because of, you know, Russia" - Obstruction
"Russia, if you are listening, please find those emails." - Surprise, the Podesta emails were released shortly thereafter mitigating the pussy grabbing tape - Collusion
The very first DJT statement post 9/11 statement - "Now I have the tallest building in Manhattan" - Narcissistic Asshole and Compulsive Liar (it wasn't the tallest).
As Trump fired Comey based on a recommendation from Rod Rosenstein, I don't think your point is valid. Second for obstruction of justice to occur, there must be a crime where the obstruction is pertinent. That crime would be? Collusion isn't a crime. Second, it has been argued that as the head of the executive branch and the cheif law enforcement officer, by definition he cannot obstruct justice - as he IS the ruling authority.
I'm not ignoring Papa D at all and in fact posted about him earlier today. I also think there is credible evidence that he was set up, as there are a suspicious number of events where things took place targeting the Trump people in an attempt to put them in a compromising position. A conflicting tale between what Papa D allegedly told the Aussie and what he says was discussed is not proof, even if it did happen of "trying to contact the Russian mob."
Page was not trying to contact anyone - there is no supporting evidence other than he was in Moscow to deliver a speech. Going from "trying to contact" which he did not do to "he is an agent of a foreign government who has violated federal law" is something completely different. Yet a Page FISA was issued and renewed a number of times. Based on what? The question still stands - why isn't he in jail if he is in fact an agent of a foreign government who has violated federal law?
"The Trumpers keep talking about collusion while conveniently ignoring obstruction and perjury"
I'm not ignoring anything.
"Trump is already an unindicted co-conspirator on Cohen's guilty plea involving Stormy hush money." NOT an election violation. Hence not an issue here.
"Mueller - lifetime Republican, Appointed by Bush as FBI Director and approved by unanimous Senate vote, Marine Captain, Vietnam Vet, Bronze Star, Purple Heart and he's a bad guy when compared to Trump?"
He's also a guy with a very bad record of screwing people from his position of power and not caring what innocent people get wrecked in the process. He's a bad guy all on his own, regardless of Trump and party affiliation means nothing. I'll credit him for his service in the USMC, that has nothing to do with how he is acting now, or how he acted in other cases, like the one involving Whitey Bulger, or the Anthrax case, and a few others.
Like I said, I'm more than happy to let all of the cards go face up on the table, and comfortable with where I've placed my bets.
By the way, did you ever fact check yourself on the claim I challenged you on concerning numbers and dispositions of high level people fired, demoted, transferred or quit? Haven't heard back from you on that. And by the way, aside from your numbers claim, there are errors in other parts of your claims as well.
