The Downward Spiral Of The Mueller Investigation
2018-05-07
[RedState] The special counsel investigation into the possible "collusion" between Donald Trump’s campaign and the Russian government appears to be coming to a close a lot sooner than many would expect.

It’s not that Mueller has signaled the end ‐ to the contrary, Mueller hasn’t signaled much of anything. However, the pace of the investigation and the movement of the case through the courts seems to indicate they are running out of steam. And, if this is the case, then it’s all but assured that’s it’s going to be "Game Over" for Mueller and the Democrats.

Things have stalled. The Department of Justice is now being challenged in court, and some judges do not appear to be amused by some of the antics that have been going on. In both of those cases, those are the highest-profile indictments the investigation has doled out, and if they are in trouble, then the investigation itself is in trouble.

...Part of me thinks this is really why Giuliani was brought on. He’s going to talk a tough ‐ and, at times, insane ‐ game. He and Mueller will strike a deal, and both sides will claim they did their job. At the end of the day, though, the investigation will produce nothing the Democrats can cling on to, and considering many of them have put their eggs in this basket, that’s bad news for them.
Assuming that your opponents are sane and able to do political calculations can be fatal mistake - just ask Julius Caesar

#4  It’s starting to feel like Attorney General Sessions gave Mr. Mueller enough rope to hang himself instead of fighting him directly.

I agree, look at all that has been revealed, all the dirty players flushed out from their cover and masks dropped. Had the Left just shut up and accepted their loss, they might not be facing their doom.

#3  It’s worse than that, Pan. They have actively subverted our institutions and the rule of law. They have infiltrated our institutions so they have been infected with the cancer of their ideology. There is no punishment for malfeasance in their duties. The American people are being boxed into a corner where the govt has weaponized laws against the people they serve. How bad does it have to get before it is stopped? We will see.

#2  And America misses the point yet again. The investigation "Should" have focused on Russian intervention. But no, the FBI made it an internal political witch hunt with no real objective to stop Russian interference. Now here we sit, almost a year later, millions spent, and the Russians are still operating in our political system unfettered. EVERYONE at DOJ/FBI that has worked this need to be tried for sedition. They have let the American people down and left our nation at greater risk than before. They have failed. Even if they removed the president, which was their goal, they would have then not only failed to protect us, but made the Russian goal of disrupting our nation a full blown success. As far as I'm concerned the FBI was acting on Russia's behalf over the last year.
