The Mueller investigation is no longer a search for Russian collusion with Trump in the 2016 race. It is now a much more far-reaching inquiry into corrupt lobbying practices all across Washington DC

#1 corrupt lobbying practices

Color me skeptical unless and until we see some Zero/Hildabeast cronies start doing perp walks.

#2 And here I thought I heard Sessions say if the probe found anything outside the Russian collusion objective it would be turned over to others for prosecution. Robespierre to the courtesy phone.

#3 And here I thought I heard Sessions say

Might want to stop putting nickles in it once you hear that.

#4 I had better see results.

The whole District is built on sand as far as I AM concerned.

I don't think it will lay a glove on the Clintons. They know too much about Mueller

#6 It's not a matter of who Mueller gets behind.
It's who he sticks the knife in that counts.
Remember who this guy is.

#7 An investigation that is very likely to ensnare figures close to Hillary Clinton.

Why do I think, "Close but no cigar."

#8 If all this is true then why wasn't Podesta indicted on Monday right along with Manafort?

#9 Your tax dollars spent on Mueller's Whitewash Campaign? All of the "Usual Suspects" that are Dem-affiliated will be let go because there is insufficient evidence -- see Comey for Act I of this farce.

#10 I wonder if Mueller is writing the exoneration documents now before starting the sham investigation (with leaks so they can tidy up before he gets there).

#11 Why do I think, "Close but no cigar."

Maybe because somebody hid the cigar?

#12 Seems like someone might have found the plug. If they can just pull it free the swamp might start to actually drain (or at least the swamp creatures may go into hiding for a short while).

#13 He got along with Holder, never beefed the Fast and Furious story to any degree, and hired a lefty staff....expecting honest investigations to reveal the heart of the corruption on the left side of the aisle....not likely. He may be expected to reveal some lower level naughtiness but the tip of to Podesta to file foreign agent paperwork after his work started seems just a tad too coincidental.

#14 "I'll trade you one Paul Manafort and a Mickey Mantle for a Hillary Clinton."

BTW, where's our Florida girl, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz?

#15 It's almost like there are some pretty good reasons politicians spend millions to get jobs paying in the low 100-thousands.
