I suspect. No matter how long it takes for an investigation. The DEMOCRATS will almost instantly claim that Mueller is a Liar, and that his Special FINDINGS do not fit with the Demands of the Dems.???

Actually. NO NEED TO START BETTING. We all know the TRUTH won't please Dems at all.

This is not a good thing, IMO. Once again, a special prosecutor is looking for criminal activity and if they don't find it on the original inquiry, they tend to look at other things-think about how 'White Water' morphed into Lewinski.

I posted a link a day or two ago that was by I think Andrew McCarthy that gave arguments why a 'special committee' would be a better choice.

I was wrong on the author, it was David Frum:

If you are on the side of truth, it's a good thing. Whatever it may be.

this could lead to Hillarys head on a stick. Or Obama's.

Depends on the special prosecutor. Some would turn this into a witch hunt. I don't see mueller doing that.

PETEY....You are really good at Double-talking. Which version of the word TRUTH would you prefer? Your DNC made-up, so-called, liberal facts, or ACTUAL, PROVEN FACTS?

We all know by now. You have repeated what you call FACTS (lies of liberals) for so long. They (the lies) actually became what you MUST believe in order to be welcomed by other EASILY-LED liberals.

Special Counsel to a 3-ring circus based nothing. Sure as Hell want THAT on my resume. What a total joke this sh*t's become.

Mueller is in the twilight of his career. Plus think of the book deals.

Still nothing but a bunch of crap. HERE is what Trump is guilty of ... firing a member of the Washington bureaucracy. Not the elected officials. The bloodsuckers doing as little as possible to collect a check. They don't change with each administration Thay are petty, vindictive, and don't like their boat rocked.

Last time it happened Clinton deleted Linda Tripp's position and moved her to different job which a demotion in position. The result of THAT was Monica-gate. Tripp suddenly decided she had a conscience and the people should know. We'd have never heard of it had Clinton not demoted her. Oh, and she didn't take a cut in pay. Not how it works for those civilian government employees.

And before anyone (pete) starts running his suck, I WAS stationed in DC and I know how the system works.

Things could not continue as they have the past 10 days, the WH had to get back to business. What's wrong with a 'special prosecutor' is there is no end that can be seen. In this case it's even worse, as it's starting point is the 'election and Russians' and goes from there. Totally open-ended:

Rosenstein wrote in an order that Mueller is authorized to take over the investigation that Comey confirmed to Congress in a March hearing. That includes “any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump” and “any matters that arose or may arise from directly from the investigation.” It also gives Mueller authority to look into other crimes noted under a statute that establishes the special counsel, “such as perjury, obstruction of justice, destruction of evidence, and intimidation of witnesses; and to conduct appeals arising out of the matter being investigated and/or prosecuted.”

Well the starting point seems to be Flynn and Manafort and has been ongoing for months:

It's a waste of time, effort and money and lends credibility to the left/MSM throwing sh*t against the wall.

and yet there were so many times that Trump could have not thrown gasoline, but did.

I don't blame him a bit. I'm not all about running with every accusation made as if it was a make a break issue. I am REAL sick of everyone beating this same dead horse saying the same things day in and day out. It's like some live just to find fault -- ANY fault -- with everything he does. If he doesn't do anything, they just make something up. Y'all nag worse than my grandmother, mother and daughter combined.

Now we get to listen to an ongoing forever investigation into ever step he takes. What a bunch of crap.
