    Mueller's job doesn't involve keeping you and I informed at every step.

    It's the president's responsibility to fend off foreign adversaries. Too bad Trump's not interested in that.

    Yes, it is an impeachable difference. If stupidity led him to commit obstruction of justice in the eyes of the House, then stupidity is impeachable.

    True! But Mathews sees nothing there. You are not privy either, but you spout like old Faithful?

    Interesting, so if Chris Matthews suddenly does see something to the Trump investigation then Marz & Denny will agree with him.

    Good to know.

    I don't spout any more than you spout, Mr. Teapot.

    I don't think I've claimed that anyone is guilty - I'm eager to see the investigation continue and see what turns up.

    There's a lot of smoke. Maybe there's no fire. Probably there is. Since I don't want President Pence, I'm not lobbying for early impeachment. But it might have to be done at some point - that's up to the Republican Party, not me.

    Seems like high price entertainment for a few, with no profit in sight for the many.

    Take a spout count, this thread. Most threads.

    Your disregard for the rule of law is noted.

    Oh! I love the rule of law. I see no law broken. I hear of no law broken. I only hear loud mouths that want a savior to find something, anything.

    Weird that nothing in his statement suggests what you seem to think it does.

    Trump hoped for an end to an investigation into someone he felt did nothing wrong.

    Trump isn't King - his feelings aren't the law.

    Trump is the chief executive of the United States. By any logic, he can order investigations to stop. He can fire those ordered to stop. He can order one to begin. I am thinking it is time for the third option, perhaps with several people as the prime subject.

    Then you should be happy about the investigation, because Mueller should conclude very quickly that there is nothing to it and close the operation down and announce the all-clear.

    Yet you seem to be very concerned... I wonder why?

    Nope. While he has the legal authority to fire people or stop/start investigations, that authority doesn't cover him doing so for criminal or self-interested reasons.

    It's simply not true that he can literally do whatever he wants.
