    I guess you must be referring to Peter Strzok/Lisa Page? I don't know of any others on Mueller's team who have had their text messages leaked or have testified.

    Political opinion doesn't prove bias. Yes, they said privately that they think Trump is an idiot. As have approximately 200 million other Americans.

    Strzok also argued for investigating Hillary more aggressively. Why would he do that if he was 'biased' against Trump?

    Neither he nor anyone else in the FBI leaked the existence of the Trump/Russia investigation before the election. If they were in the tank for Hillary, wouldn't they have done so?

    If you haven't read the entirety of Strzok's testimony that was released recently, I would urge you to do so. It's pretty interesting, and I think it might change your mind.

    Ok - I have no idea what's in the report. I don't really know why Mueller shut down at this point, given that there appear to be numerous investigative threads left ongoing. But maybe the report will clarify that - maybe they've all been closed. Or maybe they feel that the situation is now under control, and so any remaining work can proceed via normal FBI/DOJ channels.

    The reason I asked whether you thought the results were invalid is because you said that Mueller 'blew it'. I'm wondering what you meant by that, if the results are unchanged/unaffected.

    No American President should be treated to the level of persecution this President has. This should not be allowed ever again. We have elections to choose the President, we should never undermine this with devious unfounded persecution as plan B.

    You know I love your Marzy - but this is about as absurd a statement as there can be - there was clear indication of Russian intervention (there is no doubt about this - as the indictments of multiple Russian agents prove) - not to check that is negligent at best and criminal at worst - the beauty of this democracy is that no-one is above the law - and a proper investigation when there is evidence of tempering is right - if this tempering proves no collusion, great, but not to investigate it is 100% stupid and not American.

    Not the same at all. We had a crime committed. We all knew what the crime was and specifically to whom.
    We just did not know how high up the chain of command the criminal was. Although even many Republican knew Tricky Dick was indeed Tricky Dick.
    He was not persecuted, he would have been impeach with the evidence of why in clear view to all.
    Believe me, it was not the same. In spite of the claims of Democrats, of abundant evidence of collusion by this President, the is no evidence of any crime committed by any one, including the President. Let impeachment begin if there is, but there is not.

    However, I am not so sure the trail is so devoid of evidence that people did not collude to bring this President down.

    No sir! I can not accept your tactics or your apparent misunderstanding.. Yes, perhaps the Russians were attempting whatever, but indictment of Russians does not require a Special Council nor will this ever amount to beans. No one suggest that we not check, although Obama, the President and chief executive officer of the US at the time, apparently did nothing. There was no justification what so ever in attempting attach this aggression to the incoming President. Worse yet, interfere with his Constitutional authority to handle the possible Russian aggression as is the responsibility of the Chief Executive.
    The phrase you guy bandy about, "No one is above the law" is pure bullshit. The President is the Chief Executive under the Constitutions and as such, the Chief law enforcement officer in our Republic. Any authority by any other person, must come because the President delegated the authority.

    There is a pretty clear parallel between the Watergate physical break-in at the DNC, and the Russiagate electronic break-in at the DNC.

    Both are crimes.

    This isn't a monarchy, no matter how much you wish it was.

    Guess you've also forgotten about the usual conservative cry of 'state's rights!'. I'm pretty sure that NY State has law enforcement officers that the President has no authority over.

    As far as I know the results have not been made public yet.

    But my point was, you were complaining that there wasn't a crime to investigate. There was.

    The party's over
    It's time to call it a day
    They've burst your pretty balloon
    And taken the moon away

    It's time to wind up the masquerade
    Just make your mind up the piper must be paid

    The party's over
    The candles flicker and dim
    You danced and dreamed through the night
    It seemed to be right just being against him

    Now you must wake up, all dreams must end
    Take off your makeup, the party's over
    It's all over, my friend :cheers:

    Maybe don't elect a criminal next time, then?

    Yes you are entirely correct. I should have said Chief law enforcement officer in our Federal Republic. The Constitution leaves the Sheriff in charge of their district
    in the States. Not sure all States handle this the same, but it is a State issue.

    You seem to have no point, you just said, it is being investigated by normal due process.

    Good. I should hope you brush up some. It was a rather ignorant statement, the kind a loser makes.
