    The Mueller investigation has fatigued me against this kind of thing. It had way more potential to get Trump removed from office on every level, and just got put in a box and forgotten about.

    We already know Trump is a rapist, this was found to be true in a court of law. We know as fact he was good friends with Epstein, the proof is already out there. Neither of these undeniable facts have caused a moment’s reflection on the part of his supporters, so I just can’t think what could possibly be in those files that would materially change anything.

      The Mueller report aftermath makes me so angry. It said that Mueller wasn’t allowed to press charges against the President, but that Trump wasn’t innocent and that Congress had a duty to impeach. But the fucking White House simply lied about what it said before releasing the report, and people believed them.

      When asked if Mueller said he would have prosecuted Trump if he hadn’t been the sitting President, Mueller said “Yes.”

        …and then when he was no longer president and was prosecuted, it took so long that he was president-elect by then so was given absolutely no consequences.

          That was a wild episode of the USA show. Will this man spend life in jail, or get away with it by becoming “the leader of the free world” (AGAIN)!? Tune in next week to find out!

          It’s wild that they spent 3 years working on other cases when they already had a complete Obstruction investigation in the Mueller report. Those charges should have been filed in 2021, but they never were.
