It's Official, Russians Corrupted The Election

It is no longer simply a Special Counsel investigation of Trump and his crooked family.
The entire FBI including the supporters of Comey and Mueller are on the job and will not stop digging. Trump is truly a moron.

A majority of President Donald Trump's voters surveyed by the left-leaning Public Policy Polling (PPP) believe he should continue to serve as president even if it's proven that he conspired with Russia to sway the 2016 election.

Just 14% of Trump voters said he should resign in the event that special counsel Robert Mueller or the congressional intelligence committees find that he colluded with Russia. On the other hand, 77% of Trump voters believe he should remain in office if the collusion claims are proven true.

And these assclowns wrap themselves in the flag and call themselves patriots?

[Rajoo]

Perhaps the GOP can get Trump to resign for about $5 Billion or so.
In the long run this will be cheaper for the country.
But would Trump quit? Doubt it, but worth making an offer he should not refuse.
If Trump does fire Mueller, what if the GOP House and Senate cringe in fear of Trump and do nothing?
Or they could stall the process by beginning an investigation of the Justice Department as Trump and ssome of the Reublicans have been asking for.

Trump could retire and do good things to make history kind to his memory like Jimmy Carter has, this is all ego and gaming whoever he can. Just like Pootin is gaming him although he can't see it, and he will go down as Pootin's fool that was the worst President this country ever had.

It seems to me that the ground is being laid to fire Mueller.

I am basing this on the heavy hyped up anti-Mueller sound coming from the Trump admin and Fox.

[donquixote99]

I make odds of 98% or more that if Mueller is fired, an attempt will be made to impeach Trump, all kinds of constitutional hell will break lose and the country will be up for grabs.

I make odds of 40% or so that we then wind up morphing into a Russian-style kleptocracy that pretends to be a constitutional republic, maybe Trump at the top, maybe not.

Trump seems to be enamored by the governing styles of folks like Duterte, Jong-Un, Putin et-al., so I'll put my wager on #2. I don't think the people of this country will be bothering to do much to prevent it.

[Oerets]

That is my fear also. I believe it has already began. Think of the National land just released and now can be sold of.

Trump is not going to leave office like it to much. The investigation will find illegalities recommend charges. But with the Reps in power nothing will happen.

FBI warned Trump in 2016 Russians would try to infiltrate his campaign

And the usual push back from the Dotard administration, attack the messenger.

"That the Republican and Democrat nominee for president received a standardized briefing on counterintelligence is hardly a news story," said Raj Shah, a White House spokesman. "That NBC News hears about the contents of this classified conversation due to an inappropriate leak is a news story."

And here is the catch 22.

The situation was complicated by the fact that the FBI had already become aware of contacts between members of the Trump campaign and Russia, and was beginning to investigate further. Former CIA Director John Brennan has said he told the FBI about a pattern of contacts the CIA observed between members of the Trump team and Russians, and former FBI Director James Comey said the bureau then began investigating in July 2016.

Montoya and other former FBI officials told NBC News the FBI would not have wanted to compromise that investigation by saying too much in the counterintelligence briefing of Trump.

By the time of the warning in late July or August, at least seven Trump campaign officials had been in contact with Russians or people linked to Russia, according to public reports. There is no public evidence that the campaign reported any of that to the FBI.

Expect Trump to slam NBC and MSM regarding leaks along with the FBI.

"The top congressional committee investigating Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election has set its sights on the Green Party and its nominee, Jill Stein.
Dennis Trainor Jr., who worked for the Stein campaign from January to August of 2015, says Stein contacted him on Friday saying the Senate Intelligence Committee had requested that the campaign comply with a document search." Buzzfeed

While I'm no fan of Jill and her merry band of lefty puritans, this is nucking futz.
