One thing that frustrates me about the effort to discredit the Mueller investigation.

In any FBI investigation the the collection of information and the conduct of the probe is kept secret. That means nobody really knows what information they have or don't have. It means that any claim that there was no collusion or that the dossier if fake is disingenuous. Whenever these statements are made in the news media, I never hear anyone bring that up.

Every nonsense, untruth, and illogical comment/s go unchallenged. To do so would get in the way of their neutrality. "Sarcasm."

He had a burning desire to let us know what a sanctimonious asshole he is and to help defeat Hillary.

well, yeah, they'd show it -- when it's time to go in front of a judge and/or jury.

we're still in the investigative stage for much of this. that means, no, they won't show it.

yet.


but the morans see "experts" on tv (because any idiot they put on tv must be an "expert&quot saying they'd have shown it by now, and they think therefore that there is no proof and that the investigation is somehow biased.

Its also true that the right wing believes there was a plot within the FBI to help Hillary and hurt Trump. During the last election the Trump campaign was under FBI investigation. McCabe, Strzok and the others the RW are accusing knew that. If word had leaked that Trump was under FBI investigation that would have hurt Trump. It would have been very easy for a any of the people the RW are fingering to have leaked. Yet no one did. So there must not have been an effort to sabotage Trump.
