Maddow making key legal point — Mueller has *not* even charged other known crimes like the hacking, yet — he’s beginning with the fraud and conspiracy around election communications.

4. I give some credit

to Angus King who during the Senate hearings implored some one to do something

"My problem is, I talk to people in Maine who say the whole thing is a witch hunt and it's a hoax 'because the president told me,'" King said, arguing that the issues of Russian election meddling and alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia should be separate.
"We cannot confront this threat, which is a serious one, with a whole of government response when the leader of the government continues to deny it exists."

5. She seemed to be holding back tears when talking about this.

6. I thought so too

7. These conservative co-consipirators need to go. She expresses what we all feel. FINALLY!

Which is why she came into work on her day off: dedication to the truth. Mueller is going to flush out all the criminals, these RINO conservative crooks and traitors. YES!!! Justice may be slow in coming, but it's coming...Mitch, Paul, Mike and even Benedict Donald.

8. Mueller was smart to make these initial indictments apolitical

Had he keyed in on the DNC or Podesta hacks, he would have been accused of partisan motives, of "taking a side".

Yesterday's indictments put the focus on the Russians, and that was a masterful, pre-emptive stroke.

10. Yay, Mueller!

9. I teared up when I watched the segment this morning.

Hopefully, this is the beginning of the end of the assault on democracy.
