Should we be prepared for a Mueller report letdown?

[yaesu]

Last night & again today I'm hearing reports from MSM & a few progressive radio hosts that the few leaks that are coming out of the JD is pointing toward a big letdown as far as tRump indictments or any mention of tRump committing crimes. Rod Rosenstein has stated in the past that there will be no one in the report that hasn't been charged with crimes. Its not law, its just his policy. Also, plan on tRump weaponizing the report, using it to say See, I'm innocent, it was a witch hunt.

Even though I know in my heart that the tRump crime family has committed numerous crimes I also have had a sinking feeling that they will get way with it. I hope mine & others suspicions are wrong but if not I hope the House goes hot & heavy for impeachment (he gained office by breaking rules & laws) & the NY JD goes after the tRump crime family. I never get my hopes up when it comes to Justice in this country, especially crimes committed by the rich & powerful.

1. It may be their latest spin. n/t

[emulatorloo]

10. Yes n/t

[C_U_L8R]

2. Remember Chicken Little?

That's Trumps PR strategy lately... breathless shadow campaigns claiming the Report is about to drop... again and again until we all become numb and tired of it.

[Turbineguy]

3. What?

And have a recession and a war for nothing?

[nykym]

4. Remember these

so called reports are comming from the tRump DOJ, his lawyers and the MSM (need ratings).
NOT MULLER!

[ret5hd]

5. I hope for the best and am prepared for the worst.

[Different Drummer]

11. This. n/t

[COLGATE4]

6. Fitzmas 2.0?

[yaesu]

7. could be. I forgot all about Fitzmas ;o) nt

[emulatorloo]

9. No it is not the same at all. See my post below

[emulatorloo]

8. Mueller's indicted lots of people and flipped many witnesses. This ain't "Fitzmas" at all

There is absolutely no comparison what so ever.

[yaesu]

13. It reality, the Mueller investigation is much more massive, has already sent people to prison

flipped many of those involved in crimes & covers crimes that would never have been seen as possible back in the day. From run of the mill fraud to working as an agent of a foreign country to subvert an election & profit from it.

[emulatorloo]

14. And we're gonna see a lot more

Some knowledgeable talking head who knows how Mueller’s built cases says

- he puts a ton of information in his court fileings (yes he has)
- he’s probably waiting to seek indictment of the family members until late in the game. For one reason that he knows Trump will go fucking nuts and really shut the whole thing down. But the evidence will already all be out there in the courts and in public.

19. You're right, but if the big fish escapes ...

I see the comparison in the level of letdown felt by the remaining sane people in this country.

[emulatorloo]

24. Nixon "escaped" but he was ruined/destroyed

We’ll see what happens. We don’t yet know what will happen.

[COLGATE4]

22. With Mueller's report today I rest my case.

[emulatorloo]

23. Sorry you don't know what's in the report

None of us do ...yet

But we will eventually

[COLGATE4]

31. Still disagree?

[Joe941]

12. I'm going to lose it if tRump isn't indicted.

[leftynyc]

15. Then be prepared to lost it

He's not going to be indicted while in office. Perhaps there are sealed indictments for the second he leaves and who knows what the SDNY is going to come up with but I doubt very much donnie will be indicted. Junior and Jarad, on the other hand.......

[theboss]

17. That likely ain't happening

I think there's a 20 percent chance that the final act of this drama is a Don Jr indictment. But I'm not counting on that.

It honestly feels like American politics for the last 20 years has one side waiting for some miracle that reverses what just happened. It's not a healthy way to live as a person or as a country.

[MH1]

20. +1000 to your last two lines. nt.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

27. He won't be - not because he's innocent but because in 1973 and again in 2000

the Office of Legal Counsel issued memos presenting their legal opinion that a sitting president can't or shouldn't be indicted. The DoJ has accepted that opinion although it's not an actual law and it never has been tested in court.

[theboss]

16. I don't know what anyone's expectations are to begin with

If you are expecting something that will galvanize the country into immediate impeachment, you are almost certainly going to be disappointed.

[yaesu]

18. I try not to get my hopes up but I was expecting at least an indictment of a family member

but I may be disappointed.

[Poiuyt]

21. Remember that the bar has been set VERY high

People who are rich and famous usually get off, even if the are guilty. They can afford high priced lawyers who know all the tricks. In Trump's case, it's even higher. He has such a rabid following that prosecutors will be afraid to indict or punish him in any way. (e.g. Nancy Pelosi). Before any impeachment or indictments, the prosecutors will need layer upon layer of evidence of serious wrongdoing. They know that the cult members will be out with torches and pitchforks, so they'll need to make damn sure that they can prove without any shadow of a doubt that Trump and/or his spawn are guilty as sin of the highest crimes.

There has never been a case like this in American history. I just don't see any politician or prosecutor risking their career over a case that could ruin them.

26. On a side note, does anyone know if Mike Flynn was ever sentenced?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

28. Not yet, his sentencing was postponed.

[CentralMass]

30. Thank you. That is kind of puzzling.

[demosincebirth]

29. I'm preparing for it.
