Trump's Election Hail Mary: Bring Back Bob Mueller and Relitigate Russiagate

President Donald Trump just can’t quit the Russia investigation—and these days, that means that congressional Republicans can’t either, whether they want to or not.

For more than a year, Trump has made clear he expects his allies on Capitol Hill to leverage their investigatory might to provide a full accounting of how Robert Mueller’s two-year long probe came to be.

The brunt of that responsibility to essentially try and prove that it was all an ill-conceived, “deep state”-driven coup has fallen to Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Ever since the Mueller probe ended, Graham has made continual, but forceful, promises to “get to the bottom” of how it began, egged on by the president himself.

That effort got a major boost—or, possibly, a shove—last week after Trump commuted his longtime ally Roger Stone’s 40-month prison sentence. The brazenness of the commutation prompted Mueller, who indicted Stone, to criticize the move in a rare op-ed in The Washington Post—after which Graham tweeted that he would call Mueller to testify in the Judiciary Committee. The op-ed, Graham suggested, made Mueller fair game and, after all, Democrats had requested he testify.

Donny Dumbfuck needs to realize he'll be judged on his mishandling of COVID-19. No one but the most hardcore MAGAt wants to hear his sob story about Russia.

As putin 'contributions' come more into the spotlight with House investigations, court cases, investigatory reporters, etc.
traitor/treason charges will come into play.

and where all the links go. They probably won't allow most testimony, but instead provide their newly edited version. They sure do love to put on a show, but they've over-played themselves. They're boring, predictable, and annoying. Might as well just turn on Fox
