report this will be, I bite my tongue as I say it , a nothingburger. I hope and pray I am wrong, but looking at it from Mueller’s perspective there had to be indisputable, beyond reasonable doubt evidence to charge the criminal president. Looks like there is tons of evidence but not enough to take the extraordinary step of indicting a president. We have all been once again conned by the media who has enjoyed incredible rating. Young reporters getting Pulitzer’s for what? Looks like a nothingbuger. Excuse me, I must now take my leave to vomit and choke on my own words. This criminal president is going to get away it’s it all.

and no ability to pardon JI7 Mar 2019 #1

SDNY is federal, so those crimes are pardonable, but crimes charged by The Velveteen Ocelot Mar 2019 #2

He can't pardon himself. LiberalFighter Mar 2019 #4

Says who? Brett "I Love Beer" Kavanaugh will totally let him pardon himself. OliverQ Mar 2019 #13

Is that true ? PTWB Mar 2019 #14

Nobody has ever tried so it's unknown, The Velveteen Ocelot Mar 2019 #22

No, "most" don't say that. former9thward Mar 2019 #75

Citations, please? I haven't seen many who think it can be done, and a lot who can't. The Velveteen Ocelot Mar 2019 #79

Of course you gave no citations either. former9thward Mar 2019 #83

All righty, then: The Velveteen Ocelot Mar 2019 #84

Fat Donnie seems to think otherwise. LastLiberal in PalmSprings Mar 2019 #31

The idea is absurd. It's as if Trumpy can declare himself a king, and we're all his subjects. But... Eyeball_Kid Mar 2019 #82

His real crimes are at the federal level, though FellsPointLib Mar 2019 #3

He has decades of real crimes. Mueller sent evidence of crimes he FOUND to SDNY blm Mar 2019 #5

If he had "decades of real crimes" why has no one prosecuted him? former9thward Mar 2019 #76

Welcome to DU. Glad you decided to post after all this time. rzemanfl Mar 2019 #6

One post in six and a half years! ZZenith Mar 2019 #8

what's your accusation exactly? FellsPointLib Mar 2019 #36

I am certain our differences are much greater than that! ZZenith Mar 2019 #39

Like what? FellsPointLib Mar 2019 #40

So you made more than one post in six and a half years? ZZenith Mar 2019 #53

Hello. ahoysrcsm Mar 2019 #68

Trump can't be indicted under Justice Dept. policy. This isn't Mueller's fault. pnwmom Mar 2019 #9

Can't this policy be changed by an Attorney General? Generic Brad Mar 2019 #28

Yeah, so? MUELLER can't change it. And nobody ever thought William Barr was an ally. pnwmom Mar 2019 #33

You say this as if there's some law that makes this illegal ... mr_lebowski Mar 2019 #29

It would be illegal if, as many believe, Assange and Wikileaks are really a Russian operation. pnwmom Mar 2019 #35

No, that's still not illegal ... mr_lebowski Mar 2019 #42

Federal law prohibits ANYONE from soliciting from a foreign source anything of value for a campaign. pnwmom Mar 2019 #43

So MAAAYBE Roger Stone could be in trouble. But he's not even indicted for it, is he? mr_lebowski Mar 2019 #44

They're not done with Roger Stone. No one has any idea what he's going to admit to pnwmom Mar 2019 #45

Okay, information can have 'value' but this is campaign FINANCE law we're dealing with mr_lebowski Mar 2019 #52

You're assuming that the FBI wasn't taping the Russians and Wikileaks and their conversations pnwmom Mar 2019 #55

Good talk, and obviously I'm hoping for the best, but I'm pessimistic ... mr_lebowski Mar 2019 #56

The things of value didn't have to come from Russia. Wikileaks and Assange are also foreign sources. pnwmom Mar 2019 #57

The Steele Dossier said Russia went to a third party for plausible deniability of their involvement JonLP24 Mar 2019 #66

I agree with your last sentence (as well as everything else you say) JonLP24 Mar 2019 #65

Your Concern is noted. lunatica Mar 2019 #61

New York State and the City of New York say otherwise. nt UniteFightBack Mar 2019 #20

The State of New York has plenty of crimes that are just as serious. The Velveteen Ocelot Mar 2019 #23

If you dig in deep Rural_Progressive Mar 2019 #25

The NY crimes are just as real and the prisons there are much less hospitable. pnwmom Mar 2019 #63

I trust Mueller. If he didnt indict someone it wasnt because they were not obviously guilty Eliot Rosewater Mar 2019 #80

Its possible that this is true. lancelyons Mar 2019 #77

Not buying. Why weren't Americans indicted for conspiring with the Russians?? triron Mar 2019 #54
