That does not address why Mueller has let Trump get away with it.	triron	Jul 2019	#6
For the umpteenth time, Mueller didn't indict him because the OLC memos	The Velveteen Ocelot	Jul 2019	#8
Why wasn't Jr. indicted?	ecstatic	Jul 2019	#9
And some others. Mueller also didn't have to indict Trump to accomplish what I said.	triron	Jul 2019	#11
You said:	sheshe2	Jul 2019	#108
Possibly because the evidene didn't support indictment??	AncientGeezer	Jul 2019	#19

Thank you! About time someone spoke up about this.	triron	Jul 2019	#35

Yes, Really. All you need is probable cause.	Solomon	Jul 2019	#45

Former prosecuter from SDNY says most indictments are the result of circumstantial evidence	Cetacea	Jul 2019	#130
So why would the OLC memo limit his scope??	triron	Jul 2019	#131
I repeat, same question. Really curious about your statement.	triron	Jul 2019	#132
There are ongoing probes and pending indictments.	Cetacea	Jul 2019	#133
Thank you for the explanation/clarification.	triron	Jul 2019	#134
Sure. I'm guessing that the real "meat" lies in the Grand Jury testimonials.	Cetacea	Jul 2019	#135

You need evidence for a grand jury. You cannot just indict someone.	wasupaloopa	Jul 2019	#57
(Rolls eyes) nobody is talking about indicting without evidence.	Solomon	Jul 2019	#58
Evidence isn't proof...Ok wow.. Evidence is the basis of "proof"	AncientGeezer	Jul 2019	#62

Attacking our elections systems is tantamount to an attack on democracy and our national security.	triron	Jul 2019	#105
Then I guess you don't know what is.	onenote	Jul 2019	#118
Actually not....We have to declare a war...	AncientGeezer	Jul 2019	#65
That is patently untrue...we do not have to declare a war	Baltimike	Jul 2019	#66
For Treason you need a "war"....	AncientGeezer	Jul 2019	#75
Sort of. You need an "enemy", which is strictly defined	Codeine	Jul 2019	#78
You are DEAD WRONG...like 100% wrong about that.	Baltimike	Jul 2019	#103
Thanks. And besides we will never declare war against a rival nuclear power. Won't happen.	triron	Jul 2019	#107

I think these naysayers are referring to the treason as defined in the U.S. constitution	triron	Jul 2019	#115
