In reply to the discussion: MG. I'm in awe of Mueller's investigation team. [View all]Grammy23
(6,121 posts)10. Bottom line is tRump is a sleezebag who has cut dirty deals
and cheated his whole life and managed to largely get away with those things. Pay a fine here and there, but never have to face serious punishment for his misdeeds/crimes. He bought his way out of the consequences of his behavior. He took that attitude to DC with him, assuming he could lie, cheat and disrespect the Constitution to the point it is meaningless to him. He acts as if he is above the law and expected to be able to do whatever he wanted, including treasonous actions in order to get what he wanted. Now he is discovering that not only is he facing serious charges for his deeds, but thanks to our laws and the people upholding them, he is could very well end up in prison along with the people he pulled into his schemes.
Mueller, on the other hand has dedicated his life to working to uphold the law. He has been dogged in finding out the details of this massive fraud pulled on the people of the U.S. With the tenacity of a bull dog, he has put together a team of experts and professionals who are cut from the same cloth he is. Together they are building all the cases needed to solve the crimes and rid the country of this dishonest bunch of criminals who illegally got installed in our highest elected offices.
Mueller has been given a task that, if it all comes together successfully, may very well be one of the most historic events in our history as a country. tRump and the gang of thugs and thieves thought they could waltz into Washington and rob the treasury and no one could or would stop them. But they underestimated the way our laws work and the people dedicated to upholding our Constitution. tRump let his narcissism overrule what common sense would tell you not to do. He has made one mistake after another with his flawed thinking on how our country works.
For months I have worried that the country and the way it is governed was over as we know it. It sickened me to think tRump might get away with the crime of the ages. Since hearing about Muellers work and seeing how things are panning out, even at this early stage of things,
I am feeling more optimistic than I have since last November. Maybe, at last, we will start to see things swing back to a more normal state and the guilty people end up behind bars. Let us dare to hope....

I'm so used to Repubs failing us, that I keep pinching myself that this one is doing his job. nt

Bingo. You nailed it. The only world they know is the crooked world of NYC real estate.

I read that Manafort is looking at 15 years in prison. So he'd die in prison. He could make a deal.

I was surprised. I didn't think Mueller would be ready until next year, or maybe by Christmas. nt

Mueller has earned a place in history. There will never be a reference to Trump's reign of terror...
