Robert Mueller knew there was no collusion the first time he read the Steele dossier, which reads as if it was written by a high school sophomore who spent most of his time huffing inhalants behind the gym. (Snip)
At the latest, the indictment of 12 Russians on 02/16/2018 should have been the end of his “collusion” investigation. Why did Mueller keep going? To entrap the president into obstructing justice, of course.
Mueller had a plan. He would use his witchhunt to anger the president enough that he would try to stop the investigation and if he didn’t,

I listened to an interesting interview with Trump's lawyer (not Guiliani) who talked about how he confronted Mueller when Mueller was demanding an interview with Trump. He kept asking Mueller what he wanted to ask Trump that he hadn't already asked him, and Mueller couldn't answer, so no interview.

There is no reason other than entrapping President Trump in an obstruction of justice charge for the Mueller Investigation to continue after Mueller determined that Trump did not “collude” with the Russians to steal the election from Hillary Clinton.

Herr Mueller KNEW from the beginning that Trump was NOT GUILTY. Hence his attempt to entrap him in obstruction. There was NO crime to begin with, so how in tarnation could he be expected to obstruct what didn't even exist. Nixon committed a crime in Watergate, then attempted a cover-up. BIG DIFFERENCE! The only thing Nixon and Trump have in common is that they both were elected president. Mueller attempted to entrap Trump, but Trump and his team of savvy lawyers, outsmarted Mueller. Case closed!! At the outrageous cost of $40 million. EGREGIOUS!!

The ONLY thing Mueller and his team of vindictive Democrat lawyers are good at is entrapment. Process crimes. That's it. They tried to enrage Trump and goad him into doing something that could be construed as obstruction, but Trump wouldn't fall for it. So all he's left with now is this cheap stunt where he walks away leaving a cloud of suspicion hanging for others to create a storm from.

There is no need to charge him for his fraudulent investigation of Trump. Most people that have read it know that Mueller failed to compile any evidence beyond whiney gossip. Mueller looks like a failure and acts like a jerk.
Instead, lets indict him for his involvement with the clearly ILLEGAL NSA database searches by FBI contractors when HE was head of the FBI. Then we can go after him for conflict of interest for ever accepting the prosecutor job because the database searches morphed into the Russia investigation. Mueller was involved at the start of the illegalities he was charged to investigate. He can share a cell will his "higher loyalty" buddy, Comey.

I saw Mueller's press conference live. I immediately remarked to my wife "something's wrong" based on the visual - the suit looked wrong and the tie was cockeyed. Not how he normally looks at all.
Upon reflection, it looked like Mueller either slept in his suit, somebody woke him up, and he ran out to do the press conference because Barr was incommunicado on a flight to Alaska; or he had really gone on a bender the night before. I figure the former was more likely than the latter.
Then I started listening to the sound. Mueller's delivery was shaky and his body language was like he was cowering. Sort of like he was a little kid, mommy's out of the house, and he's gonna steal a cookie from the cookie jar. He knows he shouldn't, does it anyway, and knows he's gonna get spanked once mommy gets home...
Bottom line - tried to re-ignite the impeachment narrative and temporarily succeeded.
Then mommy came home.

Mueller kept it going hoping that 40 FBI agents and 10 Democrat Prosecutors would find something.
Plus, keeping it open allowed the Democrats to regain control of the House. That was a DIRECT consequence of a deliberately prolonged investigation.

The contrast between Mueller and Barr has been shocking. Mueller
woodenly read his statement (that he likely didn’t write) and didn’t add or stray a syllable from it. I wonder how much input he even had in the witch hunt. Compare that to Barr’s calm demeanor. He was completely unfazed by personal insults from the likes of crazy Maisy and nasty Kamala. He didn’t even bother to offer a wise crack in return or twitch an eyebrow.
At the very least I would have publicly thanked their husbands on behalf of the rest of mankind for jumping on the grenades of being married to those
rabid females.

My long serving republican congressman repeatedly lectured me on the integrity of Mueller, as if I were a child, whenever I wrote to him asking why this Witch Hunt continued. Amazing that a rube like me in flyover country got it when this "professional" was clueless. But that is basically the root of the problem in Washington, isn't it......

Wow, what a revelation. Really? Mueller tried to entrap Trump? Geez, so since November, 2016 when it was obvious the deep state tried to entrap Trump, then in March, 2017, when Levin laid out in detail how Mueller and the deep state were in the process of trying to entrap Trump, and then for over two years, Hannity sold pillows as we watched Mueller do nothing but try to entrap Trump, Barr somehow laid low the blatant, open in broad daylight Mueller plan to entrap Trump? Holy cow!!! It must be true then since Barr figured it out! I know, let's do exactly what the DOJ and FBI did to Mueller when he was caught illegally and knowingly holding four innocent men in prison for over twenty years, PROMOTE AND REWARD HIM!! Then we can listen to four guys on the radio for another two years tell us that the deep state shouldn't keep being rewarded for their broad daylight crimes but should be indicted, tried, convicted, and jailed. Say, I just figure that out. I must be a freaking genius!

Sharyl Atkisson made a great point: Trump was trying to obstruct, alright.
But he was not obstructing justice ... he was attempting to obstruct INjustice.
Trying to stop an injustice is not a crime.

Enough of this from the left. Please accept this past election before the next one - just leave the hate behind. You're acting very narcissistic and it's just not good for the country.

Just like he did in trapping a innocent person who he claims was responsible for the Anthrax.

The smartest thing Trump's lawyers did was to give writing answers to Mueller instead of being questioned in person.

Like so many other smart people here have said from the get go. There was no crime committed by PDJT. Mule Ear knew this from the get go and that's why he tried to entrap the President. It didn't work so that's the main reason that bum Mool-er left the door open(again) for the democrats to try impeachment.

Wake up folks. It is obvious to me that this whole thing has hillary's grubby power-grabbing paws all over it! She is not afraid because her tree-climbing friend algore said it in 2000 "there is no legal controlling authority" - this statement is the fall-back line for all the deep state power mongrels and it is time someone held them accountable. Jail Time !!!!!!

I don't think Mueller has the what-it-takes or the courage to entrap potus.
Someone else was/ is pulling his strings. The stunt he pulled was ill conceived and wasn't smart. Moreover, his body language exuded fear...mostly from Barr.
There will be a day of reckoning for Mueller and he knows it.

"What a revoltin' development this is", to paraphrase Chester A. Riley.
We have a pack of twenty some "jowling hackels", lead by Mr. Jowls himself, who wannabe the next pResident in the White House and a mob being egged on by the biggest "sicken chit" who ever haunted the halls of Justice. (Kudos and a hat tip to Mr. Spooner) Oh, that this chicken could be (rotten) egged himself.
Siren Nancy, singing from the rocks, to capsize the Ship of State, with a song about the "I" word. The only "I" word relevant to this situation should be "impaled" as in "impaled by their own Petard"!

The Republicans, with exceptions, are big time wimps. If a conspiracy of Republicans, supported by “Deep State” bureaucratic apparacheks ever attempted a similar coup against a leftist or liberal Democrat presidential candidate or President, by now those conspiring Republicans and their bureaucratic helpers would all be spending years in federal prisons, you can bet your boots on that!

How ironic that much of the B roll on TV supporting commentary about Mueller shows him and his wife going to church.

I think it was Mark Levin that made the point that if Mueller couldn't indict Pres. Trump for obstruction, then why didn't he indict anyone else with obstruction, like his staff or family? Supposedly the President did all this obstruction alone? Presidents don't do anything totally alone.
Mueller was out to get the President from day one, along with Comey and all their cohorts at the Not So Much Justice Dept.

@#8 - Indict Mueller for everything they can throw at him. The more charges the merrier. Makes conviction on something more likely. Let the man behind the curtain do 5 years behind bars.

What irks the hell out of me is these so-called "special" inquisitors who keep on plowing ahead setting up all these process crimes long after they KNOW that they have no case on the original predicate they are tasked with investigating. Mueller is just the latest. Prior to that we had Fitzpatrick schlepping around trying to take down Dick Cheney and having to settle for Scooter Libby when he knew from Day One that Richard Armitrage outed Valerie Plame whose identity was not even protected. Scooter Libby's crime? His account of a conversation didn't jibe with Tim Russert's account and Fitz determined that Russert's was the bona fide account. Meanwhile all the individuals ensnared in the investigation are out thousands of dollars in legal fees and likely wind up with a felony conviction.

Diabolical. Barr figured this out (as did many of us) and put a stop to it. Gensert explains just how Barr did that.
