#1 Translation: "Nothing has worked so far. Maybe we can bait him into doing something stupid. The 500th time's the charm!"

#2 Mueller lives behind an iron curtain.
He never says anything publicly.
He never talks to anyone outside the walls of his office.
He is as quite as a mouse during all of this.
He keeps his thoughts to himself.
He keeps everyone in the dark about everything.
The only communications is via formal court filings.
When the VP tells him to wrap it up, he says nothing.
When Congressional committees hold hearings and then says there was no collusion, he says nothing.
When Guilliani says we will fight you in court he says nothing.

A martial arts instructor once told his class "The big mouth in the gang is the fool, the guy in the gang you want to be wary of is the quite one."

Someone needs to drag Mueller before Congress and start telling him to respond for the record. Only then will he have to admit that he has nothing and this witch hunt ends.

#3 Henever talks to anyone outside the walls of his office.
He is as quite as a mouse during all of this.

No, he plays the Deep State leaking game with his allies in the Legacy Infotainment Enterprises.

#4 No, he plays the Deep State leaking game with his allies in the Legacy Infotainment Enterprises.

That's it - as soon as I heard about the 'revelation' of Trump's response (in January) to Mueller a few days ago, the first thing I thought about was 'Mueller leaked again'. My only question was 'why the long delay?', since it didn't have the impact that other ~~leaks~~ 'revelations' had.

#5 Congress is the only body that can impeach Trump. That's not going to happen unless the Dems win Congressional elections or unless Rinos and Dems unite. Besides, what impeachable crimes have been committed?

Mueller's activities fall under the DOJ which falls under the Exective Branch. Trump can fire anyone in the Exective Branch for cause or no cause at all--at least that's how it is supposed to work.

Insideously, like a cancer, the deep state and fourth branch of goverment has been created and metastasized. It has become an albatross around our necks.

#6 Trump's name staring with a 'T' and ending with 'rump' can lead to impeachment.

Impeachment and conviction are purely political, if the necessary majorities and Congress want the President gone, he is gone. No judicial review or recourse.

#7 ...just guts, as the previous 6 years before him showed which were lacking.

#8 "If Trump was able to pardon himself and the whole issue just went away---the corporate mainstream media would suddenly be void of it's biggest news distraction in the last year and a half."

That seems a bit naive. They'd have a decades worth of frothing over a pardon.
