Yes - seriously.
It does not upset me one bit - I love what it is screaming - Guilty!
How many people on Twitter explained it to him in the rudest possible terms?

You know, Mueller knows the GOP is toying with shutting him down and making noise about the whole thing.
It might get some indictments issued sooner rather than later. I hope ihopeihopeihope

Rumor mill chatters during the day seem to be saying some big one is coming very soon. As always, I take those chatters with football stadium size of salt. Then again, tomorrow is Friday, @antisachetdethe is flying, Paulie Ryan may be retiring (per Politico), so the chatters may be on to somethingâŚ
Besides, if those concerted attacks against Mueller from the WH/GOP suggest anything, itâs that they know itâs coming soon and so are in panic.

They are trying their best lol. Not sure if the moron finally gets it â the tweet is not deleted yet.
This seems plausible.Trump allies at Fox and some in the GOP seem to be flailing about Mueller. It is disturbing but also desperate.

Itâs one thing for us to criticize individuals (for example, Julian Assange) for their actions.
But itâs quite another thing to condemn them for being enemies of the state just because the US military, or the CIA, or even a President, tells us to.
Ask Dan Ellsberg.

I felt almost sorry for the guy but he is not qualified to be a federal judge. He knows it. How or why did he even was he nominated? He withdraw himself from consideration.
OT: This is bad.

The easiest way to explain the repeal of net neutrality is to call it censorship.

The WSJ article out tonight indicates that Mueller asked Cambridge Analytica earlier in the Fall âto turn over the emails of any Cambridge Analytica employees who worked on the Trump campaignâ.
WSJ confirms that Cambridge Analytica complied with the request. Though WSJ does not give an exact date (probably to avoid someone burning them the way that somebody burned Manu Raju of CNN last week (and btw I think that it was members or staff of the House Republicans on the Intel Committee that did that)) the article states the request happened before CAâs CEO, Alexander Nix revealed that he had contacted Julian Assange in June 2016 regarding the stolen emails that Assange had claimed he had in in his possession (this is around the same time that CA was retained by the Trump campaign). The article reporting this was published by the WSJ on 10/25/17. So Muellerâs request was sometime in September or October of 2017.
This means Mueller has every email exchange between CA and the entire Trump Digital team, of which Kushner was the head. He has had the emails for weeks if not months. The emails have also been turned over to the House Intel committee. CAâs CEO Nix was interviewed by the House Intel committee today (12/14/17).
This article could explain why the House Intel committee and Fox have been in such a hissy fit to undermine Mueller. If Mueller has these emails and there are incriminating statements regarding the use of stolen material he could be in trouble. This would explain what Iâm seeing/hearing in the rumor mill.

Thatâs a very broad category. For instance I didnât consider WikiLeaks to be a true menace until they clearly revealed themselves as a conduit for the Russian attack on our election (a recent development, donât think it was the case before 2015 but Russian direction could have been and we just didnât know). WikiLeaks wonât be over here planting bombs and Al Queda, ISIS, etc. will if they can.
We have to change our view of secrecy and classification. There is a difference between revealing policy or intent and revealing techniques. There is a serious danger of revealing techniques but there is also a beta-test factor at work in techniques being revealed. whatâs needed more than anything are contingency plans. Everything has to be done on the basis that it may be revealed. Assume thereâs an invisible expiration date on every secret and that the secret will eventually out itself. The more sordid, the more likely and the shorter the shelf-life. So for instance if a vital foreign source is in sudden danger by a public revelation, there should be a plan in place to get them and their immediate family out of there ASAP. Cervantes brings up the case of Daniel Ellsberg. Iâd second that in classing ALL revelations and whistle-blowing as automatically treasonous.
As for those damned Soviet Republican enablers in the Trump administration, Congress and the media (Russian Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and almost all of Fox News), I wouldnât lose any sleep if an angry mob hung them from lamp-posts. The weird thing is they donât view it as treason at all, weâre almost 30 years removed from the Cold War but, in my mid-50s and theyâre all my age or older, itâs like they grew up in a different country. They should think as I do that, even though Moscow has more billionaires right now than NYC, the Russian government is never trustworthy. Trump & Co. doesnât see borders, all they see is money, âA loose affiliation of millionaires and billionaires and babyâ, as Paul Simon sang. And Trumpco is in their debt.
As for the enablers, all they see is the deregulation and tax cuts that Trumpco might still deliver. Thank God for their incompetence, but man do things suck right now.

Hereâs an upvate just for raising my hopes for the night!
No, no - theyâre just saying âIâd like to take a fifthâ, as in bottle of whiskey. And who wouldnât want a nice bottle of whiskey? Well, not me (Iâm more a Chardonnay kind of guy), but for those who are onto the hard stuff, a fifth might just be the ticket. And who are we to judge? /s
