Newly revealed portions of the Mueller report serve as a reminder of where the investigation stopped short in its probe of GOP operative Roger Stone.
If that isn’t a tabloid headline, I don’t know what is.
Who are Rosencrantz and Gildenstern?
I wonder if Mueller is yet lamenting the way in which he handled his investigation and its aftermath. He trusted the process and the institutions far too much and, at this point, he can probably see how this strategy failed. He’d never admit to having any regrets if he does, but I’m guessing he’s not very happy with the way things turned out, nor do I think he considers Bill Barr a friend anymore.
They’re dead. I saw the play. Hamlet really stuck it to those two pricks.
Beat me to it. hahahahahahahahahah
Look - I’m not a lawyer. I didn’t live this stuff 24/7. I didn’t need to. Mueller screwed this up.
The only hope I have is that Mueller has grandchildren who will suffer along with the rest of us for his BS … Oh, it’s departmental blah, blah blah, that I can’t call the POS, criminal enterprise for what it is because I’m not a political hack."
What an egotistical idiot.
Way to go Bob. Heckofva job, Bob!
One other thing - I don’t care if I’m not coherent on this - Muller and his “Oh, i play by the rules” I’m a gentleman bs makes me want to vomit.
That was my point.
More intrigue than you can shake a spear at…
Well, I thought I’d clarify it – gratuitously of course.
Conscience doth make cowards of us all…
These past few weeks give the impression that Trump is losing power and credibility by the day. COVID and his incompetent response are just killing his popularity in uncontrollable ways.
I have to wonder whether Trump can afford the political cost of pardoning Stone at this point. It feels as if the price might be getting a bit high for that kind of extravagance, considering that it is not something that he just has to do.
I think that’s what Stone is afraid of: DELAY of the pardon.
even after
The insolence of office and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes…
“Welcome Back, Cotter”.
Welcome back to the world in which mores (strong norms but not necessarily laws) make our way into controlling our Behavior.
But they don’t, do they? Mores don’t mean a damned thing with Donald Trump.
Trump’s specialty is trampling over mores people like Bob Mueller have observed for years and daring people to hold him accountable by statute.
Laws that can be then interpreted by Trump-friendly individuals
Rim shot.
Rosencrantz and Gildenstern are dead. American democracy may soon follow.
He’s flailing. I still think it’s 50-50 resignation before Jan 20 if not before.
Jeffrey Epstein and Thomas Hofeller?
