Bogie56 Posted March 27, 2019 Author Share Posted March 27, 2019 Trump crows that this should never be allowed to happen to another President but takes no responsibility for the actions of his own campaign which brought about the investigation in the first place. Wasn't this the criticism of Hilary Clinton? That she would not take responsibility? She finally did and look what that got her ... nothing. Surely interacting with a foreign government to get stolen information on your opponent cannot be allowed to be the new norm in American politics. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Mueller’s office in recent days has been handing off a series of its cases to federal prosecutors across the government as it closes up shop, including the mystery subpoena fight that’s been ongoing since last year. ... ..... use of 'robustly' is not bluster or gratuitous. That word strongly suggests that the handoffs from Robert Mueller's office are alive and kicking, and that the Washington U.S. Attorney's office could be another troubling front for the president and the White House." ........ https://www.politico.com/story/2019/03/27/mueller-grand-jury-1238861 1 Link to post Share on other sites
