Indictment-O-Rama Megathread: Mueller indicts 13 Russians

[BudgieForce]

Why do Trump supporters think anyone cares what happens to Tony Podesta?

Pres should "grant blanket pardon for everybody involved in everything...He’s got to shut this thing down, he’s just got to" - Pat Robertson

Wasn't that the gist of the recent op-ed on the WSJ? I couldn't see it due to paywall, but that I believe was the summary Politico provided.

That is basically what it has come to. It doesn't even seem to matter to them if crimes have or haven't been committed, which is a bit ironic coming from the self-purported "law and order" party. Now conservatives are moving to the position of "just shut it down and issue blanket pardons, this investigation is dragging on too much." I'm sorry, but what, are Republican administrations just immune from the criminal justice system now? No one is supposed to like an investigation, particularly when it is into your "team." The idea of a fair system (or even close to that) is you just have to put up with it, because criminal investigations are never convenient, particularly when you are a bunch of partisan hacks with a lot invested in the outcome.

And to think, the fate of this investigation lies in the tiny hands of the POTUS, aka a likely target of the investigation who does little else but watch Fox news all day.

There's a song in Into the Woods that fits with the current situation. It's called the Last Midnight.

Watching conservatives trying to turn this story into a "Podesta Indictment" watch is quite pathetic.

[Inmate Trump]

“Russia has been eager to meet Mr. Trump for quite sometime and have been reaching out to me to discuss.”

“Lets discuss. We need someone to communicate that DT is not doing these trips,” the official said, referring to Trump. “It should be someone low level in the campaign so as not to send any signal.”

I don't get it. Even if Podesta does get in trouble, it's still the wrong Podesta.

Don't say that too loud.  You might puncture their illusions.

They play by football rules so Tony is on "our team" so him getting in trouble is suppose to score points for them somehow

Which is stupid. If Podesta goes down, it's not going to lead to Hillary. It's not going to take the heat off Trump either. Its just so pathetic.

Words are cheap -last I checked neither the House or Senate has moved to pass bills protecting Mueller's investigation from White House interference.  

Not that I have any faith in Congress, but it's worth noting that Corker, McCain, and Flake despise Trump and have nothing to lose at this point. That makes 51.

And I hope Dems are preparing something, because it's blatantly obvious that the right wing media and many Republican politicians are already laying the groundwork for the firing of Mueller, no doubt with Trump's blessing.

I would say there is a zero percent chance that this is true.

Trump has to know if he fires Mueller, everything gets leaked, right?

The sad part is that there is a large number of people who will say President Obama is the most corrupt person on this list.

Agony is also on topic, especially since it applies to both pro- and anti-Trumpers for now.

“Don’t think this is a coincidence,” Hannity said. “Last week right here on this program, we had stunning revelation after revelation, day after day, about Hillary Clinton, Uranium One, the fake news dossier.” 
Mueller had to act because Hannity was exposing him!
HAHA he's lost his mind!

[Virginiá]

Well as Hannity himself has said before (iirc), he isn't a journalist. He's basically paid to be a super partisan hack on TV. I doubt even he believes half the stuff he says.

In regards to Fox News, they are more like an arm of the Republican Party, regardless of what image of themselves they try to portray. If they were just reporting news, they wouldn't have their people running defense for the GOP like this. The way most of them have handled all things Russiagate is almost exactly how you'd expect the RNC spokespeople to work.

It's great seeing both parties squirm from some rich guys being investigated for financial crimes.
