      Folks: It is possible to believe (as I do) that people very close to Trump will be accused of some very ugly crimes. AND Believe that it violates the spirit of our Constitution to use the word "traitor" to describe Rand Paul's stupid comments.

      One reason [people claim] to oppose Trump is because he doesn't give a shit about the rule of law. You don't fight that by being sloppy about things like due process yourselves.

      Everyone rightly criticized Trump for accusing Peter Strzok of treason. Don't use the term cheaply yourselves.

      As to Republicans who call the investigation a witch hunt? Honestly, the reporting on the Mueller probe has been shitty enough about key issues that I'm not surprised.

          "Meaning." You invented that. I said "show." Your problem, little boy playing with toys, is that you are making false interpretations of what you're looking at. I don't care if you find me untrustworthy. I will continue to laugh at you as a confused little child.

          False interpretations? Some timestamps? The stupidity of a hacker incriminating himself? The technical detail is there for all to see. Or those that *want* to see it. It's not an opinion, a bias, or a ruse. Investigative journalists - like you used to be - should follow it.

          I spend a great deal of time covering "Espionage" (AKA leak) cases. I am well versed in the difference between these things. And, further, pretty fucking committed to defending the principles in the Constitution about wagging this around easily.

          Instead of policing the language of the people upset about the Republican Congress complete abdication of responsibility and active attempts to stop investigations police the people actively attempting to aid the billionaires breaking the law. Friendly advice.

          Excuse me? That's a bizarre comment unless YOU think it's a witch hunt. GOP senators and Congress-folk have at least as much information as we do, and some far, far more. So, if you believe the investigation has merit, then that entire group knows it must as well.

          Your last comment supports what I wrote, assuming your inside info is consonant with the general narrative we've been attacked, and folks aligned with Trump have done some bad stuff. If that's so, no one should be calling it a witch hunt. Paul has at least as much info as I do

          The why is she posting assanine tweets?!? Mueller’s indictments couldn’t be any clearer. He even makes it clear further indictments are coming. DOJ policy dictates they’ll come after the Nov election.

          “DOJ policy dictates they’ll come after November.” No, it doesn’t. It loosely states that no major election-related investigatory revelations should be made within 60 day’s of an election. But: 1) its guidelines, not “policy.” And 2) lot of time left before that window.
