      Michael's basic argument is that unless the maximalist argument (i.e. Steve Bannon execute for treason, a la Louise Mensch) is proven, then there's nothing of value in the Mueller investigation. That's pretty obviously not the case.https://twitter.com/mtracey/status/1113533994644250624 …

      Trump has been surrounded by scammers and crooks for his entire career, so of course the Full Mueller Report will contain embarrassing info. But the whole point was to uncover a treasonous conspiracy. Absent that, the entire thing was a fraud no matter what incidentally comes out

      My basic argument is that the Mueller investigation was launched on the basis of a purported conspiracy that took place between Trump and Russia. Having found no such conspiracy, the investigation was launched on false pretenses and was thus a fraud.

      So every criminal investigation that concludes there's insufficient proof of guilt is worthless from the start? That's an interesting standard...

      There was no discernible crime being investigated. The FBI investigation was launched on false pretenses. It was predicated on a fraud.

      Huh? The crime that was being investigated was the possibility that people with the Trump campaign, with or without Trump's knowledge, conspired with Russian agents in the latters' activity to influence the election.

      And what was the basis for suspecting that such a crime occurred? Nothing. It was predicated on nothing but wild fantasy. A fiction.

          Yeah, you've got a point there. It's not as if Trump repeatedly made clear that he welcomed Russian agents' theft of documents from American political organizations that embarrassed his opponent.

          trump fired james comey because he was looking into the russia thing, correct? so as a result of comey being fired, that was when mueller was brought in, correct? I am confused as to why he fired comey if there was nothing to it...? odd

          Aren’t you referring to your claim that Maxine Waters “assaulted” you. You claim that the investigation was based on a fraud even as Papadopolous plead guilty & went to jail for lying to the FBI about his foreign contacts. Don’t forget Carter Page who’s been on the radar for yrs

          The Wikileaks politically motivated actions, Trump being dumb and asking Russia for the emails afterwards, attempts at backchannel establishment, D. Trump Jr's enthusiasm regarding getting potential ammo against Clinton from Russians, Manafort being a player AT ALL, idk.

          At the time the two Donnies were lying their asses off about the Russian meeting, their business connections to Russia, and they were in bed with Paul Manafort. One would have to be the biggest Trump taint-licker of all time to think there was no basis for investigation.

          The fantasies got so wild, some people actually claimed Don Jr. eagerly met with a Russian lawyer who he'd been told wanted to offer dirt on Clinton as part of the Kremlin's effort to help Trump! Total fiction, of course. 🙄
