As GOP balks, McConnell shuts down bill to protect Mueller

Have said many times that the HRC deeds look illegal to me at face value. As to out of control, I can't say because I don't know what Mueller has uncovered. Without that it looks like they are going off on tangents. The evidence in hand and that obtained from cooperating defendants might have triggered other searches and avenues to investigate. If it ever is released in his report I think we will know more. The pressure to fire someone has shifted to Rosenstein, so if he goes the scope of the investigation may be narrowed. It could be closed without any report too, because I don't think the GOP folks in Congress will do anything about it. For the US, closing it without finalizing it is the worst scenario. It will further divide us for years to come and possibly trigger violence. They have been looking at questionable campaign contributions through various PACs among other things. https://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/commentary/2018/04/05/putins-proxies-helped-funnel-millions-gop-campaigns

MSG Jay Jackson - Has this turned into an out of control investigation? Benghazi was an out of control investigation. IRS was an out of control investigation. Email server was an out of control investigation. Not because they weren't legit investigations but due to the GOP was never satisfied with the final report and would continuously demand a continuation, more hearings, more reports that would come to similar conclusions. The FBI did look at the server during the investigation as well as other laptops associated to the investigation. Loretta recused herself after the tarmac chat which is why the FBI and Comey did all the talking. All you are doing is drumming up the usual "it's not fair there was no indictment of HRC" commentary we continue to hear on far right conservative media sources. It's been 15 months and there's a reason why Trump, Sessions, GOP have not followed through on their threats to "lock her up".

1SG John Millan - LMAO! No. ROFLMAO! Sessions recused himself because of his about contacts with Russian officials so I find it funny that you state he is part of the Mueller movement. Rosenstein was directed to write a report about Comey, HRC investigation, and lack of confidence for Sessions and Trump. If only Trump hadn't deviated and say on national TV that he'd fire Comey regardless of that memo and how the Russian investigation was more on his mind than anything that was in the memo, perhaps Rosenstein wouldn't have appointed a special investigator to look at obstruction of justice in conjunction with the Russian counter-intelligence investigation. Stop defending a bad liar. An FBI leadership and staff that is predominantly Conservative and registered Republicans are bias? Thanks for the laughs. Trump was screwed the moment he added lie after lie after lie. "I fired Comey because he was ineffective and incompetent." That was too difficult for Trump to say cause that's not why he fired him; thus, he's screwed. Spare me the HRC email BS.

That's the problem. The GOP are turning on Mueller, FBI, and DoJ. Neither Ryan or McConnell are going to contest Trump if he fires Mueller or Rosenstein. The RNC is currently working overtime on an information operations campaign to discredit everyone associated with the investigation. Even Dem leaders are now saying it would be bad for them to discuss impeachment with mid-terms ahead because they don't want to piss off the Trump (GOP-Dem) base. That's how bad things are in America. Both parties are afraid of Trump and the less than 45% of Americans that support him. How sad is that?

MAJ James Woods I certainly won't argue there. Our entire political system is sad.

I am of the opinion that most of that is political apathy. The Dems don't want to irritate his base for fear that it may motivate more of them to the polls, which is a major threat since barely anyone votes in midterms.

Running on a platform of impeachment (whether real or perceived) might just be a bad idea because it could make people view the investigation as a witch hunt. There is a growing percentage that already feels that way; although, most of those people currently are probably Trump voters, not Independents.

MAJ James Woods - Both sides are active. DNC filed suit today against Trump team, Russia, and WikiLeaks for allegedly interfering with Election 2016. Trump brought Giuliani aboard for his support as well.

CWO3 (Join to see) - I saw that. I assumed it's a civil lawsuit as a messaging platform reminding the public that their organization was hacked by criminals associated with the Trump campaign, Russia, and WikiLeaks. The DNC and DCCC are still advising their politicians to avoid impeachment rhetoric.
