Like, I haven't yet looked up exactly how this would work, but how on earth would one ever prove that someone as dumb as Donald Trump, or any member of his cabinet, had mens rea in an espionage prosecution?

How would you even prove the senile racist old toad we elected as president "knew," to the extent his worthless mind is able to "know" anything, that information was classified?
You would have to be either stunningly ignorant or just a broken person to work for him. Especially after he breaks out the loyalty pledge. That's why the staff is the way that it is.

I imagine that's happening with Trump and his security briefings and all other pertinent information he's supposed to be consuming.
Does Trump have purple stains on his lips too?

****...... THESE........ SCUMBAGS, rotten to the core:

When initially asked to comment on the exchange, Brendan Buck, a spokesman for Ryan, said: “That never happened,” and Matt Sparks, a spokesman for McCarthy, said: “The idea that McCarthy would assert this is absurd and false.”

After being told that The Post would cite a recording of the exchange, Buck, speaking for the GOP House leadership, said: “This entire year-old exchange was clearly an attempt at humor. No one believed the majority leader was seriously asserting that Donald Trump or any of our members were being paid by the Russians. What’s more, the speaker and leadership team have repeatedly spoken out against Russia’s interference in our election, and the House continues to investigate that activity.”

“This was a failed attempt at humor,” Sparks said.

Don't know if the scumbag Republican Congressmen who think this is a ****ing joke/game will ever pull the trigger on Trump himself, but many around Trump that are not above the law are so ****ed. The Trump Organization is a criminal organization* and Trump barely even tries to conceal it. You give a guy like Mueller the power to go through all their records and make people talk, and there is no telling what he will turn up.

* Yeah, I know, I know, Trumpkins think the same about Hillary.

So if there is anything to the Russia story, Mueller will likely find it. And if even if there isn't he could easily go down for obstruction of justice.

Hell of a spot Tump has put himself into. May not even matter if Russia is fake news! Lol

How is "tax cuts and the complete eradication of Medicaid are the only objectives any House should ever have" a RINO? How is it not the exact definition of a total Republican?

If the special prosecutor doesn't get anything on Trump, won't that only strengthen him? Very significantly I might add.

Seems like that might be the shot in the arm Trump needs right now.

Holy **** they appointed Mueller??? Does the AAG want Trump to go down?

This is our best case, assuming there really is fire to all this smoke...

Trump completely embarassed the AAG a few days ago. Sessions will not let this be a real investigation though.

I don't believe Sessions or the admin can control the situation. Mueller gets control of the budget and personnel. Seems that it is on.

Pretty sure Sessions legally could unrecuse himself and fire Mueller at any time. Obviously it would look bad but wtf do they care?

Fun story:

Back in 2004, the Bush wiretap stuff was running out of time and needed reauthorized. Attorney General John Ashcroft (Let the Eaaggggglllleee Sooooooaaaarrrr) was in the hospital and could sign an authorization to extend the program.

The Justice Dept., let by the Assistant AG, had ruled the program was illegal, but Bush's people sped to the hospital to get Ashcroft to sign it. Mueller, then FBI Director, and the Ast. AG raced to the hospital to stop them.

It came to a head and Mueller and the Ast. AG threatened to resign if the program wasn't reworked. Bush relented and reworked the program rather than force their resignations.

The Assistant Attorney General at the time:

James Comey

The walls closing in on a totally unhinged President coupled with NK testing missiles and hacking everything. This whole thing (civilization) could jump off the rails at any second. I gotta admit, this thing isn't as funny anymore.

You mean like when Nixon demanded the AG fire the special prosecutor investigating him, the AG and AAG refused and resigned, so he told the new head of the DoJ (the Solicitor General) to fire the Special Prosecutor?

Nixon resigned in disgrace 10 months later facing certain impeachment and removal.
