4. If Mueller "farmed" this out

Whatever Maggie thinks "farming it out to the SDNY" means, what it actually is is the US Attorney took this action, not Mueller. If Mueller found something that was criminal outside his purview, the proper procedure is to . . . refer it to the proper US Attorney's office.

Mueller did precisely what he was supposed to do if he uncovered evidence of criminal wrongdoing that was outside his purview. As opposed to, let's just say, special counsel Ken Starr, who regularly exceeded his mandate, only to go haring off to a friendly Congress for an after-the-fact expansion of the things he was supposed to investigate. Maybe a special counsel who follows the rules is what's bamboozling you, Mags.

And since when does the subject of an investigation get to dictate the terms of the investigation? "Okay, you can look under the sink, but you can't look in this closet!"

You can take the “reporter” out of Politico but you can’t take the Politico out of the “reporter”

... that tone-deaf saying, "If you haven't done anything wrong, then you don't have anything to worry about" -- regarding, say, an encroaching police state.

He has a handful of people left to give him advice, they are not particularly bright,
he is getting resistance from Congress now, tons of legal problems from hundreds of lawsuits, and only Fox news to tell him he is still popular.

The louder he yells, the more we know reality is hitting home for him.
Everything he touches dies, and I am betting that includes Russia's attempts to control the West.
Sanctions are in effect, the oligarchs are being arrested as they go thru out airports.

He ain't gonna have a good night's sleep for maybe forever.

You knew what Trump was years ago, didn't write a damn thing. Now, you want our clicks and money. You've lost our trust. This country now has to go through this because of you. You, of all media knew better.

Westchester Co Raised girl. Knew of stupid Trump for too many years.
