Mueller Is Just Laying Low Now To Give Trump The Rope He Needs...

[global1]

to hang himself. Eventually it will be Trump himself that will bring him down. We all know he will say something; tweet something; or do something that will be the cause of his demise.

[lame54]

1. I'm still not convinced there will be a demise

[oswaldactedalone]

15. Trump will walk

Mueller will list him as an unindicted co-conspirator and the Thug Party will do nothing.

[lame54]

32. And then the real fun will start...

Trump will think he's invincible

[bearsfootball516]

2. I don't think that's the case.

Trump does have a habit of putting his foot in his mouth. But I doubt a prosecutor of Mueller's expertise would have a strategy of, do nothing and hope the other person messes up.

[unblock]

6. Every prosecutor dealing with an ongoing criminal organization faces this challenge.

Go with the charges you have? Or let keep letting them rack up more?

[samnsara]

3. every single day trump gives Mueller more shit to investigate!

...this things gonna last forever. Question...can trump be found guilty of any crimes after hes no longer prez?

[dawg day]

11. Yeah, and we forget many of them-

I was just remembering that Dr. Bornstein item, you know, that some Trump thugs burst into his office and seized the medical charts of Trump.
Also Bornstein then admitted that of course Trump had dictated the letter supposedly from the doctor about what amazing health he was in.

Just one minor weirdness that disappeared-- thugs bursting into his dr's office????

[dameatball]

4. I and others have said....this case runs way too deep. Mueller/Trump is just the start.

That is why the GOP cockroaches are resigning among several dozen of his staff.

[malaise]

5. Something more? n/t

[doc03]

7. He hasn't yet? What does he have to do really shoot

someone on 5th Ave.?

[OliverQ]

10. Nah, Giuliani just said today he could murder Comey and not get indicted.

[Kingofalldems]

16. So you're saying Trump can't be touched?

[NewJeffCT]

21. While she's not the last word on this issue

I'd put Asha Rangappa's legal mind against Rudy Giuliani's any day of the week.

Link to tweet

Text of the tweet:

The President cannot pardon himself. The origin of the pardon, which is rooted in the divine right of kings, implies a grantor and a grantee.

Coming soon from Fruity G: An ADA claim that this theory doesn't apply to people who suffer from multiple personality disorder. 🙄

26. I think SCOTUS will rule on that

and prosecution will have to wait until tRump is out of office.
I seriously doubt tRump will run in 2020, and if he does, he will lose.

However if the blue wave takes over congress, impeachment will take him out. That is more likely than Mueller be able to remove him from office.

28. He also has to eat a baby on live TV n/t

[Meadowoak]

30. That's who Trump reminds me of, FAT BASTARD

[beachbum bob]

8. A prosecutor operates to their schedule, not the criminals they investigate

[OliverQ]

9. He already has enough rope to hang himself from Mount Everest.

Doesn't seem to be the reason.

[Hoyt]

12. We assume Mueller is bent on taking trump down. I'm no longer so sure.

Of course, I have never gotten over checking news and DU ever couple of hours, even when sleeping, waiting for Fitzgerald to indict bush and Cheney.

[helpisontheway]

13. Mueller is a Republican..Pretty sure I read that he interviewed

with Trump about a job after the election. Why in the world would any decent human being want to work for Trump?? And no I don’t believe that someone would do it to protect us from Trump. Anyway, I think he will come down hard on the people around Trump but will Trump off scot free. It is an election year and he will not want to interfere with that.

[UTUSN]

14. "Rope" as in "more cowbell" - so I say, more ROPE/more ROPE!1

[Desert grandma]

17. We must change at least

one house of Congress in November to check his power. That is a realistic solution. In the meantime, Mueller works on deliberately and strategically.

[Midnight Writer]

18. I notice R's are purposely mispronouncing Mueller as Mule-er. Nothing is too petty for them.

[FakeNoose]

20. They're getting even for "Boner" and "Rump"

Yes I know the Rep from Ohio's name is John Boehner and I do know how to pronounce it correctly. But for several years I got a sneaky thrill out of calling him Boner, just because. And many other Democrats did the same.

It's all in fun, of course.

25. Mueller isn't a Republican elected official.

However they have no respect for justice and the law so your point is taken.

[moondust]

22. Or not.

If Mueller's family is German the name is probably spelled with a "ü" in German which is usually translated as "ue" in English. The sound of ü in German is kind of a cross between "mule" and "mull" so it's probably acceptable either way.

[nini]

24. I went to school with the last name of Mueller

He pronounced it Mule er. I was supposed that wasn't the way the present day Mueller pronounces it. But nothing is below the repukes.

[quartz007]

27. It's worse! Repugs call him Mulehead! nt

[slumcamper]

19. Time is longer than rope. He's running out of rope. Time is catching up with him.

Attrib.: Malaise, May 24, 2018.

[EffieBlack]

23. That's what I think

[Kablooie]

29. He's been giving him rope for over a year now.

How much rope does he need?
And I still am not convinced it will hang Trump.
With the whole Republican party in his ass he will have plenty of opportunity to escape unscathed.

31. The problem is...

...Cox/Jaworski took a long time to investigate Nixon, too, but Democrats held Congress throughout that period, and were able to keep the spotlight focused on Watergate, most notably with the months-long televised Senate Committee hearings. By contrast, while Mueller and his staff painstakingly investigate, the scandal has slipped entirely under the radar. At this point, more and more people seem to have become reconciled to the notion of Trump being president (and, frankly, are discovering that things seem to be going on much the same as usual for they themselves with him in power). I greatly fear that, by the time Mueller releases his report, however damning it may be, it will be shrugged-off as "yesterday’s news" by a public for whom, despite our efforts, Trump will have become "normalized."
