Democrats are not in charge of, nor do they run anything

(10,252 posts)but most are Republicans, as is Mueller.
The Velveteen Ocelot
(115,737 posts)working on the Russia investigation under Robert Mueller (a Republican). Assuming their political affiliation is, in fact, Dem (and it probably isn't, or is unknown), Spanky assumes that therefore they can't be objective and will instead frame him because they're Democrats.

(24,415 posts)so, even if some are Democrats, it ultimately doesn't matter. They're working in a professional, objective manner so far as we know. Trump is *trying* to claim a conspiracy but so far no proof thereof has actually materialized, so.........?

(47,506 posts)that there are people in the FBI who are basically apolitical. It is important that investigators and prosecutors do not allow politics to intervene in any decisions they make.
Proud Liberal Dem
(24,415 posts)And I suspect that most of them do. Der Trumpenfuhrer is obsessed with the idea that there is a conspiracy afoot to frame him for stuff he and his associates *didn't* do.
PatSeg
(47,506 posts)he is obsessed with being caught for all his misdeeds and crimes. He was dumb enough to think he could do pretty much anything and never be held accountable. Spent too much time in his golden tower, where he was never told "no" and he could buy or threaten his way out of any compromising situation. Rules and laws were for the peons.
I don't think anything in his life prepared him for all this.

(13,903 posts)13 of them, they are all out to get Raw Dog Dennison, and they hold sway over the entire investigation.
Oh and they are part of the world wide, all powerful, liberal conspiracy.

(53,410 posts)that every tweet, every utterance, every grimace, smile, frown or shit eating grin is strictly for his base. And evidently Giuliani is following the same playbook. Talk only and exclusively to your base at all times.
Sarah Sanders and all spokespeople do this 100% of the time.
If you can apply this to everything that is said it will make sense. Otherwise you will just run around confused and lost.

BTW. "13 Angry Democrats" would be a good name for a rock band.

(15,805 posts)Trump is playing the classic victim card, and just mentioning the word "democrat" is enough to send his rabid fans into pearl clutching, paroxysmal fits of high dungeon. It works for him, and he'll keep hauling out the same old, tired one-liners until something better comes along.
