Former Prosecutors Say When Mueller Indicts, 'It Will Be A Bombshell'

http://media.crooksandliars.com/2018/07/39726.mp4_high.mp4

Every once in a while, morning news includes actual information, the kind I like.

Morning Joe featured Rep. Eric Swalwell and former federal prosecutors Daniel Murphy and John Martin.

"So do you think that members of congress have been obstructing justice in the russia investigation?" Scarborough asked Swalwell.

"They're stopping justice in the Russia investigation," Swalwell said.


"We saw that when we would bring people in like Michael Cohen and ask direct questions about the Trump Tower meeting and Don Jr. would refuse to answer. You know you have subpoena power and you don't have to take the refusal, but each time we would say, 'Make Donald Trump Jr. answer, but they would say, 'No, we're here under a voluntary scheme,' which is what they set up. They protected them at every single stop. Since they ended their investigation we learned about Cambridge Analytica, about Roger Stone's extensive contacts and we're learning more and more about Michael Cohen. These guys are going to learn the hard way in November, I'm afraid."

Scarborough asked Murphy, "Is it not fair to say that after

"That indictment set forth how the Russians went forward, at least in one way to infiltrate our election," Murphy said.

"What Bob Mueller has not done at any point -- and I think this is intentional, he has not included any evidence of American involvement in any of what we call collusion. Collusion is shorthand for conspiracy to defraud." - Crooks and Liars

Go nuclear, Mr. Mueller!

Working with a hostile foreign country to change the results of an American election should bring the top of the Russian Repug party down in any sane world. We'll see how much sanity there is once Mueller is done.

following this mess from the start. But I think for others to be convinced, to accept the bad players and acts involved during and leading up to 2016, the slow but steady rollout serves as a way of building a story, a narrative for the American electorate to get its head around.

Because from everything I've read, this conspiracy is huge, global in nature and includes a variety of professionals--pols, lawyers, judges, lobbyists, journalists, etc.--a mobster network with a Russian leading-edge and the Trumpster's circle of grifters and fraudsters. All involved were willing to sell out the country for profit, power and/or reputation protection.

Yu-u-uge, in Trumpster parlance.

It's a-coming.

That day will be one of celebration for me because the day after is going to produce some serious, if not scary, fireworks.
