Robert Mueller may well prove to be one of the most important figures in American history -- and in protecting Democracy and the rule of law.

[FSogol]

1. When they pull down some of the R E Lee statues, let's replace them with Muellers!

[iluvtennis]

15. I like that.

[Honeycombe8]

21. I like your "Mueller time" signature thingie! nt

[sprinkleeninow]

22. Idea!

[aquamarina]

2. I completely agree.

[Xipe Totec]

3. Not only has it been money well spent, but he may even turn a profit

Assets seized from Manafort will more than pay for the investigation and then some.

[liberal N proud]

4. Maybe the most important modern figure

What the founding fathers did was remarkable, choose one.
Abraham Lincoln saved the nation following the civil war.
Roosevelt saved democracy from tyrany.

Muller may prove to save it once again, or at least we are counting on that.

[empedocles]

5. Not to mention being a/the most celebrated lawyer ever.

[empedocles]

8. Lawrence, he's good], had a sharp underscoring point tonight,

when Lawrence suggested, whether one agrees with it or not, that [Mueller's] getting 'Manafort to "cooperate" in the [trump] investigations, - may 'have been the worst news Donald Trump has ever received.''

Lawrence really highlighed/underscored the importance of the Manafort cooperation agreement, in a way that anyone can understand - and better appreciate!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

12. Which is why tRump has been hiding since then. Nothing scheduled, no tweets other than Florence. nt

[KCDebbie]

6. In which case Texas will make sure his name is

Omitted from US History books...

[empedocles]

9. For a little while.

The winds of change are blowing across Texas.

[jaysunb]

7. Indeed n/t

[HopeAgain]

10. Little early to judge this

We still have no idea how close to the President he will come; I heard on NPR that Manafort's cooperation will not be on Russian meddling. I hope you are right, but I'm too old to have any expectations.

[ffr]

13. Direction

Something was said about the NYC prosecutors in their case against Manafort. Prosecutors are hungry to win. I think Mueller has run an excruciatingly tight investigation. In this day and age, you have to give him credit. There is no other indication, based on how he's managed the prosecution and kept the lid on, that he's not hungry to exact justice.

With the conservative GOP complicit with tRump, Mueller's place in history at this very moment is nothing short of monumental. He and his team may single handedly save our republic.

[Claritie Pixie]

20. Manafort and Trump had a joint defense agreement.

Manafort’s attorneys relayed to Trump’s what he was telling investigators. If a pardon was dangled - discussed between these attorneys - it’s obstruction of justice. Once Manafort decided to cooperate the joint defense agreement became void so none of the conversations between attorneys are privileged.

This is a big deal.

On the Russian front - why would that topic be off limits regarding cooperation?

[LiberalFighter]

23. Looks like NPR was blowing smoke.

The cooperation agreement is not limited.

From the NY Times...

But in court on Friday, Mr. Manafort agreed to an open-ended arrangement that requires him to answer “fully, truthfully, completely and forthrightly” questions about “any and all matters” the government wants to ask about.

[sfwriter]

32. I agree. Until we see Junior, Jared and Trump in the crosshairs...

...until all co-conspirators are charged
...until the money laundering and Russian mob network is collapsed


Mueller has a way to go yet.

[MaryMagdaline]

11. I believe so

Untouchable

[Thekaspervote]

14. A modern day sleuth, a Churchill, an FDR in his own right

[BigmanPigman]

16. If he or Rosenstein is fired

hundreds of thousands are ready to protest in 1,000 US cities within hours. I met a stranger yesterday who had the "alert" on her cell phone so she would be ready anywhere, anytime. I have been ready since I signed up last Dec. Nobody Is Above The Law started out with only a few cities and grew into a huge event immediately. MoveOn.org organized it. Sign up at the link and see if one is already planned where you live.

RESISTANCE WORKS!

[NoSmoke]

17. I notice Vancouver & Victoria BC are also on the list.

There's a lot of US expats in Alberta as well - wonder if anything will be organized for Calgary or Edmonton?

[BigmanPigman]

18. If none are on the map there is a also a way

to start/create an event in a new city. If you know anyone, spread the word. Thanks!

24. Kicking for this post!

[Grassy Knoll]

19. Oh To Be A loathsome Deplorable Hick From The Outskirts Of America

..Watching Fox News Picking Their Noses And Flickin It At Their
Brainwashed Children.

[enid602]

25. Portrait

Maybe we should honor Mueller by hanging his portrait alongside FDR, JFK and MLK. That would piss off a few people.

[YessirAtsaFact]

26. More like the Twittingway of Hemorrhoids

What a blabbermouth wanker.

[Cicada]

27. I doubt mueller will save us. Only voting can save us.

[Hoyt]

30. That's my view. There's no guarantee Mueller will get trump.

And not likely Senate will convict trump.

[Sneederbunk]

28. Without Rosenstein there is no Mueller.

[PJMcK]

29. Let's not forget his boss, Rod Rosenstein

It is a peculiar feature in the Era of Trump™ that people I've been against are now our allies. People like Steve Schmidt, Nicole Wallace, Jennifer Rubin, Max Boot, Ana Navarro, Shepard Smith and many others have become my compatriots in resisting the Trump presidency.

Rod Rosenstein is a particularly important unsung hero for our country. He's stood firm on the rule of law and the definitions of the Department of Justice. He knows everything that Robert Mueller knows. He knows Trump is corrupt and he appointed the ultimate investigator to get him.

It's a frightening condition we're in as a nation. Our Constitutional system is under attack and it's up to a handful of people to save it. Perhaps this is what it felt like during the early years of our country.

If this debacle comes to a democratic and legally culpable conclusion, Rod Rosenstein will also be entitled to a statue.

Of course, he's a Republican.

Gack.

[shanny]

31. I agree.

He could save the Republic. Of course it is up to us to insure it is worth saving.

[Pepsidog]

33. Mueller and company must be outraged by his actions

[Demonaut]

34. and possibly "Human" history

small events can trigger world wide disaster

[Golden Raisin]

35. And the 2018 November Midterm Election may be among,

if not the most important and crucial election in the Nation's history.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

36. Reading this gave me goosebumps.

I always pay attention to goosebumps.

[Mr.Bill]

37. I'm too much a child of the 60s

to place all my hope for saving the country in the hands of republican FBI agents.
