    Funny how many legal minds have found obstruction in the report. But they must be on a "witch" hunt, yes?

    We're preparing to wallow in the schadenfreude that comes from watching the nomenklatura in the Democratic party and their apparatchiks in the federal bureaucracy hoist by their own "Russia collusion" petard.

    Thanks to Mueller's Stalinist show "investigation", we all know that there was no predicate for the "insurance" agents in the Obama-Clinton crime family to conduct their little spy operation, and thanks to an unusual fit of candor on the part of Itchy Jim Clapper we know it goes all the way to the top:

    The only question is who's going to take the fall? Surely, Barack Milhouse Nixon won't do the perp walk and Hillary Clinton has made a career out of skirting the law and getting other people to go to jail for her and her husband, so it looks like the "insurance" agents who did their bidding will be facing the prospect of paying for their arrogance and stupidity.

    Well, they sure as hell are not in the same districts as the geniuses who elected your con-man.

    No ... we fight back our nausea, and suffer through Schiff & Pelosi's press interviews. (D)'s are bragging about their scheme.

    Funny how the DOJ official who appointed Mueller and oversaw his investigation - Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein - and other legal minds did not find obstruction in his report.

    The sham "investigations" launched by the Obama Administration and then Mueller's team of "insurance" agents amounted to a witch hunt that would make Joseph Stalin and Lavrentiy Beria proud.

    "Progressives" never change, do they?

    Given that Donald Trump has been in the public eye most of his adult life the public does know the real Donald Trump very well. Of course this won't satisfy the conspiracists who think there must be some mystery attached to the man but it's unlikely there has ever been a more open President than Donald J Trump. The tweets alone should be an indication.

    Must be.

    If a two year investigation with over a dozen lawyers, 50 FBI agents and a limitless budget couldn't find any obstruction then it's doubtful anyone else can either. They may like the publicity they get, and to give the desperate believers some hope, but they're just messing with their minds. It's done.

    What price would we be paying if no investigation ever took place & someone actually WAS working with the Russians? Investigating suspicions of wrong doing is a way of protecting ourselves. The Mueller investigation did no harm & actually caught several wrongdoers. I'm not concerned about an investigation into the Democratic side. I don't expect any notable Democrats to be charged in this matter, but if the investigation turns up something not right, I support doing whatever needs doing to set things right.

    It is definitely interesting how the Establishment is going to deal with this mess. Stay tuned.

    Well, so much for cooperation. I've posted on this forum for several years now, and always from a perspective that honors , respects & tries to preserve or even expand our individual freedoms. I've NEVER suggested we should make the U.S. another Cuba, Venezuela, USSR, China, or any other COMMUNIST nation. I've repeatedly tried to inform those caught up in Cold War propaganda, that there is a huge difference between socialism & communism. I'm totally opposed to communism. But socialism has many positive attributes that could be beneficial to many Americans if adapted. I've personally come to the point I recognize the best government is one that combines the strengths of capitalism with the strengths of socialism, while always keeping a democratic process at the core.

    There are people working with the Russians and have been for decades. Mostly they are Russians but, occasionally, one is caught as a spy, tried, perhaps convicted and then either exchanged for another spy or spends their life in prison.

    But these spies are under surveillance for many months, years perhaps, and there has to be solid evidence of a crime having been committed. There was never any such evidence in this case, and that was confirmed by the Mueller report. Investigations may start on suspicions but there must be solid evidence before anything is ever made public. In fact spy trials are often never made public because of national security or the methods of discovery.

    We can easily see from past spy trials that this one was completely different and that's because it was political, and had nothing to do with national security.

    Socialism is Communists little brother, Communist lite, and is also doomed to fail. However while it's failing the tendency is for governments to enact more socialist policies, thinking they can solve the problems they've created with new programs rather than letting the people sort them out.

    And one of the main problems with Socialism, no matter how well intended, is that the programs and their bureaucracies are almost impossible to remove once they're established. Powerful people, including politicians, can then use them to their own advantage through favoritism or inside information, and so on.

    It is a mystery to me why anyone, knowing the history of politicians and bureaucracies, and human nature, could possibly support socialism. Spend some time on a Socialist commune, where you're free to leave, and you'll soon learn of human nature and the inequalities that eventually result.

    Many innocent people had their lives, finances, and reputations ruined as a result of this witch hunt, btw, so it was never a 'no harm done' situation.

    To be totally honest here, I would have to add both Trump & McConnell to the list of those who qualify as fitting your description above. Of course, every Trump supporter would also qualify, for their support empowers Trump & McConnell.

    How are Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump shredding the Constitution and/or ignoring their political responsibilities?

    I have said many times on this forum, that the best economic system is a blend of capitalism with socialism--and neither alone. You are right that capitalism encourages economic growth, but I feel you're wrong accepting the current economic disparity with no apparent concern. I disagree with you on that.

    I don't begrudge anybody having more than me, but I feel concerned when such a small portion of our citizenry owns & controls such a huge portion of our economic wealth. Such an immense disparity of wealth stands as a glowing example for the failure of any economic system. During the 1950s, most families lived comfortably with a single income provider. I'm not suggesting we return to the sexist economy of the 1950s, but I am concerned that in today's economy, both spouses MUST work full time jobs just to survive, and single parents quite often are forced to work several jobs just to survive. That's a failed economic system, when 2% of our wealthiest never have a financial worry, while 98% of us struggle, & more than 50% live paycheck to paycheck, with no surplus in their lives, ever. I'm not attacking the system, I'm simply saying it needs fixing.

    There will always be 'economic' disparity, or other disparities, in any form of government. That's normal.

    What matters most is people having the same opportunities to better their lives, if that's the direction they choose. Many are content to just have a steady job and not concern themselves with others having more money. Still others spend their times reading books, or joining monasteries, writing poetry or hustling pool.. By overemphasizing 'economic disparities' rather than the freedom we have to live our lives as we choose misses the point entirely.

    That hair-splitting is what is called, by people in the know, constitutional interpretation. Yes, I did read Mueller's report (much of it) and I did not find what you said it read, so, yes, give us the direct quote.
