    Paying aliens or foreigners for election campaign help is a clear violation of election laws. And why you throw in the Trump Tower meeting as a point to your argument is difficult to comprehend, though I understand it has become a permanent talking point meme. There was no money exchanged, and the campaign got zero helpful information.

    So you're in favor of investigating the potential of a crime? That's called a 'Witch Hunt'
    See above.
    It's not 'glee at payback'. It's doung the right thing for the country and its institutions. The 'facts' exposed by Mueller -despite unlimited time, budget and personnel - led to nothing.
    There were no 'obstructive actions', despite that being the only possibility the Democrats have going for them. No collusion? Then let's try to get him on 'obstruction'.
    There is 'no there there' as one of the FBI investigators said right from the beginning. Your beliefs are of no value in a court of law and it is well past time that the Democrats got down to doing some real work, such as securing the border. This 'investigation' is a diversion, like investigating tax returns, and I really don't understand how otherwise intelligent people can't see that.

    Because of course the leaders of both are Trump sycophants.

    Yes, that must be it. No further facts or any evidence is needed. Spoken like a true Leftist.

    "The Clinton campaign and the DNC did not comply with their legal obligation to disclose their payments to Fusion for opposition research. Instead, they concealed the fact that any payments were made to Fusion at all. The FEC should open an investigation and – if they find a violation of federal law – impose a fine to deter future violations.”
    It is not a violation of election laws to pay for information.

    If you haven't figured out the Barr is acting like Trump's personal attorney and not like an independant attorney general the is not my problem. And The VP was the head of the commission and a bigger butt licker would be hard to find.

    Well we know he lied about the Mueller report in order to make it look like it exonerated Trump.

    In what way is Barr acting like Trump's personal attorney?

    No we don't know that since it is another fallacious statement that shows you have fallen again for the Democrat spin. He was quite clear is stating that the prosecutors job was not to exonerate, it never is. No crime was found, no charges levied. These past two years whenever I asked what was the crime, where was the collusion, where was the obstruction of justice and you and your fellow TDSers always answered just wait till the Mueller report comes out you'll see, then we have him. And then when it showed none you act like petulant children who didn't get their ice creme.

    That's right. Your opinions are clear but do you have any facts to substantiate them?

    This is typical run-of-the mill schoolyard stuff we've come to expect from leftists.. What facts, sans opinions, do you have?

    Facts don't matter to you because you deflect, twist and turn, justify. If Obama conducted himself like Trump, you and your ilk would
    have had a sht fit.

    Unlawful? Then why didn't Mueller issue indictments? It is not illegal to 'dig up dirt' on Hillary Clinton. What was unlawful was to dig up false dirt on Donald Trump and present it as verified evidence before a FISA Court.

    Mueller didn't issue indictments because he didn't find enough to warrant an indictment. That doesn't clear Trump. False dirt on Trump? Hardly. Trump has not been exonerated and any citizen who is not Trump would be indicted. Trump is a very good dancer as are most con-men.

    That quote was in response to a statement that to pay for info from a foreign agent was against the election laws.

    Exactly, think about that just a moment. Mueller spent $30 million dollars on 19 hand-picked attorneys and about 40 top flight FBI detectives, they searched for almost two years, issued nearly 3,000 subpoenas and conducted about 500 interrogations, pored over truckloads of often unlawfully seized privileged attorney-client documents, but he couldn’t find enough to recommend an indictment. He conclusively determined neither Trump nor anyone working for him colluded, conspired, cooperated or coordinated with Russians to defeat Hillary. Maybe there is something there, just not enough.

    That is not what he found. He found the appearance of culpability but not enough to warrant indictments. There was no unlawfully seized anything except in your mind. The Clinton investigation too a lot longer than that at a cost of 40 million dollars and produced Monica Lewinsky. Barr said that Trump has not been exonerated, and that is from a guy who is in Trump's inner circle.
