    Warns?

    I see nothing matters to the Democrats except an election.

    BTW, "warns" sounds like a threat, obstruction of justice, and interfering with an election.

    "Warns" is what some editor decided to put in the headline. His comments are just that it would be a bad idea.

    I think Mueller should pay zero heed to any political ramifications. When he decides his report is ready, he should release it.

    Warning enough. He toned it down for public consumption.

    Of course there is no level of corruption that would ever cause you to change hats.

    Casey is worried.

    Hes worried about a few things.

    Hes worried that Mueller has found nothing, because there's nothing to find.

    Hes worried that Mueller will put that fact into the record at a time when the left needs their Russia Russia Russia TDS to con votes.

    Hes worried that after Mueller closes the book on the fake Trump collusion he'll move onto the crimes of the DNC/SD/Hillary campaign/and so on.

    Hmm, 2 days after Mueller's nothingburger indictments of a handful of Russian clowns, a Democratic senator doesn't want proof of Trump Russia collusion to come out before an all important election? Why is that?

    Is is because the writing is on the wall, there is no proof, there was no collusion, is it because all this pathetically desperate lib backpedaling notwithstanding, even they realize that "no American was involved"?

    God forbid Trump is cleared of any wrongdoing right before the mid term election, that's a real leftist nightmare.

    the government has to be careful releasing anything the weeks heading up to the election, Comey was wrong when he did it and do not need a repeat of that
    I think at this point it wont matter though as most Americans already know the truth, Russia is trying to manipulate our elections

    I would also be against releasing anything negative about Trump weeks ahead of the election, if you have something to release, release it before the primaries begin

    So, wouldn't that be meddling in the election? If not, why not? This whole thing bothers me. It shows how easily young voters can be manipulated. Not just this particular piece, but all of this. It isn't just "Russians" do the manipulating, but our own government and news services...everyone who stands to make some big money.

    IF Trump wants the investigation "wrapped up before the election",

    THEN, all that he has to do is turn his COMPLETE Tax Returns, Banking Transaction, and Real Estate Transaction Records (going back several decades) over to Mueller.

    If Trump really has "nothing to hide", then he should gladly turn over all of that info ASAP.

    Because, unless all of that information is thoroughly examined (with all leads pursued to the end of the earth), there is ZERO chance that Trump can escape suspicions of Money Laundering.

    If you'd turn yours over, we could investigate you similarly. Guess who would likely go to prison?

    That depends

    Is the IRS Still a politically biased organization again now that obama is gone?

    Or is the IRS still just an extension of the dem party?

    Oh by all means Mueller, please disregard this. I want the report as soon as possible, and preferably with your face and not Rosenstein's. You know, because advocates of justice aren't supposed to hide behind lackies. You could at least get a member of your 'vaunted' team to do it.

    It was already political when your appointment was made because of Comey's leaks. The least you could do is restore order in the Republic.

    It could. But it could go the other way, either for Trump directly or for members of his entourage.

    I'm willing to accept what Mueller finds, whatever he finds. Are you?

    I am. Although my confidence is very flimsy, given what little he's found. Mueller's appointment is worse than a kitchen sink strategy. It's digging the US into a grave to satisfy their self-spite over Donald Trump. What political unity, if any will exist around the 2020 President?

    The President in 2020 will be more heavily opposed than Donald Trump, with the success of this strategy.

    Mueller is the assassin? He was hired by the Republican Rosenstein. Who was Mueller hired to assassinate?

    But I take it you are willing to accept the results of Mueller's enquiry if it clears Trump. Not partisan at all.:disbelief:

    Wouldn't surprise me. My thoughts were that there is no one who could withstand the kind of scrutiny many want Trump to withstand. He has so far and that is saying something. Even if he was found to have done something wrong eventually, the point will be moot.

    We hold others to standards we could never meet. Yeah, there is a limit. I think that limit today is not a standard for all. Look at how Hillary got off because the emails weren't addressed as "classified". Come on, are we that stupid? If she couldn't tell after the first few that they were classified or should have been and didn't ask, what does that say about her?

    We have very little personal responsibility in the country, it seems.

    As far as Trump's tax returns, there is no law stating he must make them public. The IRS will go after anyone they think is committing fraud. If you believe he is being let off because he is a billionaire, why not ask all billionaires to turn over their returns to the public for scrutiny? They all have a great deal of power over those beneath them. There's no common sense, it seems

    Well I am relieved that at least one Trump supporter will accept the results (although you are, at the same time disparaging Mueller so I'll wait and see how you really react).

    What astounds me is that so many Trumpsters see this as some Democratic strategy.

    THE SPECIAL COUNSEL WAS APPOINTED BY TRUMP'S OWN DEPUTY AG!

    The purpose was clearly to allow an ongoing, legitimate investigation to proceed without interference from one of the potential targets. It was procedurally correct and, if anything, was an attempt to protect Trump from further allegations of obstruction.
