    That "nothingburger" just seems to keep on growing

    Yet another avenue for Mueller to pursue, and conservatives think it's nearing it's end?

    Got bet Wayne LaPierre is getting himself all lawyered up

    Better try the girl scouts. I heard the Russians bought 3 dozen chocolate mint. All proceeds went to Trump. Smoking gun.

    Part of the 12 million dollar burger Hillary paid Fusion GPS to flip.

    The NRA link to Russia came from Glenn (hi glenn!) Simpson's House testimony. It's rather weak stuff.

    Yes! It has grown 10 times its original size. (What is nothing times 10?)

    Unless you're the Clinton's or the DNC, then you're given a complete pass.

    Probably nonsense, like everything else in this "scandal".

    Putin's Master Plan to Install a Pawn In the White House Who Would Greatly Amp Up Energy Production and Thereby Decimate the Russian Oil-Based Economy Is Nearly Compete

    In 2018, the US is expected to overtake both Russia and Saudi Arabia to become the world's greatest oil producer.

    [​IMG]

    Some NeverTrumpers immediately objected to this development, noting that as the US becomes energy-independent it gives them less pretext to start and lose wars in the Middle East.

    From Simpsons testimony:

    "It appears the Russians, you know, infiltrated the NRA," (...) "And there is more than one explanation for why."

    “It appears that the Russian operation was designed to infiltrate conservative organizations,” (...) “And they targeted various conservative organizations, religious and otherwise, and they seem to have made a very concerted effort to get in with the NRA.”

    Simpson said when asked about other conservative groups: “the names of them escape my mind,” (...) “there has been a lot of that.”

    Simpson's still selling the narrative and trying to link the entire free world to Russia.

    Cheers

    Ah, I see we have another conservative in a state of denial, I don't know, Mueller has three indictments and two guilty pleas of top level campaign individuals in nine months of work, imagine what he is going to come up with when he really gets into it

    As I just told one of your comrades, three indictments and two guilty pleas of top level campaign personnel in nine months of work aint "nothing," and he is only at the end of the beginning

    I don't think individuals get all lawyered up over "probably"

    "weak" enough for the FBI to investigate, that's a lot of "weak"

    And none of it remotely connected to Trump.

    Take any group of people, dig through their lives, and you will find enough dirt for charges somewhere.

    That's all he is doing, there is no case against Trump, probably never was.

    LOL, the words potentially, reportedly, whether make this story yet another fake news and nothingburger.

    And an oversized nothingburger is still a nothingburger :D

    No it doesn't need to be determined.

    We already know what these guys are charged with, none of it has anything to do with Trump.

    Right... that will certainly hold up in court. Lest we forget that even if the story is 100% true (and this 'if' is as big as your oversized nothingburger) it's still between the NRA and the Russian banker and has absolutely nothing to do with Trump and his administration whether it was or wasn't legal. (who says a private Russian banker can't donate money to the NRA?). Worst case scenario, someone in the NRA will do time. Meh, who gives a f*ck.

    So far, but having one your campaign manager, associate campaign manger, plus cabinet level National Security adviser involved says a lot, and he's just beginning to get into the infamous meeting in Trump Tower, you didn't really believe all the principles there just talked about adoption did you?

    Nah, that's just another right wing innuendo, there's seemingly hundreds of them, and by the way, the FBI is part of the Justice Department which last I noticed was headed by Trump appointees

    They were charged with unrelated things.

    Like I said, dig up anyone's past and you more than likely will find a charge to stick on them.

    That's what Mueller is doing at this point, he doesn't care who he gets or what its for, he just has to do something to try and avoid looking completely incompetent.
