    In the battle for hearts and minds, Mueller is having a crushing win over Trump's crude attacks.

    The majority of Americans believe Mueller's probe is fair and should be allowed to continue without interference from Trump and his GOP lawmaker stooges.

    Mueller's finding so far is targeting people at the bottom of the pyramid of corruption and will eventually snare Trump, Trump Jr., Kushner and a number of other high profile Trump associates.

    On the one hand I'm surprised it's not higher but on the other hand we sadly have very low information citizens that would not recognize actual facts and journalism if it bit them on the butt.

    Mueller is fair. And he has fairly concluded no American "colluded" with the Russians.

    The whole thing is a farce.

    Except for the witless Trump campaign workers. Mueller is not yet finished with Trump, Trump family, and Trump associates yet. You will know when Mueller is finished when Donald Trump stops whining and bleating.

    Democrats: 33%
    Republicans: 26%
    Independents: 40%

    LMFAO!

    This poll grossly over sampled Democrats and Independents.

    This poll is meaningless.

    Would a "fair" political inquisition prosecute John Kelly for doing exactly what Podesta and the Clinton campaign did with regards to the Russians? Probably not.

    The poll tells leftists exactly what they want to hear albeit without any real meaningful backing to it.
    It's the typical leftist method of running policy through managed and manipulated polling and the Government Approved Media
    gives it a ll a thin veneer of respectability with their dishonest spin.
    It's a very old play from their wizened playbook.

    So what?

    NOW, Mueller can concentrate Full-Time on Trump's Money Laundering and Obstruction of Justice.

    Win/Win all the way around.:salute:

    Did they not correct for the oversampling? If your numbers are correct independents are definitely over-sampled in the poll but they usually weight the results when it is not a good representation of the population.

    So at least you're one Leftist who admits what the indictment says: That there's no Russian Collusion? Also, if there's no Collusion, there equally cannot be obstruction for firing Comey. Guess we're up to Money Laundering now.

    Or maybe Bernie Sanders, who was also supported by the Russians.

    What the poll does not say is that anyone who votes cares about it. I could care less and I am a liberal and spent decades of my life studying Russia and American politics.

    There's no obstruction in firing an FBI head who dishonestly ran a phony "investigation" of Hillary Clinton and then announced there were no grounds on which to go after her. That's not his call to make.
    Comey's firing was perfectly legitimate and perfectly legal.

    Furthermore Comey was not investigating Trump so what justice is there to obstruct? Duh!

    The statement said "these indictments" do not state Trumper staffers knowingly interacted with Russians.

    The investigation continues looking for such. Gates has pled out, so he will dump on Manafort, and Manfort will dump on Trump.

    "Looking for such"?

    Keep searching until we find a crime? Any crime? Just find a crime?

    So, you finally admit that this is nothing but a witch hunt.

    LMFAO!

    Thats basically what it boils down to. And eventually at SOME POINT, the American Populace has to be tired of this crap. As a person who doesn't like dealing with BS, I'm already tired :D.

    It's a politically motivated inquisition. Mueller will find a witch, given enough time and money, even if he has to find evidence of witch craft
    in family pets and trees.

    Here's a question: If Mueller clears Trump of any wrongdoing, will that FINALLY encourage some civil respect for the President?

    the commies are trying to Push-Poll Mueller into popularity and trustworthiness just like they tried to Push-Poll their Queen into the White House.

    if it wasn't so sad it would be funny. oh wait, it is funny!

    Is he still going to tweet like he's 12? Insulting people and acting like a buffoon?

    no more than when they chose not to charge Hillary for any crime. Do you think that changed any views of her?

    Sure.

    For STARTERS:

    Trump needs to turn over his COMPLETE:

    1) Long -Form Tax Returns
    2) Banking Records and Transactions (including all foreign banks)
    3) Real Estate Transaction Records.

    (All going back several decades).

    IF, Trump produces all of this information

    AND, Mueller pursues every lead (to the ends of the earth) and uncovers no evidence of Money Laundering, Etc. and there really is "no there, there"

    THEN, I would be willing to absolve Trump.

    That is the BARE MINIMUM that Trump needs to do (to get Mueller off of his back).
