Pence says Mueller investigation went on for a year and that is enough. All I can say is:

BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI!!! That went on for 4 years. The most important thing is that we know how the Russians got into and affected the election. All the many ways. So that it doesn't happen again.

When Mullah Pence, Pres. Pussygrabber, Uday Qusay and Ivanka tRump are ALL IN JAIL right next to every scumbag republicon who is involved in this. When there are so many convictions that they need 5 entire prisons just to house them all,
THAT is long enough.

They no good and well the investigation is not going to end just because they ask for it too. This is a way for repukes to signal to their base that Trump is going to fire Mueller and to soften the public outrage once he does. You can bet that when the senate wraps up their investigation their pretty much going do the same thing the house did.

LOL...a year. Pence knows WTF he is doing. He is in deep. PLUS, it's NOT a good sign that Mueller hasn't interviewed him. The further out the interview the more likely you are a target. Imagine if Pence was a mole or something. Whatever the hell is going on...I do believe we will find out.

5. What about the Clinton investigations?

They went on, in one form or another, for pretty much his entire Presidency (8 years). Whitewater was investigated to death. I mean, that was one dead horse. And then the Whitewater investigations branched out into just about every "scandal" the Republicans in Congress imagined. In the end, the only thing that came out was Clinton lying in a deposition that, frankly, he should have never had to even participate in and was not tied to Whitewater at all. I believe that there was even one more Congressional "investigation" of the Clintons that happened in the year after Bush II was inaugurated regarding the supposed "sack" of the WH as they were leaving that, like almost everything else, yielded zip and fizzled out.

‘I believe the time has come to bring that investigation and the other investigations of the matter to an end. One year of Watergate is enough.’

"OKAY then, we hit 20 indictments THEN we stop. That's plenty. Time to move past this. American people have different priorities now."

on her as SOS. Of course if it derailed Obama's re-election that was the goal too. They needed some loss on foreign policy. They had tried to undermine Obama on all foreign policy. But they could not erase Obama getting Osama bin Laden.
