There is good news with the release of the report.

The House investigations can now kick into full gear. Call Mueller to testify. Hold open hearings for these assholes.

Gates, Flynn, Stone, Kushner, Trump JR, Manafort, etc. Let the American people witness these fucking assholes testify under oath.

Like Jill Wine Banks said, open hearings are the key. They were key during Watergate. The American people got to see all the players answer questions under oath. It's how we learned about the tapes.

The wealthy do it all the time. With Trump as President, no shame in the game of scam.

11. I live in Texas. Might as well live in Alabama or Mississipi or Iowa or Kansas for what it's worth.

Mississippi, Texas, and Florida (many years ago, about a year each). It was a really different world and I struggled to maintain my sanity, sigh.

Also, the classifed version of the report can make it an impeachment document.

held accountable. The right wing media will spin Mueller’s report so that no Congressional investigations can penetrate. The media got us again. Fool me once, Hillary will be elected, shame on you; Fool me twice, Mueller will hold Trump and company accountable, shame on me. We are going to look like the raving fools that the righties say we are. I am so disgusted I m beside myself. Clinton is impeached and Ken Starr orchestrated it going public at every stage. Fuck Mueller, had he been investigating a Democratic president nothing would be off the table. WE HAVE BEEN HAD!!

I sat in my camper during an ice storm in Oklahoma to watch Michael Cohen testify.

Open hearings now!!! Drag them in in chains if necessary.

14. Dozens if I recall properly. Dozens of sealed indictments. Why would indictments be sealed?

There is no real "rule" here. The closest parallel is probably a RICO case. The main use of sealed indictments is to protect witnesses and victim identities. However, as in this case, they can also be used to manage complex cases where evidence used to obtain one indictment would necessarily alert other targets of the investigation. It's really less akin to chess and more like dodge ball. If you only have one ball, you can usually only hit one person. Holding back multiple sealed indictments would be equivalent to saving up a rack of balls and throwing them all at once to hit multiple targets

13. Ask Roger Stone if he gives a crap about an oath.

Most of the band of gypsies wouldn’t adhere to an oath if it bit them in the butt. Truth? This is war. I wouldn’t count on any of them being of much help.
Then, they make the Dems look desperate in the process.

This will be quite interesting.
