And as I am reading, I am almost, thinking the poor guy is 72 y/o and going to jail....WOW...the FBI is one mean hombre....

And I don't think the FBI were political...Habert was a Rub.

3. The worst part of Hastert was his flaming hypocrisy

This child abuser was attacking a man for matters consensual. Gingrich is another one.
All now the media hasn't given his disgrace the appropriate coverage.

The longest serving ReTHUG Speaker. They are all Cons who never practice what they preach.

7. Don't you feel that the collection phase is about done?

I mean, the IC has been investigating Manafort for 4 years. And with incidental data, anyone in his orbit for the last 4 years will have been recorded. Bringing all this data together from each department, cataloguing it, and then preparing indictments is the phase they are in now as far as Russia interference. Now, the obstruction of justice charge is just starting because they have to interview everyone with personal knowledge, but even that mostly has been done in the last couple of weeks.

Honestly, I see in the next couple of weeks, indictments being handed down and possible arrests.

And one reason for this, I feel that Mueller wants to turn up the heat under Dump's bacon to see what he will do.....kind of like pushing him from the frying pan into the fire.

And didn't Comey testify that Russian foreign nationals are listened to as a matter of course? They've got them on tape with each other going back to the 90s.

I'm not buying the these things take time line. Not with all this smoke.

9. I agree....this investigation has already going on without our knowing....

It is about done as far as the collective phase....now we want the indictment phase...

We want charges brought on...even if we have to wait for court dates....bring the charges out in the open....show the public the evidence.

10. Federal investigations always move very slow and deliberate

Much slower than what you see happen at a state and local level.

That's very typical. It can be sometimes years between when they do a raid and seize evidence and when indictments come.

13. Yes but, the damage this traitor is doing is immense and ongoing. He shouldn't be able to continue

pushing his agenda, undoing any more policies, or ruin any more relationships with allies... etc.
His power must be limited and the damage must end. He has no right to govern this country.
