Showing Original Post only (View all)Here's what will happen on DU when the Mueller report is released [View all]
Whenever it is available, whatever it says, and whatever might be redacted, its failure to include your pet theory will only mean one thing - that it was rigged, a whitewash, etc.. The really good stuff is in the redacted part. They never interviewed some person who has inside knowledge of the whole thing. They didnt inspect the voting machines in Kalamazoo...
Because a failure to include your pet theory could not be that it was out of scope, or just plain didnt happen that way.
One of the most irritating things in my work is when the facts refuse to cooperate with my argument. I start out with a killer argument, and by the time Im drilling down into the details, the damned facts turn on me and engage in mutiny!
But with the Mueller report - which will in fact lay out a cavalcade of corruption and disregard of the law - you dont have to blame the facts for betraying you. Instead, you can blame the people. Someone on Muellers staff perhaps, or a successful confederacy of perjurers, will be responsible for the fix. Also, a whistleblower will be dug up - some person who saw it all and will speak to your group about it for a reasonable fee.
It will all be clear to you what really happened. Not only that, but youll find out that DU is populated by paid shills who are all here to aid in the cover up by expressing skepticism about the unprovable facts you know to be true.
It will be important to make sure to get every Democratic candidate on the record about your pet theory. If they are also shills for TPTB, youll then come to realize the whole system is rigged, and that you should instead not support any Democratic candidate. Instead, you should stay on DU in order to fight the trolls and official conspiracy theorists get others to realize how theyve been deceived again by The Official Story.
All of which will be a wonderful distraction from the actual cavalcade of corruption and criminality which the report will actually disclose.

Except that just like Mueller, the SDNY is not going to indict a sitting president.

The DOJ policy is not a law, it is not in the Constitution, it's a flimsy shield.

That's true until it isn't. Consider the DOJ policy on family separations at the border

And if you think this DoJ will change the no-indictment policy, I have a bridge to sell you

Part of the problem also is what tRump has done vs. what is possible to PROVE he has done

Relative to the actions of the past I'm pretty sure Mueller is focused on being non-partisan

Only expectation I have is that it won't be as bad for trump as I want, and GOPers will do nothing.

I think we'll just be puzzled, and we'll try to fathom the meaning of the redactions.
