/----/ Yeah, we're waiting for those russians to show up for trial. BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAMueller has indicted dozens of people, including several high ranking people in the Trump campaign and administration. Which is more then ever was put forth on Benghazi that has ZERO indictments. Yelling fake doesn't make that go away./----/ Benghazi actually happened. Trump Russia Collusion is fake.So the most logical assumption for a special prosecutor investigating a major crime involving complex, cyber, financial and international ties isn't the complex nature of an investigation of this type but rather some weird wish to cost the taxpayer money?If he had evidence of collusion he would have charged him by now...unless he just wants to rape the taxpayers.Another one? let me repeat the following too then. -First, Turnley nor congress, or anybody besides the Mueller team knows what information he has. In fact Mueller is well served by keeping information close to his chest until such time he actually indicts someone. So saying Mueller has produced no evidence is both to be expected and very premature to state.In an editorial published on RealClearPolitics this morning, Jonathan Turley, a nationally recognized legal scholar and law professor at George Washington University, says that Mueller still has not produced any evidence of Trump-Russian collusion. Here's an excerpt:
After 14 months of investigation (and for the second time in a formal indictment), the Justice Department has stated that it is not alleging any knowing collusion between Trump campaign officials or associates and the Russians. Back in February, Mueller handed down his major indictment of 13 Russians for actively interfering with the 2016 election by spreading false information. Both Mueller and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein expressly noted that the evidence involved “unwitting” communications with Russians adopting false identities. This indictment shows that same pattern of clearly concealed identities in seeking to hack and distribute email information from the Democratic campaign and its associates.
When I noted at the time of the February indictment that it was strikingly silent on evidence of collusion, some insisted that the indictment did not cover the hacking operation and that Mueller was likely waiting to indict Trump officials colluding on the theft and distribution of the emails. We are still waiting. While the indictment speaks of both a reporter and a Trump campaign associate unwittingly communicating with the Russians, the indictment does not allege knowing collusion. That does not mean that no one colluded on some level, but after 14 months we have yet to see compelling evidence of collusion by Trump or his campaign. (Ignore the spin — still no evidence of Trump collusion)
If you read the whole article, you'll see that Turley is not completely siding with Trump on the matter. He disagrees with Trump's label of "witch hunt" and believes that in many respects Mueller's investigation is serving a legitimate purpose. But Turley also makes the point that so far Mueller has produced zero evidence that Trump or his top aides colluded with the Russians.
- Second he, in this article just is trying to make a point that the information in this indictment doesn't prove KNOWING collusion. This is a weird way to put something because it does imply they did collude but didn't know the information was provided by the Russians. Not exactly reassuring.
- Thirdly Mueller has yet to rule on some of the more inflamatory information in the public sphere. Namely the Don Jr Trump tower meeting. Hardly an innocent unknowing instance, and one that strongly suggests collusion. It's something that I suspect will mean legal trouble.
- Fourthly. Collusion wasn't in the mandate that Mueller got, so saying he didn't provide evidence of it is a straw man argument.
It took congress 9 separate investigations, 8 million dollars and 2,5 years to conclude nothing criminal happened with Benghazi, but Mueller investigating something this far reaching should be done already?
