Ah!! So, an Inspector General recommending criminal investigation = evidence now? Is that how it works?

Yeah dude. When the FBI fires you, and then recommends a criminal investigation against you on top of the sacking............it might point to some "evidence" of wrong doing.

Herdingcats says

So Trump was colluding with the Russians. Occam's razor for sure.

We'll find out.

Just like we will find out if Obama and the Democrats were colluding with the FBI and DOJ to undermine a duly elected president.

LeonDurham says

Is there evidence you were planning on presenting? So far nothing is very persuasive.

I asked you some questions. If Strzok and Page and McCabe dindu nuttin' wrong, why aren't they employed at their old jobs?

No mueller was not appointed to look for trump collusion. That's just made up by the trumptards. He was appointed to ensure a full investigation into Russian interference into the election. Read the appointment letter some time.

Mueller sure as shit was: May 17th, 2017.

First paragraph, NYT:

WASHINGTON — The Justice Department appointed Robert S. Mueller III, a former F.B.I. director, as special counsel on Wednesday to oversee the investigation into ties between President Trump’s campaign and Russian officials, dramatically raising the legal and political stakes in an affair that has threatened to engulf Mr. Trump’s four-month-old presidency.

Guardian, First Paragraph:

The Department of Justice has appointed the former FBI director Robert Mueller as special counsel to investigate alleged ties between the 2016 presidential campaign of Donald Trump and Russian operatives. Mueller will also investigate questions of Russian intervention in the election generally.

CBS:

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has appointed former FBI Director Robert Mueller to serve as special counsel to oversee the previously confirmed FBI investigation of Russian efforts to influence the 2016 presidential election and related matters.

"I have determined that a Special Counsel is necessary in order for the American people to have full confidence in the outcome," Rosenstein said in a statement.

The letter announcing the appointment says that Mueller is authorized to investigate "any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump; and...any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation."

That's right, it's in the Appointment Letter:

https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/appointment-special-counsel

And, please, don't try to argue that the Trump Campaign doesn't include Trump, and note that "any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation" are authorized to be investigated, which would certainly include Russian "collusion" personally by Trump.

hahahahaha... choked laughing! If I had been drinking it would've come out my nose!

And I said I have no idea. I didn't fire them.

Maybe because the President put a crapton of pressure on the Director.

Read the first paragraph, that's the appointment of the scope of the investigation. Where is the word collusion in the letter? It's not..

Why is that? Collusion don't have any legal meaning in a campaign. The only place collusion has any legal meaning is in anti trust law. So collusion is just made up shit. Coordination isn't a crime either. The reason the letter directs investigating coordination is to see if it led to violations of campaign or security laws. Trump can coordinate with all the Russians he wants to. Providing he didn't do anything that violated any statute. So what is the problem? Why spend a year ranting and raving if you didn't do anything wrong? The first thing lawyers tell their clients is don't act guilty. Trump didn't get the memo it seems. .

TwoScoopsOfSpaceForce says

Being stupid ins't a crime. Plenty of people have been fired for dong stupid things that weren't criminal.

I don't think anybody is going to be convinced that "coordination" and "collusion" have radically different meanings. Is it misleading to write "Franco and Ciparelli coordinated a bank robbery", instead of "Franco and Ciparelli colluded in a bank robbery"?

bob2356 says

Why is that? Collusion don't have any legal meaning in a campaign. The only place collusion has any legal meaning is in anti trust law. So collusion is just made up shit. Coordination isn't a crime either.

Yet Mueller is pointedly directed to investigate it. You can report on something that isn't a crime, yes?

What has the Left been masturbating to for over a year now? Proof of "Russian Collusion", that's what. The Media has been breathless in it's reporting of any and every potential meeting. Every few weeks they revisit the Trump Tower meeting.

You also missed the "any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation..." bit.

Is today the day it gets "real"??!!?

I'm on the edge of my seat!!!!

Nope, still no collusion.

Oh darn!!!

You know that the bank robbery is the crime right?

That is the whole fucking point, which seems to escape you.

ROFLOL. That's really, really funny. Trump has been revisiting it every day. The MSM and the right wing echo chamber are reporting what trump stirs up with his tweet shit storm de jour. . Mueller hasn't released anything, hasn't made a single public statement, and hasn't been available to the press at all. Gee where does the press get the investigation subject of the day from? Damn, you really are a funny guy.
