The Mueller investigation was a general investigation into Russian interference in US election politics in 2016. It's stated purpose was not investigating collusion with Trumps campaign. That was a side issue.

The question of the campaign being investigated for colluding with known existing Russian involvement is a separate or sub issue.

I think Trump should reveal all his financial information relative to Russia, so that he can make a stronger case that there was no reason whatsoever to suspect that Trumps many direct and indirect (through campaign people) connections to powerful people in Russia had anything to do with Russian interference in the election.

I see you only read the first sentence of my comment.

Don't anybody say the DemMedia isn't biased - they endorse Page's attempted "Insurance Policy" Coup.

It isn't "DemMedia"

It's establishment. Both parties are subservient to it. We need a plan B, at least. Perhaps C, D, E or F. We've been betrayed by our leadership - we need to solve this problem.

John McCain was, Mitt Romney was, George W. Bush was. The parties are the same, because they are entirely controlled by the intelligence agencies. Trump is a hope to break that, but not a guarantee.

If it hurts RepCons,the ends justifies the means.

What exactly is a "RepCon"? You alone in this world use this term as far as I know. I've never seen it anywhere else.

You mean a Neocon? I oppose them, the are authoritarians, They began as communists in the 1960s and claimed they were conservatives in the 1990s. They are authoritarians. They are modern day fascists.

Is that what you are talking about with "RepCons"? Why do you create new terminology? It just leads to confusion.

Is Rosenstein the first rat to attempt to abandon the burning ship and avoid indictment? I wonder if this portends actual indictments in process at last. I'm not holding my breath, or even holding out any hopes along those lines. It's all a head fake and will likely continue to be so, with Barrr's sweating, shaking wattles making phony announcements from time to time.

Rosenstein looked extraordinarily disturbed in his last public appearances after Mueller et alia. shut down RussiaGate.

The New York Times ran a story reeking of angst outside the paywall yesterday headlined, “After Trump Broadside, FISA Surveillance Bill Collapses in the House.” The headline referred to the fact that hours before the vote, the 45th President tweeted a complex, multi-layered argument against renewal of FISA’s warrantless system of “national security” surveillance...

The fight, such as it is, isn’t over. “We will regroup and reformulate another plan,” Mr. Johnson vowed after the vote. He added, “We cannot allow Section 702 of FISA to expire. It’s too important to national security. I think most of the members understand that.” Well. I think most members of Congress do believe that, thanks to intelligence agency lobbying. The security state just sends over a blonde analyst with big intelligence assets and a terrifying powerpoint about bomb-making terrorists who supposedly live two doors down from Congress and suddenly it’s another “yes” vote.

I hope Congress can kill FISA. But I don’t see how the deep state will hand over its favorite toys without a much bigger fight. But hope springs eternal!

Following Speaker Johnson’s tie-breaking vote, an expanded FISA renewal passed the House this week and is teeing up in the Senate, where it is expected to pass easily thanks to solid democrat support — democrats who believe unlimited government spying is necessary to save democracy. Biden will sign it.

The bright side, if there is a bright side, is the powers will be available for Trump’s use, if he wins, to turn the Act against the same democrats who voted for its renewal. From the Guardian: “The US isn’t just reauthorizing its surveillance laws – it’s vastly expanding them.”

Remember, as we’ve heard one trillion times lately: no one is above the law. Except Congress. The FISA bill was amended to require notice to Congress and a real subpoena for the government to spy on its members. Not us though.

Maybe if they stopped letting into the USA every fucking third world loser, including muslims, they could dispense with spying on all of us Americans.

The goal is to dilute all possible unified resistance to the corrupt globalist oligarchy.
