SCOTUS Makes State Races Key To Next Decade Of Political Power | Rachel ...
Trump's Freaky Moment With Putin
Pelosi knows what she is doing. She knows what is legislatively possible, from what is legislatively impossible. To give an extreme example to clarify: Slavery was wrong, but any politician knew there weren't enough votes to end it. Lincoln did it with an executive order, but he had the backing of a civil war and a need for every soldier he could find, to support it. Knowing that in peace time it would have failed.
The problem with impeachment is two fold, it must be done in a way and at a time where it is possible and in a way and at a time where it does not create more division and if possible, heals what divisions we have. To impeach or to not impeach both have their risks. But the greater danger is to attempt the highly improbable before doing what can be done to make a better way possible. Besides, if all one wants from a declaration of impeachment is the mark of immorality it carries, there is plenty of time for that to happen before the election. So, expose the public to the evidence and see if that changes minds first. After all, we don't condone convicting people, simply because they've been accused. No matter how strong the evidence is, we still believe that it must be submitted to a jury.

THE MUELLER REPORT ONLINE
Even the table of contents is damning reading. It's here:

In part one Mueller did not investigate Russia and collusion because he believed that the President and his people would resist being interviewed. That would have resulted in long drawn out court battles which would likely run past the next election. Remember, he would have needed to prove that the participants in any "Russian Collusion", actually knew that they were doing wrong. While I'm of the opinion that there would be ample evidence of the needed knowledge around, getting to it would not be an easy or speedy matter. Better, then, that he devote his time to the more fruitful matter of obstruction, where there is ample proof sufficient to sustain a conviction.
Without reading the actual report, one would have no idea of how many Russian contacts there were, the suspicious nature of them, nor what they were about. Even the table of contents listing of these meetings is frightening. Reading the details of what Mueller found will be equally shocking.
Mueller makes it clear that this report is being prepared for Congress, which has the power arrive at it's own conclusions (a trial), He feels that, according to Justice Dept. rules of practice, he should not reach conclusions, because he has not the power to bring the case to trial. It is a political trial process that Presidents are to be subjected to, therefore the case should not be prejudiced by conclusions the dept. has rules against him making.
Okay, that said; Mueller has collected a massive amount of information that, if read, would lead one to conclude that coordination/conpiracy had actually occurred for several reasons, not the least of which would be: the sheer number of contacts/meetings and materials transferred and materials released. The cumulative effect of which was devastating to the Hillary campaign.
Anyone who has worked on a political campaign knows that information and advice constantly flows in and out. There are many interested parties who are in and outside the campaign staff, all of whom have knowledge of various types and kinds, that are believed to aid the campaign of their candidate of choice. As such, when Trump calls on Russia in a public statement, that would trigger a cascading avalanche of advice and warnings to the campaign, about the illegality of receiving assistance from foreign actors. Thus it is impossible that the campaign did not know the risks involved in attending the Trump Tower and other Russian meetings. Which is reasonably the cause of such highly placed people, placing their own well being at risk, by perjuring themselves to Congressional Committees.
Please bookmark these report sites and take a note of where you leave off so that you can come back and pick up again. Because it is unlikely many people will be able to read it all in one sitting (we do have lives don't we?). Be well and aware our freedoms and country depends upon it.
From the "Introduction to Part One" Paragraph three, we learn that George Papadopoulos reported to a foreign government that he had knowledge that a foreign government was intent on interfering with our elections on behalf of DJT. That foreign government that George spoke to, then reported the matter to the FBI. Question, why didn't George report this to the FBI himself? Where the foreign government Papadopoulos reported to had enough good sense to report to the FBI. George is guilty of misprison of felony as would be anyone else who knew of this matter and did not report it. Misprison of felony does not require the accused to have knowledge that what they were doing is illegal in the same way as coordinating with a foreign government does. Just a thought,
"In late July 2016, soon after WikiLeaks's first release of stolen documents, a foreign government contacted the FBI about a May 2016 encounter with Trump Campaign foreign policy advisor George Papadopoulos. Papadopoulos had suggested to a representative of that foreign government that the Trump Campaign had received indications from the Russian government that it could assist the Campaign through the anonymous release of information damaging to Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. That information prompted the FBI on July 31, 2016, to open an investigation into whether individuals associated with the Trump Campaign were coordinating with the Russian government in its interference activities."

My biggest worry is of getting another "lay down and die" Al Gore. We know that Trump and his followers are not going to play nice and abide by the rules. It's already hypothesised that Trump will have to be dragged, kicking and screaming, from office. We don't need another candidate who is willing to concede simply to keep the markets open and/or avoid the turmoil and rancor the process might provide. We need someone who is driven enough to stick in there and keep fighting no matter the costs. Had Al Gore done that, he'd have won and we'd have been spared that tragic and destructive hunt for the wmd's that did not exist.
Everytime Trump says; "We'll see..." I'm reminded of those claims the wmd's were there, despite anyone's inability to find them, or any credible evidence that would prove they existed.

This report contains truly revulsive information, how could America allow this to be done in our name? I'm sorry, but someone in charge has either lost their mind, or they are some kind sadistic criminal who needs to be removed, charged, tried and if convicted, imprisoned.

There are so many good candidates, but I'm partial to Bernie because, he's near the "back door" of life, he's ideological, smart, has integrity and he's strong in the way a president will need strength. He also has substantial political skills. His smarts and strength as well as his strong ideological inclinations mean he's not going to be easily fooled or swayed by gaming, gambits or the usual roster of political tricks. We need a president of integrity who is clever and persuasive.
