Just curious, is it against the law to do business with Russians? |

Not rocket science. With some sanctions imposed against Russia for their activities in Crimea and over elections, there are some things you can't do business with Russians about. You cannot communicated foreign policy to the Russians when you are not in office. You cannot accept either contributions in cash or in kind to aid your political campaign. And you can't promise Russia relief from sanctions if they will have their oligarch's buy your gaudy and over-price real estate.
I'm pretty sure that someone on the Trump team has violated every one of those prohibitions. Less than two years of investigations, 23 indictments. I guess Republicans don't enforce the laws against rich white pricks. |

I guess it makes a difference if they are "white pricks". |

Death penalty stuff...however, a 3rd judge rebuked Mueller regarding the Russian advertising agencies yesterday. This stuff is hilarious. Mueller was trying to showboat with charges against Russia and it backfired. One of the Russians wants a trial but Mueller was trying to get a continuance.
Fucking hilarious. Such a dog and pony show. |

You just watch, Mueller will persevere, and many of you Trump folks will be whining painfully when the truth is told. |

Keep massaging yourself SW. Mueller will end with nothing but some bogus save face charge at best. And guess what, public support is fading... |

mat-ty, you must think that everything is just about the latest ratings.
That's laughable. |

We've been waiting for 16 months. Not even an iota of evidence. And if Trump had hired a Russian firm to handle his IT department....no crime. We trade with Russia every day. As a matter of fact Kaspursky is one of the most used computer malware companies in the world. |

No kidding, He's worried about a creep and could give a rats ass about the victims. |
You mean I worry about a creep and not the victims? That's weak, mat-ty. |

Bard, how long did Kenneth Starr continue his ever broadening investigation against Bill Clinton? Moreover, how much time and money did the Republicans in Congress expend on investigating Hillary Clinton for everything under the sun, and they're chomping on the bit to do some more of it?
And now, you're getting your panties in a wad about the 16 months spent on far more important issues concerning the Russians interfering with our elections, and those that potentially facilitated it. You need accept the fact that Mueller's investigation will continue for a lot longer than you want. So, quit your whining and develop some needed patience. |
