I'm glad. Maybe this will put it to rest - one way or the other.

An excellent decision to appoint and an excellent choice of who to appoint.

An excellent decision to appoint and an excellent choice of who to appoint. I agree. Robert Mueller is the closest we are going to get to a non-partisan. So if he says there is nothing there, I will believe him. And that is all I can ask.

Does this replace the House and Senate investigations?

I believe it will be ongoing investigation number 4 on this matter

It will be interesting. I just hope it isn't drawn out to ridiculous levels. LOL. Whatever happens, Trump will think it went way too far and was unfair, and liberals will think it was tainted and left a lot of leads un-investigated, not going far enough. Let the games begin !

So if he says there is nothing there, I will believe him. And that is all I can ask. Better question is if there is something there & all the speculation turns out to be true, will GOP members, Republican voters & his blind followers believe it?

His blind followers will never believe he is guilty
Just like his devoted haters will never believe he is innocent
The only people influence-able are moderates which I ball park it at being about 30% of people

... Just like his devoted haters will never believe he is innocent ... I have nothing but contempt for President Trump and if Mueller reports he is not guilty, I will accept it.

Getting sick of people so married to partisan politics they continually opine who will do what. You aren't the boss of me peeps.
I want to know what happened. I would really like to know how Russia influenced the election and how much impact they had.

And are you feeling guilty? I said his devoted haters which may or may not include "you". If you feel guilty I can't help it.
There are people who want to hate him just to hate him- are you denying these people exist?
Or are there only his "blind" followers?
Talk about taking things out of context

How is certainly knowable. Not sure that its impact is quantifiable.

I hate the guy too, but I try to be fair. he does make it hard though

I like how you all attack me but give steff a pass Perhaps, when you put on your Rob glasses and make pronouncements, you precede it with IMO-
I think you are totally wrong that only 30% do not have their mind made up. IMO, probably less than 40% have very hardened views on this.

Nope
I believe it will be ongoing investigation number 4 on this matter
Investigations:
1: House
2: Senate
3: FBI
4: DOJ Special Counsel
One of the problems with multiple investigations is the House and/or Senate can offer immunity from prosecution while the Special Counsel will be looking for prosecution if a crime was committed. All three of those investigations could call in and interview the same people. If congress offers immunity and discovers the witness who was granted immunity committed a crime, the Special Counsel cannot use that discovered crime in prosecuting the witness during the course of their investigation.
