... will ... followers believe it? .. followers will never believe he is guilty ... will never believe he is innocent The only people influence-able are ... I like how you all attack me but give steff a pass See that little "?" at the end of her sentence? She asked a question. You stated how others would react. Right, she asked a question (loaded question BTW) and I answered it. |

I like how you all attack me but give steff a pass You weren't attacked. Opti quoted your post but used the words "people" and "peeps", not your name. I should have better said my post was "reacted to" or "seemed to offend some" but that there was no similar reaction to Steff's post. |

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.
Of course it's my opinion. If I wrote it and it is not an actual fact it has to be my opinion. No need to write IMO, unless for extra emphasis. I disagree on percentages, the country is very divided after the election. |

I mean really, what do we think this is, a forum for people to "react to" things people post?  How could we be so ridiculous!  |

I think Putin paying trump was a joke... till they lied about it on the record repeatedly before being told there was a recording...
But they KNEW Russia hacked the dnc... and laughed about it.
It just struck me as, ... maybe it's just me.

If they laughed after they knew someone in the DNC fell for a phishing scam, I somewhat understand it. However, in any organization of significant size, its almost a given someone will be gullible or lazy enough to fall for one. |

I didn't see anything about how the DNC was hacked, just that it was. No mention of an idiot who fell for a scam. In fact, no mention of what kind of thing caused the hack at all. |

It just struck me as, ... maybe it's just me. But Ryan saying basically "you prove you're part of our family by not repeating it outside" (paraphrasing) kills the idea that it's a joke. Add to that Ryan denying it happened 3 times in a row UNTIL the reporter says "we've heard the tape", THEN he claims it was a joke. The insistence to keep it secret & the denial until told there's proof of it negates the "it's a joke" IMO. |

They said it was Russia though. Laughing. After just saying how Russia was using maniacle propaganda to try to turn the Ukraine against itself. |

It's all bad sorry stuff and shows how low our legislators will sink to have power. We should be afraid of all of them.

Does this replace the House and Senate investigations? I believe those are separate investigations. |

Less than 40% would claim so, but that's because they expect to be proven right, in which case it will be impossible to disprove. |

What I read was the Clinton Foundation received money. That's very different than the Clintons personally benefitting. Plus tbe fact that the Clintons rekeased their taxes and as a non profit, the Clinton Foundation's finances are public. Very different from tbe secretive Trump situation. Perhaps if Trump released his taxes, there might be a comparison, but as long as he keeps his secret, there can be no comparison. |

I think the bigger problem is Trump's secretivness, the lies his Team have already told, and his refusal to release his taxes.

trump White House looking to have Mueller removed as special counsel or weaken his findings. White House looking at ethics rule to weaken special investigation -sourcesThe Trump administration is exploring whether it can use an obscure ethics rule to undermine the special counsel investigation into ties between President Donald Trump's campaign team and Russia, two people familiar with White House thinking said on Friday. Trump has said that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein's hiring of former FBI Director Robert Mueller as special counsel to lead the investigation "hurts our country terribly." Within hours of Mueller's appointment on Wednesday, the White House began reviewing the Code of Federal Regulations, which restricts newly hired government lawyers from investigating their prior law firm’s clients for one year after their hiring, the sources said. An executive order signed by Trump in January extended that period to two years. Mueller's former law firm, WilmerHale, represents Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, who met with a Russian bank executive in December, and the president's former campaign manager Paul Manafort, who is a subject of a federal investigation.

If true, this may be the fastest response to an ethics issue by this White House...

Listening to Rachel Maddow last night there are all kinds of ways he can stop this investigation, legal ways. I bet he does, it will leave the country in a big mess and divided like crazy.
A problem with Mueller as his firm represents Krushner and Manaport, so issues already. I swear all of them up there are related to each other or connected in everyway.
