If character doesn't matter when the President is someone you largely agree with (Trump), then character never matters.

Correct

"The report is my testimony." -- Robert Mueller. No fucking shit to anyone with a head on their shoulders. Of course, that probably means Mueller is now guilty of obstructing justice somehow.

Everyone knows that standardized tests are racists, sexist, etc, so the SAT is now going to start offering "disadvantage points".

No, seriously.

You're late, Hanni, re the SAT. That's been out there for awhile. Surprised DSL hasn't posted about it, yet. LOL.

He made it plain that he couldn't completely exonerate PDJT. He didn't make it plain that PDJT was guilty. I mean, for those of us with a brain and that can understand the English language. To help out, that distinction gets to the whole "presumed innocent" thing.

To reiterate -- the Russia fraud was completely disproven. All that remained is allegations that PDJT "covered up" a non-crime by threatening to exercise his LEGAL authority, but not actually doing. Yes, that's correct -- the obstruction concerns the threat of pulling the plug on the very investigation that just concluded. Those are the indisputable facts. End. Of. Story.

Attempted Obstruction when you have the complete and total authority to make it happen. LOL. I mean, it's mind-fucking-boggling.

Mueller made it clear that even if there was a 100% lock solid case against any president for any crime, the DOJ would be unable to pursue charges.

Did Mueller make it clear that was the case? Did Mueller put a percentage on it? What, exactly, did Mueller say?

Your problem is the English language and the words Mueller used. You know exactly what he said and that's why you meander off on conclusions unrelated to substance.

To reiterate -- the Russia fraud was completely disproven. All that remained is allegations that PDJT "covered up" a non-crime by threatening to exercise his LEGAL authority, but not actually doing. so -- just an attempt. Yes, that's correct -- the obstruction concerns the threat of pulling the plug on the very investigation that just concluded. No collusion. No ACTUAL obstruction. Those are the indisputable facts. End. Of. Story.

Why on earth would I read that?
