so hypothetically, somehow Mueller is fired. what happens? do all of his findings become unusable? or does he still get to turn everything over to Congress to review?

and can any of it legally be made public if he opted to?

Living in Orlando might be better than east Georgia depending on tolerance for gay Disney cast members.

The “Cambridge Analytica” thing is really the “Facebook thing” and whoo boy this is going to take a while

Every member of Congress, Republican and Democrat, needs to speak up in defense of the Special Counsel. Now. https://t.co/bg9pVtkdOv

just for fun, though, first we'll see what happens when one political party doesn't speak up in defense of Mueller

that porn star stormy daniels has more credibility than american president donald "john" trump speaks volumes about the GOP. vladimir putin must be having an awesome st. patrick's day

the case is also in the New York court, thanks to Eric Schneiderman.

Mr. President, the American people will hear my story very soon. And they can judge for themselves who is honorable and who is not.

He deserves to be treated with much more respect than that, disgraceful.

we should only recognize this administration being gutted if it is done by the right kind of people according to the true and proper principles of the committed Left

El Tomboto, Saturday, 17 March 2018 19:01 (six years ago) link

Specifically the Canadian Left

you can hate trump, want him to fail, and not be a CIA bootlicker

Simon H., Saturday, 17 March 2018 19:52 (six years ago) link

and know that Comey is a goofy piece of shit who absolutely mishandled public communications vis a vis FBI's Clinton probe

....very possibly getting Trump elected in the process, lol

Simon H., Saturday, 17 March 2018 19:58 (six years ago) link

i want the following things to happen:
comey owns trump

correct (whom u l8r own)

Comey is Fredo but u can let him pretend to be Michael for a while

fuck the NRA (Neanderthal), Saturday, 17 March 2018 20:03 (six years ago) link

comey owns trump
then
comey GETS owned (owner tbd)

this would be nice. alas the former is very unlikely and the latter is even less so (I know I add this caveat a lot but I would v much like to be wrong)

Simon H., Saturday, 17 March 2018 20:09 (six years ago) link

the lord works in mysterious ways

NBA YoungBoy named Rocky Raccoon (m bison), Saturday, 17 March 2018 20:11 (six years ago) link

comey won't own trump, bcz it will be trump owning himself and comey was just an observer.

ILX has become a CIA bootlicking black site, and now the reckoning is upon us.

Simon H., Saturday, 17 March 2018 20:31 (six years ago) link

maybe i missed it or i r dum but has there been a credible explanation of why Corney couldn't shut up about Clinton EMAILZ but completely omitted the fact that FBI was simultaneously investigating Trump/ Trump campaign?

this article's headline has aged well: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/nov/03/fbi-leaks-hillary-clinton-james-comey-donald-trump

methanietanner, Saturday, 17 March 2018 20:52 (six years ago) link

comey and much of the IC is republican and were maybe all ready to unload on hillzo once JEB! or marco won the nomination. as it became increasingly clear that hair fuhrer was going to be the nominee, no matter what their reservations about his russian connections were, i think they stuck with the original plan -- demonize demonize demonize demonize the witch -- figuring there was no way in hell enough americans would vote for so obvious a venal dipshit as donald trump

reggie (qualmsley), Saturday, 17 March 2018 21:17 (six years ago) link

It's going to be quite remarkable, when this thing is done, to count up all the careers ended, lives destroyed and other collateral damage.

Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 17 March 2018 21:27 (six years ago) link

i hope jason chaffetz winds up in jail, not least for leaking comey's october 2016 letter about hillary

reggie (qualmsley), Saturday, 17 March 2018 21:33 (six years ago) link

Hopefully most of the lives destroyed etc. will be human waste like Erik Prince

Simon H., Saturday, 17 March 2018 21:38 (six years ago) link

Not surprising of course but

Andrew McCabe has met with Mueller's team, a source familiar with the exchange tells Axios.

McCabe's interview with Mueller's prosecutors apparently included what he knows about Comey's firing. https://t.co/ldfrRBCwbp

people were definitely thinking about this when it happened, this question was posed to me by a lawyer friend the day that the announcement was made!

Dan S, Saturday, 17 March 2018 22:10 (six years ago) link

it spurred christopher steele to go to the press with what he knew iirc
