  1. PREDICTION after the Mueller testimony:
    Dems: THIS IS IT! IMPEACH!
    Reps: he didn’t say anything new

    Back to square one.

    1. @brian gardner you know what I dont see, dems sexually molesting the American flag to show they love America.

  2. If no crimes were committed, why would you not want the person who has concluded the investigation into the accusation to come out and publicly say it? Unless..

    1. @Showcase Success that is racist. We are deeply offended This kind of racist remarks cannot be tolerated in America

    2. We relied on Mueller and DRUMPF has ONLY gotten stronger, we need THE SQUAD to step in to stop DRUMPF, or no more Democracy, FOREVER!

    1. Every single charge the Mueller team made was well within the scope of the directive which created the Mueller investigation. And note that the word “collusion” was never used:

      ORDER NO. 3915-2017
      APPOINTMENT OF SPECIAL COUNSEL TO INVESTIGATE RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE WITH THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION AND RELATED MATTERS

      By virtue of the authority vested in me as Acting Attorney General, including 28 U.S.C. §§ 509, 510, and 515, in order to discharge my responsibility to provide supervision and management of the Department of Justice, and to ensure a full and thorough investigation of the Russian government’s efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election, I hereby order as follows:

      (a) Robert S. Mueller III is appointed to serve as Special Counsel for the United States Department of Justice.

      (b) The Special Counsel is authorized to conduct the investigation confirmed by then-FBI Director James B. Comey in testimony before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence on March 20, 2017, including: (i) any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump; and (ii) any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation; and (iii) any other matters within the scope of 28 C.F.R. § 600.4(a).

      (c) If the Special Counsel believes it is necessary and appropriate, the Special Counsel is authorized to prosecute federal crimes arising from the investigation of these matters.

      (d) Sections 600.4 through 600.10 of Title 28 of the Code of Federal Regulations are applicable to the Special Counsel.

    1. @J Groovy Still believing the Russian troll nonsense even after those liberals were caught creating fake Russian trolls huh? Yup, I remember when I had my first beer.

    2. @cj p You had wrote: you fools will be stuck on Russia for eternity
      My response: kind of like Missing E-mails ?

    3. @Elmosweed no… more like Clinton destroys email server upon FBI subpoena and doesn’t catch an obstruction charge.

    1. So you guys think the last few pages say “trump committed a crime”? How delusional are you?

  3. Oh good … now we can read the report without all those lines in the way… now we can find out why half of Trumpty Dumpty’s staff got thrown into jail

  4. This is history in the making…regardless of how things end….bring your popcorn ladies n gents.

    1. GO WATCH JIMMY DORE FOR PROOF MEDIA IS OWNED BY GOVERNMENT AGENCIES. our media lies to us repeatedly. Look at NBC for God sakes. Owned by GE. GE does ALL electrical engineering on military missiles. Wake up people!!!!!!! BTW, the Koch brother’s were importing 500 THOUSAND barrels of oil a day from Venezuela, to their refinery in Texas. Rex Tillerson, former secretary of state, has major shares and was ceo of exon. Who gets their oil, from Venezuela. Maduro stopped selling oil to the US, and vowed to nationalize the oil. Now we’re in Venezuela. BTW, the Koch brother’s also make JET FUEL. why do you think they donated 250 million dollars to trump 2020 campaign. Because trump is going to get that oil back. Please people, GO TO JIMMY DORE on YouTube and see whats REALLY going on. Our government, is corrupt. And they use the media, to hide it.

    2. @vDarkness Falls where did you get that donation number? Trump has been showing Koch bros hate on twitter and the brothers are pro open borders.

  5. interesting the happenings that lead to Iran acting aggressively. NOT good at all but trump is know to not be good. now the UK will call for trumps impeachment.

  6. USA: Land of Chamberlains. Sad to see how all the jokes from all TV-personalities is the answer.

    1. @BANE Helsing CNN couldn’t survive on YouTube alone and they’re really having troubles on the television.

    2. @T A have you watched what happens when Democrats try to debate? They start getting triggered like crazy.

    3. @MEGA 2020 So you search CNN, drive up the view count, feed the algorithm, leave a comment (without context) With enemies like you who needs friends.

    4. @Cudaman2 Formula Good one, says the guy who gets triggered and replies to every comment, we have true arguments and you right wingers have insults and one liners like “but what about Obama”. Get a job and quit reading youtube comments all day.

  7. The lawmakers will find a compromise before the hearing and the public then will get a show..

  8. The only question that needs to be asked is whether he would’ve indicted Trump for obstruction if he wasn’t a sitting president. Exonerating him on conspiracy is great, but the way the report punts obstruction to Congress after laying out 200 pages of what looks a hell of a lot like obstruction wasn’t cool. You’re the prosecutor — even if you can’t personally prosecute this man right now, your job is to tell us whether the law was broken.

  9. Half are sharpening their fangs and tuning up their brooms.
    The other half are bringing earplugs and pillows.
    Either way it’s another horrible waste of time and money !

  10. Iran with its hands tied behind its back is resisting arrest! As Ronald Reagan said: Mr. Muller bring down this Fake President.

  11. Look..we all know there are no rules for rich white folks..code of conduct maybe..but no enforceable rules..This is simply a distraction as the world gets enslaved by the oligarchs.

  12. Nancy Pelosi will not start an impeachment inquiry after the Mueller testimony.
    She will start the impeachment proceedings.
