I guess he is working on pulling together the House investigations.

LOL!


Maybe he's undergoing a psychiatric evaluation?


He needs to get his thyroid tested. Those buggy eyes are surely Graves’ disease.


Schiff talked to Russians on the phone to get dirt on Trump. We have the recordings. Schiff openly used Trump tower meeting as evidence of Russian collusion. By his own standard, Schiff also colluded with Russians. And the Trump tower lawyer met with Fusion GPS's Glen Simpson three nights in a row for dinner. How come Mueller is not investigating Fusion GPS?


LOL Faulty logic.

Special counsel Mueller has no sealed indictments as Russia probe ends: NBC News

Special counsel Robert Mueller has concluded his investigation and will not file any more indictments in connection with his inquiry into Russian interference in the 2016 campaign, NBC News reported on Friday, citing a senior U.S. law enforcement official.
There are no sealed indictments.
It is possible that leads uncovered during the special counsel's inquiry and handed off could lead to charges brought by state prosecutors or other parts of the Department of Justice.

Wasn't the speculation always that the really big stuff would be passed off to state prosecutors to prevent Trump from pardoning everyone?


Democrats shot themselves in the foot. Mueller had 2 years and tons of money and found nada.

Good luck taking Trump down now. If you go for the king you better not miss. They missed.


Have you not noticed what's going on in SDNY?


No sealed indictments. And good luck stringing Americans along on another wild goose chase.


You have zero understanding of what's happening in New York.

DOJ is saying there are no sealed indictments related to The Mueller investigation.


SDNY isn't part of the Mueller investigation. Like I said, you have zero understanding of what's happening.


PP, do you have any good reason to think SDNY is going to do something big?


SDNY is doing what SDNY does best, investigating and prosecuting organized crime, financial fraud, etc. They are the ones who have been doing the fraud investigation regarding the inaugural committee, they're investigating Trump's tax records, it's where the Michael Cohen/hush money investigation is happening (remember Individual-1?), they're the ones who subpoenaed Aon regarding potential insurance fraud and illegal kickbacks by the Trump Organization, they've already filed suit against the Trump Organization for its charitable fraud, and they're investigating lending fraud in connection with his business projects (Cohen supposedly gave them a lot on this). That's just what I can remember off the top of my head.

Mueller was limited to just Russia. SDNY can pursue every other illegal thing the Trumps and the Trump Organization have done.


What they do best? Yeah, their prosecutions for the 2008 financial crisis were really something! Oh, wait...


That's what you're falling back on? Oh, that's sad.



Some of the crimes most damaging to the citizenry were almost entirely ignored by the criminal justice system and my highlighting said FACT is what you call "falling back"? What a hoot! Nothing I've said is pro-Trump. But I yield to no one in saying that hoping for good things from the SDNY or any other ensconced part of the legal profession is f-ing stupid!


Prosecutors don't get to write the statutes, and the statutes didn't exist to give the kinds of convictions people wanted (although they did collect about $200 billion in penalties and settlements). When DOJ tried to find an avenue, the initial court rulings went so poorly that DOJ decided it was better in the long run to abandon those prosecutions (which were unlikely to succeed at that point) rather than risk a broader challenge to the statutory system that might jeopardized future financial crime prosecutions.

Barr shut down the investigation. There are way too many loose ends, way too many redactions, way too many unanswered questions. Just wait, people will talk.

The end of the investigation was widely signalled but still seems strange. What was Flynn cooperating about? What about Corsi? And Prince? Also, Trump was never interviewed, nor was It or Kushner.

I'm interested in the report. Right now, things seem incomplete.

Why are there former prosecutors of financial crimes with many, many scalps to their names who disagree with you?

The truth is, whatever awfulness Trump has displayed in his life in much less an aberration than is frequently portrayed. Most of those in positions of responsibility have in recent decades have similarly chosen to ignore difficult issues. The legal profession is no different and those tasked with pursuing the criminality of the powerful have been especially remiss in honoring their responsibilities and instead have been reliable in enriching themselves based upon their (past) positions. You can claim that the financial crisis 'lacked the statutes', but there is such a broad and deep trend of their suddenly 'not having the statutes' that I'm very reluctant to take to you seriously.

The 2008 financial crisis ruined millions of lives, trillions lost, countries sent to recessions. SDNY didn't prosecute anyone responsible for that disaster.

SDNY didn't even investigate Michael Cohen's taxi medallion business until Mueller made a referral. It's a purely political hit job.

If you think that's not 'a substantive response' wait until you see what the future has in store for us after the decades of morons in power turning a blind eye to each others' turpitude.

Trump is a symptom, not the disease. And don't expect those who got $$$ from making a mess of things like, inter alia, financial crimes prosecutions, to fix things.

Anyone who wants to make people like DJT and friends less powerful shouldn't count on that job being done by the bozos, like DOJ or FBI or CNN or SDNY or the DNC or the GOP or the NYT, etc., who hatched the world that made DJT and people like him so powerful. Those three- and four-letter acronyms aren't high-minded actors, they're entitled tools who are mad that someone usurped them.

You mean Kareem Serageldin? One guy with a Muslim name? DOJ and SDNY looked the other way at the crimes of politically connected bankers. Crimes that were pretty likely much more serious than this nebulous 'Russian collusion'.

and Flynn's illegal Turkish lobbying was paid for the Russians thing*
and Flynn's illegal lobbying for Russia thing*
and the Trump asking Comey for a "loyalty oath" thing*
and Trump lying to the world about Comey saying he's not being investigated thing*
and the Trump firing Comey thing*
and the Trump or stooges lying to the world about why he fired Comey with 3 different lies*
and Trump hosting Russian foreign minister and ambassador one day after to demonstrate his authoritarian street cred*
and the finding out that Trump actually tried to fire Robert Mueller in June 2017 thing
and the claim by trump that the Russia investigation is over some unrefunded golf club fees to Robert Mueller thing...
And the Maria Butina / KGB / NRA thing
and the slavish affection Trump showed to Putin Helsinki thing
And Trump saying he believed Putin over ALL the US intelligence agencies thing
