The only thing missing is a cigarette in Putin's mouth. P-grabber is totally humiliated and defeated. Image should be used in every political campaign against every Republican.

Inconceivable that the government would break into a lawyer’s office (early in the morning) - almost unheard of. Even more inconceivable that a lawyer would tape a client - totally unheard of & perhaps illegal. The good news is that your favorite President did nothing wrong!

Non answer. Why is he and Republicans so desparate to discredit Mueller, the DOJ, FBI, and any other federal agency that could expose Trump's misdeeds if he is innocent?Poppa, I appreciate the dialogue with you. Respect.
As you know, the FBI is under the DOJ which is under the Executive Branch. The FBI is not "independent". The President can shut down the investigation before sundown and he doesn't even have to give a reason. He can fire AG Sessions as well. He did fire Comey and with ZERO blowback (to make the point). Obviously, the spineless Republican wimps (mainly in the Senate) would join in the with Chuckie et al. howling for Trump's impeachment. From what I have heard is that Trump has chosen to let the Mueller deal play out because he doesn't just want to say he did not rig the election, he wants Meuller to eventually have to admit that there is nothing there.
The big questions are where's Sessions? What's he doing? Is he just taking long lunches, going after people who smoke weed? Or is he putting together cases that would make Hillary's (alleged) famous quote, "if that bastard wins we all swing from nooses" come (figuratively) true? Time will tell.
House Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah — who announced Tuesday that he was demanding from the FBI copies of memos written by former FBI director James Comey summarizing his conversations with President Trump — tweeted Wednesday that "Mueller is a great selection. Impeccable credentials. Should be widely accepted."
I commend (Department of Justice) for bringing in an independent voice to help bring clarity to this situation," said Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, a senior member of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., said, "My priority has been to ensure thorough and independent investigations are allowed to follow the facts wherever they may lead. That is what we’ve been doing here in the House. The addition of Robert Mueller as special counsel is consistent with this goal, and I welcome his role at the Department of Justice.
Rep Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., called Mueller " a well respected and trusted veteran of the FBI" and said "this special counsel appointment is a step in the right direction on getting answers on the many questions we have with Russian meddling in our election and our democracy."
Republican Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio tweeted: "The issue of Russian meddling in our election must be investigated fully & former FBI dir. Mueller is well qualified to oversee this probe."
On Wednesday, McConnell said "The decision by the Deputy Attorney General to appoint former FBI Director Robert Mueller as a special counsel confirms that the investigation into Russian intervention into our election will continue, as stated last week by Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe. The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence will also continue its investigation into this matter."
ntelligence Chairman Richard Burr, R-N.C., and Vice Chairman Mark Warner, D-Va., issued a joint statement echoing McConnell's commitment to the committee's investigation. Mueller's selection "will provide some certainty for the American people that the investigation will proceed fairly and free of political influence,“ they wrote. The committee "will continue its own investigation and to the extent any deconfliction is required, we will engage with Director Mueller and our expectation is that he will engage with the Committee as well.”
Could it be? An intelligent Bill Maher interview?
There is nothing too low that Putin's Petty Pussygrabber won't do and Trumpanzees won't defend. Republican politicians will hide in their offices and hope no one will ask them for an opinion and Fox State TV will spin it as a bold and decisive move by a strong leader. Trump will blame Obama, Hillary's e-mails and a rigged witch hunt while reminding everyone he won the election with the biggest who knows what ever in all caps. Just the beginning of another week with the biggest dumbsh*t president ever.
