The point to the investigation never changed. The purpose was clearly stated, and it was not about "getting Trump." Shoot, the scope was specifically limited to NOT get Trump. The investigation had to authorized by a Republican congress and Justice Department, if you recall. There was ALWAYS a discrepancy between what the Democrats wanted, and what actually happened.
Maybe read the original authorizing document?
We're going around in circles, practically speaking totally different languages. But we're both stubborn as heck, aren't we?
I don't remember reading the original authorizing document. I mainly remember news coverage and internet talk. I did read some concluding document that I wasn't impressed with. The main theme as far as news and internet jabber went, form the beginning was Trump stole the election with the help of Russia. And I constantly heard how he was on the brink of going to prison. How terrified he was. And seeing all the Trump in orange jumpsuit and behind bars memes and politcal cartoons, and it all seemed like complete nonsense to me.
And this latest; the Jan 6th hearings and investigations, now coupled with the "nuclear documents" investigations and hearings, just seems like more of the same as I described above.
Now while I could spend a lot of time watching hearings and reading reports and all that, it's still a wait and see situation. So since I'm not involved in the process, I'll mainly wait and see. Right now it's wait and see between now and the midterms. I'm really more interested in seeing how all of this, including Biden's speech, and anything that comes up between now and November effects the outcome of the midterms. I think if the Democrats loose a lot of seats in the House and Senate, it will probably be game over for the whole shebang.
So you have formed and are stubbornly holding onto an opinion based on your memory of events without ever having looked up the one document that matters? The worst part for me is I can't even call you out for that because I know as well as anyone that we all have to make choices on how we spend our time, and I've unknowingly argued opinions that, it turned out, could easily have been refuted. It's human nature, but, dang, its annoying sitting on the other side of it.
Let me help you out, it takes less than a minute to read:
https://www.justice.gov/archives/opa/pr ... 1/downloadPrimary purpose: Russian interference.
Scope: allowed to include investigation into individuals associated with the campaign of Donald Trump.
Note: complete lack of authorization to investigate Donald Trump himself.
Given the scope and my note are open to some interpretation, be aware that Mueller has stated he felt the document did NOT give him authority to investigate Donald Trump, the individual, and he did not do so.
I realize you don't care. So be it. But ... my opinion on this is weighing a whole lot heavier than yours.
