Those meetings weren't illegal.

You do know that Tony Podesta is John Podesta's brother, right?

Those meetings were totally illegal coordination with a foreign country to influence an election, conspiracy to except stolen goods ( dnc emails)', just to begin with.

Btw jr. Not only admitted these crimes he turned over the evidence.

Why do you take such leaps?

It doesn't prove anything. It is part of a picture that Mueller is trying to get a handle on.

You seem to be implying that Mueller went in with a foregone conclusion and is just trying to force the pieces to fit that conclusion. Is this what you think?

That's exactly what I believe.

Multiple meetings by multiple members of the trump campaign with Russian nationals with close ties to putin while he was actively illegal trying to influence the election in favor of your favorite con artist.

There's nothing illegal about that.

Are 2 indictments and 1 guilty plea a witch hunt?

Two indictments that have nothing to do with Trump or Russia.

Guilty Plea: A unpaid volunteer who admitted to everything except he gave the wrong date of when he met with a Pro-Russia College Professor. Who as part of a plea deal wore a wire and got information that further exonerated President Trump and his campaign.

Mueller who as recently released FBI files show, knew The Russians were bribing American politicians but covered it up because they were all Democrats.

Ya. lets keep this S**t of an investigation going.

Ah yes there is, you can pretend all you want but the dominoes have started to fall.

You are confusing collusion and coordination. Collusion is a grey area, coordination is flat out illegal.

Doesn't matter who you supported in the primaries, you support Trump feverishly now.

Actually, the only thing I do "feverishly", is push back against lib nonsense.

Just how much can you lie? Your "unpaid volunteer" was introduced to the media by Trump himself as a member of his foreign policy team, an expert in oil and gas!!
It has been confirmed that he tried to hook up several members of the trump team with Russian nationals who had emails of Hillary, and now we also learn that not only was Sessions involved, but he lied about it to Congress. That in itself is a federal offense.

Trump campaign saying they had NO contact with Russians. Sessions, Popadopolus, Trump Jr. And Kushner all lying about not having ANY meetings with the Russians. Then it changed to, well there was one meeting, oh wait there were several meetings, oh wait that is commonplace. Have you been living under a rock for a year to not notice that?

Yep, that's why you don't acknowledge that the Trump campaign has LIED about having NO contact with Russians and now their story has changed CONSIDERABLE over the year. Again, you show you are a TRUE Trump supporter through and through.

I wonder how much longer it'll be before congressional Democrats will be calling for an end to the Mueller witch hunt.

You know, I have been thinking a bit on why Donna Brazile felt embolden enough to throw Hillary Clinton under the bus in her new book. My conclusion is because she knows the Clintons and anyone in their inner circle which includes the Podesta brothers, Debbie Wasserman Shultz etc. are finished. They are all currently ensnared in some serious investigations of wrongdoing.

Last week when so many stories broke, the Republican heads of multiple investigating committees said their Democrat counterparts are not real happy about the latest revelations and turns in their investigation.

A silver lining that could result in all of this is lobbying laws get tougher, and enforced. Another thing that should happen is every member of Congress be required to report every spokesperson, lobbyist, ambassador, etc. of or representing a foreign government so as to be able to easily cross-reference any campaign contributions they may have taken from as well as looking to see if that money in some way influenced a vote.

I don't see why targeting Podesta will do it. Can't speak for unnamed congressional Democrats, but Podesta appears to be about like Lanny Davis - amoral political operatives who will lobby for anyone with a check book, backed by an account with sufficient zeros following the first number - political mercenaries. Personally, I couldn't care less about Podesta's fate here. If he broke the law, string him up with the rest of them.

Going after Podesta points more towards Clinton than President Trump. If things keep creeping towards Clinton the Climtonettes won't be as excited about the investigation.
