Trump Unglued

I couldn't agree more. But then conservatives/true libertarians tend to focus on the issue more than their hatred of the person.

Not a word from the left over re Syria again gassing their people; just Trump's 'demeanor' whatever in the heck they mean by that.

Not a word re the highly irregular and alarming aspect of a special prosecutor who admittedly has found nothing to support Russian/Trump campaign collusion of any kind let alone anything actually illegal. Not a word about the highly irregular and alarming aspect of them seizing private records of the President's private attorney, one who had nothing to do with the campaign or the current Administration. Nope. They focus on the President's reaction and demeanor and not the fact that Russia is no longer an issue but we have an out-of-control person spending millions of dollars to find something, anything so the Democrats can impeach President Trump if they win the House back in November.

Not a word re positive things happening in jobs, manufacturing, border control, rising incomes, etc. etc. etc. Nope they want to believe the President is 'off the rails.' What they are doing is childish, destructive, hateful, and wrong.

I wouldn't say Mueller hasn't found anything illegal given the indictments of Manafort.

The evidence that Trump colluded is not there, but Manafort....I trust Trump more than I trust him.

What Manafort is charged with does not involve the Trump campaign in any way nor does it involve President Trump in any way. Therefore, in my opinion, the indictment of Manafort was outside of the special counsel's authority and should have been referred to the proper authorities to prosecute if prosecution is indicated.

Who cares who they blame their problems on.
Listen. If this is an excuse to confront Russia, make the rubber meet the road, okay, that's a strategy. A good one? I don't know. If Russia blinks first it'll have worked. But if it's just a drive-by demonstration of power with no intention of following-through, don't friggin' bother. Just let the usual gang of idiots sort it out.

The investigation is into Russian interference. If Trump's campaign manager was laundering money for the Russians, it certainly does fall under his jurisdiction.

I know you want to think this is a vast left wing witch hunt to get Trump, but the investigation isn't just about him personally. Manafort was Trump's campaign manager for crying out loud. Is money laundering ok if done by a Trumpette?

The mandate for the investigation was to look at Russia, the campaign, and interference in the election. Manafort's indictment had zero to do with that as did indictment of Papadopoulas and/or Flynn. The latter two are not even charged with doing anything illegal other than giving a false statement that might or might not have been inadvertent.

Going after Trump's personal attorney now is way beyond any mandate given the special counsel and should be cause for outrage from ALL of us who depend on the sanctity of attorney/client privilege which should be our unalienable right as much as the confidentiality of the confessional. If we allow that to be done to the President with impunity, no matter who the President is, it can be done to anybody. And America is no longer America but a police state where the citizens have no rights at all.
