Paul Manafort has been sentenced to 47 months in his Virginia case.  He still faces sentencing in DC next week.  The sentence was well below guidelines.

Trump being vindicated still wouldn't mean that Russia didn't interfere with our election.

Though I do agree that Trump's likely vindication is going to backfire horribly and possibly be the catalyst for what cements his re-election. Trump firing Mueller and catapulting the country into a constitutional crisis probably would have been the better result, in hindsight. Let's face it, Trump is invincible and the entire world will be doomed when he wins re-election.

I know that there are still other investigations going on which could spell harm for him, but those won't matter, not as long as Trump can keep reminding people that he was deemed innocent by the most noteworthy and media-focused investigation. It will also make the Democrats in the House more skittish about investigating him. Trump played his cards right by allowing the investigation to continue. I don't think he realized it until now, but he had nothing to lose. I guess for the sake of transparency, we should be grateful for that, but f*** it. I'm depressed by all this and I never even put that much hope in the Mueller investigation. I was always skeptical that it would bring Trump down but even tempering my expectations wasn't enough to rid me of despair.

And even if the report does contain some damning revelations, they still won't lead to Trump's removal from office and most Americans will probably stop caring and move on from being concerned about Trump's corruption (if they even were in the first place), which he still is, and always will be, even if the Mueller report doesn't back it up. Trump, and the people he surrounds himself with, have done so much that is corrupt that it's possible that Americans are just numb to it. Once more, Trump will have thrived on apathy and double standards. Hillary Clinton was vindicated from an investigation, yet it still helped sink her campaign for committing much lesser potential crimes. I hate this country.

Jesus Christ, this forum is insufferable.

Are you implying that there's a wee tendency to overreact? Wink

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Trump will win re-election now, I am incredibly confident that Mueller’s lackluster report and further  no indictments simultaneously help Trump and discredit the left. The left look like the shams they are.

On my phone. Blame Steve Jobs.

Typical Republican.  It's always somebody else's fault. Wink

For a team that went two whole years without leaking anything, it says a lot that they’re leaking now.

That point struck me too.

This is interesting if true, since it's a Republican-controlled committee:

Senate GOP vows to quickly quash any impeachment charges

Senate GOP vows to quickly quash any impeachment charges
By Alexander Bolton 10,802

GOP senators say that if the House passes articles of impeachment against President Trump they will quickly quash them in the Senate, where Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has broad authority to set the parameters of a trial.

While McConnell is required to act on articles of impeachment, which require 67 votes — or a two-thirds majority — to convict the president, he and his Republican colleagues have the power to set the rules and ensure the briefest of trials.

Oathbreaking lickspittles, one and all.

Sounds like a 60's band name.

It was a very weird mixed salad of ideologies. Ginsburg and Gorsuch de-scented, while Sotomayor and the other liberals joined an opinion written by Justice Alito

I truly love your speech-to-text app (not sarcasm).

Fake news absent confirmation from a credible source

I'm inclined to agree.  I read the whole thread and my impression is that Abramson is trying to sell his book.

Who would file charges for lying to Congress anyway?

It could be referred to the DOJ for investigation and possible prosecution.  Lying to Congress is a federal crime.

DOJ office of the inspector general releases their report on Comey's leak of his memos: https://oig.justice.gov/reports/2019/o1902.pdf.

TL/DR: Comey violated DOJ and FBI policies and his employment agreement.  He did not leak any classified information.  The findings were referred to DOJ, which declined to press charges.

On the theme of prosecuting Trump after he leaves office, today's Doonesbury comic is "The Future Tweets of Donald J. Trump."

Elmo would be premature.  So far Trump has managed to stave off all requests for the returns.

Can we change this to Impeachment-O-Rama now?

There should certainly be a stickied impeachment megathread, whether it's this one or a merge of the existing Ukraine/impeachment threads.
