As I understand it, congress and some of the news people have seen briefs of what will be in the final report.
Interestingly, we are getting two very opposite spins on what it says. The left are claiming (perhaps a bit too hard) that it will take Trump down, or at least get him indicted when he leaves office. The right is saying that the report will vindicate Trump.
Two issues seem to be at the center of it; supposed campaign finance violations, and Trump's apparent negotiations to build a hotel in Russia, which reportedly included a swanky penthouse for Putin.
Moral judgements aside; I wonder if either are actually illegal. Regarding the campaign finance issue; they revolve around hush money paid to Stormy Daniels and another gal. I suppose the details will be the determining factors, but it's my understanding that such payments made by an individual using private money would not violate campaign finance laws. The left is trying to make it look like any and all money spend during a campaign applies.
As to the Russia issue...the timing of it admittedly is not the best, but again, is it illegal? if Trump had not been a candidate at the time, it would have just been an international business deal, yes? So what makes it collusion? I suppose the devil will be in the details of this as well.
But again, the howling from the Dems tends to make me think that nothing will come of it, and they are just using the issue to fire up their sheeple base.
The interesting stuff that is just recently coming to the forefront is the renewed investigation into the Clintons. The email scandal is back, they are looking into the Clinton Foundation dirt again, and Uranium One seems to be getting dug into big time. Why on the latter? There's some indication that this will not only look bad on Hillary, but also Mueller.
I get the impression that the timing of all this is not by accident, and that the stuff on Clinton and Mueller is being brought back to life just now as a counter to the Mueller report on Trump.
I think things are about to get interesting, and that this will only confirm what many of us already knew, that Washington is sick and corrupt.
Any and all thoughts or comments are welcome. I'm curious to see how this will unfold.
