Actually, I don't think they have to wait. They could just issue a subpoena. What is stopping them? Decorum.

The reason why the Democrats aren't submitting a Saturday subpoena for something they technically haven't even been denied yet is because it's a pointlessly dickish move that doesn't really change anything, aka not behavior in keeping with good taste and propriety.

Willo567 posted:Wait, if we haven't actually heard anything about the report, what was everyone despairing over yesterday? Because the report was accompanied by a statement that everything was all done. While only the most deranged of idiots thought that Big Daddy Trump would be led out of the White House in cuffs, there's a lot of people in his circle who have tons of public evidence regarding their criminal behavior with regard to things under the special council's purview and none of them are in jail awaiting bail hearings today. Given that there was a lot of concern that Barr was being brought on as attorney general specifically to shut down the investigation and as soon as he's in office the investigation shuts down, it's pretty unsettling that everything is over without Don Jr or Kushner or a dozen other people have yet to be arrested. Right now, there's a faint hope that things aren't actually over over. And we don't know what the report actually says. It's also completely impossible to bury this poo poo show. If a complete report isn't turned over to congress, it will be subpoenaed and then read into the record. If the investigation was shut down as obstruction of justice, when Mueller testifies before the house (and he will testify before the house, this has always been unavoidable) he will talk about that since he has no reason to protect people who tried to throw him under the bus. Of course, even if there's a smoking gun Pelosi is on the record regarding being completely unwilling to even attempt to hold Trump and republicans responsible. Basically, there's a lot of signs that things are being hosed with and if they aren't then things are completely rotten and one of the lifelines that someone might try to hold people in power accountable has just been taken away.

Maybe this is a difference of lawyers versus laypeople, but I don't get pointing to Corsi, Stone, and SDNY as clear indicators that the investigation qua inquiry into Russian interference is ongoing. SDNY's focus has been different from the outset. If there's an indication they're moving forward with Corsi, that's news to me. I especially don't get the assertion that Barr shut things down. Were that the case, we would know it quickly, similarly to how the Comey debacle went down. This isn't that. Beyond conspiracy, I don't see a reason to see this as more than Mueller submitting a report and saying "I've done what was within my ambit and handed off the rest as appropriate." I get that Trump has broken many norms, and even more brains, but it would be a pretty severe erosion of the rule of law - considerably more than we have seen - to believe what y'all are suggesting or insinuating. In particular, handing off matters to different trial counsel isn't unusual, or at all a sign that Barr told Mueller that he needs to stop.

Between all the think pieces and bullshit and not knowing if I have the latest information on this, googling for it is a cluster gently caress in our current hellworld timeline. What was the end result of the questions Mueller sent to Two Scoops for his interview? Can they point out any "This this and this is where the president factually lied under oath, in black and white and here's how that is obstruction of justice"? Necessary disclaimer that I get it that he won't be frog marched out for having done so because he already admitted it live on national television and the Senate response was "Nothing to see here, move along." Still, something besides a wet fart nothingberder report would be cool.

As I said yesterday, I never expected the Mueller thing to end Trump's presidency like many on the Left apparently did. But why BRAG about how stupid people on the Left were to try to hype it up? I agree they should have tempered expectations, but it's super rage inducing to see the likes of Taibbi and Greenwald holding hands with filth like James Woods and Tomi Lahren about how awful the media was with Russiagate.

For those of you daunted by getting involved in local politics. Remember that it is allllll about relationships and things move a lot quicker on the local level. In just a short time of just chatting with people during happy hours I was chosen to represent a group in a conference call with government officials, in just a year I am managing a rolodex of local operatives to take down a county executive and takeover of a planning board. We are going to get rid of the legacy of red lining in Montgomery County through these efforts. Local level is fast and loose and 1 person can make one hell of a difference. My favorite saying is that "local politics plays with live ammo". You can take control of the levers and have an enormous effect on your community and state. Taking power away from regressives locally cascades upward to the state and national level.
