I think Mueller's sole goal right now is to dig up as much dirt on Trump as he can so the Democrats have something to use against him in three-years. The investigation is essentially tax-payer funded opposition research at this point.

A new policy that means that every presidential candidate is thoroughly investigated and all stages of said investigation to be made public could mean that future candidates have a lot less skeletons in their closet.Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostThat really took place after the election. Remember how surprised the media was concerning some of the things written in Obama's autobiography[1] several years into his term? They hadn't even bothered to read it but relied on reviews.

As I recall, the mainstream media went out of its way to not scrutinize Obama and put most of their efforts into dethroning HIllary who was the presumptive nominee, and later turned their sites on Sarah Palin who received considerably more scrutiny at their hands than Obama ever did. They were studiously disinterested in any of Obama's many unsavory and questionable connections ("Who is William Ayers?" "Just some guy in my neighborhood." "OK then! No need to look into that any further!"), and a study at the time of the election showed that for every one positive story about McCain, there were three about Obama, and for every one negative story about Obama, there were three about McCain. The reason nothing "stuck" is because the media did everything in their power to make sure it didn't stick.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
