    Probably because that would be much more entertaining and enlightening than discussing Mueller's latest nothing-burger.

      Mueller's work has spawned a web of investigations digging deeper into Trump’s inner circle. Five of Trump's closest associates have been indicted. Coincidence?? The probability is the involvement of Trump himself...he spoke with these people on a daily basis. Several were directly involved with Trump's campaign and had Russian connections.

        That's sure some fancy footwork.

        Wouldn't it have just been easier to admit that none of Mueller's indictments have any direct implications for the Trump campaign?

          Well we won't know for sure until Mueller releases his report. This is assuming that Trump can't find a way to stop that happening as he seems to be trying to do. Why, one wonders. What we do know for sure is that Cohen, Manafort and the other close associates of Trump, are all accused or convicted of crimes and have had connections with Russia. Suspicious, or what!

            In a "gee I really hope this stops Trump" kinda way, perhaps.
            The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

            • Wake me up when they have some solid evidence worthy of being discussed.

              As for whether Trump is a Christian or not. I'll refer to this comment from Orson Welles.

                      I see I need to explain this to someone that doesn’t grasp how to use a dictionary. Dear Jimmy, social Christian is a term used to describe someone that makes claims of Christianity for social reasons, but does little to nothing to show it. Say a person that lives in a Christian dominated society that claims to be a Christian, but lives their life as though they are not.

                        I think that was a weak attempt at humor. I know a few anti-social "Christians", but, for the most part, we're a very social lot.

                            On the other hand, note that Trump is not a career politician, and is no one's idea of a decent actor.
