Trump targeted by FBI as Russian agent or asset.

Interesting stuff:
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC): “Number one, that story came from somebody who leaked it with an agenda, so I’d like to know who leaked it because they have an agenda not very friendly to President Trump, and I, for one, don’t trust what I read in The New York Times.
“I’m going to ask the FBI director, ‘Was there a counterintelligence investigation opened up regarding the president as being a potential agent of the Russians?’ I find it astonishing, and to me, it tells me a lot about the people running the FBI, McCabe and that crowd. I don’t trust them as far as I can throw them. If this really did happen, Congress needs to know about it. And what I want to do is make sure, how could the FBI do that? What kind of checks and balances are there?”Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
Than a fool in the eyes of God

Meanwhile, liberal pundits are starting to say that Mueller's report is "almost certain to be anticlimactic".
ABC's Johnathan Karl: "If you look at what the FBI was investigating in that New York Times report, you look at what they were investigating, Mueller did not go anywhere with that investigation. He has been writing his report in real time through these indictments and we have seen nothing from Mueller on the central question of, was there any coordination, collusion, with the Russians in the effort to meddle in the elections? Or was there even any knowledge on the part of the president or anybody in his campaign with what the Russians were doing, there’s been no indication of that [...]
"It has not added up to anything of the central question, again, was there anybody – was the Trump campaign aware of or coordinating with the Russians in their effort to meddle with the election. So far there’s been nothing on that and I’m led to believe don’t expect there’s going to be any."Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostThere has even been some speculation that the reason he loaded up his staff with liberal prosecutors and investigators with strong ties to the Democrat Party was to provide himself with cover when he releases his report. That way, after he indicates that there was no evidence of collusion, it will be harder to say that he was part of a cover up conspiracy. Personally I find that reasoning hard to swallow but it is an indication that folks realize that it is unlikely his report will contain anything close to a smoking gun and at best a few unanswered questions.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
