A Newly Revealed Memo Details the Scope of Robert Mueller's Investigative Mandate
(WASHINGTON) — Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein explicitly authorized the Justice Department’s special counsel to investigate allegations that President Donald Trump’s former campaign chairman colluded with the Russian government, according to a court filing late Monday night.
Special counsel Robert Mueller’s team of prosecutors included that detail in a memo defending the scope of their investigation, which so far has resulted in criminal charges against 19 people and three Russian companies.
________________
Likely the first time we have officially seen evidence of investigation of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. Looking at the court filing we see the following blatantly stated (p. 281):
Allegations that Paul Manafort:
Committed a crime or crimes by colluding with Russian government officials with respect to the Russian government's efforts to interfere with the 2016 election for President of the United States, in violation of United States law,
Committed a crime or crimes arising out of payments he received from the Ukrainian government before and during the tenure of President Viktor Yanukovich:
[Redacted]
This was approved by Rosenstein and put forward by Mueller, indicating that there is an official investigation into collusion between Manafort and the Russian government for collusion in the election.
In the end, there will be enough hard evidence to prove to the nation that Trump is one step away from treason .
Meanwhile: Bill and Hillary Clinton took cold hard cash (millions) from Russia and it was A-okay!
rotflmao!
What the hell does that post have to do with the OP? Four posts into the thread and you are already attempting to derail the thread with a "Whatabout the Clintons" post.
If you are that interested in discussion what the Clintons did or did not do WHY DON'T YOU START YOUR OWN THREAD TO DISCUSS IT? Jesus!
Meanwhile: Bill and Hillary Clinton took cold hard cash (millions) from Russia and it was A-okay!
rotflmao!
That never ever happened- never! You are all bullshyte
Ahem...
Actually, the Clintons took payments from Russia/Russian interests (see below). Sadly, your investigation has found no evidence of this for Trump. yet it continues. However, I will start another thread on this subject so you guys can stick with the one-sided narrative in this thread that the Left is desperately clinging to! lol

In the end, unless the Dems get the senate and the house, the Republicans and Trump's supporters wouldn't care. The ends justify the means and his supporters have a "Burn American down" mentality. The Republicans will never act as a whole to impeach Trump even if he was caught red handed in the proverbial cookie jar.

Let's stay on topic here.
Can you show the conviction of Clinton? From what is seems like you refuse to see the mountains of evidence with Trump and are desperately clinging to Clinton. You can pretend that Clinton colluded with Russia to steal an election but there is no proof of that. Especially once you consider that she didn't steal the election. She lost.

The court filing says that he should look into these allegations, not that there is evidence that these allegations are true. The outcome of that angle of the investigation could be anything from nothingburger/closed to ermahgerd/treason. It makes for fun speculation and conversation, if that's your thing.
In the end, this "development" only means that collusion was on the list of things Mueller was supposed to look into, and I thought that was already known.
It shows that Mueller is specifically looking into Manafort's possible collusion with Russia.

Lay off the lame whataboutism's. They are weak and usual fraught with ignorance, as is this.
In a whataboutism you are admitting you can not defend the allegations, so in this case you are acknowledging Trump's corruption. Those on this thread appreciate your acknowledgement you can not defend Trump here. We get it. It is indefensible.
.... and what makes this whataboutism particularly weak is that what you allege isn't even remotely in the same league as the allegations Trump. I assume you are either referring to the Uranium One deal and/or Clinton's Global Initiative. You do realize the Clinton's derived no personal gain from either. These were substantially "trumped" up allegations just to appeal to the ignorant masses. Neither had any traction because informed people could see through the shallowness of these.
Since you could not defend Trump, you should have just stayed silent. That reminds me, do you know who is responsible for this quote:
"..... Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt...."?
It seems to be some difference of opinion.
