My how interesting. Gosh. Conspiracy to overthrow the GOBERMINT!!!!! When will Obama be charged for his crimes? He's not prez anymore, so, if this is all true, why not string him up?
You do realize that Trump can still be tried for his crimes including soliciting a bribe from Ukraine after he's out of office, don't you?

Immediately after Trump asks Russia to dig up dirt on his political opponent, Russia starts hacking into the DNC. Then they find out that a Trump staffer is bragging about Russia giving them dirt on Clinton. They had no reason to not investigate Trump.
He is a criminal, and scammed his way into the White House and has been breaking the law trying to cover it up ever since.
And you are lying about Mueller, Trump's administration appointed him.

LoL.
He chided the dems because of the 'lost' emails on Hitleries hard drive.
He said, "maybe Russia knows where they are ..."
You socialists have no sense of humor.
Russia has been hacking all over the world, not just DNC.
They been doing private companies, government sites, anywhere.
Russia is not our friend.
But, they are mostly pretty inept.
China is the danger.

The entire email scandal was pushed by the Russian military, the fact that you are still here using the same language is telling what influences you.
Russia is attacking democracies across the world yes.
You say they are inept, but they are not unfortunately. And when Edward Snowden smuggled them the data files form the NSA they got a powerful weapon to use to attack our citizens online using all of the information people put out in the internet against them. If you are an American this is very important for you to understand. And if you have Facebook you have been being spammed by them for years now to get you to this point you are right now.
Trump has been working with at least the Russians to attack our democracy since 2015. Not China.

Breaking: Top Dem Demands Barr Testify On Trump's Flynn Scandal When Quarantine Ends, May Subpoena
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler makes news by announcing his committee is demanding Trump A.G. Bill Barr testify by June 9 -- the “very next day” after Washington, D.C.’s stay at home order ends – or potentially face a subpoena. Nadler made the remarks in an interview with MSNBC Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber, discussing controversies facing Trump and the Barr DOJ, including treatment of Trump advisers Mike Flynn and Paul Manafort. Nadler alleges Barr is “subverting the DOJ into a personal agent of the President,” and says the U.S. “cannot have a DOJ that is not impartial and that serves the personal interests of the President and not the interests of justice,” noting his committee is “prepared to do whatever we have to do” to make Barr testify under oath.

Federal judge mulls contempt charge against Michael Flynn
Judge Emmet Sullivan named a former judge to weigh the issue after the Justice Department filed a motion to dismiss the case against the former Trump national security adviser.
A federal judge is signaling that he might pursue perjury or contempt charges against former national security adviser Michael Flynn over his effort to abandon a guilty plea to a charge of lying to the FBI.
The Justice Department moved last week to drop the prosecution of Flynn launched by special counsel Robert Mueller, but U.S. District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan slammed the brakes on that effort by announcing Wednesday evening that he is appointing a former federal judge to argue against the government’s unusual bid to dismiss the case against an ally of President Donald Trump.
Sullivan’s order also directed the retired judge, John Gleeson, to recommend whether Flynn should face a criminal contempt charge for perjury — apparently for declaring under oath at two different court proceedings that he was guilty of lying to the FBI, before he reversed course in January and claimed he had never lied.
Sullivan’s announcement appears to shatter the hopes of Flynn’s defense team that the court case will quickly fade away. Instead, the retired general who spent a little more than three weeks as national security adviser before being fired by Trump faces a legal brawl that could drag on for months.
Gleeson, who was appointed to the federal bench in New York by President Bill Clinton and retired to enter private practice in 2016, has already staked out a position deeply skeptical of Attorney General William Barr’s decision to abandon the Flynn prosecution. The ex-judge co-authored an op-ed earlier this week that decried the move.
“Government motions to dismiss at this stage are virtually unheard of,” Gleeson and his co-authors wrote in The Washington Post. “There has been nothing regular about the department’s effort to dismiss the Flynn case. The record reeks of improper political influence.”
Sullivan‘s decision to put up some resistance to the Justice Department’s request could also renew pressure on Trump to grant Flynn a pardon that could forestall any further prosecution now or in the future. Trump and his allies had celebrated Barr‘s decision to sign off on dropping the charges against Flynn, and they appeared caught off-guard by the development. The move came as some of the former Justice Department and FBI officials, whose testimony was cited in the department’s dismissal motion, complained that their words had been twisted to justify it.
Asked about a pardon earlier on Wednesday, Trump said he did not want to discuss it, but added: “The FBI said he didn’t lie.” He was referring to Flynn’s pivotal interview with agents four days after Trump’s inauguration. They said they detected no signs of evasion or deceit during the session, even though they ultimately concluded and Flynn eventually admitted that his statements were false.

This should get interesting.
Judge Weighs Holding Michael Flynn In Contempt, Keeping Guilty Plea In Place
Judge Sullivan appointed a former judge to argue against a Justice Department motion to drop the charges against a former Trump administration official.
In an order on Wednesday evening, U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan exercised his “inherent authority” to appoint former judge John Gleeson to present arguments in opposition to the Justice Department’s motion to dismiss the case against the former Trump administration official. Gleeson co-authored a Washington Post op-ed titled “The Flynn Case Isn’t Over Until the Judge Says It’s Over.”
Sullivan asked the Gleeson to write up a brief to address whether Sullivan “should issue an Order to Show Cause why Mr. Flynn should not be held in criminal contempt for perjury.”
Sullivan’s order points to the glaring issue with the Trump administration’s attempt to dismiss the charges against a man who twice pleaded guilty in federal court to lying to the FBI about his communications with the Russian ambassador to the United States: If Flynn didn’t, in fact, lie to the FBI about his communications with the ambassador, then he lied to the judge when he repeatedly swore in court that he was guilty of that crime.
