Trump the dog.

Mueller did his job. Dont think for a second tha the long time conservative Republican is trying to save his party and the domestic Republican agenda.

He was never on the side of Republic.

1500 radio stations to take free potshots at mueller and investigators and trump critics all day long

we let limbaugh/putin lead 1500 radio stations yelling about the 'deep state coup' for 2 full years without a peep of challenge. now it's established fact for a huge part of the population, enabling the assault and intimidation of the investigators.

now he's got a family, and these motherfucking GOP congressaasses are going to spend their question time asking him bullshit to trap him into declining questions to protect sources etc so they can insinuate he was part of a conspiracy

and if mueller was part of a coverup he wouldn't do 400 pages full of ammo for politicians, media, investigators

It's 45's and Putin's Machine.

It will grind public consciousness and care for a future to a complete halt if we don't stop it.

really easy and cheap now to transcribe/digitize talk radio so advertisers can be easily listed and associated with content with little listening needed, as described at republiconradio.org, using sonix.ai for $5/hr for instance.

it wouldn't take much activism before the ad industry would have to start asking clients if they want to be advertising on rw radio (instead of bundling and rotating them onto it without their control). they'd lose half their radio advertisers otherwise

or if someone started developing software to automate the process it would not take long to get ad industry's attention. a lot of stations would have to drop rw radio for other programming.

other stations in the Channel One territory, where Channel One is a monopoly that blocks competition.

Some deep pockets and lawyers would be needed to create competition for low population regions that can't support them.

Whole broad swaths of communications territory are vulnerable to rw monopolistic communications where gerrymandering, fear of the foreign help keep their senators' jobs and churches full.

It's good that AI can do what you say, but there has to actually be somewhere for ad buy to go to start with. There isn't.

You’d think he’d buy some air time, lol.

more sinister but factually verifiable.

to AI . flushrush was very bad for them. AI changes everything and there still will be advertisers for rw radio but a large percentage will drop off htose stations when the ad industry realizes it has to ask advertisers if they really want to be associated with the hate and lies. talk radio is not good business, iheart/clearchannel went $20 BIL in debt. the ad industry will have to stop pushing unenthusiastic advertisers on those stations or risk losing huge numbers of them to boycott actions that piss them off..

Artificial intelligence now makes it very easy to list talk radio advertisers
1) Record
Quicktime, on every Mac, is a basic app for recording audio streams. While playing the stream turn on Quicktime, go to 'File' and 'New Audio Recording'. Turn on the recorder and when you're done save it. With Quicktime it is necessary to have volume on. Other recording apps will allow recording multiple streams at the same time, pre scheduling, and editing.
2) Transcribe
At $5/hr and under, Sonix.ai may be the cheapest, quickest, and easiest transcription service. An hour takes minutes and is very accurate. When it's done they send an email with a link to the transcription in their editing program where it can be downloaded or tweaked and corrected on their site as you listen. It can also be stored there. The monthly subscription is $15 but they offer a 30 minutes free trial.
3) Search for "DOT" to identify advertisers
Live recordings of radio streams include advertisements and most announce web sites transcribed as "so-and-so-company dot com". Most advertisers can be found by searching for the word "dot". Sometimes the ads provided phone numbers. The Sonix text editor allows you to highlight and add notes. Each company or quote can get a note that is listed and numbered. The notes can then be copied and pasted elsewhere.
4) Contact
Most websites provide phone numbers and email addresses specifically for contact by potential customers. Complaint emails may get further up the chain of command than a phone call, and there's a lasting written record for employees to pass around. It may also be easier for sympathetic staff to pass on a comment to a boss in email form than personally.

What he has to say may not be appropriate for prime time. Let him say what he needs to behind closed doors. He could very well be having an LBJ reaction when Johnson found out Nixon went to S. Vietnamese in secret to sabotage the peace talks. How much does the public need to know and what is the best way to disclose it without jeopardizing national security more than it already has been.

private he could respond to the republican bullshit by prefacing every answer with "well, that's what limbaugh said a million times but..."

no one on either side of the isle wants Mueller to testify.

closed doors. Trump tried to discredit his work by making it a Mueller vs. Trump investigation. The less the report is personalized, the more it holds up as based on a non-partisan judicially sponsored product. Television will turn the hearing into an event, a show.
I don’t honestly get how our side could turn on Mueller with such a degree of personal insult and hostility.
In over 400 pages, he and his team have laid out a case to be used for impeachment and future criminal charges. In fact, it is the roadmap all the pundits, media, Democrats are referring to as the argue for impeachment.
This hyperbolic criticism—that Mueller is a coward, hiding something, himself colluding—reeks of sour grapes, anger that the report did not magically remove Trump.
It is also anger misplaced.
Better those hurling the insults support the House as it exercises the many options it has, both for bringing this particular investigation’s discoveries to the public, and for going beyond it.

That speaks for itself.

Not really sad just tired. I am sick of apologists. This mess will not end well.

supported Democrats, and your assumption that Mueller’s desire not to testify in front of cameras
Is ideologically influenced. You ignore that claim.
I had no response to your fury; as to your prediction, the report is certainly not good news for Trump. Its findings and the evidence used to produce them can not change; they will provide the foundation for actions, now up to the House.
Meanwhile, 14 investigations are ongoing. And the House intelligence Committee will pursue the
counterintelligence side, which, although not a part of the report, had several embedded agents representing it.

Some people fell for the bs that Trump was really this dislike/mad at Mueller. Just like people fell for the Russia propaganda against Clinton. Trump and the gop are un-American.

When a President of the United States supports a North Korean dictator, not just jailing but executing what they see as political opposition, warehousing children in cages and worst of all vacating government ignoring the constitution this is not normal.

The entire investigation was lead by Republicans which made me very dubious if they would actually due their duty by the nation. Why didn't Mueller say that his finding conclusively demonstrate that Trump committed obstruction of justice? I just don't buy it when hundreds of former prosecutors have stated in writing that the evidence is iron clad. If Mueller is the all American Boy Scout that he is advertised to be then I would think he would be in front of the cameras demanding justice. Seeing Rosenstein standing behind Barr was enough to make me throw up as Barr willfully misled the nation. I regard Mueller silence as unacceptable. Rosey is in Trump's pocket and gladly stabbed Comey in the back. I have concluded that every damn Republican is the enemy of the Republic.

investigations, cases to be prosecuted, grand jury proceedings, and the counterintelligence evidence FBI, embedded in the Trump-Russia probe, gathered, by making speeches to the public!

He would totally discredit himself as the lead in the Trump-Russia probe, possibly give grounds for
cases to be thrown out, certainly throw evidence into question, and fuel Trump and Barr’s argument against all these proceedings and the report for at least the next two years.

The prosecutor's attorneys are the ones making the charge in court as representatives of the legal system. He is playing the part of the police who investigate and turn over their finding to the prosecutor's office that then gains the approval to proceed with the charges as being substantive for trail.

to denounce our corrupt administration. A DA’s office is not bound by DOJ rules. So the comparison does not hold. Should Mueller have broken the policy against indicting a sitting president? I am not sure. I don’t know enough to consider the pros and cons. I’d be looking at how a change in policy could be used to haul off our next Democratic president.

I only responded to what you had written. If Trump was not being protected by some dubious interpretation of the law and especially nothing in the Constitution to justify it, he would be sitting in jail and raising bail. As hundreds of former prosecutors have stated they would have indicted him on the iron clad evidence. Let's just forget the rule of law and let Trump do what ever wishy-washy prosecutors like Mushy Mueller allow his to do including throwing people in jail like the people he so admires such as Kim Jong Un and Putin. I hold that it a damn sham at best. Mueller knows exactly what he is doing. Let's see what multi-million dollar pseudo job that he lands for services rendered that he will be awarded by his grateful fellow Republicans.

You have Nicole Wallace, Ana Nivaro, and many others Republicans that loath Trump. We don’t really know where Muller falls.

We are supposed to trust institutionalist, after watching Barr and Graham (with his walkbacks) I do not trust them. Good for the handful of Republican retirees who show a little concern.

...of being dirty. I never really thought either he or Comey were before, but I’m beginning to wonder.

He seems to be putting party above our laws and principals. He is among the worst disappointments of my life. I thought was different, the one Repug who actually cared about country and constitution - but it seems I was so very sadly wrong.

So disappointed. It feels maybe he's putting ego even over party. Like he wants to keep his reputation pristine. That testifying publicly will put too much light on his fallible self and disagreement with the party and Barr.

I say, tough shit. What makes him so special? He was paid to do a job. Now he needs to finish it, in public. The whole point was for our country, we the people who are the country, to learn the truth. Since when is one man's feelings more important than the truth, and the safety of our democracy?

Mueller's need for private hearings is astoundingly selfish, in my opinion.

the awful truth emerges. Tragic.

email investigation but I do respect that he speaks out about the atrocities of Trump administration.

When he stopped working, Mueller forgot to drop off an unabused copy of our property, at our House, before he took off.

the purpose of the investigation was to lay the ground work for others (meaning Congress) to follow and act on.

Maybe I’m giving him too much credit. But I did read one report that he was most concerned about Republicans spin during a public hearing. Maybe he is afraid that they will feel compelled to perform more for Trumps pleasure in a public forum and that the truth has a better chance of emerging if the whole thing is more low key.

Our expectations of Mueller were/are overblown: in his role as special prosecutor, he's clearly not a stalwart patriot willing to put himself and his reputation on the line for the good of the Republic. He's more like a competent contract employee....good at his proscribed responsibilities, but clearly less concerned about the ultimate fate of our democracy than his allegiance to the rules by which he supposedly operated.

Too bad, now perhaps more than ever, we needed someone in his position who was willing to openly speak truth to power. Mueller turns out to have been the wrong man at the wrong time. The Nation will suffer for it.

No, people aren't "...upset that Mueller doesn't behave like the left-wing's Roy Cohn." They're upset that he is unwilling to put our Republic's welfare ahead of his reluctance to openly speak truth to power.

support from the criminal party he has served his entire adult career?

Mr. Mueller, perhaps history will vindicate your silence. At this moment in time, I am disappointed you call yourself a Marine. Your inaction is an embarrassment for those in uniform who serve in the courts of military justice.

He untangled the mess with Russian election interference and documented it in the first half of volume 1 of the Mueller report. He documented Trump appointees’ interactions with Russian agents. And in volume 2, he documented, in detail, how Trump obstructed justice at every turn. But only a handful of people read the report. Millions in the country don’t care about it; still more people cling to Trump’s spin about no collusion.

We were wrong to consider Mueller to be some kind of savior of the republic. The only thing that can start to change our country is us. With our votes. That’s it until Democrats have more of a stake in government from the local to federal levels.

Our resistance is working to an extent, but we need to grasp the levers of power again.

I’m more stressed today than usual. I am avoiding news for the most part, but it’s nearly impossible to escape how Trump is trashing the U.S. and giving cover to those authoritarians who want to see the U.S. destroyed. For all we know, he could have opened the floodgates to government computer networks so Russia can vacuum up as much information as it wants.

I feel tormented by the cover ups of migrant children’s deaths by the federal government, too. And so many other things. I’m going to put the internet down for a while.

Good advice...

Enjoy today's final meal in rememberance of the fallen.

Barr has succeeded in totally misrepresenting the report.

4-page bullshit "exoneration" summary and won themselves a PR coup.

He’s alive and well. Living a great life.

Many soldiers, airmen, sailors, etc. are not.

Not a good comparison if that was your intention.

My post has nothing to do with memorial day. I had to work today, it was any like any normal Monday for me.

Not for many others.

Why not just come out publicly and defend and justify your conclusions?

i look forward to Mueller testifying but i know that will not change anything when it comes to Republicans in Congress and the maga trash that supports Trump.

because (My opinion) he'll have to admit that Barr interfered with the investigation and cut it short.

All you - and the rest of us outsiders besides a very small group of people involved in the discussions - is that Miller has told the Judiciary Committee that he would rather give his opening statement publicly and then testify without cameras but on the record with a transcript available to the public.

The rest is just conjecture and unfounded hysteria.

… can testify next week. He can resign and call the NYT or WJ. He can deliver a soundbite that would start impeachment proceedings... he has not and I think we're beyond the point... he may never do any of that... He does not thing Trump is that big a threat, I guess... Mueller will collect his paycheck, enjoy his tax cut, and marvel at the conservative Supreme Court. He will probably defer questions to the report and say other things are referred to other investigators. He may consider his involvement done.
