Mueller report: Criminal probe into Russia inquiry begins BBC
Why is the Mueller report being investigated?
The administrative review of the Mueller investigation began in May. It is being overseen by US Attorney General William Barr and is run by US federal prosecutor John Durham.
Mr Durham will have the power to summon witnesses and documents and to enrol a grand jury that could bring criminal charges.
He was tasked with determining whether the collection of intelligence on the Trump campaign in 2016 was lawful.
Mr Durham is widely respected and known for investigating links between FBI agents and organised crime, and investigating the destruction of CIA interrogation videos.

But is it all too late? Will Democrats, once again skate, ala Hillary Clinton?

@earl-of-trumps saidI don't know about skating like Hillary, but I think they would do well to ignore all subpoenas.

How's that working out so far?

@earl-of-trumps saidNone of this matters at all. America no longer has checks and balances, with McConnell and Barr running interference for Trump, he can tell the House and the American people F-You! and do exactly as he pleases, just as he's done for 3+ years. Subpoenas, evidence, and testimony no longer matter. It's all been reduced to a bunch of chattering lawyers and stacks of legal briefs, not worth a roll of toilet paper. The only backstop left is an election in November. 🙄

@earl-of-trumps saidWouldn’t it be something if the narrative distraction dug up something new on Trump.

Not the best of links but too lazy tonight. It is however, the Friday release I was
trying to find in the first place. Nunes wants indictments.

@philokalia saidThe evidence was sufficient for any non thoroughly corrupt political party to quickly toss him aside as the criminal he is.
Some of my fondest memories were the monster threads of people earnestly explaining that tbjs is the end of Trump and how amazing all the evidence is.
Was disappointing to not be on the forum when it all collapsed

@no1marauder saidThis is basically how it has to work now, right: You have to claim that the US government is fundamentally corrupt in order to maintain support for the conspiracy that Pres. Trump somehow collaborated with the Russians at the highest level to corrupt US democracy.
The evidence was sufficient for any non thoroughly corrupt political party to quickly toss him aside as the criminal he is.
When you believe in conspiracies, you have to invest in the idea that all manner of institutions are fundamentally corrupt to maintain a belief in your conspiracy.
@philokalia saidI don't have to believe in any conspiracy to conclude that Trump committed acts that warrant impeachment.

You never even glanced at the Mueller Report, did you? And that didn't even cover impeachable offenses like blatant violation of the Emoulments Clauses (basically every day in office) and his campaign finance violations.

@no1marauder saidI understand how the emoluments clause works: the Clintons can solicit massive donations to their foundation while in the White House but Pres. Trump is held to a standard that exceeds anything previously existed.

It is on similar, spurious grounds that Pres. Trump is said to have done things warranting impeachment.

Not responding to subpoenas allowed Trump to skate.
Unless Trump has all the judges in his pay, it shouldn't take long to determine that there is just no "there" there.
And you never answered your own question: Why is the Mueller report being investigated?
You seem to somehow think that the Democrats share in the Republican corruption. Sorry, but this is ALL on the Republicans. They own every ounce of corruption in government.
They skated through the Mueller investigation and the impeachment hearings giving ZERO testimony, except for a continual re-telling of the Republican fairy tales about Biden and his son.
But here you are, thinking the Democrats are the bad guys. It would be laughable if it weren't so pathetic and pathological.
But this is what corrupt governments do. Conduct kangaroo courts. It's also what banana republics do.
By the way, your article is dated 9 months ago.
