Just realize the rest of the world was watching on, wondering how there was even a race between the internationally very well regarded Clinton and fucking Trump. Every other Democrat candidate is just a random nobody to us.

I'm not calling her crooked, my point is trump will be smeared just like she was.
You don't understand the absolute level of ire that Hillary had, and still has.
The most predominant feeling about Hillary from Democrats was "Well I'll vote for her if I have to I guess" and this was before that last minute Comey bomb.
Trump, meanwhile, while being a monster that struck a chord with white supremacists, also literally said "I'll make your dreams come true". We're a country of fucking idiots so a lot of believed him. Whereas Hillary was offering practical, intelligent plans for getting specific things done, Trump was saying shit like "HEALTH CARE WILL BE THE BEST UNDER ME!" and people believed him because they had no previous record to weigh against him. Now they will.
Look I'm not saying Trump 100% doesn't win in 2020, I'm just saying that things are a whole lot different from 2016.
That is the point of my post, yes. Outside the US, we just saw an hyper competent candidate losing. And we don't see a hyper competent candidate this time. Because even Biden is a 'Who?' in general regards. So that is why nobody really trusts the average American until after election day.
There is no indication there are any sealed indictments related to the Mueller investigation, let alone dozens. Sealed indictments are pretty common and you can't tell anything about them by looking at the docket. Anyone claiming there are dozens of Mueller-related sealed indictments is selling you a line of bullshit. (There might be some! But we have literally no idea.)
I *think* he means to say that despite being cleared, Hillary was still considered "crooked". And so Trump will still be considered corrupt/treasonous by the public, even if he is cleared.
What does "something happened before, it'll happen again" have to do with whataboutism?

"No knowledge of timing," Trump's lead lawyer, Rudolph W. Giuliani, wrote in a text message to the Post on Wednesday, when asked about the CNN story on the Mueller report.

Speaking of Rudy, what happened to him? It seems like he just fell off the face of the earth.
Edit: Looks like I spoke too soon
That's the tragedy of it. We are not smart people, and we're not especially interested in competence. Clinton was the most qualified candidate in decades, and made Trump look like the goddamned idiot he is in three consecutive debates, but none of that mattered. The electorate will always be vulnerable to an empty vessel who promises easy, overnight solutions to complex problems.
Junior on the run trying to hide that chin (or lack of rather) would be entertaining too. He'd give up once the Perrier ran out.
If it's next week, it's because Barr has shut down the investigation, and all we'll get is a "all clear, nothing to see here" from the WH.
Prepare for earthshaking smugness from the Trumpets when he is somehow completely cleared yet again.
Next week is the last week Rod will be overseeing Mueller because Barr hasnt done ethics review. It also crosses with Whitaker now not being involved.
They recently re-upped the grand jury for up to six more months.

To my knowledge that is people guessing. It seems to me that Mueller is a by the books guy and will keep his mouth shut and not have any deadman's switches since that would go against following "standard procedures" even if keeping everything under wraps harms America.
So is the argument that it's the last time it CAN be released without interference?
Thats all open to interpretation. I mean everything is but it could be Mueller sees it as a last shot or he sees it as Whitaker is gone, now they can release it.
I have to ask...
why?
After all we have seen... what makes you guys go.. "Well if it really is ready after a full 3 years of investigating, the five Trump aides that struck plea deals, the 37 people and entities charged, the 7 individuals that input guilty pleas, the 199 criminal counts and the 4 people already sentenced to prison; then I have to conclude that this will probably be pretty disappointing..."
I mean, I guess Im asking.... how long did this have to take to finish investigating? How many more guilty pleas and indictments? How many more prison sentences and clear acts of the President trying to end the investigation would it take for you to feel that "Hey... this might be a big deal". The bar just seems absurdly high considering how long this has taken and how much has happened.
When this thing first started I remember people saying no one would even be CHARGED. The bar has been punted so far by this point that I don't even recognize anything anymore.
I remember when this thing was wrapping up by Labor Day so it wouldn't fuck up the midterm vote.
Until a special counsel PR release hits breaking news, these sources don't mean shit.

Hearing from the dc lawyer inside circle that
Mueller has siphoned off some
Cases to other prosecutors on non Russia interference matters .
Apparently mueller has found no proof of criminal behavior from Trump himself in the Russia investigation but has found most of the campaign staff a willing participant in getting help from
Russia which in itself is not criminal . He has given the other non Russia interference but financial matters to sdny and other prosecutors which some believe is where legal jeopardy exists for Trump

Lol ok this post in response to the one you quoted got me, almost spit water at my screen
There's no political will in the Senate to do anything, regardless of what the report says, anyway. It'll probably just be that there were mistakes, as one would expect from a campaign of outsiders, and nothing happens. My expectations are very low.
More importantly, for those of us who were silly/young enough to believe in the system, the damage is done and will most likely never be repaired.
