with that said its now time to protect the players against the consolation prize.
we sent a guy like Mueller with his rep and a crack team of investigators in to find something. They have basically come up empty handed. There is a legitimate risk that what charges they have filed may not hold up. In addition the big fish is still out there untouched. So now we have to analyze the rest of the process to ensure these crack investigators do not manufacture something as their consolation prize.
thus you see the next phase. Trump has brought in hard nosed experience lawyers to finish this opera. The Mueller team is trying desperately to find something they can throw on the pile to make their efforts looks successful. Trump has brought in seasoned hard nosed lawyers to basically step on their fingers and force them to let go.
hopefully we can soon go back to the normal petty back and forth crap and get away from all this devisive politics that is disrupting our country.
