What did people expect when a special council was appointed?
This would be the shortest investigation in special prosecution and special prosecutor history.
Even the scooter libby case with literal proof took over two years. Whitewater was more than 4 and ended up with a bj...
It's easy to fool people who have no frame of reference I guess.
The parties both somehow get people to squawk like geese in agreement with their confirmation biases. The confirmation biases programmed by the parties themselves.

If he has not done anything wrong let the investigation end what are you so afraid of?.
What a stupid response... How about the fact these investigations cost money (millions of tax payer dollars), and this money is being wasted on a frivolous investigation. Its a total witch hunt trying to find anything to trip Trump up and derail his presidency...

Y'all weren't so hot about frivolous investigations wasting taxpayer money when Hillary Clinton was the subject of 8+ investigations, none of which turned up a conviction. Heck, I understand that they have opened up or are trying to open up more against her.
So I really find your words here to be rather hollow. At least this investigation against Trump hasn't finished yet. Can't say the same about the plethora of investigations against Hillary.

Well, under Hilary things like Benghazi happened, they were not made up... The Trump collusion investigation has been a made up witch hunt since the beginning. It was created over a fake dossier and pushed along by Obama admin holdovers... If this is apples to apples in your eyes, then I don't know what to tell you...
Also, its sorta hard to conduct a proper investigation on Hillary when she has the President/AG/DOJ/FBI and many other government entities doing all in their power to protect her...

You raise a good point, should there be a limit on the Special Prosecutor's Time-frame. These things tend to paralyze Washington regardless of the Party in Power. That's hardly a good thing.
There has been ample discovery time to find the collusion between the Russian Govt and the Trump Campaign. I seriously doubt they are going to uncover anything new. What areas would they still need to investigate?

The investigation is the perfect example of "Political Madness". After 1 year and still nothing except a lot of questionable activity by the FBI and the Obama administration. It's so obvious that the only reason it continues is to keep Trump looking over his shoulder and to keep him from achieving his agenda. I hope the voters remember that in November. it's just another reason not to vote blue. The dems have become obstructionists.

Your statement isn't exactly true as Mueller has argued that mana fort was a back door to Russia. Also his findings haven't been fully revealed. There are charges not made public yet.
However there should be limits and oversight to a sure it doesn't run away like all the other special prosecutors have.
Honestly though 1 year would literally be the shortest special council ever. Scooter libby was 2 years and they had proof. Not just evidence.

Yes, the Mana Fort event was partially staged with Russian influence, but also with some guy from California who set it up if I remember right.. I think the set up was meant to unwittingly discredit Trump in case he won. If I remember right, people showed up to find she was just looking for donors for some charity, someone used the dirt to get attention so Trump's people would attend. ManaFort was being played also if I got that right. The guy who was involved in setting it up with Russia was a Liberal

I don't think you have a clue what Mueller does or does not have on people.
But the media sure thinks they do.

I don't think you have a clue either. None of us does for sure. Meuller is not producing any evidence to speak of that is worth the investigation.

There are? Can you point me to where the additional charges not made public have been talked about by Mueller's team?
The lawsuit Manafort filed sought to bar Mueller from bringing future charges against him

Perhaps Mueller has much much more than you or I know. Think back to the Russian indictments, none of us knew about those companies/activities. I suspect there is much more of that type.

Jeff Sessions was also an enemy of the civil rights movement, and refuses to accept scientifically valid advice about cannabis.
What he says, in terms of the worth of his critical thinking processes, can be assumed therefore to be HIGHLY suspect.
LOL. Cannabis? Really? Now cannabis becomes the measuring bar? The DOJ doesn't make laws, they enforce them. Your civil rights comment is blather as well.
I hope you know that the justice department and police unions are one of the bigger groups lobbying to keep cannabis illegal. Also, Sessions has done more than a few things that have inhibited the legal cannabis wave because he wants to keep the plant illegal. Don't pretend like the DOJ and Sessions are innocent here and "just doing their job".
Yep, a perfect example of the priorities of the left. Cannabis,LMAO. Give me my doobies. That way I wan't have anything but a smile on my face as the whole thing goes down. My contempt.

So what? He already recused himself from the investigation. His opinion on the matter is irrelevant.
