All things Trump + Russia Part 4

I believe that for Mueller, Trump is a small fry that he might be willing to toss back in the pond if he gets to cut the roots Russia has managed to sink into the US political process.
It will probably turn out that Trump and his campaign were more or less clueless stooges, , puppets of Putin, as Clinton said.
For his image, this might do more harm to Trump than being exposed as a criminal mastermind.

Agreed. But you can bet his true believers will claim Mueller and we just don't understand the 3 dimensional chess Trump was really playing.

Sadly, he plays 3 dimensional chess on a 2 dimensional board...i.e.-throwing a tantrum, tossing the pieces into the air, and declaring victory.

I've come to think of it as, we're playing chess and he's playing Rugby.

I doubt Trump is even playing checkers. But under this scenario, Robert Mueller's opponent isn't Donald Trump, it's Vladimir Putin.

And Putin's game was honed in the Cold War KGB and the post-collapse kleptocracy. The mind boggles at the kinds of deals he must have made, the favors granted and the hit jobs carried out, to convince the Russian oligarchs that they should let him rule the country.

I doubt there's been a president since Roosevelt, who was actually capable of playing chess on that level. If Mueller is going after Putin, he should probably settle for getting Trump.

Especially if all he has to show so far are nothing process crimes and unrelated offenses by Trump lackeys. You talk about Mueller throwing the little fish back in, because he wants the big fish. But he hasn't even caught the little fish yet.

*raises an eyebrow*

Uh huh. That's what you call all the "We're cooperating, so let us off easy, please" bargains in play? Sure looks like he's quite caught a whole bunch of little fish.

We shall have to agree to differ as I believe it is wrong to evade the restrictions the owners put in place just because I can't afford or want to pay what they wish to charge.
