So why are you here if we are all delusional in this thread? To practice your cool memes on a slow night? Lots going on in FLorida to Meme about. I'll stick to digging through documents.
I am trying to understand why the Meuller investigation sham persists in the face of overwhelming cause to shut it down and prosecute the key players for misconduct. You and others post a lot of interesting data and analysis that suggests that the Trump administration could not only end the Mueller investigation but put many of the conspirators behind bars. Yet, no one has been held accountable for the range of misdeeds from simple unprofessional conduct to felony conspiracy to undermine the election system.
Any explanation that ultimately rests on the argument that "Trump is taking the high road and will not use the tactics that the conspirators used against him" is not credible to me. If Trump had a legal team and leadership at DOJ that would allow him to execute night time search warrants at the homes of Brennan, the Podesta brothers, DWS, and many others he would. If Trump had competent leadership in key positions at DOJ the officials who have refused to produce evidence subpoenaed by Congress would be relieved and jailed immediately for thumbing their nose at the legislative branch. The only people who get the Manafort & Flynn treatment are Manafort and Flynn because the Trump appointees are not doing their job.
The Trump team does not have the will to use the mountains of evidence that are piling up. I don't understand why and the explanations of timing don't make sense to me. If there is a strategy (means and actions connected to achieve objectives) to defeat the conspiracy I can't see it. The fight against the corruption of the Democrats and their completely partisan independent counsel is not a game of maneuver but rather of attrition.
I see many parallels in the Russia hoax conspiracy with the Civil War and Lincoln's struggle to find a winning General to put down the rebellion. Lincoln made George McClellan the commander of his Army and McClelan was tentative and ineffective in leading the larger and better equipped Union forces to defeat the wily maneuvering of the Confederates led by Lee. Time and again McClellan failed to use his forces to achieve a decision and was more fearful of defeat than he was determined to achieve victory. When victory was within his grasp he bedded down to rest his forces instead of pressing the advantage.
Jeff Sessions has played the part of McClellan so perfectly in this allegory that I would not be surprised if he now declared his intention to challenge Trump and run for President in 2020 like McClellan did against Lincoln. If Trump has now found his Grant in Whitaker then I would expect to see Whitaker employ Grant's strategy, i.e. "Your objective shall be Lee's Army. Wherever Lee goes there you will go also." Like Lee, Mueller has run circles around the Trump administration DoJ because the most senior and politically savvy members of the DoJ apparently seceded and have been fighting for the confederacy. The press is happily playing the part of the Copperhead Democrats urging the President to sue for peace and apologize. If there is anyone playing the part of Sherman in this analogy it would be the DA from the Southern District of NY who is going scorched earth on those that Mueller's team has targeted through the FISA court surveillance.
The Russia hoax Civil War melodrama now appears to be at the point in the Civil War where the Army of Northern Virginia invades Maryland and a copy of their campaign plans (wrapped around a bundle of cigars) have been dropped on the side of the road and recovered by the union. The union leadership is still debating whether the plans are real or an intentional deception and instead of proceeding at full speed to block the invasion at Antietem creek. They are dragging their feet and piecemealing their forces in slowly and heading for yet another bloody but indecisive engagement.
