If you target 50 random people on K Street (DC) and 50 random people on Wall Street, give a motivated prosecutor no time limit and an unlimited budget, allow him to build a staff of lawyers who hate Washington and New York, within 18 months he'd have 134, not merely 34, indictments.

That old saying "Don't Mess with the US" comes to mind. Mueller and his team are true patriots. This country owes him a great debt of gratitude.

This is like watching Captain Ahab using a trawling net rather than a harpoon. When he’s done every little fish is gone from the ocean while Moby Dick swims free off into the sunset happily straining krill while we’re without even a minnow for ourselves and the Russians are eating caviar.

Once Mr. Mueller has finished with Trump's connections to Russia, perhaps he could then start on a new chapter: Trump's connections to Saudi Arabia.
40
George Ross, the senior counsel of the Trump Organization has neither flipped nor been charged with a crime by Mueller.
So goes George Ross, so goes Donald Trump.

A black teenager who steals a pack of cigarettes would see more jail time than these crooks. There should be tougher penalties for white collar crime.

And will the nation be any better for it?

Will your neighborhood be any better if police issue speeding tickets to drivers who break the speed limit. Laws on the books are to be obeyed & enforced. If they aren't the rule of law does not prevail & order in commerce, civil society, & personal affairs is impossible.
Too many Americans do not know what makes this nation great-the rule of law. No one is above the law in the U.S. We have dedicated public servants who make sure laws & regulations are followed. Cops to district attorneys to judges to POTUS. The problem is the current POTUS does not care about the law only how he can get around it to benefit. Too many Americans do not recognize that fact & that is why the world is shocked that we've appear to have turned our backs on American values that are respected the world over.

When they all start serving hard time.

Wow, looks like we've gone from Witch Hunt to Witch Catch!
27
There's only one person that matters and he is yet to be charged and that's president stupid.

BTO, as I have been reminded countless times for similar skepticism by numerous experts on the matter here, Robert Mueller III is a meticulous artistic master at this and the beauty of his masterpiece is that no one can actually see Mona Lisa’s face until precisely after the final stroke of paint is applied. We must be patient for oils take a lot longer to dry than do acrylics.

Q: WHY have NONE of the leading mafia figures in Trump's mob syndicate been named by Mueller?
Tony Salerno of the Genovese crime family
Paul Castellano: Gambino crime family
Joseph Weichselbaum, (an embezzler who ran Trump’s personal helicopter service and ferried his most valued clientele)
Felix Sater (Russian mobster leading the Trump organization, affiliated with Simenon Moglievich.)
The Nicky Scarfo mob
Kazakh mobster Tevfik Arif
Mobster John Staluppi
and on and on and on and on.
They don't WANT to open this can of worms involving vast criminal activity by many of the richest and most influential people on earth.
Far from a "Witch Hunt," extravagant efforts are underway to bury MOST of the important evidence against the Trump global cabal.

May the Ghosts of Accountability Past, Present, and Yet to Come make their entrance into Trump’s sordid life now.
20
It sure seems like this witch hunt has found plenty of witches...

Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!

I have a suggestion for NYT. Instead of analyzing every tweet and sensationalizing everything that Trump says, create a narrow front page section that is titled: Lies of DJT since Jan 20, 2017. In there, list every lie chronologically and provide links to fact-checking. Outside of this, do not sensationalize.
23
You make a excellent suggestion. The media are taking the soap opera reporting approach rather than explaining the meaning of this Administration's actions in the context of U.S. history, the rule of law/Constitution, & the road to a failed state & fascism.
What does POTUS commenting on the Fed mean & why commenting is an outlier?
What does not providing tax returns mean & why is critical to know how Trump's business is financed?
What does it mean when a POTUS calls for his opponents to be jailed & why is it dangerous to not openly disagree with that sentiment?
Common NYT.....you can do this.
10
Where does this end - "President Trump pardoning Donald Trump"?
6
Should this list include the un-indicted co-conspirator?
11
Democrats obtained the warrant for the Mueller investigation using fake evidence so Trump should pardon everyone.
4
The chief source of fake news in the US...Donald Trump. A normal person could not make this up.
24
The swamp dwellers.

Thanks for this chart. It's helpful to keep track of all the criminals in the crime family....
36
At this point it is rather obvious that his base and all the rallies are immune to any judicial truths. Cult? possibly. I personally am just looking to VOTE THEM ALL OUT and 2020 being Trumps 1 term presidency.

"Robert S. Mueller III has issued more than 100 criminal counts against 32 people and three companies"
Not one of which even remotely ties President Trump to Russian collusion - the original purpose of having a Special Counsel.
13
Manafort, Gates, Flynn, Cohen and Trump all have major ties to Russia and Russian funds. And Flynn was offering to drop sanctions against Russia weeks for before Trump's inaguaration. Lanny Davis, Cohen's lawyer said in an interview on MSNBC with Rachel Maddow that Cohen has information on Trump: "Mr. Cohen has knowledge on certain subjects that should be of interest to the special counsel and is more than happy to tell the special counsel the possibility of a conspiracy to collude and corrupt the American democracy system in the 2016 election, which the Trump Tower meeting was all about -- but also knowledge about the computer crime of of hacking and whether or not Mr. Trump knew about that ahead of time." Do your homework. This is all about Russia and Russian money and Trump and his people's connection to it. Follow the money.
45
That's not the purpose of the Special Counsel. Collusion is not a crime. The purpose, as stated in Order No. 3915-2017, is to investigate the assertions made by Comey (then FBI Director) including:
(1) Any links between the Russian Government and individuals associated with the Trump campaign;
(2) any [illegal] matters that arise from the investigation; and
(3) any other matters within scope of 28 CFR 600.4(a).
Mueller is fulfilling the purpose he was assigned as Special Counsel.
48
Fret not. The careful and wise Mueller is soon to make his necessary moves. Recall Nixon/Watergate: two years at least.
11
New York Attorney General talked to Cohen yesterday; they are Investigating Trump Foundation. Investigating Trump; Ivanka; Trump jr. State Charges can be brought; no pardons.Trump crime family bus is losing it's wheels. Republicans still support Trump 100%;no matter what they whimper. Vote out corrupt Republicans. Ray Sipe
26
Thank you, thank you, thank you for providing the list! I am so tired of people saying the investigation has resulted in nothing! Now these idiots can just shut up!
31
Anna - No serious person claims the Mueller investigation has resulted in nothing. The claim is that Mueller has uncovered zero that ties President Trump to Russian collusion - the original purpose of having a Special Counsel.

Stayed tuned

All in good time Fast Harry, all in good time.

Interesting that the only one who has not "flipped" is Manafort. Each of the others (except the Russians... perhaps Manafort fits into this category?) has agreed to cooperate with the prosecutors. Great relationships Trump, exactly as much loyalty for you as you have for them. Vote Democratic, restore some sanity to our government.
