WASHINGTON — The president’s lead lawyer for the special counsel investigation, John Dowd, resigned on Thursday, according to two people briefed on the matter, days after the president called for an end to the inquiry.
Matters are getting interesting..

President Trump said Thursday he still wants to testify before special counsel Robert Mueller in his ongoing probe into Russia's interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

"Yes. I would like to," Trump said when asked about a potential Mueller sit-down during an event on trade.
Could these two things be connected?

I find it it interesting that Democrats who to date have been very vocal on my Twitter timeline previously are now suddenly silent since the release of this.

Well done for posing it Mick.

This was released by the Republican members - all Democrats on the committee voted against releasing it.

The summary says that "none of the interviewed witnesses provided evidence of collusion, coordination or conspiracy between the Trump campaign and the Russian government." Not surprising, since they didn't interview Flynn or Papadopoulos, who gave pled guilty, or Manafort, or subpoena Bannon or Hicks to make them answer, rather than stonewalling.

If you don’t ask questions because you don’t want to hear the answers, it’s not surprising you don’t find anything amiss...

Absolute rubbish Hugh and you know it. Manafort, Flynn indicted on charges not related to any collusion whatsoever and you don’t know what questions they asked Hicks or Bannon, because their testimony’s were behind closed sessions, what was said outside them, was likely to be leaked by the the Dems and usually what they leak is totally inaccurate.

I don’t really care what the ‘cheating’ Democrats want. We know why they did not want it releasing, because it describes the DNC and Crooked Hillary up to no good and them being the ones who this report shows are the actual ones who colluded with Russia by paying Steele, who in turn got his intel from Russians for dirt on Trump, that’s them right there, doing the collusion!

Spot on Hugh. Your analysis cuts through this nonsense like a wire-cutter through um, wire. "Don't ask, you don't get." sums it up. Let's wait for the results of the investigation.

These ARE the results of the investigation. If they did not find anything, what makes you think Mueller will?

But not spot on at all. It does no such thing.

I will say to you what I said to Hugh, nobody knows what questions Hicks or Bannon were asked, their testimony’s were in classified settings. What was leaked came more likely came from the pathetic Dems, but what they leaked, was misleading as usually always is.

Let's wait until Mueller's investigation is concluded and he's spoken to all relevant people before deciding one way or the other. He's likely to be more neutral than papers just from one party.

*I have no desire to wait 26 years, thanks.

That’s a laugh, his team comprising of Democrats, highly partisan, he appointed disgraced FBI Agent Peter Strzok on to his team also until his heavy bias was discovered by the Inspector General.

Not sure where you get 26 years from. Be patient, it took two years for the Watergate Investigation and that was pre-digital.

Mueller is a registered Republican, appointed by a Republican Attorney General, and when he led the FBI he was appointed by a Republican President.

Also, people are saying because some of his team donated to the Democrats, they must be biased (ignoring the fact that one of them also donated to Republicans as well) - Trump donated to the Democrats...

Trump and his followers' slurs on Mueller to try and dislodge him from power are counter-productive and have a whiff of desperation about them.

Meanwhile, I see that Trump has appointed an architect of the Iraq War, John Bolton as his new national security adviser. I guess as someone who lied about Iraq's WMD, he shares Trump's passion for fake news! ;)

And this is why Presidents should never try to take credit for Stock Market rises...

Dow goes from 18,589 on November 9, 2016, to 25,075 today, for a new all-time Record. Jumped 1000 points in last 5 weeks, Record fastest 1000 point move in history. This is all about the Make America Great Again agenda! Jobs, Jobs, Jobs. Six trillion dollars in value created!
12:35 PM - Jan 5, 2018
Friday, down 2176 points in a month - if you take credit for the rises, you have to take the blame for the falls...

Keep calm Hugh, is only a temporary scratch.

Dow Rallies again in a 670 point gain today, one of the largest gains in a single day since 2008. On News that U.S may avert a trade war with China.

I’m calm - just pointing out if someone take the credit for rises, they have to take the blame for losses (I think it should be neither, as it’s not that simple, and there are so many other factors to be taken into account). It was the biggest one week drop in two years.

The good news is that it looks as if it’s recovering, which is what everyone wants.
