I'll go ahead and post this even though there are many contradictions to it. Not sure that I believe it. This doesn’t jibe at all with the other poll mentioned here that says 62% think the release of Mueller’s report is important!
Poll: half of Americans see Trump victim of witch hunt
"Washington (AFP) - Half of Americans believe President Donald Trump is the victim of a political "witch hunt," nearly two years after the launch of the Russia meddling investigation, a new poll showed Monday".

100% of Americans have no idea what's in the report but 50% think they do.
One contradiction,
Poll Shows Half of Americans Support Impeachment Against Trump
"61 percent believe president broke law with 2016 hush payments to women "

An even larger contradiction.
Or so far it exposed the following:
1) George Papadopoulos, former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser, was arrested in July 2017 and pleaded guilty in October 2017 to making false statements to the FBI. He got a 14-day sentence.
2) Paul Manafort, Trump’s former campaign chair, was indicted on a total of 25 different counts by Mueller’s team, related mainly to his past work for Ukrainian politicians and his finances. He had two trials scheduled, and the first ended in a conviction on eight counts of financial crimes. To avert the second trial, Manafort struck a plea deal with Mueller in September 2018 (though Mueller’s team said in November that he breached that agreement by lying to them).
3) Rick Gates, a former Trump campaign aide, and Manafort’s longtime junior business partner was indicted on similar charges to Manafort. But in February 2018 he agreed to a plea deal with Mueller’s team, pleading guilty to just one false statement charge and one conspiracy charge.
4) Michael Flynn, Trump’s former national security adviser, pleaded guilty in December 2017 to making false statements to the FBI.
5-20) 13 Russian nationals and three Russian companies were indicted on conspiracy charges, with some also being accused of identity theft. The charges related to a Russian propaganda effort designed to interfere with the 2016 campaign. The companies involved are the Internet Research Agency, often described as a “Russian troll farm,” and two other companies that helped finance it. The Russian nationals indicted include 12 of the agency’s employees and its alleged financier, Yevgeny Prigozhin.
21) Richard Pinedo: This California man pleaded guilty to an identity theft charge in connection with the Russian indictments, and has agreed to cooperate with Mueller. He was sentenced to 6 months in prison and 6 months of home detention in October 2018.
22) Alex van der Zwaan: This London lawyer pleaded guilty to making false statements to the FBI about his contacts with Rick Gates and another unnamed person based in Ukraine. He was sentenced to 30 days in jail and has completed his sentence.
23) Konstantin Kilimnik: This longtime business associate of Manafort and Gates, who are currently based in Russia, was charged alongside Manafort with attempting to obstruct justice by tampering with witnesses in Manafort’s pending case last year.
24-35) 12 Russian GRU officers: These officers of Russia’s military intelligence service were charged with crimes related to the hacking and leaking of leading Democrats’ emails in 2016.
36) Michael Cohen: In August 2018, Trump’s former lawyer pleaded guilty to 8 counts — tax and bank charges, related to his finances and taxi business, and campaign finance violations — related to hush money payments to women who alleged affairs with Donald Trump, as part of a separate investigation in New York (that Mueller had handed off). But in November, he made a plea deal with Mueller too, for lying to Congress about efforts to build a Trump Tower in Moscow.
37) Roger Stone: In January 2019, Mueller indicted longtime Trump adviser Roger Stone on 7 counts. He accused Stone of lying to the House Intelligence Committee about his efforts to get in touch with WikiLeaks during the campaign and tampering with a witness who could have debunked his story.
Finally, there is one other person Mueller initially investigated but handed over to others in the Justice Department to charge: Sam Patten. This Republican operative and lobbyist pleaded guilty to not registering as a foreign agent with his work for Ukrainian political bigwigs, and agreed to cooperate with the government.
What I am more concerned with is not whether Trump conspired with Russia before the election I want to know if he has been conspiring with them since his inauguration. All the other stuff: violation of the emolument clause, obstruction of justice, threatening violence, violation of his oath of office, violation of Article I of the Constitution, not to mention the total lack of transparency.......of all these he is guilty. Anyone who thinks otherwise has been living in a bubble, devoid of anything from the outside world.
Instead of railing about it to a dead guy--why doesn't the sitting president talk to us--the living-- and tell us (the living) why all the lies about Russian meetings, all the walk backs, the 3 and 4 differing versions of events? The truth just isn't that hard, you guys? Why all the subterfuge? You act like we just don't have a clue. 8,000 lies or not, we the common sensed middle want answers. We are ready to vote.
Everyone in Trump's orbit is either in prison or will be soon. Also, the evidence is still classified, because it's an on-going investigation. You don't reveal your evidence until it's over. Republican-traitors can claim there's no evidence all they want, but that is not the FACTS.
whatta ya know ..morals..and if ta think a country isn't like a house then try living in your house without any walls..I guess you could always fly a drone and call the cops when someone comes and sits down on your couch and you have to provide them with services ..and you have them fill out paper work to see of they can sit down on your couch..but while they wait for the paper work to be processed ..which could take years ..they sit on your couch and you provide services..sounds like a plan...
When they dont have a logical answer they use "DEFLECTION" .
