    But that fake GOP witch hunt aganist FBI, THO! Love it, do it while 45 is in Europe meeting with Putin

    Mueller probe indicts 12 Russians for hacking Democrats in 2016
    Friday’s announcement marks the latest move by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III in his investigation of Russian interference in the election.

    Mueller and a team of prosecutors have been working since May 2017 to determine whether any of President Trump’s associates conspired with Russia to interfere in the election. His work had already led to charges against 20 people on crimes ranging from money laundering to lying to the FBI. Fourteen of those charged are Russians who are unlikely to ever be put on trial in the United States.

    Mueller’s probe has come under sustained attack from Trump and his supporters in Congress, who call it a witch hunt and a politically motivated attempt to hurt the president.

    I fully believe that most of the people who do this are trying to get someone hurt and/or killed. There are no innocent explanations or excuses. Even if some of these callers are just fools trying to create drama, they are doing so with disregard for the consequences. This stops when the perpetrators are the ones who suffer consequences (like a huge fine).

        I don’t give a f*ck whether he’d been drinking or not because his actions indicate that this probably wasn’t the first time he’d done something like that to a POC. In general, I’m a teetotaler, but in the few instances when I’m at a social event and may drink a bit of alcohol, being a racist *sshole isn’t the first thing to be that enters my mind.
