WTF?! Are you living in your own personal reality? It's absolutely NOT reaching criminal investigation status. How do we know that? Because literally everybody involved -- including the special counsel -- specifically said that it's not a criminal investigation. The news sources have also been very careful not to wrongly claim that it's a criminal investigation, unless you're following some shady altnews that doesn't care about libel.


*sigh* You've proven to me that you're clearly not following the news.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/video/politics/graham-trump-russia-investigation-is-now-a-criminal-investigation/2017/05/18/cda10d5a-3bff-11e7-a59b-26e0451a96fd_video.html

Straight from a senators mouth.


Except the one mouth that matters, the special counsel, has said that it's not. First, you have the guy who appointed the special counsel saying it's not:

“My decision is not a finding that crimes have been committed or that any prosecution is warranted,” Mr. Rosenstein added. “I have made no such determination.”

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/17/us/politics/robert-mueller-special-counsel-russia-investigation.html

Secondly, and more importantly, the person heading the investigation says it's not. Trying to find the clip, but he specifically mentioned that in a speech I caught on NPR on the way home.

As for your source, which you apparently didn't consult, Lindsay Graham said is, "I THINK it's now considered a criminal investigation." Not that I'm surprised that you misunderstood, because you've opened your mouth wide so WaPo can feed you absolute crap. As far as bias goes, I put WaPo right next to MSNBC and Fox News.

So AFTER Flynn was already on Team Trump for a long while and Trump trusted him?


Yeah you're right i guess its too much to expect trump to re-evaluate if it was a good idea to keep someone under investigation for something rather serious in the white house. My bad. Let's all just assume he's just that stupid.Regardless of why he was kept on Trump has demonstrated that he's not cut out for president. He's either too stupid to be president or a traitor.


You mean whether or not it's a good idea to trust a source which openly wants to subvert your administration to promote its agenda.


You realize your article is more dated than mine right? The only thing anyone is demonstrating is your own refusal to accept reality. Graham made that statement after a briefing yesterday and he's basically saying that because its a criminal investigation that congress can no longer hold hearings the way its been doing.

Also he didn't say he thinks. He said it seems to now be a criminal investigation because they're not able to review witnesses like they were before. Not that i'm surprised you misheard because you've closed your mind off to any real possibility that this shit is actually going somewhere.

update: It's to my understanding that Rosenstein isn't the one who decides whether this is a criminal investigation anymore. This is all Mueller's game now.
