Yup. The attorneys on Special Counsel Mueller's team are some of the best in their respective fields. He's assembled a real life Justice League. The sheer magnitude of this investigation will be a political scandal the size of which we have never seen in America. Ever since I read about the attorneys on Special Counsel Mueller's team I have always believed this. His team is incredible, their methodology and experience is unmatched.[1] They are the equivalent of a Justice League.[2] And they have to be, democracy itself is at risk.[3] Here are the people investigating Russian meddling in the 2016 election[4]. They include an attorney who has over 100 supreme court cases under his belt and is finding loopholes in Presidential pardons, an attorney who took down Enron and previously flipped a Russian who helped President Trump win the election, an attorney who has never lost a Supreme Court case, an attorney who worked under Supreme Court Justice Ginsberg and is fluent in Russian, an attorney who was an assistant special prosecutor on the Watergate investigation, an attorney who has prosecuted counter-espionage cases and gone after hackers, attorneys who have investigated white collar crime and money laundering, I could go on. I will include citations on each individual as there is too much information about each attorney, if I were to include the details I would exceed the character limit on Reddit.

ACORN so effectively helped poor, minority communities with voting access that it was effectively an arm of Democratic electioneering strategy. That is why it true Republican ire in the first place, and Democrats smashed it again the rocks at the first sign of trouble.

If there's even a whiff of that story regarding the NRA being true, and you have to wonder what facts gave probable cause to look into it, it's already worse than ACORN. So it's worth watching how the reaction is totally different.

Well, if Trump and the modern GOP has proved anything is that having values, ethics, and being worried what the other side thinks is pointless. I think the Democrats, outside of colluding with foreign powers and within legal reason, ought to just do what they think they need to do to secure political power.

We literally have a President who “F” ed a prostitute while married to a raunchy model and no one cares enough to do anything about it. I'm sure we can thank internet access to pornography for desensitizing the masses on that one. It's a Brave New World.

So. There you go. This is our new reality. “F” it. Time to change up how we play the game.
