I tried not to make rules for this community but y'all wylin'. I'll keep it quick and to the point:

  1. Mildly biased headlines and articles are fine, but please do not share opinion pieces or strongly slanted articles here.

  2. Reporting content that does not break those rules prohibited.

  3. Baiting and drama farming is prohibited. If you're not sure whether or not you're in this category, ask yourself if what you're about to post or comment adds to the discussion of the topic at hand, or if you are trying to get a rise out of someone, make bad-faith accusations against one's character, etc. There's some leeway here because I have a sense of humor though, so don't let this rule scare you.

  4. Endorsing or supporting extrajudicial, nonexecutive or nonwar violence is prohibited.

  5. Using slurs is expressly prohibited.

This. He's just achieved what Mueller achieved. Nothing.

And how does that make him a bag of shit? He did what was in his power to do. He pursued the case for as long as he could. The DOJ decided to no longer pursue the case. So he pushed to have his report released. The lack of results doesn’t fall on him.

And honestly, Mueller gets a lot of flack, but he very clearly laid out the evidence from the investigation. He didn’t have the authority to pursue charges of any kind. That would have required AG Barr and the DOJ to press charges.

So there may be a lot of shit, but people seem to really misunderstand how that system works. Or willfully misrepresent how it functions. Or doesn’t function.

It doesn't make him a bag of shit. It's just an award for achieving nothing. Something that if you saw it, you'd want to do something about it. But you can't.

I guess I’d just prefer to give the award to people who are actually at fault. Like Judge Aileen Cannon. She actively worked to make sure justice didn’t happen, and that there were no consequences for all of the blatant crimes.
