Yeah, under pressure from the Democrats.
What pressure could the Democrats apply considering the Republicans run everything?

Not really. There is only one significant investigation going on, and it just started. Hard to judge it, before anything is known.
Clinton on the other hand, is generally decades old, is the product of dozens of investigation, all of which have concluded.

If Dems and RINOS shouldn't be investigating Trump
then why the hell were the Republicans investigating Hillary
Talk about witch hunts, all a bunch of nothing
anyway, the Trumpster investigators are Bushies
Mueller was W's Director of the FBI
so what does that tell you?
That there are some pretty stupid people here on ST....
There is more than enough on Trump to impeach him:
Obstruction of Justice
Abuse of Power
Owes Russia Money
emoluments clause
secret conservations with Russia
using Russian dirt on the DNC
is an as#@&%e of biblical proportions
will make right wingers heads explode when he resigns in disgrace, and then jailed

But but but... Russia Russia Russia! Russia! But... but... Russia!
Reminds me of the 70/80's scare tactics of the 'evil Russkies'.
The Orange one appears to becoming fully compliant now with his neocon masters which is unfortunate. Same as the old puppet and the one before that...

well, well....the new US President learns a life lesson that sitting in the bleachers criticizing is so much easier than actually being President
yes, after years of ripping President Obama on Afghanistan, Trump said this yesterday
“My original instinct was to pull out, and, historically, I like following my instincts,” Trump said Monday in a televised address. “But all of my life I heard that decisions are much different when you sit behind the desk in the Oval Office.”

For those of you degenerating to personal attacks and posts without substance... I tried with the title of this thread to have it be a discussion that could generate productive ideas and be a means of finding common ground for people from different political parties and ideologies.
When the conversation degenerates into name calling and memes, then it poisons the space for cultivating common ground and just generates more crap to wade through. "You're dumb" "no you're dumb" "No you're so dumb you think I'm dumb but really you are the dumb one." "F you." "no F you. "No F you." "F you more." "Double F you." ad nauseum.
In the scheme of things this here is nothing, and I'm not even the king of that nothing, and y'all can and will do whatever you want. But just consider for a moment what is your role in shaping the dysfunction of the world around you, and if you want to see positive changes in the world, let it begin with how you interact with the world.

Thanks Craginator :) Maybe when I have less going on in life I will consider local politics.
In the mean time...
If it is not the role of our tax-payer funded government to investigate potential sources of widespread health problems, who is going to do it? Are you ok if nobody does it?
What part of the profit-motivated world is going to conduct these studies? Speculative lawyers looking to start class-action lawsuits and extract money from the corporations that will dissolve and reform if they are somehow found liable?

He finally got that special screening of the Zapruder Film.
If Trump hadn't been born a rich boy he'd be just another third rate real estate shyster, no doubt living out of his car half the time.

Mo bettah faqkz!
On July 27, 29, and 30, 1974, the Committee approved three articles of impeachment against Nixon, for obstruction of justice, abuse of power, and contempt of Congress, and reported those articles to the House of Representatives.
The impeachment process of Bill Clinton was initiated by the House of Representatives on December 19, 1998, against Bill Clinton, the 42nd President of the United States, on two charges, one of perjury and one of obstruction of justice.
...“the Supreme Court has concluded that ‘endeavor’ is broader than ‘attempt’” — and quotes the court stating that in the statute it means “any effort or essay to accomplish the evil purpose that the section was enacted to prevent.” Therefore, says the Justice Department, “it follows that an endeavor to obstruct justice need not be successful to be criminal.”

His casinos were a disaster
Actually, they were quite successful; just not as casinos. According to those in the know, the casinos(and the real estate) were/are
intended as money laundering ops, which they have done fairly well on.
zBrown, I have not heard of that Sources, in the know, report that Muller has Trump Models as one aspect of the investigation. It is ALL tied together, the laundering, the model exploitation and the collusion.
Re: Trump Models. Reports are that the company was falsifying the ages of women coming in from Eastern Europe. Not only were they forced to live in barracks-like conditions in a Lower East Side basement(and have charges for rent deducted from earnings), but they were, indeed, forced into prostitution.
Melania worked in the US as a "model" before her visa was cleared, which is not legal. She was also introduced to Trump by a Russian mafia dude who is also ted to the casino money laundering.
This is all "old news" if you are following @TrueFactsStated, @20Committee and @LousieMensch on Twitter. These folks are not "nobodies." They are all people with vetted, and well known, professional identities.

actually, Mr Trump's record in the Casino business has been one failure after another
Trump Entertainment Resorts and its predecessors have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection four times, in 1991, following construction of the $1-billion Trump Taj Mahal, and in 2004, 2009 and 2014.
*The casino group filed for bankruptcy again in February 2009,[26][27] owing $1.2 billion. Two sets of debt holders eventually proposed reorganization plans for the group in U.S. bankruptcy court.
In September 2014, Trump Entertainment Resorts filed again for bankruptcy,[35][36]
On October 10, 2016 the Trump Taj Mahal closed for the final time. Trump Entertainment will remain operating to deal with the transfer of some points on the Trump One card account.[41] The Trump Taj website is empty.[42]
