Again, forgetting Russian collusion for a moment, there is a much better documented history of the Trump organization pimping out it's name to international criminals for the purposes of money laundering. I don't know why this isn't the bigger story. Or the overt fraud Donald and his father practiced for 30 years right here in the U.S. Don't need a Steele dossier or urinating prostitutes for that: it's straight up go to jail stuff. https://www.newyorker.com/news/swamp-chronicles/is-fraud-part-of-the-trump-organizations-business-model

It's hard to say. We don't know if the coaches assumed to be "available" seriously considered the Nebraska job, or if backchannel communications had weeded out a lot of names that the fans were throwing around. You don't want to go too public and get turned down, like Nebraska did lobbying hard for Houston Nutt in 2004. Callahan was a face-saving pick, but we didn't exactly miss the boat by whiffing on Houston Nutt. Supposedly Eichorst approached Brett Beilema, maybe a couple others, before going after Mike Riley. It's likely lot of guys we wanted in 2014 weren't giving Nebraska serious consideration. Bo Pelini felt right in 2007. I don't remember that much fretting that he wasn't a college HC. He'd just led the LSU defense to the national championship. Don't remember much controversy over his choice at all, or any other coach seriously in the running. Even Turner Gill fans -- myself included -- thought Bo was the safer pick. I no longer remember a preferred back up choice to Scott Frost. It was all or nothing around here.

I would actually love to see those dossiers side by side.

Did you actually say "ahem" before saying absolutely nothing new or interesting?

But if you want to jump to the money shot, screen grabs can be helpful....

Proof? That link? Hannity? It makes it's own hysterical conspiracy claims, with links to Jessie Smollett and the ancient Duke Lacrosse case, and offers no specific refuting of the claims against Trump, which as we know aren't absolved by the Mueller Report much as Hannity wants to believe. You may have missed the memo, but Sean Hannity is perhaps Donald Trump's closest advisor, who has overtly politicked for him on campaign stages and on his fact-free Fox Show every single night. I've watched Hannity for years, remember him assembling a review of Obama's First 100 Days to soundtrack and graphics from The Omen. Sean's the worst.

The ebb and flow of this is really bizarre. Just as people are shouting "exoneration!" from the rooftops and demanding retribution against the witch hunters, you read a little closer and realize that the Mueller Report is incredibly damning to the President. And Barr. And anyone inclined to believe Trump about anything

The "fake news" said there appears to be a lot of troubling connections between Donald Trump, his campaign, and various networks of Russians, including people proven to be paid by the Kremlin to influence the American election on behalf of Trump. Not one iota of that is untrue. That members of the Trump inner circle lied to cover up their supposed innocence is also unquestioned, and some of the already indicted and convicted are going to real world jail. Anyone who who guaranteed Trump was a Russian agent was not a journalist, just someone operating on the Alex Jones level.

You're smart, Moiraine. Maybe the smartest person on HuskerBoard.

The pandering for Rep points is ridiculous. I didn't get one my first two years on the board, and do you see me complaining? By the way, say hi to your Mom. She's a special lady. Also, have you lost weight?

It's really not surprising if the Report didn't turn up enough irrefutable evidence to recommend prosecution for Collusion and Obstruction. That's a high bar in murky waters. But how do you call 34 indictments, 7 convictions, and 100% confirmation that Russia intervened in the U.S. election to benefit Donald Trump "nothing?" I actually wish Russia would go away so we could concentrate on the hundreds of other disturbing and more direct examples of how both Trump and the GOP are staging a coup against America's supposedly beloved system of checks and balances and basic human decency.

The most petty and vindictive President in history had the Executive Branch, the Legislative Branch and the Supreme Court lined up to investigate whoever he wanted, having already promised to prosecute Hillary Clinton, accused Barack Obama of illegally spying on him, and claiming vast voter fraud against him in the 2016 election. He's had every chance to muscle up on his bullying threats but hasn't — a pretty good sign that even Donald Trump knows he's got jack s#!t. The saddest part is that rightwing folks like yourself keep parroting accusations far flimsier than Russia as if it's the great equalizer.

How did you know that I revere Jimi Hendrix above all? Now that's how you say thank you.

I'm not going to pretend I have any idea what the Mueller Report will confirm or deny. I'm just certain that this is never going to end.

I wouldn't say you're a liar. I'd just say you throw out a lot of tired horses#!t that you can't back up.
