    The Mueller team is the yin to trumps yang. As trump plays politics with daily tweets, literally hundreds of tweets that could be classified as intimidation, gaslighting, attacks on judiciary, and ugly directionless outright lies trying to sway public opinion. In contrast Mueller always, almost without exception, stays silent. "Mueller’s only public statement as special counsel came on May 17, 2017, the day he was appointed: “I accept this responsibility and will discharge it to the best of my ability.”

    While trump team leaks, Mueller team has been remarkably, even historically tight lipped and invisible considering size and scope of this case, letting indictments speak for themselves. https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifes...=.332c213fd353

    As clownlike, immoral, and embarrassing trump team has been in handling this, Mueller team has been unerringly professional, effective, and efficient.

      You forget, in J’s Bizarro World, Mueller is the leaker and Trump is tight-lipped. It’s hard to understand sometimes.

              Trump's not tight-lipped. Just the opposite.

              Are you actually taking the position that Mueller's team did not leak, for example, George Papadopoulos' name? For anopther, why was there a news crew ready to record the pre-dawn raid of Stone's home. Everything the investigation ever turned up on Papadopoulos, Flynn, Manafort, etc. was tipped to the media ahead of time, When I used a sieve as an example. I was being conservative. There have been many more leaks than holes in a sieve.

                The silence about the SOTU is deafening.

                Poll numbers are off the chart favorable. Pelosi did Trump a big favor by making a spectacle of this speech.

                    I think what he really meant was that most people watching had the sound off.
                    It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

                            you guys made me curious re polling, so per thehill.com

                            "Roughly three-quarters of respondents who watched President Trump’s State of the Union address approved of his speech, according to CNN and CBS News polls released late Tuesday.

                            Seventy-six percent approved of the speech in the CBS poll, with 24 percent saying they disapproved. About 59 percent of respondents to the CNN poll had a very positive reaction to the speech, while 17 percent said they had a somewhat positive reaction. Roughly one-quarter — 23 percent — had a negative reaction in that survey.

                            However, a significantly higher proportion of Tuesday’s viewers were Republicans, compared to the population at large, reflecting a trend that more State of the Union viewers tend to be members of the president’s party.....

                            Approval of the speech was starkly divided along partisan lines. Almost all of Republicans who tuned in — 97 percent — approved of the president’s speech, according to CBS News, while only 30 percent of Democrats said the same. About 82 percent of independents in that survey who watched the speech liked what they heard."

                              This is the key number folks - all of the partisan polling is bullshit. This certainly would indicate that Trump is pushing the right buttons for many folks.
                              It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years and we must stop it.

                                Riiight. The number of actual independents is 6-7%. Most "independents" clearly favor one of the two major parties. But keep inflating your 'independent' egos.
