I think this move is probably the best thing to come out of this administration so far. I look forward to the results.

MAJ Bryan Zeski - Sounds a bit arbitrary to me. Why is anything more than "tweaking" necessary?

Maj Rob Drury - I think that, as Jefferson was pointing out, each generation should be beholden to its own laws and debts, not the laws and debts of the previous generations. Now, I think that a regularly scheduled tweaking would be an acceptable compromise to a complete rewrite and update.
There are some things I'd like to see updated / added / clarified:
1. Term limits.
2. Clarification on 2A.
3. Clarification on 4A with respect to electronic and cyber privacy.
4. Clarification on State's rights.
5. Clarification on human equality.
6. Clarification on the goals, focus and values of the nation.

MAJ Bryan Zeski - I certainly hope that that's not what Jefferson was pointing out. If it was, it is in stark contrast to his contemporaries. The same human nature that guarantees that absolute power corrupts absolutely also guarantees that societal standards move toward chaos, anarchy, and values that oppose proven superior ones. This is what the idiots of society refer to as "progressive thought." It is and has always been the downfall of great civilizations.

Maj Rob Drury - "Every constitution, then, and every law, naturally expires at the end of nineteen years. If it be enforced longer, it is an act of force, and not of right. ... Factions get possession of the public councils, bribery corrupts them, personal interests lead them astray from the general interests of their constituents; and other impediments arise, so as to prove to every practical man, that a law of limited duration is much more manageable than one which needs a repeal."

By all accounts former FBI Director Mueller is a good man and he seems to have been given enough leeway to do the job assigned to him. We can expect lots of unexpected twists and turns in this story and not all of them will affect President Trump negatively.

This is the man that will get this done. Former Marine......former prosecutor......former director of the FBI. He's no nonsense, and tough as nails. Whatever result he comes up with, you'll be able to trust it.

SN Greg Wright - Did you trust the result that Hillary Clinton was not at fault in Benghazi? Did you trust the result that Hillary Clinton did not commit a chargeable crime?
I trust Mueller, and yes, if he finds that Trump did nothing criminal I will believe it. Criminal" and monumentally incompetent are not the same thing, nor are criminal and disgustingly immoral. Trump may or may not be a criminal, and may be, and of course I will trust Mueller's findings on that issue. Criminal or not though, he's still an absolute shitbag, a blatant liar, and a total sleaze.

The guy who was never vetted (but was described as untrustworthy) is Dinald Trump.
No security agency would ever give a guy like that a security clearance, but as POTUS it's not up to them.
