The Libertarian Institute is not an institute and it's only as "Libertarian" as any 2 loose cannons can be. Scott Horton and Sheldon Richman list no credentials and there's no mention of where their money comes from. Hmmmm, what a rotten citation.
I think we need a 2 year investigation into your allegations. It's cool when the viewing of the article is free isn't it.
Is it cool when one is gullible enough to accept whatever happens to conform to what one already believes or wants to believe? In the story from the Libertarian outlet you posted, it mentions Doug Feith, one of the monumentally stupid neocons involved with the initial invasion of Iraq. I think it was General Sanchez who described Doug as "the dumbest motherfucker on the planet" during one of his visits to the Green Zone in 2004. Is it cool to be misinformed? Or is it just unfortunate? Or is it dangerous? All I know is out where the rubber meets the road, it's not a good thing to not be aware of what's happening and why. By the way, accuracy and facts are just as free as bullshit is. Check it out.
Your saying that he fabricated the Mueller report inserts? Does this mean that the Dems can do the same? Good point, Neo.
Who is he? What inserts? What are you referring to? What point am I supposed to have made?

I don't "support" any of them in the sense of sending them money. I've always registered as Independent; that way I don't get bullshit and propaganda from either of them. Hint; I addressed your query but you did not afford me the same courtesy. Is that some sort of religious thing?

Trump says Senate subpoena of Donald Jr. left him 'very surprised'

President Trump on Thursday said he was “very surprised” — and appeared displeased — that the Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee issued a subpoena for Donald Trump Jr., the president’s eldest son, to answer more questions about his contacts with Russia.

“I was very surprised,” the president told reporters during an event that was supposed to focus on medical billing reform at the White House.

People close to Trump Jr. say he is resisting the subpoena and may invoke his Fifth Amendment right to refuse to answer questions, according to the New York Times.

The president questioned why the committee’s co-chairman, Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., would pursue the matter after special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on Russian interference in the 2016 election concluded that there was not enough evidence to charge Trump or members of his campaign with conspiracy.

“I saw Richard Burr saying there was no collusion two or three weeks ago,” Trump said.

Donald Trump Jr. was a key witness in the Senate Intelligence Committee’s probe of Russia’s interference. The panel is reportedly seeking to question Trump Jr. about congressional testimony he gave in September 2017 about a plan to build a Trump Tower in Moscow — testimony that was later contradicted by former Trump attorney Michael Cohen.

Trump Jr. told the committee that he “was peripherally aware” of the Trump Tower Moscow project. But in public testimony to the House Oversight Committee, Cohen said he briefed Trump family members, including Don Jr. and Ivanka Trump, “approximately 10 times” about it....
“People close to Trump Jr. say he is resisting the subpoena and may invoke his Fifth Amendment right to refuse to answer questions”

"If you're innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment. The mob takes the Fifth.”

Firestorm erupts around Sen. Richard Burr, man behind Donald Trump Jr. subpoena. He's not backing down

Crap, am I going to have to start liking Burr (R-NC) a little? Don't worry, I won't go overboard. This is a case study in why Repugs are terrified of not kissing Dolt .45's ass.

As an NC resident it's stunning to learn that there are any Republicans left that still believe in local control. Of course, that's not true for the nearly unanimous (I assume) Repugs that sent DeSantis the bill.

Found, accurate as far as I know from recent reporting, but I have not verified the specific citations:
10 areas where Mueller believes obstruction of justice took place

Volume II, Pages 15 - 156

1. The Campaign's Response to Reports About Russian Support for Trump (Pages 15 - 23)

2. The Presidents Conduct Concerning the Investigation of Michael Flynn (Pages 24 - 48)

3. The President's Reaction to Public Confirmation of the FBI's Russia Investigation (Pages 48 - 61)

4. Events Up to and Surrounding the Termination of FBI Director Comey (Pages 61 - 77)

5. The President Efforts to Remove the Special Counsel (Page 77 - 90)

6. The President's Efforts to Curtail the Special Counsel Investigation (Pages 90 - 98)

7. The President's Efforts to Prevent Disclosure of Emails About the June 9, 2016, Meeting Between Russians and Senior Campaign Officials (Pages 98 - 107)

8. The President's Further Efforts to Have the Attorney General Take Over the Investigation (Pages 107 - 120)

9. The President's Conduct Towards Manafor, Flynn, [READACTED] (Pages 120 - 133)

10. The President's Conduct Involving Michael Cohen (Page 134 - 156)

I wonder if the willingness to suck donald frederickovich's ass is showing signs of a lower limit. I am, by no means, suggesting it is, nor am I looking for such a unicorn, but, maybe, we could see that one or two rethuglikkklans still have the vestiges of shame.
And monkeys might fly out of our butts, too.

The Mueller Report, Volume II For Dumbest Dummies

1. Mueller found evidence Chump obstructed justice (p. 157 & 182).

2. Mueller listed that evidence in 10 areas (p. 15 -156)

3. Mueller said he would not indict Chump because of DOJ policy that prohibits criminal indictment and prosecution of a president (p. 1 & 15).

4. Mueller said he would not accuse Chump of committing federal crimes because that would place a burden on his capacity to govern and preempt constitutional processes for addressing presidential misconduct (p. 1).

5. Mueller said Congress may apply obstruction laws to the president's corrupt exercise of the powers of his office in accordance with the constitutional system of checks and balances and the principle that no person is above the law (p. 8).

Page 182 (linear page 394), paragraph 1 (CONCLUSION)
https://apps.npr.org/documents/document ... llerreport

"If we had confidence after a thorough investigation of the facts that the President clearly did not commit obstruction of justice, we would so state. Based on the facts and the applicable legal standards, we are unable to reach that judgment."

Mueller: 'If we had had confidence that the president had clearly not committed a crime, we would have said so'

... In his statement, Mueller said his office could not bring criminal charges against the president because the team believed it to be unconstitutional....
“If we had had confidence that the president had clearly not committed a crime, we would have said so. Charging the president with a crime is not an option we could consider. It would be unfair to potentially accuse somebody of a crime when there can be no court resolution of the actual charge.”
— Mueller resignation statement, 5/29/19

In brief, POSPOTUS and Barr have been lying all along about what’s in the report, and always gullible Trumpettes have swallowed it whole.

That's the money that Iran used to pay for weapons we never delivered to them; it was their money we'd kept since about 79. Not sure if we paid them any interest on it. If you didn't believe everything you want to believe or weren't so gullible, you'd know the answer to your questions. Hope this helps. But to be specific for you......nobody voted, he picked up the phone and said 'get their money ready to send to them" (I assume; it would be the easiest way to arrange something like this) and refer to the first line above for the last answer.
