It was always going to be impossible for Mueller to prove Trump colluded, but the campaign finance allegations\u2014that\u2019s where the real action is. In fact, this was probably just what Mueller wanted all along. He did what he could do with his limited investigative mandate and now he\u2019s handing off the probe to state prosecutors who will have a much wider purview to throw the book at Trump. I mean, they\u2019re already working with Michael Cohen, and I bet that\u2019s only the beginning. I just feel so dumb for spending all that time obsessing over the Mueller investigation when I should\u2019ve been spending all my time obsessing over the New York one.\u201d At press time, Whitmore was looking into getting his tattoo of Robert Mueller removed so he could replace it with one of New York federal prosecutor Audrey Strauss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>March 26, 2019 (theonion.com) MORENO VALLEY, CA\u2014Kicking himself for focusing all his energy on the wrong thing, local liberal Brian Whitmore reportedly felt like an idiot Tuesday for placing the entirety of his hopes on Special Counsel Robert Mueller\u2019s probe into President Trump instead of the New York state prosecutors\u2019&#8230; <a class=\"continue-reading-link\" href=\"http:\/\/occupysf.net\/index.php\/2019\/03\/27\/liberal-feels-like-idiot-for-placing-entirety-of-hopes-on-mueller-probe-instead-of-new-york-prosecutors-investigation\/\"> Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr; <\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/occupysf.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11466"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/occupysf.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/occupysf.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/occupysf.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/occupysf.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11466"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/occupysf.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11466\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11467,"href":"http:\/\/occupysf.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11466\/revisions\/11467"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/occupysf.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11466"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/occupysf.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11466"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/occupysf.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11466"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
