Russia Investigation Heating Up

[Gelston]

The Mueller investigation could go on for another two years and still cost less than the new refrigerators in Air Force One.

With that said, if you have first hand knowledge that there is no Russian collusion please feel free to contact the investigation at your earliest convenience. I'm sure they would love to hear from you.

The refrigerators are probably Samsungs, that is why they are so expensive.

You do realize Faux News isn't just limited to the TV right? They're on the internet as well? And no one accused you of lying about not being a wack job partisan.

So because they are on the internet I automatically watch them? Do I need to point out how amazingly ridiculous this inference is? And you did imply that somehow you felt I was disingenuous in being a partisan.

It isn't one GOP senator though, Mueller has bipartisan support in both the House and the Senate. Mueller is a Republican. The person who appointed him, Rosenstein, is a Republican. These facts don't stop idiots like Rocktar from screaming this is all a vast left wing conspiracy.

Latrin says he is a Republican too. What's your point? At one time, slavery had support and women lacking the right to vote along with the 3/5ths rule. Popular support for something or someone does not make them right.

The point is that your notion that this is a partisan witch hunt isn't ground in reality. It has support from people all across the political spectrum.

No, I didn't. There was never any doubt about you being a political hack. As I've said before you're the conservative equivalent of Ashliana.

President Trump not only sought to have special counsel Robert Mueller fired, he also sought to discredit top FBI officials out of fear that they could be witnesses against him.

Following former FBI Director James Comey’s testimony before the Senate intelligence committee last June, Trump ordered aides to smear three potential FBI witnesses who could confirm that the President tried to end or influence Mueller’s investigation, Foreign Policy reported on Friday.

Cool, so add witness tampering to the list.

They are not refrigerators. They are officially called "cold chiller units". Get it straight .

And yeah, the cost is beyond ridiculous ($24 million).

A regular 747 costs upward of 350 million. Even with the modifications specifically for Air Force One, it's not a lot in comparison.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Sunday said special counsel Robert Mueller should take a look at reports that President Trump tried to fire him last summer.

"I don't know if the story is true or not, but I know this, Mueller should look at it," Graham said on ABC's "This Week."

Graham's comments follow a New York Times report this week saying Trump wanted to fire Mueller last June.
Trump reportedly backed off of the order when White House counsel Don McGahn threatened to quit.

"Don McGahn, if the story is true in the New York Times, did the right thing, and the good news is the president listened," Graham said.

"The investigation needs to go forward without political interference, and I'm sure it will," he continued. “As a matter of fact, I think Mr. Mueller is the perfect guy to get to the bottom of all this, and he will.”

"I see no evidence President Trump wants to fire Mueller now," he continued. "I don't know what happened back last year, but it's pretty clear to me that everybody in the White House knows it would be the end of President Trump's presidency if he fired Mr. Mueller."

A regular 747 costs upward of 350 million. Even with the modifications specifically for Air Force One, it's not a lot in comparison.

The two current Air Force One planes are due for replacement. The planes are highly customized Boeing 747-200B series jets that were purchased under President Ronald Reagan's administration and began service in 1990 under President George H. W. Bush. But because Boeing shut down its 747-200 production several years ago, it has become extremely difficult to replace the planes' parts, according to the trade publication Defense One. That's why, during his second term in office, President Barack Obama ordered a replacement fleet for the Air Force One program that will be built based on the new 747-8 series.

All of the customization and facilities cost a lot. According to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) letter obtained by Judicial Watch, Obama's Air Force One cost taxpayers $206,337 every hour it flew. Building the replacement 747-8 jets will also be expensive — an estimated $3.73 billion over 12 years. But that's still a small portion of the entire defense budget of $8.132 trillion over that same 12-year time frame, according to Politifact. But because those costs are driven by national security concerns, they could go up in time, too.

I was trying to find how long AF-1 could stay in flight and that's top secret crypto shit I guess.

It's capable of mid-air refueling, so, pretty much indefinitely as long as the logistics are available.
