Description

There is no evidence that Robert Mueller's investigation is illegitimate so it should continue.

Fun fact: this is DART's 420th debate.

Blaze it

@dustryder

Any interpretation of those documents that extends beyond investigating the Russian collusion should be rejected for the sake of your best interest and mine. =)

A point I would have been happy to discuss with PRO had he participated in this debate. A shame.

@Logical-Master

The document you've linked states that the objectives of the special council are to investigate any links or coordination efforts between the Russian government and people associated with the Trump campaign. And additionally, to investigate any matters that arise from what is discovered during the investigation.

This is far broader than just examining whether Trump conspired with Russia to interfere in the 2016 elections

Trump is in hot waters and it will stay that way for a while...his investigation is his job.

Ok cool!

@David

I'm fine with either proposal!

-->
@Logical-Master

Sounds good. I would propose the following resolution "Resolved: That we should support the Muller investigation" or "Resolved: The Muller investigation should be continued."

@David

Maybe next week! Two pending debates on my docket is enough for me for now!

@Logical-Master

I'd be happy to take the pro side in a debate with you

@Cowscreen

If you put a reasonable definition of witch hunt up, I will accept this.

This debate should probably have a link to a news story in the description. Also a definition of witch hunt.

No. I was a little curious. I don't know too much on this issue.

Are you trolling?
