As I understood it Salem was actually set up initially as a shelter and supply base for fishing fleets that also worked as a base for the puritans who found Europe and the Uk overly tolerant. So there was always a more secular element to the population.Think the 2 factions lived slightly separated but not everybody there was the puritan of historical stereotype.

AT LAST.
"A former senior official said Mr. Mueller's investigation was looking at money laundering by Trump associates," a source told the Times. "The suspicion is that any cooperation with Russian officials would most likely have been done in exchange for some kind of financial payoff, and that there would have been an effort to hide the payoffs, most likely by routing them through offshore banking centers." A separate investigation into Russia has also reportedly focused on potential use of offshore banking centers to launder money. In April, House Intelligence Committee member Rep. Mike Quigley (D-IL) visited Cyprus, which "has a reputation as a laundromat for the Russians who are trying to avoid sanctions."
I'm tired of "collusion" as shorthand for what may have happened b/w Trump and Russia; it allows Republicans to swat aside suggestions that Putin conspired to put Trump in the White House in exchange for favorable treatment. The real story is how deeply Trump was in debt and how badly he needed laundered Russian dough.

seriously though what would be the next step if he did fire Mueller, in terms of getting someone to run an investigation without being (for lack of a better term) obstructed via getting fired?

I've never quite bought the idea that the transaction was like "Da, Donald, in exchange for favorable deeplomatic treatment. ve vill sow dissension in Democrat ranks by obtaining and releasing internal email chainz showing how much ze Klinton establishment fucked Bernie over. Zis will surely drive an unbridgeable wedge between centrist and left-leaning Democrats, thereby depressing left-populist turnout in key upper-Midvest states, ensuring your glorious viktory."
The number of people whose voting decisions were clearly, demonstrably influenced based on those pysops (and nothing else) seems like it would be negligible.

Putin, speaking in a live call-in show that lasted four hours, likened Comey to NSA contractor Edward Snowden, who has been living in Russia since being granted asylum in 2013.
"It looks weird when the chief of a security agency records his conversation with the commander-in-chief and then hands it over to media via his friend," Putin said. "What's the difference then between the FBI director and Mr. Snowden? In that case, he's more of a rights campaigner defending a certain position than the security agency chief."
On an acerbic note, he added that if Comey "faces some sort of persecution in connection with that, we are ready to offer political asylum in Russia to him as well."
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 15 June 2017 15:51 (six years ago) link
I mean it seems pretty obvious to me that the "secret" is that Trump is broke and in hock to the Russians for a lot more than anyone can fathom. Which is why he's extra tetchy about it.

lol does Putin think Obama personally explained the surveillance program to Snowden, who then jotted down notes and sent them off to his buddy Glenn Greenwald?

Accidentally posted this on the Toronto thread, but:
Kind of tired of media proclamations parroting that he wasn't under investigation before but he is now. It was inevitable that he would be under personal investigation at some point. If his campaign and several associates are under investigation, it will reach the top, unless the prosecutor just decided, "hey, why bother, I'll just stop now, for no good reason, there may be something sketchy about literally everyone surrounding Trump, his campaign, his business but not Trump himself." He's currently under investigation for obstruction, but I would be shocked if it stays at that.
