It appears Mueller will be conducting his investigation via leaks to the press
Flopping Aces ^ | 08-03-17 | DrJohn

As you know, Robert Mueller was appointed as special counsel to investigate the alleged meddling by Russia in the 2016 election. Since his appointment he has added a significant number of lawyers to his team- a lot of democrats:

Today, the sixteenth member of his team, Greg Andres, reported for work. Andres, who worked most recently as a criminal defense attorney, previously served in the Obama Justice Department from 2010-12.

In addition, according to The Daily Caller, Andres has donated at least $3,700 to federal Democratic candidates, including $2,700 to New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand

in March of this year. Via TheBlaze:

He also has a connection [to the Democrats] through his wife, Ronnie Abrams, a federal district court judge who sits on the bench in southern New York. She was nominated to the seat by former President Barack Obama and came recommended by Gillibrand.

There seven other Democratic attorneys on the team, and together they donated a total of over $60,700 to Democratic campaigns.

The deck is stacked. It gets worse. In rapid fire succession it is leaked that Mueller will impanel a Washington Grand Jury
Special Counsel Robert Mueller has impaneled a grand jury in Washington to investigate Russia’s interference in the 2016 elections, a sign that his inquiry is growing in intensity and entering a new phase, according to people familiar with the matter. (emphasis mine)

The grand jury, which began its work in recent weeks, signals that Mr. Mueller’s inquiry will likely continue for months. Mr. Mueller is investigating Russia’s efforts to influence the 2016 election and whether President Donald Trump’s campaign or associates colluded with the Kremlin as part of that effort.

and then bam, the topic is leaked:

He knows who he’s working for: the media that made up the stories to get him this job.

If what Sessions says is true, that no one is above the law and those who mishandle government information will be prosecuted, why are Hillary, Huma, Anthony Weiner, Comey, Lynch, Stephanie Powers, Susan Rice, etc. all roaming free??? Talk is cheap. We want to see some action…and not on some lowly pencil pusher in an office in Cincinnati, a la the IRS scandal.

We are seeing in real life a form of “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.”

I was talking of this likelihood before he was elected. The machine will attempt to chew him up and spit him out. His weakness is that he IS outside his element. His strength is that he will not cower until real allegations of real and serious wrongdoing become exposed - if they even exist. i.e. he’s stronger than Mr. Smith and will not need to depend on a democrat hack tearfully coming clean. The dirt will have to be both real and very dirty.

The goal is to taint the impression of the Trump adminstration in voters minds. 2006’s culture of corruptiom that rises to the top ranks of the GOP redux.

Leaking by Mueller or the grand jury could be cause for dismissal.

that is exactly what is going on.. and Trump is helping them. He needs to do a better job, hiring and firing people every other day looks bad.

The good news is that Trump seems to have completely neutered those who think they can slay him via the court of public opinion.

They are going to need something REAL to take him down.

Any chance you might investigate Mueller’s leaks, Jefferson?

Not sure I agree with you. This lynching is beving committed in the public’s face with no pretense of fairness — a declaration that not even half the electorate can resist the movement that Trump is battling. Appears to me that the goal of all parties is to finally break the will of the American people.

Anyone who gets a subpeona should tell the process server, take this message to the attorney so he does not lose any sleep: I plan to take the fifth for any question beyond my name and my job.

Mueller has nothing. He’s just posturing/bluffing....

and hoping that Trump takes the bait.

Mueller needs to submit his team’s spending every week.

Get PRyno to sign off on it.

He already needs to be fired for numerous violations, but no one will do it. It’s astounding. A Republican would never get away with this crap. Why do the dems? You people in South Carolina need to flood Grahams phones with complaints about his little bill.

I’m not saying it will happen that way. I’m saying it’s strongly possible.

And the flip side is that if Trump is taken down for irrelevant tripe, our country’s cold civil war may become hot.

I was posting on a liberal site yesterday that the conservative movement is like me as a boy and the liberals are like my brother as a boy. (I just learned this from my mother last week)

My brother would tease me and just keep at it for quite a while. I’d keep telling him to knock it off, but he’d keep at it - until I hauled off and flattened him.

The bundy ranch standoff could have been a catastrophy if that “first shot” had been fired. A lot of dead federal agents would have resulted, a long with a few of the several thousand free men there. And the government knew it, which is why they backed off.

If Trump is taken down by tripe, this could get very dicey. I’m constrained by the love of Christ. A lot of conservatives are not so reticent to act out, just as our founding fathers were not.

This is going to be a very interesting year, regardless. Heck, it already has been. I expect the left to not let up until they get him, however long it takes, and however far toward outright lunacy they have to go.
