Deputy AG On Mueller Special Counsel: ‘We Don’t Engage In Fishing Expeditions’

Then exactly what violation of the law are you investigating since you don't have a specific person you can name as a subject? Hmmm?

‘If what Rosenstein is saying is true’

What has Rosenstein done to give us the slightest reason to trust one word out of his mouth? If I were never-Trump, I’d trust what Rosenstein has *done,* but even then I doubt I’d trust his words.

Once you have opened that can of worms, might as well go fishing.

No need of letting the worms go to waste. < /sarcasm >

They’re not investigating any specific person.

They’re not investigating any stated violation of law.

The scope of the investigation is ‘Russia.’

I thought investigating Russia was the province of the CIA. Since Mueller has got it handled it’s time to dismantle that redundant agency and use those billions of dollars on something useful.

Somebody in the background colluded with the media to create and promote the Russia/Trump collusion meme. Right thinking people think everybody worked themselves into a frenzy to the point Mueller was appointed Bullshit, stop right there. The Mueller appointment was in the works long, long before and was and is a witch hunt with the express purpose to destroy Trump.

Mueller wanted to get ahead of this rumor before he goes back to fishing.

I wonder if there’s a picture of him in fishing gear.

Actually, they are engaged in one right now. Words cannot express the loathing and revulsjon I feel toward the abject shameless whores now running thr FBI; the organization I and the whole planet once revered, but now commonly regard to be lower than proverbial whale feces.

The Justice Department does not even investigate Clinton and her Croney’s scandals. It is a fishing expedition regarding Trump and his
associates.

>If what Rosenstein is saying is true, then hopefully Mueller will be required to keep his investigation on the subject on the imaginary ‘Russian collusion’ hoax.

Rosenstein is lying sack of donkey excrement.

Here’s a clue as to how they plan to comport themselves: The entire cabal have taken out astronomical liability insurance on themselves. So if/when they overstep legality, and get sued for libel, etc., it costs them nothing. So after beginning this vendetta bereft of any normal decency or inhibitions; they have insulated themselves from needed regard for the law, as well. Any guesses as to how they’ll behave?

CNN and MSNBC need to be notified of this as they are giddy over these indictments and ass holes like “SwallowWell” and the other smarmy slime ball “Adam Shifty” along with documented Vietnam liar “Bloomingidiothal” sound like Mueller has cart blanc to go where ever he wants to go.

Does anyone actually believe this??? Is this not just a ploy to try to calm us down as they proceed with the coup?

we don't engage in fishing expeditions

Ok, specifically what crime were you asked to investigate?

ROSENSTEIN: Well, Chris, if he finds evidence of a crime that’s within the scope of what Director Mueller and I have agreed is the appropriate scope of the investigation, then he can. If it’s something that’s outside that scope, he needs to come to the acting attorney general, at this time, me, for a permission to expand his investigation.

So according to Rosenstein, if Mueller expands the scope of his investigation, before he asks permission and if he finds something outside the scope of the investigation, before he asks permission, he can then ask permission to expand the scope.

Folks, the fix is in, and Rosenstein will allow it.

No, you just lease out your charter boat to those whose bidding you do. IOW, that’s a stinky, stinky, steaming pile of horse crap.

Rosenstein in complicit in his support of this investigation.
The terms he has used to define what’s going on could be interpreted to mean whatever they want it to mean.
Thanks for nothing, Jeff Sessions!
