Trump attorney signals a firm stance in dealing with special prosecutor
Los Angeles Times ^ | David Willman

President Trump will not unconditionally cooperate with special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s recently opened investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election and any possible coordination with the Trump campaign, a defense lawyer for Trump signaled on Sunday. The lawyer, Jay Sekulow, also questioned the appropriateness of Mueller’s advance review of the prepared testimony that former FBI Director James B. Comey delivered last week to the Senate Intelligence Committee.

That was no “advance review”, that was direction on the content of the testimony was to give.

And, agreeing with Sekulow, it certainly casts doubt on the impartiality of Mr. Mueller regarding his friend, Comey, who has been running legal interference for the Clintoon Crime Syndicate for many, many years.

Folks, it really looks like the fix is in for this one.

If he knows anything, he should get Mueller to quit. Mueller has serious conflicts of interest. Get rid of that fraud.

Does it not seem that knowing Mueller’s relationship with Comey that any charges he might bring against President Trump could be overturned or defeated because of that relationship???

It could go all the way to the Supreme Court if need be....

I am pleased that I am beginning to sense and see a change. Trump is becoming a little more assertive and the conspiracy cabal is beginning to sputter a bit.

Can’t “Conflict” be argued/proven?

It strikes me like a Tiger in a cage of bunnies. These Ef’ing jackasses are going to be appetizers.

Why will Trump win?

First he send in the Box Jellyfish
Then he sends in the saltwater crocks
Then he sends in the crows to caw at the media.
Then he sends in his pride of lions to clean up, and if they don’t do a great job he sends in the scavengers from buzzards to hyenas. 4D Chess at a Grandmaster level +.

Comey is road kill at this point.

Mueller needs to resign for colluding with Comey.

Nice to see the President loading up with attack dogs to take the fight to the Deep State. Force them to punt then its time to go on offense!

Mueller is tainted and in a conflict of interest. He needs to resign and turn this back over to Justice where it belongs.

If there was advance review of Comey’s testimony, then Mueller should be fired. There is already strong grounds to question his impartiality regarding Comey and now that we know Comey is a lying self-serving crap-weasel, there is a clear basis for doubting that this investigation will do justice.

“Comey, in his appearance before the Senate panel Thursday, said Trump pressured him to end the FBI’s investigation of Michael Flynn shortly after Flynn resigned as the president’s national security advisor.”

Did not Comey testify the exact OPPOSITE of that?

He is going down too. You think that snake Comey did not try and cover his ass? Lots and lots of orange jumpsuits.

I want to know if Mueller knew of Comey’s plan, and gave Comey the go-ahead to release the government-owned memos to the press. What did Mueller know, and when did he know it? What are the dates of any conversations/meetings between Mueller and Comey during the ongoing Russian probe, and since he was appointed Special Counsel? And any conversations/meetings that took place after Comey’s firing. Why did Mueller accept these documents since they were not Comey’s property to hand out? Mueller accepted FBI documents that were illegally obtained, and whose chain of custody cannot be proven.
