Comey and Mueller Have a History as a Deep State Tag Team

In my Sunday column I wrote of the similarity of the Comey - Mueller investigation of purported "Russian collusion" with the Trump campaign to the confected search for who leaked Valerie Plame's name. This was a scheme against Vice President Cheney that ended in the conviction of his aide, Lewis Libby, for a weakly-proven process crime. I had missed that Comey and Mueller may well have honed their deep state purge of political opponents then, something clearly at the bottom of this nonsensical investigation into "Russian collusion" with the Trump campaign.

According to Michael Isikoff, writing in 2006, the FBI (then headed by Mueller) and an unnamed "senior Department of Justice official" were advised in October 2003 that Armitage was the man who leaked Plame's identity -- and yet two months later upon his appointment to be Deputy Attorney General, James Comey appointed his friend Patrick Fitzgerald to investigate the leak. It's hard to believe that he didn't at the time know full well who the leaker had been.

Professor Jacobson at Legal Insurrection indicates Comey's testimony suggests Mueller is already going beyond the narrow mandate of Acting Attorney General Rosenstein, and considering whether the President's discussion with him about General Flynn constitutes "obstruction."

Trump needs to fire Muller. The deep state knows full well that firing the lead prosecutor investigating fake crimes will lead to obstruction of justice allegations. But their is no crime, the president can fire who he wants, even though it could lead to impeachment per the deep’s plan. .But Trump can call their bluff, make the congress and senators show their cards to the public as to their support for him or not. People will be pissed to actually learn which of their representatives are aligned to the deep state uniparty, they wont be able to hide. They are not helping Trump anyhow, and until our representatives are made to show who they represent, us or their corruption Trumps campaign promises are not going to be fulfilled anyhow. Its time to drain the swamp, starting with muller.

Last news I saw, also, was that somehow the DNA evidence the FBI is supposed to have for the half-billion Gardner Museum heist has “disappeared”. But digging in on Whitey led to the exposure of tons of FBI corruption.

1955
That was the year. I graduated high school in west Texas. I was so naive and believed only good of the government, and really of the world. I would so like to have that innocence again!

How did Trump drop the ball and allow his DOJ to choose Mueller for Special Prosecutor. I dont get it. Why wasnt it someone like Giuliani or Christie? How did Trump lose control of this and how did Comey get his top choice from Trump’s DOJ?

Who is running DOJ anyway? Hilary Clinton?

What is going on here?

Republicans across the board need to scream long and loud that Mueller has a conflict of interest here, but won’t because they would rather hurt Trump and they would rather lose again. Yeah they are that stupid.

Trump, his administration and the few real conservatives in the media will have to hammer long and loud about possible collusion between Comey and Mueller.
