Did Robert Mueller give James Comey Immunity?

There's some saying about what a bear does in the woods. I think it fits here.

I think Sessions should withdraw his recusal. The Russia thing is a hoax, and he should never have done it in the first place. Then Sessions fires Mueller. Trump has spent the first six months of his term fighting leakers and political bitches on both sides. It’s time to end it.

this man is a close friend of Comey and will not recuse himself because he is a Dem and Dems have no ethics.

Trump should fire his a** and everyone he hired, and any other Obama or Clinton appointees within five miles.

If what you sat is true, re: no illegal activities, in which I believe you are totally correct, then great, let the SP return that report.

If the president fires the SP, then the assumption among 80% of the voters will be that he did it because of what the SP would find.

Nixon’s fate was sealed long before the House voted the Articles of Impeachment. It took a while to actualize, but it was all over the night of the Saturday Night Massacre.

If Trump fires the SP, he will have an ungovernable country, which he is pretty close to having now.

As a young DC lawyer, I watched Watergate from the inside. It was not pretty. It would be much worse this time.

If you’re going to make a statement that doesn’t make any sense to the rest of us, can you explain it more? :)

He’s laughing that dems/msm/RINOs/Mueller and his prosecutors will likely find SOME way to impeach him and RINOs will deliver the necessary votes?

Why is he laughing at that?

Or is he laughing at the absurdity of not firing all these people and not HIRING others to begin with.

“I think Rosenstein more or less panicked when he found himself in the middle of the dispute of whether his memo to Trump”

I don’t believe that. Unfortunately, this country doesn’t have the luxury of time for this kind of keystone cop, ‘step on your own d!ck’ kind of activity at the DOJ.

Trump can fire anyone any day of the week. 24/7

Trump will continue to root out incompetence, corruption and DOUBLE AGENTS. I.E. The Deepest of the Deep State, the Deep State Inner Circle, i.e.: The Clinton's, Previously undercover Comey and Mueller. Trump caused Comey and Mueller's deep state cover to be outed.

Next headline will be why Mueller had to go. Investigation was started on false doctrine, Objective was to get Trump with Obstruction of Justice. Comey tried to trap Trump with a FAKE investigation. Mueller is not needed on a FAKE Dem orchestrated investigation just launched a few months into Trump's Presidency. It's ludicrous.

Additionally, Mueller has a Major, MAJOR conflict of interest. Mueller needs to recuse or better yet, Sessions needs to unrecuse because the so called Russian investigation was based on a FAKE premise.

And then Sessions needs to tell Mueller to turn in his government issued laptop as it's been disabled.

And then Trump needs to host Putin at the Whitehouse and they need to both agree to fight terrorism and I S I S.

Trump def. needs to invite Putin to Washington. Bush had Putin at his Texas Ranch. Trump can invite Putin and find commonality on the fight against terrorism.

At a minimam, Russia should be our ally as we have moe in common that not.

Mueller needs to go. Comey and Mueller are POLITICAL HACKS. Period.

Comey and Mueller could NEVER win an election like President Trump. President Trump represents us, We the People. They are political hacks. Mueller makes Millions of Dollars, yet he comes out of so called retirement, gets a FREE government issued lap top to go after Trump. He gets compensated for all kinds of expenses on our dime. Mueller should not have unmitigated access to all government classified documents in an effort to go after Trump. He needs to RECUSE in the next 24 hours.

Very Well Said. And very much the truth.

I think Sessions should withdraw his recusal. The Russia thing is a hoax, and he should never have done it in the first place.

Sessions fires Mueller. Trump has spent the first six months of his term fighting leakers and political bitches on both sides. It’s time to end it.

As I understand it, Rosenstein has a reputation of being some even player guy on Capital Hill.

And Comey had that same reputation and it was mentioned often up until his controversial moves re: Hillary during the campaign. Mueller has that reputation. I think these bipartisan reputations inside the Beltway have a big quotient of you slap my back and I'll slap yours, a lot of disingenuous, mutual butt kissing.

But it does look like the Rosenstein hire was a very bad move as there was no great urgency to consider a special counsel when Rosenstein suddenly announced he'd hire Mueller.

Who cares if Chris Ruddy said it.

More important, Trump supporters are saying it. We are done with the witch hunt.

Tried to go through the motions knowing Trump didn't do anything wrong.

But the LEFT over played their hand, they were too coordinated with their operative politicians and their operative media players. THEN, COMEY attempted to take out Trump and met privately with his Bestie Mueller i.e. Specialist Lawyer before his testimony. Come on. The American public isn't stupid. We see that Comey and Mueller are colluding to take down a sitting President while also colluding with the New York Times and Washington Post for the past several months.

We are done. Mueller has to go with is FAKE investigation.....err Matter. The new word for investigation is matter per Comey, July 2016.

“That HEU was a small (10 gram) sample taken from some country’s enrichment program. The US shared a fraction of that sample with Russia for their own forensic analysis. Mueller gets a pass on this one. Nothing political about it, other than anti-proliferation policing.”

when did the true facts ever stop the demoncrats from trying to link Trump to the supposed russian “hacking” of the 2016 election?

None. A neutral party will prove that. Firing Mueller without replacing him would be a public relations nightmare. Get a different SC and free them to go after Lynch and Comey first, Hillary second.

“The Attorney General may remove a Special Counsel for misconduct, dereliction of duty, incapacity, conflict of interest, or for other good cause,”

My point is that the article placed before the public referenced that Trump himself should remove the investigator and that can’t be done and is a misleading statement to slur Trump, i.e. a lie.

As for the removal of Mueller, there are currently a dozen different investigations being accomplished by congress, the CIA, the FBI, and Homeland Security on a topic that was started by Obama in 2015 when he started spying on him and they haven’t found a damn thing in two years. And they’ve been all over it like stink on $hit.

And writing articles like Trump doing something he can’t do by law to try to keep this crap in the news, is just another example of the lies that they go to rather than treat the people correct by making a conscious effort to provide the news truthfully and not in their or their benefactors best interest. Fake news? Just plain lies!!!!!

Rosenstein should be fired for picking Mueller.
