Trump’s current battle, with the highest level bureaucrats, is his most dangerous test to date. If he survives this, he will go full term. We will know in a few months.
14 lawyers making $500/hour?
With no limits on how long they can bill taxpayers?
And with no evidence of Russia collusion which affected the election?
I am livid, mad, and I want nothing short of the POTUS immediately firing Mueller & DAJ & Sessions. Before it is too late, and too much money is spent on taxpayer funded oppo research.
Mueller may be doing Trump a favor by overstepping reasonable bounds and going into Trump’s private business.
This whole thing is total BULL$hit and I don’t see why taxpayers should have to pay for it.
The whole thing is a carefully orchestrated distraction to hinder legitimate investigations into Clinton and Democratic corruption of the past few years.
If nothing is done to investigate and prosecute these corruptions, then what will stop HRC from running again and using her lack of prosecution as a valid defense to any criticism of her crimes?
I only hope Sessions and staff is already doing their investigations. The longer they wait the weaker the cases will become.
How much time and resource did the FBI/Comey put into investigating Hillary emails? Might be a benchmark for trump to use in scoping the upper limit of the Mueller fiasco.
I voted for Trump and agree with all his policies. I think he’s done a great job as president, I also think the Russia story is a witch hunt, orchestrated by democrats and RINOs, lead by Ryan, who despise Trmp and want him gone. With that said, Trump is his own worse enemy because he does not know when to keep his mouth shut. For the last two years when things are going good for him he ruins it by talking to much. That’s his personality and I don’t think he can change. The problem is it doesn’t work with politicians because ever word out of their mouths is dissected with a fine tooth comb, and especiallly with Trump because he’s hated by the democrats and the Washington elites in his own party. I wish he didn’t give them so much ammunition but that’s him. He stays frustrated because his agenda has been hijacked for the last 6 minths by the Russia garbage and he has no one on his side in Washington DC, especially Ryan and McConnell.
That alone comes to almost half a million dollars a week. With office space, hired help, and outside services it's easily a million every week ... for a witch hunt seemingly in service to the Demonic rats.
It is a very sad situation but it could blow up in the face of Sessions, Mueller etc. in the end.
Donald Trump is up against evil banking and business forces.
Call them Globalists, Corporatists whatever you want.
They are more powerful than sovereign governments in general and they think they are more powerful than Donald Trump, the President of the United States.
The recusal only makes sense if Sessions was bribed or blackmailed. Don’t know why everyone wants to dance around that. JMO.
I don’t see Sessions as particularly devious. How did he ever survive so long in D.C. by staying under the radar?
I thought that AGs nowadays just do what the president wants. I didn’t know that they make their own decisions.
If Trump was irritated with Sessions, he could have just as easily expressed his irritation in private. Trump is a powerful leader, and for that we can be thankful. However, he is not as much of a moral leader. That is one of his most prominent weaknesses. It is what it is. He’s our man for now, for better or for worse. It doesn’t mean that we need to cheer his every move. Sessions is a good man. Trump may be a good leader, but he isn’t necessarily a good man. Sessions deserved better. But breathe deep and hold on to the horse we rode in on, I guess. Be thankful that Hillary isn’t in charge.
Please Freepers, pray a little harder for our President and his family.
It is absolutely evil the way his Party and enemies are attacking him.
Dear Lord, please protect our President and his family.
Get rid of Mueller, get rid of the Assistant AG, and if Sessions can't be of any use, get rid of him, too. This whole Russian thing is taking attention and money from the real work that needs to be done, i.e. draining the swamp, getting rid of Odungocare, getting rid of illegal criminal invaders, and building that wall nice and HIGH.
"Dreamers" be damned! Why are the so-called Republicans authoring any bills to allow interlopers to stay here?
How do we know that Mueller is expanding his investigation to go into Trump's private business? I only ask this question to illustrate a tendency I have been noticing for some time. Normally, information put out by any mainstream media outlet is, at the very least looked at with suspicion, but when Bloomberg News alleges that someone close to the investigation says they are expanding the inquiry, we seem to take it as gospel. So far, I haven't seen a statement from the Special Counsel detailing any substantive information about the investigation.
It was interesting that in the June 8, 2017 Senate Intelligence Committee hearing Senator James Risch (R) Idaho referenced a NY Times story of February 14, 2017 in which it was reported that electronic surveillance at the Trump Tower showed the Trump campaign was colluding with the Russians. The Senator revealed that after the story ran, Comey had sought out Senators and informed them that the story was false but was not able to inform the general public of that fact. Comey agreed the Senator was correcct and went on to state the following about reports based on unidentified sources: “People talking about it often don’t know what is going on and people who do know are not talking.”
Despite Comey’s credibility on other fronts, he was making an important and very valid point which, at various time other such as AG Sessions deputy AG Rosenstein have also made. Real professionals in both law enforcement and intelligence do not talk in public about their work while people with an axe to grind often engage in disinformation for their own purposes. While a person inexperienced in either the intelligence or justice system might find it hard to accept that those with accurate information would refuse to set the public record straight, there is a valid reason they don’t do so. (Actually, this seems to be one of President Trump’s areas of frustration. I suspect that almost any of us in a similar situation would want someone in a position to know the truth to simply stand up and say, “they are lying”. It will not happen but it is certainly not an unreasonable desire.)
Especially in these times, we need to remain wary of information from unidentified people. Emotions are easily manipulated and, with there being no evidence that any law has been violated by the Trump campaign, the only vulnerability would be if he could be goaded into making a major mistake.
He definitely needs our prayers
Well you’re right...maybe we’re just being fed baloney.
But for sure Mueller has hired too many people to go after a nothing burger and apparently no constraints were put on him at the beginning. This wouldn’t happen in the real world. But on taxpayer’s money a 7k/hr group can go fishing for years.
I’m beyond disgusted! Mueller is seems doesn’t mind trading what’s left of his soul for an hourly rate.
I listened to the hearings that day and they also tried to get Sessions to recuse himself from voting on any of the nominees. He seemed to agree, but later did vote. He’s a good man, but not a strong man, IMHO. Trump needs a pit bull in that position and he’s got a yellow lab instead.
Yellow labs are loyal, I think he got a morky.
