Senators suspect Comey lied and plotted to double-cross Trump, seek second special counsel

A plan of action for how a second special counsel can investigate the FBI and Justice Department is spelled out in a point-by-point letter submitted by two Republican senators.

They specifically want to know whether former FBI Director James B. Comey lied to them and had a plan to double-cross President Trump.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles E. Grassley of Iowa and Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina sent a letter last week to Attorney General Jeff Sessions. They and two other Republicans want a special counsel with the powers of the Trump-Russia probe’s Robert Mueller to investigate suspected Justice Department corruption. They attached a second letter to Michael E. Horowitz, the Justice Department’s inspector general, outlining all the avenues that need to be navigated — complete with new and expanded accusations. They want an investigation to look at whether Mr. Comey set up Mr. Trump as president-elect.

This and to remind you, the meeting started out 3 people. Comey, Brennan and Clapper (iirc). After the Briefing Brennan and Clapper left Trump and Comey alone. Speculation is this was bait for Trump to make a mistake (or several) while they were alone.

Diaries are fine, meeting summaries are fine. Good evidence if you know it’s the habit of the personal presenting them.

An FBI director suddenly comes up with memos he wrote to himself regarding one on one meetings with the President cannot stand on its own without this was SOP.

It is far past time to fire Mueller and order a special counsel to investigate him as well. Let me show you why. Mueller was charged with investigating the Russian connection and interference in the US Election of 2016 and any thing related thereto. From this he has only investigated Trump/ Russian collusion , which was nil. 2. Obstruction of justice in the prosecution of Mike Flyenn[sic] and 3. Trumps finances.

No so much "related thereto" but it's the 'arising from' meaning I think Mueller is operating under the 'arising from' which means *any* criminal activity he comes across or suspects can be pursued. Including 3rd parties and crimes well before their appointment.
