A little over a week ago, Trump's attorney Rudy Guiliani said that the basis of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation was illegitimate and he was absolutely correct.
Instead of discussing presidential pardons or subpoenas, President Trump and his legal team would do well to focus on the legitimacy of the entire investigation because it is truly a house of cards built on a foundation of air.
The Mueller investigation began on a series of rumors, innuendoes, an unproven dossier funded by political opposition, apparent Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) abuses, illegally leaked memos by a self-aggrandizing former FBI director, and the firing of said director based on a memo written by the person who then appointed the special counsel and still oversees him.
Only in a town like Washington, well-insulated from common sense and the real world, would any of this seem fine.
The investigation was spun up with the firing of James Comey. President Trump had the legal authority to fire Comey for any reason, whether it was his gross mishandling of the Clinton email investigation or just for being too tall. We know from Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s letter that Comey’s firing was justified beyond the simple fact that every member of the executive branch serves at the pleasure of the head of the executive branch.

Every day that Mueller’s illegitimate investigation continues, and the mainstream media plays its role of mouthpieces for the “deep state,” Russia’s Vladimir Putin wins. He’s winning every day this drags on, and those who continue to push the fairy tale and the witch hunt for purely political reasons — from Congress to the deep state to the mainstream media — are, in effect, helping to destabilize our democracy.
Etc...

Just end it already. On Friday afternoon announce that the investigation is over and on Monday a special counsel investigating the Clinton Foundation, as well as the other scandals surrounding the Obama administration will commence. Align that with the IG report.
Correct. Also, the “collusion” investigation was over when Manafort and Flynn were charged only with the usual process crimes. They were supposedly likely to have been the masterminds, and they were never charged with anything real.
( I always wondered why the truth on Obama wasn’t leaked longL ago...records, etc. )
Leaked and been aterrorist movie by now.
Exactly!!!! I’ve been saying this for the longest time. They’ve been leaking everything else but the most important part of which is evidence of collusion and criminality surrounding those allegations of collusion would have already been leaked to the NYT and the Washington Post. They have nothing but trumped up process crimes and dragging up a possible old real estate fraud case from over 10 years as their main case of justice
Zero leaks from that IG report on Hillary. Pretty fishy...
