Trump calls Mueller probe a political weapon aimed at Republicans
The Washington Times ^ | Saturday, September 15, 2018 | S.A. Miller

President Trump on Saturday said that special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia-collusion probe was ginned up to hurt Republicans in the midterm elections.

“While my (our) poll numbers are good, with the Economy being the best ever, if it weren’t for the Rigged Russian Witch Hunt, they would be 25 points higher! Highly conflicted Bob Mueller & the 17 Angry Democrats are using this Phony issue to hurt us in the Midterms. No Collusion!”

Mr. Trump’s poll numbers slipped in recent weeks despite continued good economic news. His job-approval rating is 40 percent in the Real Clear Politics average of recent polls.

Mr. Trump always contended that Mr. Mueller’s probe is a “witch hunt” organized by Democrats to undermine his presidency.

Mr. Mueller’s investigation gained momentum Friday with former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort striking a plea deal and agreeing to cooperate with the probe.

Trump knows that this Special Counsel is illegal. Not allowed by law without a defined crime. He should remove Mueller and close the SC.

The investigation is taking a new turn.

What if Mueller is the classic case of a Manchurian candidate?

A mole?

And he turns out to be the one who destroys the swamp creatures?

Yeah, that’s why he filled his team with Rat mercenaries with Roseweasel’s blessing.

Sounds like some very wishful thinking to me (and I wish it were true BTW. I am sure that it is not so).

More likely, Mueller has started a fire which will burn out of his control, consuming him and all of his allies.

But the Republics must win the coming mid-term elections - even the RINOS. And then the purges in Government must start. A bunch of high-level Democrats need to end up in prison.

That won’t be happening because the careerist beltway GOP prefer Democrats to Trump.

Not Republicans, Mr. Trump;

just YOU.

Most of those elected Republican swamp creatures are all for getting rid of you as well.

Well, you are certainly right about that. It is what I wish for anyway. And I wish that our side will be the one doing the purges. That is the best pathway we have with the most favorable odds right now.

But we are going to have to "do stuff".

Today's political conflicts will not be solved by compromise and a return to civility in public affairs. One side is going to eliminate its' opponents from public life and destroy them if they won't go voluntarily.

Or possibly, both sides will destroy each other and an unheralded 3rd party faction will replace both of them.

We are living in those "interesting times" of proverbs and legends. It is going to become more so.

Mr. President, release the entire FISA warrant, and many other docs wich show corruption, but moreover, START WHACKING AWAY AT MUELLER’S LONG HISTORY OF FRAUD AND CORRUPTION. Tear the dirty bastard apart!

Trumps correct. Mueller is a weapon. He is the assault weapon of the deep state coup. Not only against President Trump and Republican Party, but the citizenry of this nation. If Mueller were a different of the law he would shut down now. To continue shows his bias. No equal justice for all!

The Mueller investigation is nothing more than a political propaganda weapon to be used to defeat the Republicans in the midterm elections. It is far worse than any Russian interference could have been. That is why Mueller, after a year and an half, with absolutely nothing, will not close it down. He is an ardent democrat!

Well, that’s only because the Mueller probe IS a DEMOCRAT political weapon aimed at Republicans.
