Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton on Hannity: Mueller Should have Investigated the Dossier

FOX News ^

[OfficialJudicialWatch]

suspect Sara is right, and that is that Mueller is going to stick to his script, which the script is the Mueller report. Gives low, long, meandering lessons -- answers to run out the clock, but the fertile ground is what the Republicans can ask him. When did you know there was no conspiracy? Why did you only pick Democratic donors? Why did you put that guy that was at -- with the worst, the most atrocious history of withholding exculpatory evidence, losing 9-0 in the Supreme Court, putting innocent people in jail -- why did you let him hire your entire staff, which we just learned today, because there is there's a group called the Judicial Watch, that actually got Andrew Weissmann's emails, if I'm correct -- Tom Fitton?

TOM FITTON, PRESIDENT, JUDICIAL WATCH: Yes, he was doing the hiring of these anti-Trumpers for Mr. Mueller. We also have the document showing that Steele was not only on a Clinton payroll, DNC payroll, but during the campaign --

[Paladin2]

Weasel Mueller should be investigated for fraud in continuing to draw his pay while knowing that there was no collusion.

He’s a financial grifter and con man.

[EagleUSA]

Investigating the dossier would have undermined the traitorous coup. Mueller might have been out of a job —

Re: Top Putin advisor Vladislav Surkov

May 31, 2019

Rep. Devin Nunes (R-California) on Robert Mueller’s May 29, 2019 (final?) press conference:

Nunes: "He [Mueller] was so blatantly dishonest yesterday that he says, well, the Office of Legal Counsel says that you can’t indict a sitting president.

Well, he should have been gone after day two.

He has no Russians, except for the Fusion and Clinton Russians, and possibly the dirty cop, the FBI’s Russians, those are the only Russians that he has, to show connections to the Trump campaign.

Clearly, the Clinton operation is heavily working with Russians or Russian disinformation.

He didn’t take time to look into any of that[!]”

Devin Nunes 'likely' sending obstruction criminal referral over Steele-State Department meeting

by Daniel Chaitin | May 19, 2019

Newly released notes from an Oct. 11, 2016, meeting between Steele and former [Hillary-Obama] Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec cast doubt on the reliability of his dossier and called into question the information provided to the court in the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act application that was submitted later that month against onetime Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.

The notes, which Kavalec is believed to have emailed to the FBI in mid-October, indicate that Steele knew he had been hired by Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Democratic National Committee and had been told they wanted his findings made public prior to the 2016 election on Nov. 8.

The Daily Caller reported the notes show Steele identified Russian sources, including former Russian foreign intelligence director Vyacheslav Trubnikov and Vladislav Surkov, an aide to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Nunes said Clinton's campaign and the DNC "plainly colluded" with the Russians to receive and disseminate false information about Trump.

From conservative (patriot) commentator Dan Bongino, May 17, 2019...

"Thanks to recently released notes from an interview the State Department’s Kathleen Kavalec had with dossier author Christopher Steele, a possible bombshell connection between Halper and the dossier has been uncovered.

As discussed earlier in the week on the podcast, those notes also demonstrate Steele failing to keep his story straight between the State Department and FBI, proving how unreliable he is.

In Kavalec’s handwritten notes from their interview she makes note of two of Steele’s dossier sources; “Trubnikov” and “Surkov.”

Surkov is Vladislav Surkov, an aide of Vladimir Putin who is on the U.S.’s list of sanctioned individuals, and Trubnikov is Vyacheslav Trubnikov, who is currently the First Deputy of Foreign Minister of Russia and formally served as the Director of Foreign Intelligence Service.

Interestingly, Trubnikov is an associate of Halper. ..."

Vladislav Yuryevich Surkov

Vladislav Yuryevich Surkov (born 21 September 1964)[1] is a Russian businessman and politician of Chechen descent.[2]

He was First Deputy Chief of the Russian Presidential Administration from 1999 to 2011, during which time he was widely seen as the main ideologist of the Kremlin who proposed and implemented the concept of sovereign democracy in Russia.

From December 2011 until May 2013 Surkov served as the Russian Federation’s Deputy Prime Minister.[3][4]

After his resignation, Surkov returned to the Presidential Executive Office and became a personal adviser of Vladimir Putin on relationships with Abkhazia, South Ossetia and Ukraine.[5]

Surkov is perceived by many to be a key figure with much power and influence in the administration of Vladimir Putin.[6][7][8]

According to The Moscow Times, this perception is not dependent on the official title Surkov might hold at any one time in the Putin government.[9]

BBC documentary filmmaker Adam Curtis credits Surkov’s blend of theater and politics with keeping Putin, and Putin’s chosen successors, in power since 2000.[10]

Journalists in Russia and abroad have speculated that Surkov writes under the pseudonym Nathan Dubovitsky, although the Kremlin denies it.[11][12][13][14]

[Diogenesis]

why? he knew it was fake.
epstein and clinton and many russian spy friends told him so.

[ETL]

“When did you know there was no conspiracy?”

There WAS a Russia collusion conspiracy!

A DEMOCRAT-Russia collusion conspiracy.

As Nunes says above, Mueller (for reasons that should be obvious by now to everyone here) wasn’t interested in it!

[ETL]

Weasel Mueller should be investigated for fraud in continuing to draw his pay while knowing that there was no collusion.

Not likely true at all. Mueller had to have been aware of "Russia collusion". DEMOCRAT-Russia collusion. After all, he and his pals in the Hillary camp and DNC were in on it!

[JonPreston]

Mueller Should have Investigated the Dossier

Whoa!

[Kahuna]

The more the republicans tip their hand and showboat the line of questioning they have in store for Mueller, the less likely he will show up and/or limit the time for questions from the minority party to 3 seconds. lol
Why can’t they just STFU and take down the left with legal action. It’s beyond time to throw the damn book at the rats and bankrupt everyone of them with legal fees. Take their homes. Take their vacation homes. Take their mistresses’ apartments and play hardball. Ruin their friggin lives.

[JonPreston]

Mueller had to have been aware of "Russia collusion"

Mueller had to have been aware? Not from what I saw at his 9-min press conference. I doubt he knew what day of the week it was. The Ghoul is a front man at this stage of life/career.

[mass55th]

Mueller should have investigated a lot of things, but he didn’t actually run the investigation. He was just the figurehead.

[monkeyshine]

Mueller Should have Investigated the Dossier

Ya think?

We really need to have the 3 Rosenstein appointment "scope" memos declassified. There was only flimsy justification for them to have been redacted in the first place - an investigation into the POTUS should openly state its objective and probable cause to the American people - but now that the investigation is over they should be released unredacted.

That press conference was quite telling. Clearly he couldn’t wait to put the whole thing behind him. He wanted to get out of there as fast as possible, and without being questioned as to his activities or findings. And he was incredibly sloppy in that attempt, as well as in his report. I know of at least 8 major problems with the report in addition to the ethical violation of the statement “we could not exonerate him” that should have him in front of the Bar Association for reprimand.

Great interview on Nunes by Rush in his latest 24/7 letter.

[JonPreston]

He wanted to get out of there as fast as possible, and without being questioned... he was incredibly sloppy.

For sure. Rudy calls him the Wizard of Oz because during the two years of the investigation he saw him once for 15 mins. He's going to get ripped to shreds, if he testifies at all, which is a real possibility.

[PGR88]

Mueller is a crooked, politicized, dirty investigator

He avoid things which didn’t fit his narrative (the dossier origin, Christopher Steele deposition, MI6 role, DNC leaks, source of Flynn confession) and manufactured/embellished others (Russian troll farm connection to Putin, phony hacking of DNC, concord management )

I don’t know why or how anyone should trust the FBI or DOJ again.
