Mueller adds muscle for Russia investigation
Axios ^ | June 11, 2017 | Mike Allen

Posted on 06/11/2017 2:30:13 PM PDT by be-baw

"The Worst Thing That Happened to Donald Trump this Week" — Paul Rosenzweig, on the Lawfare blog: Special counsel "Robert Mueller has hired Michael Dreeben, on a part-time basis, to help with his investigation. Dreeben, a deputy in the Office of the Solicitor General, has argued more than 100 cases before the Supreme Court. His specialty has, for the last 20 years, been criminal matters and he has an encyclopedic knowledge of criminal law."

Be smart: Mueller is amassing the talent arsenal you'd build to bring criminal charges.

Mueller cannot be in charge of this investigation. He’s just too close to Comey. That isn’t a hard argument to make.

That was an argument to make to the GOPe agent Rosenstein. It's far too late now.

This whole thing lays at Sessions feet. Had he not been a stupid idiot, he would have never recused himself. Damn. But we are beyond that now.

It is now Strategic Defense. The law says if they have the right amount of votes, Congress can impeach him REGARDLESS of evidence. Their votes are NOT subject to judicial review.

What that means is, if there are enough idiots or global traitors (or both), any president can be impeached for any reason whatsoever. They may not like his hair, they may not like his tie. Whatever prompts them to vote in a certain way, it does NOT matter.

Bottom line is President Trump’s (and ALL Patriots’) fate(s) are at the mercy of Congress.

I do recall in the Old Testament, there were many times God wiped out masses of people. I’ve always wondered about why He would kill like that. What I now reason is, He knows there are truly nasty, evil-spirited people who will never be “rehabilitated”, and thus His decision to eradicate them was necessary.

I’m trying to make sense of all this wickedness. Does that make sense to anyone else?

” Damn you Jeff Sessions. How could you be such a fool? “

Easy to answer, he was a Republican Senator for many years!

One of the Senators needs to ask Rosenstein why he appointed Mueller even though he was a close friend of Comey.

And they need to ask Rosenstein if he discussed with Comey who should be Special Counsel. And whether Comey was allowed to see a draft of the appointment letter before it was issued.

Comey says he leaked to get a Special Counsel because of the way Trump dealt with him on the Flynn matter and his being fired. But the Special Counsel appointment did not mention these things.

Did Comey and Mueller conspire to get Mueller appointed Special Counsel on false pretenses, and then afterward they would use the power of that office to bring down Trump on a different matter, such as obstruction of justice?

He can’t fire the special prosecutor. It is out of his hands.

Does it not seem that knowing Mueller’s relationship with Comey that any charges he might bring against President Trump could be overturned or defeated because of that relationship???

It could go all the way to the Supreme Court if need be....

Sessions did not appoint Mueller. Remember, he recused himself on anything Russia.

Does anyone think that Mueller will stop building his empire just because there is nothing to investigate?

Is it possible Feinstien could recommend he drop the Russia case and pick up the Lynch obstructing justice case?

Good evening.

“Trump must fire both Mueller and Rosenstein, and he must do it soon.”

Imho, he shouldn’t. This whole “Special council” thing might blow up in the democrats face.

“This whole thing lays at Sessions feet. Had he not been a stupid idiot, he would have never recused himself. Damn. But we are beyond that now”.

I think it is more likely that the “unmasking” included Sessions and the majority of Republicants. Therefore, Sessions was coerced into stepping aside (at least temporarily). I think its quite possible a silent coup has been attempted.
