The special counsel overseeing the investigation into Russia’s role in the 2016 election is interviewing senior intelligence officials as part of a widening probe that now includes an examination of whether President Trump attempted to obstruct justice, officials said.

The move by Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III to investigate Trump’s own conduct marks a major turning point in the nearly year-old FBI investigation, which until recently focused on Russian meddling during the presidential campaign and on whether there was any coordination between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin. Investigators have also been looking for any evidence of possible financial crimes among Trump associates, officials said.

If it’s fakely proven that Trump obstructed justice and he is removed from office and the election would be declared null and void. Do these people really believe 60 million people will accept Hillary as president? Because that’s their plan.

Greg Jarrett to Lou Dobbs today: Mueller and Comey longtime friends; Special Counsel regs specifically forbid a conflict like this; if Mueller had any ethics at all he would recuse; lawyers get de-barred for violating rules like this.

Hillary is behind ALL this, there is no doubt, no guessing, no conspiracy thinking whatsoever, it is FACT.

Not Hillary. Obama. He bought a house in DC for a reason.

There may be more on him than a hinky adoption.

At this point, WaPo has been shown to not only use anonymous sources, but fabricate stories that have no source at all; they just fit the narrative. The WaPo needed a story today as a blocker to the Deranged democrat Bernie voter shooting Republicans, so they decided to lie big.

That is the whole plan. They are going to do this the entire time Trump is in office. If they can’t remove him from office they will simply stop any legislative actions.

This is a coup attempt by Meuler, the deep state, the media and democrat party.
Exactly.

I think it’s about time Trump started using the bully pulpit. He needs to get out in front of the American people in a prime time speech and nail these people to the wall.

Bingo. Meuller is temporary director filling in until Trump picks the official director.

You mean McCabe is Acting Director. Wray has not been officially nominated. It was merely announced that he would be.

Wapo has long been used by the intelligence community. I doubt it stopped when mockingbird supposedly ended.

JMO, they are only faces. High ranking faces, but not the ones truly in charge. They have skin in the game and blood on their hands, but that’s why they make the big bucks. Whoever is really in charge allows the faces to keep considerable loot and they maintain political control with that money and a deserved reputation for ruthlessness. But they are all on notice that they are known and vulnerable, which increases the ruthlessness factor.

Look for trillionaires, probably not US citizens, likely involved with global Central Banking and various fiscal entities with all sorts of protection.

The Faces are expendable, they know it and are acting accordingly. Their risk equals their rewards.

Soros is old enough to die of *natural causes*.
Both Clintons are rumored to be ill and they aren’t young, either. Death would not be *unexpected*. Obama is the most vulnerable, as the real controllers, the ones who placed him on his post, could benefit greatly from the death of a martyr.

As long as we are distracted by baying for the heads of the Faces, the real culprits continue to enjoy their anonymity. We can take down layer upon layer while the ones in charge simply elevate yet another Face and remain protected.

They ain’t playing beanbag. Trump threatens a global cabal. Make no mistake: they kill him and we’re next. They will make us suffer greatly, first. WWIII is already in progress.

So the question is why is Rosenstein allowing Mueller to continue and not demand he recuse himself? It is a definite conflict of interest.

Notice Ryan, McConnell not asking for Mueller’s recusal.

Cernovich and AJ said not 2 days ago that the NWO is going for it. They mean to kill Trump.

And yes, we’re next.

These people in DC and all over GOTTA SLEEP SOMETIME.
