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.
Rosenstein is a Holder political appt.
Mueller....Benghazi, IRS targeting, ISIS ‘JV’, and on and on
There are rumors that WaPo is under court order surveillance to catch leakers. It would be a hoot seeing Mueller’s staff get perp walked for breaking the law here, which would end this bogus investigation and give us a big belly laugh.
There has to be committee hearings and vote scheduled first. That requires official nomination, not just a public announcement.
too many evil players to keep them all straight
Interesting. If true, I can't wait to read the pleadings relating to the order. I know warrants issue in secret, but WaPo would fight this like hell on press privilege grounds.
I have some real problems with the way press privilege is delineated. Can;t recall exctly what my problems are (were), been probably 10 years since I bumped into it and studied it. I just recall that the courts were way too deferential to the press on this, to the detriment of justice.
Personally I think Comey is devious enough and learned quite well from the Clinton’s, Obama, Lynch, and dead body counts that he had his phone tapped/and was recording lot of people.
Why are no charges being demanded for Comey leaking a memo?
What was that secret so important intelligence info where Nunes met with someone that resulted with him having to recuse himself as head of the committee? It all seems like a set up to get top people to recuse themselves. It has worked so far.
Waiting for the announcement that Trump said would come this week regarding tapes/recordings.
I suspect Sessions discovered there were tapes/recordings by Comey and that is why he decided to testify.
When is McConnell going to put new FBI nominee on schedule for confirmation hearings? We know this will be dragged out by both parties.
Oh no I do not think in any way this is fake news. I firmly believe this was leaked and is 100% true. I believe he is fully investigating and intends to recommend obstruction charges against President Trump
Six months from now, this charge will be finished and they will be investigating Trump for “having bad hair,” and crying for impeachment for the offense!
Ask Martha Stewart that question. She was not found guilty of insider trading however somehow she misled investigators having not committed a crime and found herself in prison
My understanding is Rosenstein CHOSE Mueller. Deep State set-up.
I don’t take much for being fed the crap the MSM is trying to shove down everyone’s throats regarding our President and his cabinet.....it’s as if the MS has gone as insane as all the Demorats by constantly beating the drums they’re playing and keeping the listeners in a state of anxiety one way or the other.
There’s so much we can be happy about now.....our President is doing a great Job for our nation and people despite all kinds of obstructions, attacks and threats....yet he moves on continuing to do the right things he’s promised for the people.........and this FOR NO PAY!
The MSM has shown themselves to be as network ratings greedy as WAllStreet.....even to making news about themselves so they can see who the Network Celeb is for the hour...it’s all now daytime and nighttime soap operas designed to keep the public “engaged”.
Please remove this from Breaking News.
I will NOT read this BS.
I think that putting it in Breaking News gives it more exposure than it deserves.
IMHO.
NAh.....it won’t be Hillary you can be sure of that....they just would choose anyone again other than Trump....and we’d all be back in the prison of the Deep State once again....
How does one obstruct justice when there is no underlying crime for justice to prosecute?
PING.
Trying to keep catch up.
Check out # 230 , and # 232 .
Thanks, bitt.

Comey’s good buddy—his former boss(!)— Mueller is in charge.
What a frickin banana Republic.
In an adversarial political witch hunt like this, don’t say anything to any Mueller investigator. Never do it. No talkie so no BS trapie.
They are going to get their coup, and they aren’t going to like the result.
This is literally insane. Just insane what the left is doing.
