“Of course Trump didn’t hire Mueller. That was Rosenstein’s doing, and Rosenstein’s alone. Trump had no idea it was even in the works. The tag team of Sessions and Rosenstein blindsided him.”
Because Trump, who said in the 2nd debate that he intended to have his AG appoint a special prosecutor, is clueless. And Sessions didn’t hear the debate anyway. And the two of them couldn’t possibly be smart enough to have planned this. And Rosenstein had never ever consulted Trump and Sessions who are clueless anyway.
Yep, that’s the ticket!
You do know that Trump tweeted today complaining about “the lack of (an) investigation”, right?

President Donald Trump on Thursday blasted the appointment of Robert Mueller to be the special prosecutor overseeing the investigation into Russia’s meddling into the 2016 election, calling the probe “the single greatest witch hunt of a politician in American history.”
He also accused former President Barack Obama’s administration and the campaign of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton of committing “illegal acts,” complaining that his campaign will now face the scrutiny of a special prosecutor while neither his predecessor nor 2016 opponent ever have.
“With all of the illegal acts that took place in the Clinton campaign & Obama Administration, there was never a special councel [sic] appointed!” the president wrote on Twitter on Thursday morning, without elaborating further on the illegal acts he accused the Clinton campaign and Obama administration of committing.

‘The Department of Justice announced Wednesday night that former FBI Director Mueller will lead an independent investigation into Russian efforts to interfere in last year’s presidential campaign as well as into the possibility of collusion between the Kremlin and Trump associates. The White House had regularly objected to the idea of a special prosecutor, characterizing such an appointment as unnecessary.’
On May 17, 2017, Mueller was appointed as Special Counsel by Rosenstein. The following morning Trump tweeted:

This is the single greatest witch hunt of a politician in American history!

Today pretty much confirms Mulehead is working for Trump.
Everything pre-Trump. Two GJ witnesses saying all testimony about Manafort (the Funnel) and the Podestas.
Mulehead’s path given the early emphasis is toward the Podestas, then Cankles. He might as well have exonerated Trump today.
BTW, Sessions and Trump meeting at noon.
