“Why is this not investigated?”
Who says it isn’t?
Rosenstein and Mueller must be fired. Let the political chips fall where they may. Otherwise the republic and the Constitution will be in jeopardy.
My theory is that the authorization language was written by Comey and Mueller and provided to Rosenstein. Rosenstein used to work under Mueller in the DOJ in the ‘90s.
They all need to be put under oath and questioned about contacts and conversations leading up to the appointment, and then cross-check their accounts against emails and phone records and any other witnesses.
Special prosecutor is supposed to be invoked if there has been a crime committed. No crime has been committed and the republicans, and of course the Dems and media have stayed silent on this matter. Collusion isn’t a federal crime, if there was conclusive evidence of collusion between Trump team and Russian officials it would be a political matter but nothing criminal in nature. Mueller is fishing for anything they can dig up to justify the process and that includes perjury trap on Trump staff on benign subjects like ‘you lied when you said that you ate a ham sandwich on Tuesday, it was roast beef’.
They can not go away empty-handed now in their mind
The only way this thing works out for President Trump is that something comes out about this conspiracy and coup to toppled him is exposed and that Mueller and team along with Dems have to go away
Firing Mueller isn’t so easy now because obviously most of the Republicans are now backing not firing him and Mueller probably wants to be fired because then the goal of bringing Trump down or at least stymie his agenda for next 3 years will be complete
So there is no authorization for Trump financial information. Wow, if you investigated the Clinton financial information even bernie knows they would be in prison.
DJT needs to fire both of these people TODAY!
How could this have worked out any worse if Sessions was a Deep State traitor?
I am in the process of filing a complaint with the inspector general of the Department of Justice. most of what you outlined and mostly taken from andrew mccarthy’s article a few days ago.
Sounds like a number of wooden shampoos are in order for Team ThugMueller...
Mueller is a drag queen...
Great points.
Also Comey admitted illegally leaking to get an “independent” counsel appointed. This was illegal. So the whole grounds for creating the independent counsel were illegal.
My view is the independent counsel appointment should be declared invalid to get rid of the independent counsel. Then there would also be no need to “fire” the independent counsel, the independent counsel would be removed based on invalid appointment, he was never properly authorized or legally created.
Looks like this thread needs to go to McGahn and Trump’s other lawyers. The Whitehouse.gov email address doesn’t seem to work presently, it is taking one in a circular loop and not allowing the submission of emails. Had worked fine before but they apparently changed the whole format. Possible sabotage from the inside intentionally given everything going on with the leaks and all.
There is no 28 CFR authority for a special counsel to conduct a ‘counterintelligence investigation’ There was no crime to investigate. The authorization is invalid.
Report: Mueller seeks details from WH on Flynn lobbying for Turkish businessman
The CFR cited is not law.
These are internal DOJ procedures, decided on within the DOJ.
Currently, there is no Special Counsel law.
This is entirely within the Executive Branch, subject to considerations of politics. The President can do what he wants with the SC, as long as he’s willing to pay whatever political price results.
Donald Trump should convene a meeting this weekend with every Republican party senator, congressman and party official and let it be known that there are two possibilities:
1. First thing Monday the Republican party acts in 100% concert to put an end to this ridiculous unfounded witch-hunt.
2. First thing Tuesday Donald Trump resigns from the Republican party and ceases to fund-raise for them. He then forms his own party which will mount primary challenges against any legislator who doesn’t join him.
The sleazy Republican back-stabbing has gone on long enough, it’s time that Trump use some of his considerable power and clout against these weasels.
Does the law allow the AG to alter or cancel an authorization memo for a special prosecutor? If so, the AG should refine the authorization memo to (1) expand it to include the supposed “hack” of the DNC Email, the Seth Rich Murder, & the Pakistani IT consultants; and (2) it should set limits to the authorization confining it to only the matters detailed in it and giving it dates certain to wrap up its work.
