VIDEO: 31 Aug: BizPacReview: Samantha Chang: Hannity panel explodes over news Mueller’s righthand man was in on Russia ‘hoax’: This should kill the probe
Attorney Bruce Ohr, an Obama holdover in the Department of Justice, kept Andrew Weissmann — Robert Mueller’s deputy — in the loop about the dirty “Trump Dossier” that was used to kick-start Mueller’s investigation into alleged Russian collusion with the 2016 Trump campaign.
“This is a dramatic and stunning development that should effectively end Robert Mueller’s special counsel investigation,” said attorney Gregg Jarrett, author of the No. 1 bestseller, The Russia Hoax. “In fact, he should immediately fire Andrew Weissman and terminate his special counsel probe.”...
Jarrett made the remarks during a panel discussion with Judge Jeanine Pirro and investigative reporter Sara Carter on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show...

Mueller knows he is a target after the election.
“And thus the competing theories about the Trump/Sessions relationship are set up once again.”
I have a third theory. Trump is the best transitioning from defense to offense. He managed so far to stay above water without Sessions assistance.
My theory goes like this: Over the last two years, Sessions has built up enough credibility in the media not to be considered a Trump acolyte. To anyone who looks at this objectively, Sessions is doing the job he is supposed to be doing, staying above any partisanship. And by recusing himself, Trump’s anger at him casts Sessions in a positive light with the media.
Eventually, Trump will change postures from defense to offense. That will probably come right after the election providing Republicans hold both the house and senate. Timing is a big issue here. If this happens, Trump has two full years to exact his pound of flesh. At that point, Sessions with Huber’s report can start handing out indictments to the entire Clinton Cabal and there won’t be a thing Democrats can do about it.
The best part about this theory is Sessions came off as non-partisan so Trump has plausible deniability to influencing Sessions.
I would not be so sure whatever Mueller says is good news. (For him.). The Friday of Labor Day weekend is the absolute worst time to release news you want covered. No one is around. The “D” team will be staffing newsrooms.
