Finally: President Trump calls Mueller’s Investigation Illegal

There’s an old Chinese blessing (or curse, depending on the “source”) which says: may you live in interesting times. And interesting times we live in my friends, at least from the news-cycle perspective. If you remember the Mueller investigation, which started almost 2 years ago, well, its aim was to determine whether the Trump campaign colluded with those pesky russkies in what has been largely described by the talking heads in the fake news corporate left-mainstream-media as “Russia Collusion”. Forget about the fact that “collusion” is not illegal, but concentrate on the main issue: Mueller’s DEM filled investigation team was supposed to find out who did what with whom from Russia, or something along these lines. After tens of millions of dollars (taxpayer money obviously) spent on smoke and mirrors, and countless lives ruined by this so-called “independent” investigation (Flynn, Manafort et al), there is zero (as in 0) evidence with regard to any “Russian collusion” in the 2016 campaign. At least on Trump’s part.

And today, the POTUS drew a line in the sand and said: enough is enough. He also stated clearly what many people were already saying from the beginning: Mueller’s investigation is illegal. Here’s from an interview with Rudi Giuliani, Trump’s attorney, who revealed that Donald Trump’s legal team is working at a rebuttal to counter (preemptively) a possible negative report from Mueller’s team:

Is this the Bombshell ? LOL

A law or act is Legal only if it is enforced. A law or act is Illegal only if it is prosecuted. Been saying that for decades. I don’t know what the game is: Wether Sessions is in on a very long game plan with Pres DJT or if Pres DJT is simply playing a very long game plan using Sessions as a buffon. I do know Pres DJT seems like the proverbial pitt bull who won’t let go of his opponent until he’s done with them..... then he resorts back to amicably doing Business As Usual. So time will tell.....

Well, The President is going to have to take decisive action at some point. By that, I mean firing Sessions, Rosenstein and/or Mueller, and/or shutting down the special prosecutor investigation entirely (which presumably would send ongoing prosecutions to local US Attorney offices). He may be waiting until after the mid-term election. Or he may be waiting until after the horrible Paul Ryan is gone and a new Congress sworn in. He may be waiting to see if the GOP holds the House. IDK. But I don’t think remaining a punching bag and guessing as to Mueller’s intentions is a good strategy.

He should fire anyone he can that is cooperating with illegal procedures. Just like expecting fairness on tariffs.

If he really believes it to be illegal, then clearly Trump must now decisively act to stop it, as he is the chief law enforcement officer and it would e a dereliction of his sworn duty to do otherwise.
