No, I’m not surprised but am still miffed at Jeff Sessions for being putty in their hands. He shouldn’t have recused himself - he did nothing wrong. I’m just not sure he has the spine for the job as AG. I hope he proves me wrong, but, so far, I’m not impressed.
Good observation Mr. Newt.
I’ve said that here on FR, shortly after the testimony. He and the Swamp Party set this up with leaks to get Mueller in place. DOJ should fire the weasel and appoint a bird dog that will dig deep into all of the evil shenanigans of the deep staters. I emailed the WH to this effect.
I’ve been concerned since Mueller was first mentioned. I’m not surprised.
wow this is good. every once in a while he has a great argument.
I love Newt! He’s so smart!,
DJT needs to say he is considering firing Mueller and appointing Vladimir Putin as Special Council.
Maybe do it as a hot mic gag.
“leak the documents in hopes a special counsel would be appointed”
Notice that the democrats, the DNC, started yelling for a special counsel immediately. The msm also lined up. Message: “a special counsel should be called”
This is similar to when Lynch had Comey take part in the election with respect to the messaging for the DNC and the msm regarding Clinton’s emails and server. Message: “it is just a matter” “a security review”
Comey certainly tainted any evidence for the investigation where actually no credible evidence exists.
Mueller has to prosecute Comey, that is the only way Mueller can continue his investigation
I heard Lou Dobbs say the investigators couldn’t investigate because the investigators were the ones doing the crimes. That took comey’s testimony to finally hear someone say the intelligence dept is corrupt.. it was corrupted by hillary and obama... loretta lynch did what hillary wanted and they all did what obama wanted.. all are corrupt.. and that’s what we have been saying about draining the swamp.
“This statement is tremendously important because it completely delegitimizes Robert Mueller’s so-called independent investigation and reveals it as poisoned fruit,”
Comey’s testimony should have voided Mueller’s appointment automatically.
If the Dems retake the House, it is over. Trump will already be a lame-duck. The Dems would rather have gridlock than to let Trump's agenda take fruit.
The Democrats control nothing in Washington or in the majority of the states. Yet, they are out there fighting tooth and nail and controlling the agenda as if the Republicans don't exist. I'm telling you folks - now is the perfect time to buy goods, guns, and supplies and start buying land out in the country. Because this country's problems aren't going to be solved by continuing to vote for Republicans.
"So, what we have here is a fired FBI director, who leaked private material to the press, so he could get his friend appointed as a special counsel in order to take retribution on the President – with the aid of a department full of federal lawyers who would have rather seen Hillary in the White House. And we are supposed to believe this will be an objective, unbiased investigation?" Gingrich wrote.
Newt is right about this. And, combined with this (below) from the May 17th edition of The New Yorker, I can only say that I hope our President has enough loyalists watching his back:
Rod Rosenstein’s decision is an important indication of the shifting mood in Washington: his appointment of Robert Mueller was an act of self-protection. A career prosecutor who was criticized for lending his voice to the firing of the former F.B.I. director James Comey, Rosenstein has chosen to hand off the Russia investigation, rejecting Republican leaders’ repeated statements that such a move was unnecessary
I can’t think of a better name for Gungrich than poisoned fruit.
Good observation Mr. Gingrich. I’d go so far to say that any “fruit” from this investigation is poisoned due to the entire tree being poisoned and of course ridiculously biased.
Attaching a biased Trump loyal person to ride shotgun on the Mueller investigation would keep the investigation honest and let the right people know to fire Mueller if he steps one tiny inch out of line in his bias.
The republican leadership appears to be making one bad decision or judgment after another since President Trump was sworn in. What is wrong with these people? I get that Trump is an unconventional President but I’m sure the grown men and women in the house and senate can adjust accordingly to make good things happen. Why aren’t they?
I’m sad to say because I had high hopes for AG Sessions but he is not the right person for that job. He was much better as a Senator. Maybe another good position can be found for him within the Admin to utilize his better skills being wasted as AG. Maybe a right hand for Vice President Pence to be a go between with the senate and house.
If Mueller is not frog marching Bolshies there will be no justice. Collusion is being flexible.
Newt is dead on
