If Trump controls the courts (which he doesn't), it wouldn't matter if RR was a white hat or a black hat.
I do think that Mueller as SC was a creation of team Trump. I'm not of a mind that he thought Rosenstein and Mueller would run as far amok as they have, but maybe that is just a matter of uncertainty. Trump always wanted an honest investigation to occur, hands off by him, in order to get the Russian collusion nonsense put to bed once and for all. Seems he drew a non-objective (dishonest hack) for an investigator and prosecutor.
Whether or not Mueller is a black hat, his assignment would be a great honey pot, as you suggest. The DS puts their eggs there, and their DOJ/FBI insiders too.
I'm surprised at the courts. Usually they favor the prosecutor/government, unless they are engaging in social justice. At the very least, this pressure from the courts is an opportunity to adjust the press and public narrative.
Which is why the press is full-on Stormy Daniels. Need to fill the time with anything but pressure on Mueller, success in Korea, and so on.
Wow. Rarely do I read a post where EVERY paragraph has me nodding my head in agreement. VERY logical and also includes my own misgivings. Good explanation of Trump, too. Whole heartedly agree.
President Trump knew he did nothing wrong, so believed he had nothing to fear from an investigation. And by his moral code, if one of his advisors did, then they would deserve what they’d get. A bit of an innocent there because he didn’t know the depth of what goes on in DS. The NY real estate market may have been a good training ground for this, but DC is dirtier than he could have ever imagined. But he’s learning. This is an extraordinary man who has the courage to play Crocodile Dundee to these critters. I’m still betting on Dundee.
