Robert Mueller soon may be exposed as the 'magician of omission' on Russia
thehill.com ^ | 7/23/19 | JOHN SOLOMON

Posted on 07/23/2019 5:13:54 PM PDT by ransomnote

While most of the political world focused its attention elsewhere, special prosecutor John Durham’s team quietly reached out this summer to a lawyer representing European academic Joseph Mifsud, one of the earliest and most mysterious figures in the now closed Russia-collusion case.

An investigator told Swiss attorney Stephan Roh that Durham’s team wanted to interview Mifsud, or at the very least review a recorded deposition the professor gave in summer 2018 about his role in the drama involving Donald Trump, Russia and the 2016 election.

The contact, confirmed by multiple sources and contemporaneous email, sent an unmistakable message: Durham, the U.S. attorney handpicked by Attorney General William Barr to determine whether the FBI committed abuses during the Russia investigation, is taking a second look at one of the noteworthy figures and the conclusions of former special counsel Robert Mueller’s final report.

The evidence I reviewed suggests Mueller’s handiwork may be exposed for glaring omissions that, when brought to public light, leave key questions unanswered, especially about how the FBI’s unprecedented probe of the Trump campaign started.

Durham is focused on determining whether any government or private figures who came in contact with the Trump campaign in 2016 “were engaged in improper surveillance,” a U.S. official told me when asked about the Mifsud overture.

For those who don’t remember, Mifsud is a Maltese-born academic with a VIP Rolodex who frequented Rome and London for years and engaged at the highest levels of Western diplomatic and intelligence circles.

Mueller’s team alleges that Mifsud is the person who fed a story in spring 2016 to Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos about Moscow possessing purloined emails from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. ~more at link~

Almost feel for the guy, almost. If he pleases his swamp masters, he goes to jail. If he does not, he risks a fatal accident.

Yeah, but what about Muffsit? He’s gotta be in there somewhere.

I think Mueller is losing it. I think he may be in the early stages of dementia. Watch how confused he looks and add the fact that he needs a handler.

Executive Summary:

The “omissions” referenced in the excerpt are omissions that would help Trump and hurt Mueller, possibly to a very strong degree. They concern information about what is looking more and more like large-scale dirty tricks campaign run by the FBI with help from the State Department, and one aspect of this operation; specifically, the attempt to entrap George Papadopoulos in a phony crime, the crime of possessing emails that originated in Hillary Clinton’s state department.

A key player in this little do-si-do was an a-hole named Joseph Mifsud, who is apparently a Russian agent, or at least operative. It looks like Mueller was pointedly not interested in the comings and goings of Mifsud, or in his motivations, or in the degree of his contact with and control by Russia... which obviously would reveal Russian collusion by the Hillary Clinton campaign, not the Trump campaign.

Just more evidence of standard Democrat-Alinsky-Leninist strategic doctrine: do whatever you want in order to win by any means necessary, and don’t forget to accuse your opponent of whatever you are doing, and while you’re at it leave lots of phony evidence to support your phony accusation.

“If he’s elected, we’re all gonna hang from nooses.”

This whole concocted drama is so evil. Barack, Hillary and all the rest of the conspirators deserve a harsh fate. They are darn lucky President Trump doesn’t collude with Putin, otherwise they would all be drinking polonium milkshakes!

IIRC, Mifsud has not been seen in a long time. Probably dead?

Mueller sends jack booted FBI assault teams to raid the homes of supporters of POTUS. Durham “reaches out to the lawyer” of Deep State asset Mifsud. How NOT reassuring this tidbit is.

The CIA infiltrated media in the 1950's. I've seen black and white footage of a head of a network news channel being interviewed about it - it was then known as Operation Mocking bird. I believe it still exists as the CIA would never give up control - it's why the media is agitating for POTUS to be removed by any means necessary. But then Trump won so there was some recalculation to do. Over the past few years, finding articles and videos about it becomes more difficult but you can still find some if you try.

One of Obama's gifts to our nation in September of 2016: 

US Govt Just Legalized Operation Mockingbird — FBI Can Now Impersonate the Media/

 September 22, 2016

FBI agents conducting undercover investigations have now been given the green light to impersonate journalists, the Justice Department determined last week — effectively legalizing the government’s most notorious propaganda program, Operation Mockingbird.

Last Thursday, the Department of Justice Office of Inspector General published what’s become the subject of outrage for journalists, civil and constitutional rights advocates, and legal experts  — “A Review of the FBI’s Impersonation of a Journalist in a Criminal Investigation.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I expect the uniform strangeness on the part of the MSM to continue, it's indoctrination efforts continue apace as the dirt flows into the court of public opinion and the Deep State screams "NOTHING TO SEE HERE!"

To my mind, his dealings re Mifsud, et al, pale in comparison to his PERSONAL schlepping over to Moscow with samples of yellow cake uranium, resulting in the sale of 20 percent of America’s uranium to Russia, for which the Clinton Crime Slushfund was paid $240+ Million LARGE, and for which the U.S. gubmint received zed!

Mueller is a professional Perjury Trapper with more pelts stacked up than the Hudson Bay Trading Co.

His career is an abysmal sad trap line of much political and retaliatory unconstitutional pain and suffering

I am pretty sure there will be a special place in Hell reserved for him.

When Hillary ran the State Department, that branch of the government belonged to her, lock stock and barrel. Just like North Korea belongs to Kim Jong Un, just like Yugoslavia was the personal property of Tito, just like Stalin owned the USSR, and every man, woman and child in it was his personal property, exactly like the owner of a cattle ranch owns every head on his land.

The State Department was hers, to do with what she wished, and any monetary deals that were made while she was Secretary of State belonged to her too, with the money going straight into her accounts. That's the way the Clintons operate, and have always operated, and they get away with it too.

And if you don't like it, you can drop dead too.

As a born again Christian (August 18, 1962) I wonder if, in the realm of the spirit, when someone like Mueller spends an entire career pretending to be a straight arrow, while actually committing all manner of treachery and perfidy and calumny; whether at some point the rotten blotches on their mind and soul might fester, and become rotten and their false persona fall apart...like ol’ Bob’s?
