Mueller adds muscle for Russia investigation
Axios ^ | June 11, 2017 | Mike Allen

Posted on 06/11/2017 2:30:13 PM PDT by be-baw

"The Worst Thing That Happened to Donald Trump this Week" — Paul Rosenzweig, on the Lawfare blog: Special counsel "Robert Mueller has hired Michael Dreeben, on a part-time basis, to help with his investigation. Dreeben, a deputy in the Office of the Solicitor General, has argued more than 100 cases before the Supreme Court. His specialty has, for the last 20 years, been criminal matters and he has an encyclopedic knowledge of criminal law."

Be smart: Mueller is amassing the talent arsenal you'd build to bring criminal charges.

Trump must fire both Mueller and Rosenstein, and he must do it soon.

Mueller job was to create an Obstruction of Justice case, ans sessions was too dumb to figure that out.

Send Mueller home. His appointment was based on an act of trickery.

A special prosecutor has one job; BURN SOMEONE!

They have a wide open door with no need for warrants or evidence and can go off on any line of questioning or pursuit.

Any witness who comes before them is vulnerable. Here’s how special prosecutors work in our nation’s capitol:

Prosecutor: "Mr. Citizen, before we get into collusion with Russia, I'd like to ask you about November 22, the day the President was shot"

Joe Citizen: "Do you mean President Kennedy? I wasn't born until 1969."

Prosecutor: "We'll let's put that aside. Have you ever taken an illegal substance?"

Joe: "What has that got to do with..."

Prosecutor: "Isn't it true that you've taken copier paper home from work hidden in your brief case."

Joe: "I don't see how..."

Prosecutor: "Please tell the jury how many times you have driven home after several cocktails, knowing full well that the legal limit is .08%"

Joe: "I don't have to..."

Prosecutor: "... and didn't you falsify your IRS return by stating that..."

Joe:"I want a lawyer"

Prosecutor: "Why do need a lawyer, Joe? Is it because you are NOT TELLING THE TRUTH?" - "What is it you are hiding from the people, Mr. Citizen? Do you know that deceiving a grand jury is a FELONY OFFENSE?"

Joe: "But, I'm not..."

Prosecutor: " OH REALLY? Let me ask you if at anytime in your life, even as a child did you ever think about ...ever even consider harming someone of another race or gender? What about the president, or a member of government? --- THINK CAREFULLY, MR. CITIZEN - YOU’RE UNDER OATH!"

I was corrected on this. He is not special prosecutor. Special council

since he seems to be staffing for a criminal investigation, it is logical he will go after a criminal

the criminal known with certainty is hillary

Mueller cannot be in charge of this investigation. He’s just too close to Comey. That isn’t a hard argument to make.

Swamp denizen Robert Mueller has been appointed special counsel to investigate if Russia influenced the 2016 presidential election.

FACTS ON FILE Judicial Watch exclusively obtained droves of records back in 2013 documenting how, under Mueller’s leadership, the FBI purged all anti-terrorism training material deemed “offensive” to Muslims after secret meetings between Islamic organizations and the FBI chief. Judicial Watch had to sue to get the records and published an in-depth report on the scandal in 2013 and a lengthier, updated follow-up in 2015.

TALKING POINTS-—Mueller’s misguided handiwork and collaboration with radical Islamist organizations as FBI director means he should be dumped....subito.

One of the Senators needs to ask Rosenstein why he appointed Mueller even though he was a close friend of Comey. Would it have been OK to appoint a friend of Trump?

He should also be asked if, after Comey’s testimony, Mueller should recuse himself or be removed.

And while we are at it, Sessions should be asked a similar question. He recused himself because of his proximity to the case. Would he do so if he were in Mueller’s position?

This whole think looks like a bag job.

Horrible. Mueller is commissioned for a witch hunt. He will be successful. Somehow. Anything it takes.

“Mueller cannot be in charge of this investigation”

What investigation? Investigation of what?

This is not an investigation, it’s a conspiracy to void the election. It should be stopped immediately, by firing Rosenstein and Mueller.

Doesn’t matter how talented he is — he can’t create fake evidence. But we need to ask our brain-dead Republican legislators why somebody that talented isn’t investigating the Democratic deep state, where they’d actually find something.

Ya' think? The entire Washington establishment is working together to bring our President down. If we as a people, allow them to destroy our President then we kinda' deserve the rotten govt swamp we currently have.
