... Gingrich, who also appeared on The Laura Ingraham Show, pointed to the early hires special counsel Robert Mueller has made.
Republicans are delusional if they think the special counsel is going to be fair, he tweeted. Look who he is hiring.check fec [sic] reports. Time to rethink.
He's not wrong about the donations. Four top lawyers hired by Mueller have contributed tens of thousands of dollars over the years to the Democratic Party and Democratic candidates, including former President Barack Obama and President Donald Trump's 2016 opponent, Hillary Clinton.
One of the hires, Jeannie Rhee, also worked as a lawyer for the Clinton Foundation and helped persuade a federal judge to block a conservative activist's attempts to force Bill and Hillary Clinton to answer questions under oath about operations of the family-run charity.

Well, he's been underestimated at every step. I am willing to see what Sessions does here in the next few weeks.
But i'm watching. If PDJT starts getting injured i will start losing confidence in sessions....
Is there anything to stop Rosenstein from allowing the expansion? Does Rosenstein have to inform or consult with anyone before doing so?
Of the answer to either question, espcially the first, is “No,” then something has to be done.
Wait a minute...
If he keeps on stacking the obvious hacks onto his staff, it discredits everything he does.
Maybe there is a method to this madness??
Yes - there needs to be multiple special counsels - each looking into a lefty issue. And as Mueller knows, they’ll all lead to Comey [and him].
If the multiple ICs move forward, we’ll have competing groups and the people will have to decide.
If Mueller et al decide to hang it up b/c too much risk, that’s ok too. But later they’ll still get investigated he he he
I say - time for multiple ICs.
The principle that the expansion is reasonably related to the initial grant. But that is just a general principle of drawing boundary lines around investigations, which is at bottom a fact-finding activity. If the facts and witnesses Mueller is dealing with in the Manafort, Sessions, Flynn, Carter Page investigations into campaign colluding with the Russian government turn up additional names doing the same sort of activity, that expansion naturally fits.
Oick some other expansion - it's nonsense to argue or analyze them in the abstract. Trump obstructing that investigation? Non-starter, trust me. Sure, the press and DEMs make things up, but there is nothing there for many reasons, and Mueller isn't going to touch it.
Separately, I see Trump is prepping the battlefield for Sessions testimony today - "A.G. Lynch made law enforcement decisions for political purposes...gave Hillary Clinton a free pass and protection. Totally illegal!" @realDonaldTrump - 8:45 AM - 13 Jun 2017
“.......there already is an independent counsel in place.”......
In today’s world, there is NO “INDEPENDENT COUNSEL”, most of them are bought and paid for by someone.
Ping.

Gregg Jarrett: Are Mueller and Comey colluding against Trump by acting as co-special counsel?

Another example of the depth and breath of "The Deep State".
Comey stated in his address to Congress that he wrote his memo, in the hopes that a special prosecutor would be called
by his own admission, he planned it this way.
And just who would be that special prosecutor end up being, his predecessor, personal friend, and mentor, Robert Mueller.
It's just another "daisey-chain" which demonstrates the depth of the "Deep State" resistance to 'draining the SWAMP'.
Was it not obvious that this was going to happen when Mueller’s first action as Counsel was to meet privately with Comey to “collect materials?”
Well, if it's on Twitter, it MUST be true.
Really, if we yell and scream about the left-wingers using "anonymous sources" or "unnamed insiders" as legitimate news sources, how can we use "Justice Department Source" for reliable information?
This is #fakenews until the source is named and verified.
The one concern I have is, these dominos have been all too conveniently placed. From Flynn, to Sessions recusal, to Comey, to Mueller. Now Mueller stocks his staff will those having a vested interest in bringing Trump down. There’s no way Deep State would be this obvious in baiting Trump to dismiss the Special Counsel, without having a reaction strategy they want to initiate.
They are acting like they have set a primrose path to impeachment, but sacking Mueller alone would not be enough to justify it. They still need to overcome the hurdle of picking off ~20 Republican Senators.
I don’t have any thoughts yet as to what the next play is. Muh Russia is dead. Mueller will be shut down shortly. It doesn’t look like Trump has blundered into any process crime.
I think President Trump knows what he’s doing...He did not get to where he is in business and this election by being blind and not knowing what is going on around him...
Trump, I believe, has his own plan and it will take place at the right moment...
As we have seen since the election, Trump’s timing is impeccable....
Slightly OT. FWIW. Sessions could end the entire matter today. All he has to do is show Comey committed a crime. Not hard to do since Comey already admitted to several crimes. Get him with his own Memos, notes, etc... Make a fool out of Comey and then charge him. Go down the list to whomever is next. Hillary, Lynch, Obama, etc... Mueller will fold quickly. tie him to crimes from past. Sessions is head of the DOJ. He either has it in him or he doesn’t. Today its $hit or get off the Pot.
Sessions was the first main line beltway conservative to endorse Trump. I suppose that’s why he had his pick of cabinet perches and he chose DOJ.
Hope you’re right. You seem quite knowledgeable.
And still there are people on our side who think Muller can be fair.
Comey is meeting with Muller so they can keep their stories straight!
Many of these Pollyannas on our side are the same ones (”not the hill to die on” types) who insisted that those of us who think he’s a shill were paranoid for objecting to MSM partisans moderating the presidential debates & for saying that fall that Democrats (Brazile, for one) were feeding her Thighness debate and press questions ahead of time.
Politics is like making sausage. Wake up!
I give it better than half that Mueller is gone in a fortnight. He gets about 6 weeks on the government payroll along with all those partisan Dems he’s hiring, but it’s another line for your resume Mueller.
And Congress, if you want a Special Counsel chasing BS ghosts, hire one yourself. However your Congressional careers may not last very long, especially if you are a Repub.
Mueller now risks being fired by Trump for being biased.
That's exactly how it should work.
Some guy named Joey says he has a source. OK then... I guess it’s as good as CNN’s anonymous sources.
