'What the Hell Are We Investigating?': GOP Rep Slams Mueller Inquiry
foxnews.com ^ | 6/12/2017

Posted on 06/13/2017 6:00:54 AM PDT by Helicondelta

Congressman Sean Duffy (R-Wis.) criticized the special counsel investigation of President Trump.

GWU Professor Jonathan Turley said the probe, headed by former FBI Director Robert Mueller, now includes a litigator who has been reprimanded for obstruction in past cases.

He and another new member of Mueller's team reportedly also donated thousands of dollars to Democratic candidates.

"This seems more like an effort to prosecute Donald Trump," Duffy said.

"What the hell are we investigating?" he asked, saying that ex-FBI chief James Comey testified that there is no evidence of collusion between Trump and Russia.

"Why are we going through with this charade?" Duffy asked.

He called the probe a Democratic effort to undermine Trump's electoral victory and stall his agenda.

This is just another Democrat effort to sabotage Pres. Trump, paid for with millions of our tax dollars going to Democrat friends of the Clintons and Obama who will try to drag out their investigation through his first four years in office.

It’s time the GOP Congress and Senate pull the plug on this total waste of their time and our money. Every GOP Senator ought to walk out of the Sessions hearing this afternoon, but of course, they won’t because they want to be on TV. What a farce.

Leftists have judged Trump to be guilty. Now they just need to find a crime.

They wanted to impeach Nixon in his first term (long before Watergate). They wanted to impeach Reagan long before Iran-Contra. They wanted to impeach GHWBush. They wanted to impeach GWBush long before Abu Ghraib.

The peaceful transfer of power from Democrats to Republicans ended over 50 years ago.

Armitage was free but Scooty Libby went to prison.

Witch hunts aren’t about the crime.

To continue this charade after the comey hearing - is now straight up, in your face SEDITION.

Time for Sessions to say so.

SEDITION:
noun
1.
incitement of discontent or rebellion against a government.
2.
any action, especially in speech or writing, promoting such discontent or rebellion.
Synonym Study
1. See treason.

The media and the politicians still beating what they KNOW is false need to be brought up on sedition charges.

-- Why did Attorney General Sessions recuse himself from the Russia investigation? --

He didn't. He recsed himself from investigation and prosecution of Trump campaign activities.

-- Why did Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein appoint a special prosecutor for the Russia issue when there were no evidence of a crime? --

To close out the bougus investigations started by Comey, in a way that would withstand criticism from the left.

-- Why did Trump appoint Sessions, a long time Senator as AG? --

Sessions is a stroing US first man, has history as a judge, as a federal prosecutor, and as a Senator. Session, like Trump, was a pariah in swampland.

-- Why did Trump appoint Rod Rosenstein Deputy AG given Rosenstein was a long time fixture in the Department of Justice? --

Likely on Sessions' endorsement. Rosenstein's "Fire Comey" memo is the first salvo in the "Lock her up" war

-- And the real abuse was Obama, Brennan, Lynch. FISA,and the unmasking. Now Lynch already kabashed Hillary investigation. --

Add Comey - point man creating and spreading a narrative. Comey's inner circle (McCabe, Rybicki, Baker) is as dirty as he is.

The Democrats did this to Bush 43 as well. They continued investigating the outing of Valerie Plame for months after they knew who leaked her name. In the end catching Scooter Libby in a perjury trap.

I never understood why Bush didn’t pardon Libby. It seems he was caught up and never was the guilty party. Bad Bush.

“Trump needs to fire Mueller!”

And all of the other 0bama-Clinton sympathizers.

The entire Plame fisaco, especially naming a Special Prosecutor (Comey gave Fitzgerald carte blanche - unheard of, unprecedented), I lay at GWB's feet. He was protecting his buddies at the CIA.

Scooter shouldn't have lied, but he no doubt figured he'd get away with it, and he was afraid any admission of a leak from the WH would have been politically damaging.

Bush should have outed Plame himself, or ordered the CIA to confirm she wasn't NOC - end of distraction.

The way Rosenstein’s authorization letter reads, Mueller is supposed to investigate any links between Russia and the President Trump campaign. Then it says he can investigate anything else arising from that that he feels like. And he’s authorized to prosecute.

So if he finds Jimmy the campaign janitor had complaints, he can investigate health codes.

You could drive a truck through this letter it is so wide open.

It’s Stalinist.

The old quote from the head of the NKVD (Beria) — “Show me the man, and I’ll show you the crime.”

It just means: We can “get” anyone at any time. Just show me your enemy and give me a little time, and I’ll find a way to get him.

This is what needs to happen. Republicans need to rise up and end this charade. Don’t let Trump stand alone!

This seems more like an effort to prosecute Donald Trump

That's because it IS an effort to prosecute/persecute Donald Trump.

There is nothing to investigate. Like the article I wrote the other day, you better find something or you're toast. We have had all of this we're going to take. It's just like a high school...if the students realize they have the numbers, the administration loses complete control.
