Swamp Fights Back: Mueller Hires Clinton Foundation Lawyer for Russia Probe

Mueller should be fired...it was a set up from git-go! That’s why Comey released his memo, to get a special counsel, he said so! Rosenstein may not be as neutral as he claims, and with last Dem appointee, it’s obviously a witch hunt to get Trump out!

Never mind my previous question. . Mueller has hired Rhee...and strangely enough, Graham objects.

In other words, Spicer knows what really is about to happen and doesn’t want to go on record as saying the opposite.

Ruddy, meanwhile, is not an ally. He repudiated the “fact” that he met with DT, saying he never said that (even though he did).

[Conservative Gato]

...and Ruddy now comes out and backtracks, says he never even talked to Trump.

Interesting, this all could end up being a preemptive strike, out of fear, hoping President Trump would not fire Mueller or as a warning not to. The DC swamp and its media understands they need Mueller in there to help stop President Trump's pro-American agenda.

President Trump should give them what they fear, fire Mueller and end this nonsense.

I respect Jim Noble’s opinions. He thinks Mueller and Rosenstein have to be fired.

The down side to that is there will be a hell of an uproar if it happens.

I really don’t have an opinion as to what is best. The only thing I am adamant about is that Trump should stop talking and let his lawyers do their job until this gets resolved.

Ari Fleischer is right. Trump is not vindicated until Mueller vindicates him. Until then, STOP TALKING. Perjury traps await . That is what they are looking for as the investigation continues.....

[BeauBo]

Maybe Ruddy was just supposed to just float the idea out there - not attribute it to the President.

[RummyChick]

IMO, you are mixing a lot of things up. Can you provide links.

For example, Ruddy did NOT say that he met with trump in this interview
http://www.cnn.com/2017/06/12/politics/ruddy-robert-mueller-white-house/index.html

It has been confirmed that he was at the WH but Ruddy did not say he met with Trump

He says here he thinks it is clear based on what the lawyer said
http://www.cnn.com/2017/06/13/politics/chris-ruddy-bob-mueller-trump/index.html

I don’t see Ruddy backtracking anything he said. I don’t know why you are claiming it to be the case. Do you have links?

Maybe he is backtracking and I have not seen the story. So I would like to see the link

[RummyChick]

There is a chance you are right.

He didn’t say Trump said it.

He said “I think”

He referenced Trump’s lawyer.

He didn’t claim to have met with Trump.

He may have been used as a trial balloon.

Mueller should be fired...it was a set up from git-go!

Lets look at the timeline:
April 25- Rosenstein confirmed
May 9 - Rosensteins memo to Trump on why Comey should be fired is written
May 9 - Comey fired
May 16 -Comey memo leaked ( which prompted the appointment of a special council )
May 17 - Special Council appointed

Now according to 28 CFR 600.3 which states that "(b) The Attorney General shall consult with the Assistant Attorney General for Administration to ensure an appropriate method of appointment, and to ensure that a Special Counsel undergoes an appropriate background investigation and a detailed review of ethics and conflicts of interest issues.

So we are to believe that the selection of a prosecutor,a background investigation, and a detailed review of ethics and conflicts of interest was all done in one day and that they found no conflict of interest between Comey and Mueller when Comey is definitely a witness ( and now a potential target ) ?Now you know this must have been decided weeks prior, since they already had Mueller chosen and ready to go. Now besides Comey being close friends with Mueller, we have Rosenstein who from 1990 to 1993, prosecuted public corruption cases as a trial attorney with the Public Integrity Section of the Criminal Division, then led by Assistant Attorney General Mueller. This sounds like a setup to get Mueller in place. On another note, we have Holder appointing Rosenstein to prosecute General James Cartwright, a former Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, for leaking to reporters. Will Rosenstein now go after Comey for doing the same thing ? If not, it will be telling.

I understand where you are coming from but no matter what President Trump does, the left will manufacture some kind of uproar. This is all manufactured so that it derails President Trump and the American people's agenda.

If President Trump does fire these people, he needs to go over the DC swamp and media's head by holding an evening TV address to the American people to explain the facts, explain all this is about derailing what is best for America and Americans, and put this disruptive nonsense to bed once and for all.

President Reagan went directly to the American people and so should President Trump when it comes to all this fake obstruction.

The down side to that is there will be a hell of an uproar if it happens.There will be a hell of a uproar from the media, the Democrats and Republicans regardless of what happens. They are after President Trump for everything he does do and everything he does not do. I really don’t have an opinion as to what is best. The only thing I am adamant about is that Trump should stop talking and let his lawyers do their job until this gets resolved. No comment on that. Ari Fleischer is right. Trump is not vindicated until Mueller vindicates him. Muller will never vindicate President Trump. He was not put in his position to vindicate President Trump. This whole process is to get, by hook or crook President Trump. Then they will go after Vice President Pence. Then they will go after the next one until they have gotten all those the people elected in 2016. Anyone who believes that they are only interested in learning the truth is only deluding themselves. They are working a coup. The main stream media wants him gone, The Democrat Party wants him gone, The Republican Party wants him replaced with Hillary Clinton. Wall Street wants him gone. The parasites and traitors along with America haters want him gone. Only those that voted for him want him to remain.

[RummyChick]

You have a very valid point

At this juncture, it is all going to be an uproar.

Frankly, he should do what is in his best interests as per his outside counsel... if they can figure that out..and let the fur fly if need be...

[JudgemAll]

It never is a conflict of interest when it is liberals doing it, it is business as usual according to Napolitano

[RayChuang88]

And Mueller will be fired because of that.
