Special counsel is investigating Trump for possible obstruction of justice, officials say

The special counsel overseeing the investigation into Russia’s role in the 2016 election is interviewing senior intelligence officials as part of a widening probe that now includes an examination of whether President Trump attempted to obstruct justice, officials said.

The move by Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III to investigate Trump’s own conduct marks a major turning point in the nearly year-old FBI investigation, which until recently focused on Russian meddling during the presidential campaign and on whether there was any coordination between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin. Investigators have also been looking for any evidence of possible financial crimes among Trump associates, officials said.

Well, so much for no leaks from the Special Council.

We don't know if the leaks came from the special counsel. We don't even know if it is a real leak. Maybe it's disinformation from one of WaPo's spies, or WaPo made it up.

“No need to fire Mueller. He will find nothing. There is nothing to find.”

As the NSA Wikileak files have shown, the deep state can manufacture and plant evidence to screw over innocent people.

This is my worry.

unnamed officials.

Washington Post makes these assertions with no PROOF. None.

-- ONLY Rosenstein can fire Meuller. --

Technically false, but on a practical/political plane, I agree totally.

Also technically true, Russia could nuke Washington, DC next week.

fire them all and offer their job back when they bring the names to Trump or to his personal lawyers.

If you listen to hannity show, Sarah Carter has done a wonderful job finding the snakes... but they are the only ones reporting it. Even Tucker was agreeing with some of his guests that they still have to investigate Trump..

“Preet said there is a case “

Sure. Not surprised. His ties to Comey are well known. Plus, he is a Clinton donor.

Makes sense.

This news piece is, like ALL of them, blown out of proportion ny the press. Yesterday Trump was going to can Mueller. False, but preoccupied the press near full time for the day.

Part of the ebb and flow of a coup. Things haven't really gotten serious yet. The subversives are on the offensive, to be expected.

Its never going to stop until Trump is impeached

It's never going to stop until they TRY to impeach Trump.

Then, they're going to find out how mad we really are.

"If they attempt to remove Trump from office on a BS obstruction charge, there will be blood in the streets."

And there will need to be. Trump needs his base to turn out in millions with torches and pitchforks in DC or the deep state along with the Uniparty are going to kill his administration with a thousand cuts. Trump was really a third party candidate and the GOP is not defending him with remotely the ferocity the Dems are attacking; plus Paul Ryan puts the knife in whenever he can. Only Trump's base who voted him in can stand against this slow rolling coup.

Sadly, Sessions played by Queensbury rules. It may work in the Senate, but not against Deep State.

New FBI Directoir hasn’t been nominated yet, I don’t think. All we have is “intend to nominate.”

Add JAMES COMEY.

Along with his “friend”.

Preet said there is a case . I have a bad feeling that if trump doesnt get rid of mueller..we are going to see preet getting hired in some way. He was at comeys hearing

Preet was The Three Monkeys during the Zerobama administration.

An avalanche of criminality - yet he heard, saw and spoke no evil of the criminals.

This time, their "invented law" is not going to stand.

It’s either fake or a leak. If it’s a leak, the only sources are Rosenstein and Camp Mueller, and I can picture Camp Mueller keeping Rosenstein out of the loop - after all, Camp Mueller is independent.

What was the crime?

Beating the Democrats, the Media and the Deep State in an election.

They'll invent charges as needed - #FakeLaw.

This is a coup attempt by Meuler, the deep state, the media and democrat party.

Sure but they could not have done it without the full support of GOP leadership support.

We really have no clue how many Republicans are are deep government. Anyone not suspicious of Sessions recusal that allowed his chosen second in command to appoint a special council is too trusting. How would this have gone any different if the Democrats had the majority?
