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.

They are trying to run out the clock on DEMOCRAT crimes.

Only if the GOP help them.

Trump should operate as if the story is true for his protection. Look at the team mueller is putting together. High chance the story is true. Ari Fleischer warned him to stop talking.

If they "get" President Trump, they'll use the government to get a list of the real names of the posters at Free Republic.

You and I are on the hook, too.

You might want to think about that. :)

I agree.

Trump should fire him NOW. WHO THE #### HIRED HIM?!?!?!

the Wa post and NY Times and CNN should understand there will be TERRIBLE consequence if they succeed in ousting Trump.

For the entire country.

They are fomenting a civil war.

They really need to get the ball rolling in regards to nominating and confirming the new FBI director.

The acting director, McCabe, shocked some FBI agents in January by telling them, “I hate Trump!”

That SOB needs to go!

Why Sessions fault?

By recusing himself from the Russian election fraud he allowed his second in command to appoint Comey's mentor and long time friend to be appointed as special council. I think they fired Comey to bring their plan into full bloom. Sessions could be complicit or naive but the result is the same.

So WTH is this Administration doing about it?! Are they just resigned to actually let the left pull this coup off and let Clinton and Obama skate?! The treasonous DOJ and FBI will see to it that the Administration implodes. It’s MADDENING!!!

Comey’s inner circle is dirty. McCabe, Rybicki and Baker.

ONLY Rosenstein can fire Meuller.

Not true Onyx, but it would be more acceptable if he did. Problem is I think he worked really hard to get Mueller into that position, he is part of the deep state in my opinion.

I take back what I said about limited leak sources. Mueller met with the Senate Intell Committee today. Warner could be a leaker too. I don’t know which other DEMs were in on the meting.

I'm just telling you what's coming.

If Hillary had won, it would be just moderately annoying having to keep under their radar around here on FR, even though Boss Pantsuit has a history with us.

If they remove Trump, they're going to be out for blood.

I hang out on Twitter. There's thousands upon thousands of rabid Lefty mouthbreathers that don't even have a passing acquaintance with Rational Thought on Twit.

They want us dead. Many were not abashed in the slightest at today's shootings in Alexandria. "Karma", "They had it coming", etc.

There must be somebody who can go in there and clean it out. Guliani, even Christie (gag), someone who will purge and prosecute the traitors.

I feel like patriots have been praying and working for years now, we finally have our Leader, and STILL we aren’t seeing the SEVERE action that must be taken if the swamp is truly to be purged.

I keep asking myself, why would God bother to put Trump in, only to see the lack of purging action that needs to occur ASAP. I don’t know.

Yes listening now.

MAERSK Memphis about 4 miles out of Charleston, SC. Could be headed to Norfolk.

MAERSK Memphis was also in Pakistan in May and could have loaded a dirty bomb.

MAERSK is a worldwide shipping line, also barges of inland waterways.

Dirty bombs have ranges of several city blocks with radiation toxic effects lasting for many months.

WaPo, CNN, NYtimes, and the rest of the old media empire are hateful, race-pimping sites. Why are they allowed posting rights on free republic?

Does he do anything? Seriously, what has he done to like?

Apparently, he's asking Congress to release the funds allowing him to go after pot smokers in Colorado.
