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.

Ed Rawlins wants Sessions to resign. His thinking, Session lost control of the DOJ. If there is another AG, Mueller can be fired.

Investigating nothing. A big steaming pile of nothing.

Short of an actual American Nuremburg trial, that second option might be the only way this swamp gets drained.

I’m losing patience.

Hey Martha . . . did I ever explain to you why I hate lawyers?

No, President Trump . . . you are not guilty of the crime.

You are guilty of saying "I Hope." "I Hope" was said to a prisssy boy,an effeminated Comey who wrote down his "feelings" in his diary.

So let me get this correct. The FBI Director writes his "feelings" in a diary. No legal memo. And a special counsel is appointed?

Only in America

Time we as citizens start pushing back harder

If it’s a leak, the only sources are Rosenstein and Camp Mueller

or somebody in the intelligence community who listened in or hacked the special counsel. They are not normally allowed to do that, but who knows. They ain't supposed to leak either. I could guess which possibility is true, but I don't have any insight to guide me.

Seems like there is only one party in Congress and the Senate......the anti Trump party.

At least President Trump didn’t delete 30,000 incriminating emails, after being directed to save them.

It will back fire right in Hillary and Mueller’s faces. The more partisan the better.

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.

Indeed! Good point!

Why is Trump not going after all the corrupt people?
He is being walked all over and just does nothing like George Bush.

-- Christopher Wray was nominated by Trump last Wednesday. --

Nope. Just an announcement that he intended to. "Trump posted the announcement on Twitter." There isn't even a formal "Intend to Nominate" announcement oin the WH Nominations and Appointments page.

here we are with an investigation on Trump for doing nothing but winning the election

Well about three or four months into Obama's first term, he got a Nobel Prize for doing nothing. Just goes to show the wildly disparate standards to which the Left and Right are held by globalists.

Think about football...’the best defense is a great offense’, that is where Dems are going. Attack who you want to get rid of, by using what Dems are actually doing! Because all candidates and future political employees talk to ambassadors like Russia...this was used to start the whole thing!

Ordinary Citizens do not always understand how those relationships develop from elections, and with WikiLeaks posting Clinton & Podesta e mails...it was a natural way to divert attention from their real crimes!

I think Mueller and Comey are testing waters, and even watching FR and other Conservative sites to see how easy it would be to get rid of Trump. The new Dem attorney was involved in Enron scandal, and two of his witch hunt cases had guilty verdicts overturned by SC. So if Trump were found guilty and impeached, even if it ever went to SC and he was found innocent...too late to reverse Impeachment!

NEVER TRUST AN INTEL DEMOCRAT, WHO THINKS THEY CAN DO WHATEVER THEY WANT! ESPECIALLY WHEN OBAMA AND HILLARY ARE BACKING THEM UP, AND RINOS! DON’T FORGET SOROS MONEY!

I do NOT know if this is case, but it looks like a set up to me! DJT talked out of FIRING Mueller, let’s hope GOD and WikiLeaks get the truth out in open!
