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.

This is only inciting the Liberals again...they get their hopes up, then the facts and truth get in they way, then they snap. Like today.

Not unless he lets them. I’ve just seen too much acquiescence from Trump’s side of the equation. way too little fight back. I’d be so angry they’d have to deal with me before they could investigate me.... they see weakness and pounce... where is my fighting Trump?

You remember the tiger that killed his trainer some years ago? They said the trainer hesitated... and the tiger saw it and pounced.

“Tips For Reading Washington Post Stories About Trump Based On Anonymous Leaks”
May 16, 2017
http://thefederalist.com/2017/05/16/tips-for-reading-washington-post-stories-about-trump-based-on-anonymous-leaks/

1.
Washington Post claimed “Rosenstein threatened to resign”

But the “person close to the White House” who made the claim without using his or her name was contradicted by none other than Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein himself. The next day he said, “I’m not quitting” when asked by reporters. “No,” he said to the follow-up question of whether he had threatened to quit.

2.
Washington Post claimed: “FBI Director James B. Comey requested more resources from the Justice Department for his bureau’s investigation into collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government, according to two officials with knowledge of the discussion.”

Anonymous sources again had something very different to say from people whose comments were tied to their names, who all denied the report.

3.
Washington Post claimed: “reports that Comey had requested more funding or other resources for the Russia investigation”

The next day under oath, acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe repeatedly denied that the probe into Russia was undersourced or requiring any additional funds. [and/or other resources]

4.5.6......
Previous Washington Post stories sourced to anonymous “officials” have fallen apart,

Each of these stories were explosive breaking news that served an anti-Trump narrative but later turned out to be false.

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

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.

Time to fire Mueller and Rosenstein.

I don’t care how loud the democrats / liberals / progressives / communists media scream.

Ryan and McConnell better get their act together asap.

This charade has gone on long enough.

After today’s events, CWII is in the realm of possibilities.

They need to put this out there so Trump won’t shut down the investigation.

I doubt it will help Mueller. Trump will still fire his butt.

And those wimps in Congress are not going to impeach Trump if and when he does.

Hearst started the Spanish-American war. I guess that shit-bird Bezos is angling for Civil War. If they keep this up that is exactly what they should get.

The nation is already divided enough. Hillary skates free along with Lynch, Bill, Pedesta and obunghole while they go on a witch hunt for Trump.

This is what we have... there is no justice dept...no judge.. no one who would be someone Trump could trust to do anything they are now doing. It’s all aimed at Trump. Now, Trump is the President of the United States.. will his private attorney.. or his sons... or his wife... please tell Trump to FIRE the whole lot of them. When he does that, I’ll know he’s serious about winning this thing! He can’t continue letting the fox eat the chickens on the farm...

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

The nature of inspectors, investigators and prosecutors is to find something. Anything. Mueller will not stop until he does the Left's bidding. He's one of them.

He's in the catbird seat. He has control of the ball. He will not wrap this thing up without nailing some people.

By definition and by the mere nature of the beast, he is charged to find wrongdoing. And he will deliver, count on it.

My gut says the president should have acted against this and over-ruled Rosenstein at the outset. They’re all swamp creatures. He should know that.

Mueller should recuse himself or Trump should recall him.

He’s got only a narrow window left.

They will ask about OTHER fake obstructions than just the “hope” deal with Flynn.

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

Exactly.

The left does not know that... isn’t it time they knew we are sick of this!? Sessions could have said that yesterday. I’d bet there were millions watching that hearing.
