Mueller Seeks to Talk to Intelligence Officials, Hinting at Inquiry of Trump
NY Times ^ | June 14, 2017 | MICHAEL S. SCHMIDT and MATT APUZZO

Posted on 06/14/2017 9:31:14 PM PDT by Innovative

Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel examining Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election, has requested interviews with three high-ranking current or former intelligence officials, the latest indication that he will investigate whether President Trump obstructed justice, a person briefed on the investigation said on Wednesday.

Mr. Mueller wants to question Dan Coats, the director of national intelligence; Adm. Michael S. Rogers, the head of the National Security Agency; and Richard Ledgett, the former N.S.A. deputy director.

None of the men were involved with Mr. Trump’s campaign. But recent news reports have raised questions about whether Mr. Trump requested their help in trying to get James B. Comey, then the F.B.I. director, to end an investigation into the president’s former national security adviser, Michael T. Flynn. Last week, Mr. Coats and Admiral Rogers declined to answer questions before Congress about the matter.

Mr. Mueller’s office has also asked the N.S.A. for any documents or notes related to the agency’s interactions with the White House as part of the Russia investigation, according to an intelligence official.

Sounds like a fishing expedition just trying to find anything they could use against Trump. And trying to find someone willing to lie to hurt Trump.

Mueller and his ilk are definitely in the domestic enemies category.

New York Times = deep state. This is the deep state trying to poke Trump with a stick to see if he will jump up and bite.

Remember to keep the pressure on Trump until all the stuff about Hillary dies down.

Obama’s “intelligence officials” or AMERICANS who work for one of the intelligence agencies? Mueller is picking up where Comey left off with the destruction of the Trump administration.

How did Trump obstruct justice if there was no ongoing investigation(per JAMES COMEY).

This is just a nightmare.

He has a clear conflict of interest. It’s not should he step down, he has to....and the worthless GOP leadership better have a “come to Jesus moment” & demand him to comply with the law. Getting shot at in the streets of D.C. should give them an idea that it’s time to stand up.

Do these power hungry glory hound political hack “special council” every back off and admit nothing happened? Nope, they keep taking OUR money to find something...anything to nail the big fish.

This has to end and if the Republicans in the house and senate don’t step up to the plate good luck in your “safe” seat come election time.

It is unbelievable. It is The Deep State. They are all pals together. They are all Democrats it seems. Trump may not have done a single thing wrong but if ever someone has put their head in the noose and said “Kick the stool away” this is it.

And it’s quite possible he doesn’t believe any of it and wants to see all this “Hard evidence” that none of the three agencies have been able to provide to anyone. Just saying

Well Gingrich was saying that and I assumed that he had better information than the rest of us.

Apparently not because he’s changed his tune and now points out that Comey and Mueller are long time friends, and Comey played a major role in getting Mueller assigned as special prosecutor. This is a huge conflict of interest.

More likely he wants to review all his recorded emails, phone calls, and text messages the NSA has on him, his wife, his kids, and pals before he can do anything else.
