Washington examiner ^ | 7/1/17 | Daniel Chaitin

Posted on 07/02/2017 10:55:16 AM PDT by ColdOne

Special counselor Robert Mueller added a top New York prosecutor to his team investigating Russian meddling in the 2016 election who also happened to be an official who worked for fired U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Goldstein of the Southern District of New York has been selected to join the probe, according to multiple reports late Friday.

It’s not Preet, it’s someone who worked in his office

How can he do that. Bharara clearly has an axe to grind with President Tump, so how can he be unbiased in his work? He might as well hire Comey and Lynch while he’s at it.

With all these questionable hirings, it makes you wonder if the goal of the Special Counselor is to force Trump to fire him, so they can go after him for that.

Also this article about phone calls he was concerned about:

Preet Bharara emailed DOJ about phone call from Trump: report

This is some Bull $hit!

Yep, the one and only time he represented his office in court, he lost.

Another one of the usual suspects added to the Mueller and Comey lynch mob. This is some sick sh*t. It’s disgraceful that they are forcing the U.S. taxpayers to pay for this BS.

The enemy Mueller added another enemy to the “Get Rid of Trump at any Cost” legal team.

Dare I say this whole special counsel thing was totally unnecessary, readily preventable and is now possibly getting out of control? What next, the dems running DOJ? Oh, wait, . . . . . !

Government officials who attempt a coup are rightly regarded as Domestic Enemies.

"It’s not Preet, it’s someone who worked in his office"

Just realized that. Here's a link that actually goes to an article about this:

Special counselor adds (a) former Preet Bharara prosecutor to Russia probe: Reports

What do we know about Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Goldstein of the Southern District of New York?

Trump could stop this instantly, with zero political damage:

(1) Issue a blanket pardon for any person being investigated by Special Prosecutor Mueller.

(2) Order Attorney General Sessions to publicly release 100% of the evidence on the Russia Investigation.

No crimes were committed by the Trump campaign organization.

The election “hack” was a prank pulled off by a half dozen Russian college students.

And the Democratic Party and the Main Stream Media will go completely berserk!

Trump was probably waiting for this before firing Mueller. Mueller is TOAST now.

True that DJT can’t fire the special prosecutor.
However, he CAN fire the acting AG, and appoint one who will fire the special prosecutor.
Would that look like politics in play? You betcha!

Not a damn bit more political than the current activity in this sham ‘investigation’.

Jefferson was right about the tree of liberty...

Mueller did not hire Preet Bharara.

Mueller hired one of the prosecutors who worked for Bharara.

Congress did not appoint Mueller. It was Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein. I’m sure that’s why Trump is reportedly still pissed that AG Sessions recused himself from the Russia investigation.

>why have our enemies been able to pull this off?

Because Jeff Sessions is a spineless idiot who recused himself because the media threw a hissyfit.
