Trump Delivers A Warning To Mueller
The Daily Caller ^ | 07/19/17 | Alex Pfeiffer

Posted on 07/20/2017 9:31:37 AM PDT by Enlightened1

President Donald Trump told The New York Times Wednesday that it would be improper for special counsel Robert Mueller to investigate his family’s finances in a manner not related to the probe into Russian election interference.

Mueller, a registered Republican, has hired at least seven Democratic donors to join his investigative team, including one attorney who donated roughly $34,000 to federal Democratic candidates.

Trump has previously called this hiring practice “ridiculous,” and was asked by the Times whether he would ever order the Justice Department to fire Mueller. He said he would not do so, but he did say that Mueller would cross a red line by opening a broad investigation into his family’s finances unrelated to the Russia investigation.

“I think that’s a violation. Look, this is about Russia,” Trump said.

“It’s on Rod Rosenstein to do that.”

And there in lies the problem. Rod did not put any limits on what Mueller could investigate. Rush is talking about this now. What Mueller is doing is opposition research for the 2020 election. Mueller can go anywhere with his investigation.

President Trump needs to DEMAND that Sessions appoint a special prosecutor to look into all the dealings of Hillary, Bill, Podesta, the Clinton Foundation, 0bama, Holder, Rice, Samantha Power, Debbie Wasserman Schultz and any other associated people or entities that they see fit. Make sure to mention the Seth Rich assassination, too.

This special prosecutor shall operate under the same wide open rule set as Mueller’s team and shall be staffed ONLY by republicans that have not worked under the 0bama or Clinton regimes.

Call a press conference to announce it and offer pizza to the reporters. That’ll cause a little additional nervousness to those who should be nervous.

Play offence!!! Drain the MFing swamp!

It’s time to drain the entire DOJ!!!!
Everybody needs to be axed from Mueller and Sessions on down.
Wray’s refusal to call a spade a spade during his confirmation hearing was extremely troubling. Moreover, his unanimous approval from the judiciary committee speaks volumes as to his WILLING COLLUSION to abide the insane witch hunt against the very president who appointed him.

And...

Why not just rename it the “Witch Hunt Department” since Mueller’s obviously not interested in justice?

Trump Delivers A Warning To Mueller

Should better deliver a “blue slip” to Mueller.
It is most certainly going to happen sometime, and sooner is much better than later.
Just fire his ass and move on. If Dems don’t like it...F them.

Mueller is a Deep State hack, out to get Trump impeached. The fact he is working in TOTAL SECRECY while on the gov't dole is an outrage.

He should be called to testify in an OPEN HEARING about what he is doing or plans to do. Otherwise, this SHAM investigation must be stopped. NOW.

If Mueller won't testify, HE MUST BE FIRED. NOW.

This has turned into a Hunt for Dirt that can be leaked to the MSM to keep the attack on Trump going and going

but Trump needs to get Sessions to do the firing.

Session is too busy tracking down some 17 year old smoking a doobie on his back porch

Saw a post, on another thread, that suggested Sessions fire Rosenstein.

It’s incredible how President Trump manages to tolerate all this outrage perpetrated against him day after day.
He desperately needs to crack down on this fishing expedition and make many many heads roll asap.
Our great President has enough to deal with in tackling all the legitimate problems on his plate. He doesn’t deserve all this totally unnecessary harassment and distraction.

What has this become, the Imperial Roman Forum?

Only, not all the characters will play their assigned roles.

Donald Trump is very good at playing Improv theater. Everybody else is stuck on Kabuki theater.

That would be my play. Make a public statement that any requests by Mueller not related to the Russian investigation will not be honored....period. I’d have my minions all over the news networks trashing Mueller at the same time.
You gotta fight fire with Fire.

Trump always has a plan and has infinite patience in carrying out his plan and/or watching as things unfold in HIS FAVOR.

He also willingly plays the fool, appearing dumb, disorganized and/or off balance, fooling his enemies until he decides to attack.

I think it may be an ‘Art of War’ strategy, but he plays a game which is invisible to most of us- and most of “them”.

Rod did not put any limits on what Mueller could investigate

Then he abused his authority.

Sessions did not recuse himself from anything except the allegation of someone actively trying to get the Russian government to hack into Clinton's network.

That's IT.

So if Rod the Rat is running an unbounded fishing expedition - did he sign every check, report every donor? - then he went outside the scope of his own authority and Sessions can step in.

Mueller’s presence is absurd.

Sessions recused himself. He should now “un” recuse himself.

If Sessions can’t do that, then resign.

They're IGNORING Trump and it's politics as usual in the swamp.

Trump needs to torpedo the "bull$hit artists" and send a SERIOUS message.

"If things don't change they'll stay the same."

Wouldn't delving into Trump's finances move the investigation outside of Russia, effectively giving Sessions grounds to terminate Mueller?

Sessions did not recuse himself regarding Trum's finance records.
