Mueller Prepares Comey, McCabe To Testify AGAINST POTUS
thegatewaypundit ^ | Joshua Caplan

Posted on 08/03/2017 7:48:45 AM PDT by davikkm

Special Counsel Robert Mueller is leading one of the biggest witch hunts in American political history.

According to a new report by VOX, the witch hunt just got worse, as Mueller has notified former FBI Head James Comey and former Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe that they should be prepared to testify against President Trump.

VOX reports:

Shortly after the appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller in May, Acting Director of the FBI Andrew McCabe told several of the highest-ranking managers of the bureau they should consider themselves possible witnesses in any investigation into whether President Donald Trump engaged in obstruction of justice, according to two senior federal law enforcement officials.

McCabe has told colleagues that he too is a potential witness in the probe of whether Trump broke the law by trying to thwart the FBI’s Russia investigation and the investigation into whether the Trump campaign colluded with the Russian government to defeat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election.

Two senior federal law enforcement officials have told me that the new revelations illustrate why they believe the potential case against Trump is stronger than outsiders have thought.

“What you are going to have is the potential for a powerful obstruction case,” a senior law enforcement official said. “You are going to have the [former] FBI director testify, and then the acting director, the chief of staff to the FBI director, the FBI’s general counsel, and then others, one right after another. This has never been the word of Trump against what [James Comey] has had to say. This is more like the Federal Bureau of Investigation versus Donald Trump.”

Only criminal foreign bribes are those paid to Clinton Foundation.

Pretty obvious pay to play was going on with Clinton.

into whether President Donald Trump engaged in obstruction of justice

Assuming all this is true, it's no longer about Russia.
If there is no "there" there regarding Russia, why would there be obstruction of justice ?
Somebody is going to get "Libby'd"

I’d take this with a grain of salt. Not being reported in the MSM anywhere and Comey already gave a very long testimony to congress.

While I have not taken the time to research the idea, my thought is that once any of this gets into a Court, the most effective response might be to seek a Writ of Prohibition in the Supreme Court, based on the manifest irregularities in the investigation. I wonder what others might think of the idea, before I go further with it.

Mueller Colludes to Prepares Comey, McCabe To Testify AGAINST Trump. Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe told several high-ranking managers they are possible witnesses in Mueller's investigation into obstruction of justice....according to two senior federal L/E officials.

Call President Trump: Comments: 202-456-1111 Switchboard: 202-456-1414

TALKING POINTS---Trump should embargo Comey's testimony before Congress on grounds of ntl security......(prevents Comey from talking/writing about it).

Ditto for FBI managers.

Given how compromised the reputation of the FBI is at this point (thanks largely to Mr. Comey’s mishandling of the Clinton email investigation (in collusion with McCabe)and the bungled Russia investigation), the FBI against Trump in an investigation lead by Mueller may not be enough.

By the way, I am not a Trump Kool-aid drinker. I don’t like Mr. Trump. I still think he is unqualified by either experience or temperament to be President. I voted for him because that was the only way to effectively vote against Clinton. (Didn’t matter, I live in Virginia.). I resent both the GOP and Democratic Party for having such poor control over the selection of their candidates that they put me and the American people in the position of choosing between these two.

I just hate smarmy SOB weasels (like Comey) more.

For far to long these people, Mueller, Comey, Clintons, Obamas, Lynch, Huma, Schumer, Piglosi, Di-Fi, McCain, Ms. Linda, and the whole group have had their way and now is the time we shut them down...

They have all been working for a New World Order, Globalism, Sharia Law, open borders, one big happy family: THEIR WAY...not the American Way...

WE, millions of us went to the polls in November and voted for the person to help us AMERICANS to bring back OUR country, and that is what Our President is doing...working 20 hours a day trying to get jobs back, to get our economy running again, to help Our Veterans receive help that they incurred while fighting for OUR FREEDOMS...and this mess of idiots want their own pockets lined and to hell with us, there was no ‘middle class’ until Our President took over...there were no jobs for us until Our President took over...Our Law Enforcement was dirt in the gutters until Our President took over...

I think it's time folks to rid OUR COUNTRY of snakes, crooks, liars and thieves and support Our President by the ballot boxes, by standing up to anyone who is not behind the agenda of MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!

I for one of many millions of people worked long and hard, many, many hours to promote this man to lead Our Country and I don't intend on letting some ‘hog monster’ take that away from me, my family, my grandchildren, and as many breaths I have left in me, by the Good Lord Above I will fight to the bitter end!!!

Anyone with connections to the Trump Administration, please ask when these traitors are going to be outed and sent to prison?

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY) who is micromanaging the Trump/Russia collusion issue, asserted that, "After Trump fired FBI Comey over Russia-gate an atmosphere of fear has gripped the nation."

===================================================

MUELLER MUST SUBPOENA SENATOR SCHUMER---
SCHUMER HAS INTIMATE POLITICAL CONNECTIONS TO RUSSIA---
Russian nationals are his constituents. Did Russian citizens (many here illegally) vote for Sen Schumer?

(HAT TIP WIKI) The collapse of the Soviet Union and the subsequent significant changes there led many Russian citizens to immigrate to the United States. Many of the Soviet immigrants of the late 1980s and the 1990s primarily speak Russian......they live in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, NY. So many Russian citizens immigrated to Brighton Beach that the area became known as "Little Odessa."

In the early 2000s," Oceana," a high-income ocean-front condominium complex, was constructed. Oceana has become the destination of wealthy businessmen, entertainers, and senior govt officials from the former Soviet Union.

A Russian-speaking theater near the waterfront,features performances by actors from Russia, and other countries.

Sen Schumer's district, Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, NY, is considered a hot spot for the "Russian Mafia." In the 1970s, the most notorious leg of the Russian mafia served as a robbery gang for larger Russian crime syndicates in New York City. A crime boss from Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, NY denies having any connection to the Russian-speaking Mafia residing in Sen Schumer's district.

The major Russian criminal element in Sen Schumer's district---Brighton Beach---was the international Russian mafia group, known as vor v zakone or "vory," and the first vory crime boss in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, was Evsei Agron, who controlled the area's crime during the 70s and 80s until his death in 1985.

After the fall of the Soviet Union in the 90s, many ethnic Russian criminals illegally entered the United States, coming primarily to Sen Schumer's district---Brighton Beach, Brooklyn.

===============================================

Prior to his election to the US Senate, Sen Schumer represented:

<><> the Ninth Congressional District in Brooklyn and Queens for eighteen years.

<><> earlier Schumer represented the Forty-Fifth Assembly District in Brooklyn for six years.

Schumer's Congressional District and his Assembly district saw great waves of Russian citizens move into the area.....represented by Sen Schumer, and, earlier by Cong/Assemblyman Schumer.

All of this sucks the life out of this Administration and ultimately the country all by design. I agree with the assessment that they are playing the get Nixon playbook. They are so delusional that I think they think President Trump will eventually resign. How it all got to this is depressing: The left plays to win at all costs and games the system and our side acts pacified. If this were Chess,I would be worried.

Cormey made clear in his testimony before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence on March 20, 2017, the investigation was a counterintelligence investigation, not a criminal investigation.

Rosenstein's authorization to Mueller quotes Comey, "The Special Counsel is authorized to conduct the investigation confirmed by then-FBI Director James B. Corney in testimony before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence on March 20, 2017..." https://www.justice.gov/opa/press-release/file/967231/download

28 CFR 600.1 governs special-counsel appointments by the Justice Department. The relevant part: The Attorney General, or in cases in which the Attorney General is recused, the Acting Attorney General, will appoint a Special Counsel when he or she determines that criminal investigation of a person or matter is warranted (emphasis added)

A special counsel is not to be appointed unless and until it is determined that there are grounds for a criminal investigation. Only if that is established does the Justice Department move on to the question whether there is a conflict of interest which requires appointment of a special council.

So - Rosenstein's appointment of Mueller was and is improper.


Also noteworthy is 28 CFR 45.2, titled, “Disqualification arising from personal or political relationship.” The relevant part states: No employee shall participate in a criminal investigation or prosecution if he has a personal or political relationship with: (1) Any person or organization substantially involved in the conduct that is the subject of the investigation or prosecution... (emphasis added).

Sessions need not have recused himself, there was no criminal investigation.


Read this article: http://www.nationalreview.com/article/449849/sessions-trump-following-federal-regulations-could-have-avoided-mess which I've paraphrased here.

Anyone who isn’t expecting articles of impeachment over this manufactured crisis has their head in the sand.
They are going to take our President away because...well, because they can.

This has carefully planned and coordinated.

Recall that Rosenstein recommended Comey be fired. Recall also that Comey testified that his intention was to leak so that a special council would be created.

The Russia Narrative was losing steam and they needed to create an ongoing aura of wrongdoing. Comey could not appoint a special council, Rosenstein could. Getting Comey fired would feed the “obstruction” sub-narrative of the Russia Narrative and would create the optics needed to bull through the appointment of a special council.

It worked.

Rosenstein picked Mueller, with whom Comey has coordinated his Congressional testimony.

The history of these three together*, the blatant collusion of Mueller and Comey, the improper appointment of a special council, Mueller’s investigation of things far outside the scope of Rosenstein’s improperly created special council, Mueller staffing up with Democrat bundlers and Clinton Foundation lawyers....

This is disgusting. Mueller and Rosenstein have ZERO credibility.
