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.”

Robert Mueller’s hatred of Trump and the middle class Americans who elected him will be the downfall of the democrat party... So, it’s not all bad...

I don’t know why Mueller got to meet with Comey before his testimony without having someone from Justice to sit in on it or without a transcript. Trump should have ordered that. Even if you accept that they can have a special counsel on a non-existent crime, which I don’t, that doesn’t mean the President doesn’t get to tell them not to preserve evidence.

If they succeed, our votes have no meaning and we are forced to live in a dictatorship.

And then, we're going to have to vote directly, bypassing the obsolete mechanisms for registering our votes...

Sessions is the entire reason that Trump may be kicked out of office a s a result of this witch hunt. WTH is the matter with him and Trump for thinking he’d be a good AG. Lazy ass do nothing southern gentlemen is doing nothing but setting Trump up for a major fall.
I’m sick of the so called “good guys”. Besides Trump there aren’t any and whoever is giving him advice is a complete dumbass.

Sessions work is all behind the scenes until something is ready for disposition. Sessions is the man responsible for getting President Trump’s Immigration ordered upheld by the Supreme Court...not once...but twice.

Rosenstein: Brilliant!

Comey: We can do this. We are the Resistance.

As a rule, just remember that any Obama appointee must be inherently corrupt. There’s just no way Obama appoints an FBI Director who has any moral scruples whatsoever.

Mueller is part of Deep State as you know. He will never allow any Deep State actors to be questioned unless it’s entirely scripted and predetermined beforehand.

The key to fighting back is for republicans to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Clinton, Comey, McCabe, Mueller. But that will never happen under Ryan/McConnell because there are too many GOP members that are compromised.

I generally like your posts, but you've got a scent of concern troll in these latest missives.

How about we get down to brass tacks? The fight between citizens and the deep state is going to be resolved, one way or another. Can we agree on this premise as an initial starting point?

Now, how it gets resolved is the big question, the unanswered variable. Do you really think Trump will be impeached on 'trumped' up charges and the deep state resumes its assumption of power without a fight?

Or, does Trump elect to use the nuclear option, ordering the military to arrest the complete edifice, including the entire IC facility that is directing & coordinating the disinformation campaign? Because, after all this is seditious conspiracy, and the oath implies defending the constitution against foreign & domestic enemies.

By doing so, Trump will have crossed the Rubicon, and yet, afterward, the Republic will have been restored. It took decades for the country to recover from CW1, yet history is written by the winners. So who's the hero? Hint: his monument anchors the Mall.

I think the deep state is desperate at this point, because any cursory review of the game theory outcomes will point to this ultimately conclusion being reached. The only question remaining, is does Trump get it? And if so, how strong is his resolve?

I can’t believe that Mueller or another investigator would tell a witness to prepare to do anything but answer the questions truthfully.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — March 2017-—An unoccupied vehicle with Maryland plates was broken into and a bag with a laptop and other items belonging to a Secret Service agent was stolen, sources told CBS2.

The break-in happened in the driveway of the agent’s home in Bath Beach, Brooklyn, sources said.

The laptop contains sensitive information, including Trump Tower floor plans and evacuation protocol as well as information pertaining to Hillary Clinton’s campaign email investigation, sources told CBS2.

There is not believed to be any sensitive information related to the White House on the laptop, sources told CBS2.

You make a good point but Freepers are incensed and easily riled. The Vox incendiary fits the bill to boost the criminal base of the democrat party, to give them ‘hope’ so to speak.

And more importantly, the AWAN story is now AWOL. That is expected and was predicted.

So don’t blame Freepers for being stoked by Vox crap. Rather take note that the democrat criminal leadership and their compliant media have NO INTENTION of considering reform in light of AWAN.
