I want to know what the feckless SOB has to say about the fact that the very appointment of Bob “Mr. Clean” Mueller, “The First Witch Hunter” (apologies to Vin Diesel) clearly violates the special counsel statute on multiple levels. The fact that he has “convened” a grand jury - one of the most dangerous tools available to the US legal system - in DC is a very non-trivial matter. Moreover, I’d like to know precisely who advised Trump to appoint Rod Rosenstein (DAG) and H.R. McMaster and who “encouraged” Sessions to recuse himself from the “Russia, Russia, Russia” B.S. so quickly.
My money’s on Mike Pence. Given that none other than Pence has been conducting his own fundraising and shadow campaign and having private meetings with House and Senate members, not to mention the fact that he dispatched one of the earliest and most fervent Trump supporters and one of the first appointed - Mike Flynn - to usher McMaster in as NSA, who is now systematically purging the NSC of Trump supporters. (WTF?) Keep in mind that Flynn was a staunch opponent of the Iran deal - which McMaster fully supports - and believed that the US could woo Russia away from Iran by softening sanctions. (I have known Mike Flynn for 24 years.) As more and more details emerge, I’m more and more convinced that Pence is not on our side, McMaster is the defacto commanding general of the deep state, Rosentein is the consigliere for the deep state and Sessions is the crazy old uncle sitting in the lawn chair muttering unintelligibly.
I just wonder what the hell Trump is thinking and how he let all of these foxes in the hen house if he’s so damned smart. Yeah, I know I’ll get flamed, but can any of you honestly say that any of the aforementioned people - with the exception of Mike Flynn - is actually working on behalf of the president’s agenda?
He convened a grand jury on the same day that the Senate blocked any recess appointments.
That tells one all that is needed. It’s coup time.
