‘This is a war’: Trump goes on offensive to spread distrust of Mueller investigation
The Washington Times ^ | August 6, 2017 | S.A. Miller

Posted on 08/06/2017 5:05:17 PM PDT by jazusamo

President Trump and his campaign organization are going to war against the Russia investigations, said an official involved in the effort, launching a multipronged public relations offensive to spread distrust of special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe.

Capitol Hill Republicans and Washington legal professionals say Mr. Trump should keep out of the investigation and focus on governing because his protestations keep the story in the media spotlight and make him look defensive.

But the president is determined to confront head on the allegations of Trump campaign collusion with Russia and expose the investigation to be a political hit job. Marshaling opposition from Mr. Trump’s base, the thinking goes, will make it more difficult for Mr. Mueller’s investigation to bring down the Trump presidency.

“This is a war,” said Bruce Levell, a member of the Trump re-election campaign’s advisory board. “Why would we stop talking to the American people? That is the best thing you can do: keep talking to your base. And guess what? The base is growing.”

White House counselor Kellyanne Conway on Sunday blasted the Russian probe as a “conclusion in search of evidence.”

“They’ve come up with nothing,” she said on ABC’s “This Week.” “We’ve been doing this for almost a year now, and what is there to show for it? What has actually metastasized in a way that we can say, ‘Wow, there’s a smoking gun’?”

Mueller is a Weasel, who trained Comey to be a Weasel.

“You can look it up...”

Big “bipartisan” campaign now to bully POTUS into not defending himself against this nonsense.

Not good enough. Stop the Mueller thing entirely. When you allow the communists liberals an inch they will destroy you. Special Counsels should not be allowed.

Of all the people Rosenstein could have chosen as the Special Council, he chooses Comey’s BFF.

What are the odds?

Rosenstein is part of the Swamp....and Sessions just appointed him to investigate the leaks.

Sessions cannot be trusted!

That bastard Rosenstein was recently on a talk show “explaining” Mueller’s “investigation.” No Justice Department individual should be on any talk show. Their job does not include being a patsy for the leftist press. Trump should pass a memorandum prohibiting any dept. official appearing without prior authorization. Shut this crap down.
