Robert Mueller's Russia investigation team loses 2nd FBI veteran
ABC News ^ | Sep 28, 2017 | Mike Levine Pierre Thomas

Posted on 09/29/2017 10:09:10 AM PDT by detective

Special counsel Robert Mueller has now lost a second official that he brought in from the FBI to help investigate Russia’s alleged meddling in last year’s presidential election, ABC News has learned.

The latest FBI veteran to leave, Lisa Page, was described by media accounts in June as a trial attorney with “deep experience [in] money laundering and organized crime cases.” She was part of what Wired magazine called Mueller’s “investigatory dream team.”

But weeks ago, Page left the Special Counsel’s office and returned to work in the office of the FBI’s general counsel, sources said. According to one source, Page joined Mueller’s team on a short, temporary assignment and always expected to return as soon as that assignment ended.

“Second FBI member of Mueller’s “dream team” quits. “

Kinda like sending illegals back across the border. Time is not far off when Mueller will be “repatriated” to back under the rock from under which he crawled.

No one has been arrested for breaking into Paul Manafort's house and scaring the excrement out of he and his wife as they slept in their bed.

A lot of legal careers were made over Watergate, if there was anything in this investigation, nobody would be walking away. I'm guessing they already cleared Trump and are now just trying to find a couple “process violations” to throw at Manafort and Flynn so they can get their “pound of flesh” and justify wasting millions of dollars.

How long before the Democrats start claiming that Trump is inducing them to quit?

How long before Mueller starts demanding to see Trump Administration documents related to why these people are quitting, and claiming that it may be “obstruction of justice?”

This removal/defection of top FBI investigators shows that the best people with the “investigation” are discovering there’s no “there” there. If there were, they’d be going for PDJT like rabid Pit Bulls.

Hopefully Lisa saw that this was a farce with nothing to investigate and didn’t want to be tainted as a circus player.

Probably really big money. The lawyers are all high priced.

At this stage I’d say most of the high priced Mueller cronies are not doing anything but raking in the money.

Leftist Nazi librarian deciding what students can or cannot read and banning books that she doesn’t like.

Or banning books for political purposes.

Isn’t that outside the responsibility and authority of her job?

Who is she to ban a gift to the school and the town because the gift giver isn’t one of her political favorites?
