Trump team wants second special prosecutor to probe Russia investigators (shoe drop?)
NY Daily News ^ | 12/12/17 | C. Brennan

President Trump’s team wants to add another shell to the Russian-doll of the election meddling probe by appointing a second special counsel to investigate investigators.

Jay Sekulow, part of Trump’s legal team, told Axios Tuesday that connections of a demoted Justice Department official mandated a new layer of oversight.

His statement comes after a Fox News report that Bruce Ohr, demoted last week for meetings with research firm Fusion GPS, is married to someone paid by the company for work last year.

"The Department of Justice and FBI cannot ignore the multiple problems that have been created by these obvious conflicts of interests. These new revelations require the appointment of a Special Counsel to investigate,” Sekulow said.

And what employer would hire someone stuck with possibly years of hearings and testimony?

The Gang that couldn’t shoot straight! Funny!

Sadly for them they have been able to move around with zero resistance and have built up the view that they cannot be defeated......this is what makes their actions so stupidly stupid.....they have complete confidence

Until now.

Trump has the courage to pull back the curtain on their Evil Elf Factory

Time for my annual contribution to ACLJ, just mailed JW’s.

May God continue to bless President Trump’s and Jay Sekulo’s actions.

" If Mueller is running a smear operation, then expose it..."

By all means. But if you can't trust the new counsel, then how can you trust him to do the right thing? How many times have we been told that this one or that one is a "standup guy", has a good reputation and will be even handed, only to end up with the likes of Comey, Mueller et al.

You can dip your pail into the swamp all day long, and all you'll ever come up with is swamp water.

The result would be the same either way.

I like it. The deep state will try to illegally do whatever it wants unless the know someone is watching and they might go to jail for illegal actions. Look at weaponized IRS, fake emails to avoid EPA and other agencies to avoid FOIA requests, The FBI/NSA/FISA court spying on the Trump campaign and transition team, the way Mueller has hired biased political hacks to his team.

The swamp need to be drained and careers ended.

Christie was the guy I was thinking of. He would basically require all of Mueller’s folks to come in for an interrogation and provide all evidence pertaining to the dossier and the NSA info they’ve gleaned. I think this was on the to-do-list for at least six months. And I doubt if he’d even let ‘Forest-Gump’ Sessions do the appointment.

The Democrats shouldn’t have a problem with this since they’re all in favor of investigations.
The investigators of the investigators should also have subpoena power and the ability to summon grand juries for the purpose of indictments.

Jay needs to take Jeff’s job, and Chris Rod’s job. The exodus out of DOJ/FBI would be a buffalo stampede.

And exactly from what pool of impartial, trustworthy current or former DOJ or FBI swamp creatures will they draw this special counsel/prosecutor??


How about Rudy? LOL.

He’d just need to do what Mueller did. Set perjury traps and jail some of these Deep State traitors. What’s good for the goose...

“Does the Special Counsel have to be an American Citizen ?”

Let the Mossad do the investigation.

All of this paints a very clear picture for me - Mueller is a Bush/Clinton/Uniparty crony, who was brought out of retirement for one final kamikaze mission against Trump on behalf of the Deep State.

If they do, they better pick ONE on OUR side! I don't trust SESSIONS to play hardball, and all we will get is another wolf in sheep's clothing to investigate the first wolf in sheep's clothing.

This might explain why the establishment is against Trump. The deep state is about to be exposed and I think it is a race against time for them. Either Trump goes and all the Clinton/Obama documents get purged or someone high up in establishment circles is going to jail.

Trump knew that Trump Tower was “wire-tapped”, which, to me, means he had/has someone inside. His conversations that were leaked early on may have been deliberately obtuse to get noticed and to test security or lack of. The “liberals” (Dim, GOPe) are lazy and not too smart, which is why he cleaned up in the election. He is just toying with them while getting them to expose themselves...and I wouldn’t be surprised if he cut a deal with Mueller to help him take down the traitors in the FBI/CIA etc. I find it interesting of the timing that the news that this Strzock (or whatever) and this Ohr guy came out! Why would they hold onto that info unless it was imperative that certain deep staters not be tipped off?
