Deputy attorney general says no cause to fire Mueller
The Hill ^ | 12/13/17 | Morgan Chalfant

Posted on 12/13/2017 11:09:21 AM PST by detective

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein said Wednesday that he has seen no good cause to fire Robert Mueller from his role as special counsel in the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.   Rosenstein faced tough questions from Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee Wednesday amid revelations that FBI officials on Mueller’s team had exhibited political bias. President Trump’s allies have seized on the reports to discredit the investigation.

“Based upon his reputation, his service, his patriotism, and his experience with the department and the FBI, I believe he was an ideal choice for this task,” Rosenstein said.

He was the ideal choice for the task of covering for the Kenyanesian Usurpation and all of the crimes that entailed.

I know someone who was on the Trump team from the get-go and he knows Kushner did jack sh*t on the campaign trail. It was Corey Lewandowski who told Trump to keep saying “build the wall” while Kushner told Trump to NOT say it to avoid alienating voters.

In 2018, Trump gets 55 senators or more (likely) and Rs hold the House Rosenstein is likely gone in a year. I bet he doesn’t realize how tenuous is his position.

Greatest political crime in history of the United States and because the former President is black they cover it up. The Obama’s Admin abuse of power is the greatest scandal since watergate and criminals are investigating themselves. It is sickening.

Is there a cause to let him keep spending money? If he’s exhausted all of the evidence related to his purpose, it doesn’t make sense to pay to have him investigating other things. Of course, if his purpose is “get Trump”, there is no end until he finds evidence.

Expected opinion from one of our would-be fascist rulers.

Bottom line is that any of them can be fired at a moment’s notice for any reason down to picking their noses or scratching their asses.

No reason has to be given at all. They work for and at the pleasure of the president and congress, the judiciary, and all others have NO standing or power to change that.

Rosenstein is part of the Deep State cabal of Comey, Mueller, and McCabe. They should be arrested for subversion, as our intelligence agencies became totally Left-wing under their watch.

Some hearing. I was fascinated to watch a Libtard introduce into it rumors of Trump’s alleged abuse of women.

No good cause to fire him. Plenty of good cause to indict and incarcerate him though.

I suspect the 2018 mid terms are going to be a blood bath for the GOP, Senate turns blue and vast losses in the House...Then they will begin the process of Impeachment of Trump...and then the Impeachment of Pince..The GOP is very happy with that outcome..so they can rid themselves of both of them and to send a clear message to the voters “Do not ever do this again or expect the same will happen to them.”

" Kushner and Sessions need to go now "

That is where it needs to start. Sessions is the swamp, dump him and put in Trumps choice. Prosecute the scurrying nimrods.

I’ve seen enough of this sh!t. Trump needs to ignore the threats of impeachment by the repuki party and GUT THE DOJ.

None of the other crap matters if the rule of law is not restored. Purge all these seditionist leftists from the fed govt.
