Mueller requests emails from Trump campaign data firm: report
The Hill ^ | 12/14/2017 | John Bowdon

Posted on 12/15/2017 4:23:58 AM PST by EBH

Special counsel Robert Mueller's office has reportedly requested information from Cambridge Analytica, the data firm utilized by the Trump campaign during the 2016 presidential election.

The Wall Street Journal reports that Mueller's team has requested all emails from employees at the firm who worked with the campaign.

The request, which wasn't previously known, was voluntary, as was another request the firm complied with from the House Intelligence Committee, the newspaper reported.

Cambridge Analytica CEO Alexander Nix also interviewed with the House Intelligence Committee over video call this week, according to the report.

Nix was reported earlier this year to have been in contact with top Trump donor Rebekah Mercer about better organizing emails being released by WikiLeaks.

WikiLeaks chief Julian Assange tweeted that he could confirm that he was contacted by Nix prior to November 2016, and that Nix's request was declined.

All they have to do is delete and bleach the emails. Nothing wrong with that.

It’s been how many months and Mueller is just getting around to making this request? What is that gigantic staff doing with their time?

A voluntary request to turn over emails is hardly turning up the heat.

It’s far more likely he’s tying up loose ends.

——but we have no serious investigation.——

Actually there is a very serious investigation being conducted by 450 special agents

No! Time to stop cooperating until they are investigated! Congress.. at least Republicans.. and everyone bothered by a corrupted government run wild for too long ... get Sessions off his comfortable duff and proceed to bring charges instead of delay and ignoring the huge elephant in our government.

Just say “no, you’re rights have been forfeited”.

This will all be filed under “no reasonable prosecutor...etc”. Deep state will be exonerated from the findings.

Screw Mueller. This isn’t an investigation. This is data mining to learn every detail of the inner workings of three campaign.

The investigation is opposition research for 2020. Mueller is dishonest.

The company complied voluntarily with the request for documents. No subpoena.

This is a nothingburger.

Mueller knows his investigation is fatally compromised and uncovered no underlying crime; he's just going through the motions at this point.

The liberals are deeply embedded in this attempted coup d'état

And now, a definition (1), that I found on Google, of the efforts of the MSM, the DNC, and their tools Robert Mueller and company:

They used to throw a suspected Witch into a Well.

If she drowned she was Innocent, if she didn’t drown she was Guilty so they took her out and burned her at the Stake.

“Why is Mueller not in jail for Uranium 1?”

I’m hoping it’s because Trump gave him immunity from being court martialed for it.

In return for killing the deep state.

If this is what is happening, we won’t learn of it until most of the work is accomplished behind the scenes.

Hillary’s lapdog is digging for dirt. That would be a great meme, Mueller with the body of a dog, sitting in Hillary’s lap.0

THIS MUST STOP!

Good luck with that - this gang of French Republicans in the Congress hate trump as much as Muller, Obama, Media, all leftists nationwide. It won't stop until Trump fires Muller and shuts down the special prosecutor and then the weasel GOP will join the RATS and launch impeachment articles.
