It has never made sense to me how Mueller could be (or presumed trusted to be) in this position, considering he is a personal friend of Comey.

Trump should fire Muehler, Sessions, and anyone else in the Deep State. It’s time for people to be told to get on the Trump Train or be fired.

According to reports at the time, Mueller lobbied for the job of special counsel

So ... Mueller meets with Trump & Rosenstein the day before he’s appointed Special Counsel. Trump has the FISC Court Order ... are we to somehow believe that this wasn’t ever simply presented let alone discussed? Then what do/did they do? Of course the IG had the FISC Order and is / has been all over it ... no possible scenario I can envision does not conclude these guys all know + knew + know all! Still seems to me Trump MUST have a pretty good sting in the works here but the big question remains - Rosenstein remains the wild card - is Mueller prosecuting the sting or has he made himself the first unwitting target? TBD ;)

-- My Dad always said that intrigue only begat intrigue but why did Sessions recuse himself? --

He can't be trusted to investigate a person or entity he has an interest in or an animus against. The investigation is ostensibly against the Trump campaign, and Sessions was part of that.

That doesn't mean Mueller's appointment was well taken. Just that sessions has at least an appearance of conflict of interest in investigating the Trump campaign.

That’s another good point. I agree.

Oh I like this. If true, just one congressional committee needs to send a message to Mueller that they wish to have him testify under oath if he attended a meeting at the Ritz-Carlton, Tysons Corner which included potentially James Comey, Peter Strzok, Andrew McCabe, John Brennan, James Clapper, Leon Panetta, Phill Mud, David Petraeus, Michael Hayden & former Attorney General Eric Holder.

That would send him a pretty solid message.

There are a couple dots to connect there - less than a month after he was sworn in, Trump fired the head of USSS. The guy was Obama's appointee and he resigned effective 3/4/17. That day, 3/4/17, is when Trump then infamously tweeted about being wiretapped. Trump's replacement for head of Secret Service was tapped from Border Patrol but career Marine.

After following some of the investigations in the 90s, I more or less wait for something of substance to come about now.

I’m not up on all that you are. What you say makes sense to me.

It would seem to me like Trump gave Mueller all the rope he needed to hang himself.

We’ll have to see if it plays out that way.

Whoooo Boy!

After hearing about that creep panetta and his blood crap I would not put anything past these freaks and traitors.

I believe that anything we can imagine they would do and that they have done things we can’t even imagine.

Patreus is like barky just white so far as I am concerned. He actually believes he is the smartest man in any room.

This problem of the FBI and Muehler won’t be correct until Federal employees are required to swear an oath of fealty to President Trump. That’s the best way to end the contrivances and unfair conspiracies seeking, putatively, to put no man above the law. Save Trump.

My inclination is to be very careful about these stories. ONE false story and *they* will harp on that to discredit all others. We’ve all seen how one false/misleading/incorrect sentence in a story will take the focus away from all the truth. Hopefully, all the truth will come out, and no reason to downgrade that truth will be presented.

-- It has never made sense to me how Mueller could be (or presumed trusted to be) in this position, considering he is a personal friend of Comey. --

That sense depends on what Mueller is looking into. Once he enters a zone of questioning the motive for firing Comey, he's conflicted.

And of course, if he is privy to and intends to cover up the framing of Trump on bogus "Russian collusion" charges, he's conflicted.

If there is a straight up question, it's possible in theory for Mueller to investigation the allegation of Trump campaign collusion with any foreign government, without affecting Comey's interests. But once it appears that Mueller is interested in vindicating Comey, in any way, he's got a clear conflict.

At this point, as a practical matter, Mueller is conflicted. At least half the public thinks he is, and that settles the question.

I see it about the same way, for the same reason. Rosenstein appointed, Comey fired less than two weeks later (Rosenstein memo is a killer), Mueller interviewed by Trump for FBI job (supposedly), Mueller appointed SC two days later. That sequence so tight in timing just doesn't strike me as coincidental.

Mueller has been given free rein. Not sure what Rosenstein's motive for allowing that over-reach is.

Yes, you are correct. I get all of them confused sometimes. It is hard to see any difference from one maggot to another.
