well, DJT ... CAN .. do the job now
and if he doesn’t, the “witch hunt” will just continue trying to undermine DJT’s presidency
I am curious.
Those FReepers who use the social networks, how is all of this being treated.
Should I be afraid to ask, since I do not use Facebook, Twitter or any other network. I would hope there are sensible people who can handle the truth there.
Of course he can, but that would be a bypass of the duly appointed officer whose job it is to end the witch hunt AND absorb the political heat for doing so.
Given what we now know about this whole sordid affair, Sessions is now duty bound to rescind his recusal and DO HIS JOB!
But he won't, which is why the President is out here fighting this coup alone.
No way. That's the one thing the President shouldn't do—that would validate the Dems and give them something to legitimately complain about.
The whole “investigation” is based on this phony dossier, that all parties knew was bullsh*t.
That's for sure. That investigation will result in nothing that will harm the President—politically or otherwise.
I'm thinking that Congressman Gowdy might actually be aware that Mueller is investigation some other issues—issues which aren't focused on the President—and that could be why he is "100 percent confident in Special Counsel Robert Mueller".
But, again, President Trump firing Mueller is the one thing that would give the Dems traction and allow them to cry "obstruction"—it's a trap that President Trump isn't going to fall for...
“...firing Mueller is the one thing that would give the Dems traction...”
You’re probably right.
But it’s just SO clearly bullsh*t right now after the memo release. And it went from “collusion” to “obstruction” to hunting for process “crime” now.
It’s all crap.
FNC is the only place the memo’s actual content is even being covered. Unless charges are brought the MSM will continue to act as the Rats main weapon to beat back the truth. It is depressing to watch so I don’t. Sessions could save the day but won’t. Does his recusal does not keep him from reading the memo and seeing they committed fraud to get a fisa warrant? No of course not. He is still the AG.
I am to the point where I despise him almost as much as Schiff.
I think you are correct. Mueller started a probe for collusion and given the rampant leaks - it is simply not there. On top of that, there is mounting evidence that much of the “probable cause” for the collision investigation was based on a crumbly and partisan investigation into an inconsequential figure - Carter Page. Mueller understands how badly that weakens any criminal case because the rules of discovery dictate the defendant has access to it all and there would be tens of thousands of competent attorneys who would love a shot at the underpinnings of the intelligence investigation. This would be a big mess for everyone - especially the intelligence agencies, FBI, and the previous administration. They would have to produce every single email, text message, and produce every subpoena’d witness. Those are the rules and that is why this will never happen. Beyond unrelated charges of lying about the flawed investigation (those are suspect too and because of the same crap foundation) there will not be charges of substance for the very reason I just stated. The “deep state” knows this - yet few seem to realize it.
So now the investigation has transitioned to “obstruction” and Mueller is in a pickle here as well. First - he is hopelessly conflicted due to his relationship with Comey before he started and Comey’s stated desire that Mueller be appointed. Having followed this thing..... who is the best witness for obstruction (i.e. - who came out and said the President committed obstruction?) - Comey.
Let’s take a good look at Comey -
He leaked classified information produced on a government laptop - admittedly to get a special counsel appointed (his mentor - Mueller). A felony and strike 1.
He apparently - based on the newly released text messages - was less than candid in his prior testimony before congress regarding the Clinton email investigation and his description of the investigation and decision making process. On top of that, do you think he told his boss (the President) that they used this craptastic dossier as the basis for wiretapping (that he denied publicly and before congress by the way)? Strike 2.
On top of this - let’s compare the obstruction that took place in that investigation (allowed by Comey) to what he alleges the President said (he is not really a credible witness anymore is he?) that constitutes obstruction according to CNN.
He says the President interfered and pressured him in an ongoing investigation. As Allen Dershowitz says - so what? Even assuming he did and that is doubtful - that is within the powers granted the President over an executive agency so there is not even a crime here. Strike 3
On the other hand.... the FBI under his leadership and absent apparent permission from DOJ as required by law - granted immunity to involved parties in a national security investigation, allowed them to repeatedly destroy evidence of the crime after they were told to preserve it, and he outlined the elements of a crime before saying “no reasonable prosecutor would pursue such a case!” He does not have the legal authority to do this! Stunning arrogance. In fact, the investigation should be reopened because it now appears some of the investigators making these decisions and granting immunity did not only NOT HAVE the statutory authority to grant immunity, they themselves were partisan actors involved in.... *gasp* obstruction of justice!
Mueller - already conflicted if he used Comey as the basis of any obstruction charge is smart enough to know and understand what I wrote above. Unless there is something completely shocking that we are all unaware of (hard to believe with the pattern of leaks) this thing will die of its own volition because Mueller understands what I wrote is true.
If Mueller charged obstruction the ENTIRE conspiracy unravels on their end. The defendant would have open access to all of it - immediately. I don’t want to suffer another year of angst in the media where they have lost their collective minds, but another part of me wishes they would charge someone with obstruction. I think Cobb, Sekulow, and company would leave a pile of smoldering ash and ruins behind them and it would not be on the lawn of the White House. Just my .02
“Mueller - already conflicted if he used Comey as the basis of any obstruction charge is smart enough to know and understand what I wrote above.”
I think what you and McGavin are not getting is Mueller is not acting out of integrity. You expect him to act as you would. Mueller, Rosenstein and the rest of these bastards have one goal to destroy Trump. Failing that damage and cripple him as much as possible. Both of these guys conflicted as hell but they don’t care in the least of it looks. Mueller shamelessly fills his team with rat mercenaries and ignores any criticism.
Excellent summary. Thank you.
That could be what turns the tables around on the Dems. Remember, Sessions has an investigation going on right now on Hillary’s email case. No doubt, Comey and others screwed up and are corrupt....this investigation will leave no doubt on what corruption has been going on in the DOJ.
You could be right, but given what we know about Mueller I believe he is smart enough to see the downside of charges for the sake of partisanship. I firmly believe if he charges something serious it will lead to far more sunlight than we will get through congressional committees and a biased media. All of the media coverage is focused on those screaming for Trump’s head over the same baseless speculation we have had since the election. However, they do not have to meet a standard of “beyond a reasonable doubt” in a courtroom NOR do they realize the federal rules of discovery will open the closet completely unlike the present “delay, redact, and ignore” response congress is getting!
If Mueller lights that match I think they will be burned far worse than Trump.
Do you doubt for a second that Trump will not fight back viciously? Consider the smorgasbord of potential investigations he could demand - emailgate, Uranium 1, the.IRS targeting scandal, the Clinton foundation, the DOJ social justice slush fund, and the list goes on and on.
Trump knows how to play the game. He has indicated a willingness to move forward and not play vindictive games, but if the rabid left drags the DNC over the cliff and Mueller acts in a partisan manner is there any doubt in your mind he will not fight back just as hard?
Somebody explain to me how the Special Counsel investigation into Russian collusion with Trump can continue when the evidenciary basis for it has been proved to be false and not capable of supporting the initial investigation.
Mueller does not need to be fired. Sessions needs to demand that his DOJ immediately cease the investigation, as the basis for it has been proved to be fraudulent.
But then Sessions is proving to be a spineless wimp of the highest order. Where is Rudy Giuliani when you need him?
Can Congress force the DOJ to suspend and close the Mueller investigation based on the fact there was no precept for it?
How can anyone justify continuing the Mueller investigation to completion knowing what we now know?
Is this Alice Through the Looking Glass or the Matrix or something? Has reality been suspened?
We need to keep the message simple:
1) Hillary/DNC colluded with the Russians and paid for Trump Oppo Reseach. Fact
2) FBI FISA Warrants/”Wiretaps” were based on a fraudulent document. Fact
3) US Government Democrats spied on US Citizens and rival political opponents during a Presidential election. Fact
4) Congressional Democrats, DNC, Media and Obama Administration Officials are NOW A-OK with 4th amendment violations and Illegal search and seizure. Fact
Repeat it over and over until Americans fully understand what liberal Democrats think about the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Succinct and effective.
Yeah so, what are you going to do about it, Donald?
I think the latest tweets are shots across Mueller’s and Rostensein’s bows...
