GOP strategist to Trump: A ‘storm is coming’ in Russia investigation (Mueller still at it)
NYPOST.COM ^ | 4/1/18 | MARK MOORE

Posted on 04/01/2018 3:52:20 PM PDT by Liz

Alex Castellanos, Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney's campaign strategist, told ABC’s “This Week” it’s hard to believe that “Robert Mueller is not going to dig up something in Trump’s complicated financial history......”......a switch in Republicans’ fortune in Congress after November’s mid-term elections could bring dire consequences for the Trump presidency.

“It’s hard to believe then that when Republicans lose the House in 2018, maybe by 40 or 50 seats, that the House is not going to impeach him,” Castellanos said. “And that a Senate that’s scared to death, but still be in Republican hands, is not going to take a serious look when it has to deal with this president,” he said. “So Trump should get good legal help now, because the storm is coming.”

Trump’s legal team has been reduced to 2-3 attorneys after lead lawyer John Dowd resigned March 22 after a quarrel over how to respond to Mueller’s prosecutors. Dowd urged a more cooperative approach and advised Trump not to do a sit-down interview with Mueller. But Trump favored more aggressive tactics and spoke about his desire to be grilled by Mueller.

In the days around Dowd’s departure, a number of high-profile lawyers, including GWB's solicitor general, decided against joining.....Ty Cobb and Jay Sekulow, who have been advising the president in Mueller’s probe since last summer.

>>>Alejandro “Alex” Castellanos (born 1954) is a Cuban American political consultant. He has worked on electoral campaigns for Republican candidates including Bob Dole, George W. Bush, Jeb Bush, and Mitt Romney. In 2008, Castellanos, a partner at National Media Inc., co-founded Purple Strategies, a bipartisan communications firm. Castellanos is also a regular guest commentator on Meet the Press and a contributor for CNN.<<<

Purple Strategies? Baa haa haa. A Cuban Communist Republican Political Consultant.

Basically, Dole, Bush, Bush and Romney are either retarded or total RINOS who wish for two distinct and separate classes in this country aka communism.

Wild guess, the latter.

He should be thinking about the days of Jesse Helms- for whom he worked, and whose thinking could well be used by Trump at this point.

There is nothing to support 40-50 seats and an impeachment (trial) with no crime to support it, and a lot can and will happen between.

This is a Jeb/GW and Rubio pal paid for his words.

Prof Jonathan Turley called it “brilliant” that Sessions is combining all the powers of the DOJ’s IG with a Utah-based prosecutor who can:

<><> (A) bring charges,

<><> (B) seek indictments, and,

<><> (C) get results far more quickly than a DC-based 2nd special counsel.

Appears that move was well thought-out.....not some fly-by-night nowhere operation.

We will just have to wait and see what emerges.

Hey Trump, you put Sessions at the top of DOJ, you deserve this nonsense. I voted for the guy all the way back to the primaries, but I have no sympathy for his blunder with Sessions.


You just need to hold tight through the midterms. I have no doubt POTUS will clean house after that.

Jesse Helms vs. Harvey Gandt in NC close fought Senator race- the most telling. But long ago glommed into the high expense Bushies... and this is the Bushies (and Romneybot’s) greatest wishes he is expressing. The worm is turning, and they are still behind it.

Of all the spurious excuses she gives for her loss, the most ludicrous is that
Hillary says she lost her "sure-thing election" because "Putin doesn't like me."

Hillary once bragged that she, alone, was brought into Putin's inner sanctum
where she assured Putin she was worried about wildlife like he was.

Dam...Putin musta outright lied when he whispered to Hilary that they were BFF.

Secy Hillary and Obama were eager to please Russia w/ the friendly reset button.
Hillary later said the reset gambit was Obama's and her idea "to strengthen Russia."

==============================================

Ex-Pres Clinton is s-o-o-o-o friendly he traveled to Russia to clinch the uranium giveaway deal.
And to pocket a $500,000 dollar speaking fee from a Moscow bank plus a sizeable commission.

Billyboo even laid his "Hot Damn Hillbilly Act" on Putin.

This guy Catellanos is a Cheap Labor Express operative that masquerades as a Republican strategist.
The only Republicans who hire him are Bush League Republicans hell bent on making the USA into North Mexico.

RELENTLESS-- Mueller team looking into possible United Arab Emirates money into Trump campaign: report
Fox News ^ | 3/04/18 | Joseph Weber / FR Posted by Libloather Special counsel Robert Mueller’s team is now purportedly looking into whether the United Arab Emirates, with perhaps help from a top adviser, tried to gain political influence by putting money into Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign -- a tack that would indicate Mueller’s investigation continues to expand beyond whether campaign officials colluded with Russia.

Mueller’s investigators in recent weeks have questioned the adviser, Lebanese-American businessman George Nader, and asked witnesses for information about whether the UAE tried to buy political influence by giving money to the Trump campaign, according to The New York Times.

Nader has been a frequent visitor to the Trump White House. And the president has praised the UAE for the Persian Gulf nation’s efforts to work with the United States on economic issues and squashing terrorism in the region, thanking Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed for his efforts just last week, according to the White House.

Mueller is going to give the Repukis in congress and fig leaf to impeach Trump. They hate Trump. Did I mention that they hate Trump? They want him gone more than the demoncrats do. That’s why 95% of them are still singing mueller’s praises despite the glaring conflicts and illegitimacy of his ‘quest’.

IOW, the republicans will impeach and remove Trump if mueller gives them cover.

If that were to happen, it would bring on civil war. We are already in a civil war, but the shooting hasn't started yet, just lawfare and media smears by shills. Thanks Liz.

All of which MUELLER is a part— his ignoring of the criminal bribery of KNOWN Russian agents allowing Uranium 1 to continue to be “bought into” greased with Rubles and kickbacks.

So, “Hope” comes in the form that... all along, with DOJ IG’s help that the true Prosecutor in Utah has been digging this up on Mueller— for delivery and “convincing” for him to close up his bullcrap machine designed to cover his own absolute corrupt failures. Downside is Huber was an “Ashcroft “ well liked (so apparently was Comey.. but maybe not).

Hope is not a plan. This requires political pressure- Mueller-— step down or we will fire you ourselves. obamaumao and you and his set of alinsky criminals are all- ALL complicit in the destruction of our Republic.

Trump is not your average person. He is under constant audit by IRS. Even moreso, he has been in the gaming industry and the gaming industry does extensive background investigation in the principals. They are always looking for illegal activity. I doubt Mueller will find anything significant, that these prior investigations have not already discovered.

So, someone of the white hats, needs to bring the potential exposure of McConnell’s REAL reason he was released from the US Army at Fort Knox. With the potential photos and documents- that his protector Repub (of that time) Senator from KY. This would be boy on boy stuff- and not nice.

That and the new Schwiezer book that exposes that Elaine Chao’s (mcconnell’s wife and Sec. of Transportation) father’s mega bucks container shipping business has had ALL of their ships built by the CHI-COMs! But noooo influence at all on olde McConnell, no sir, despite this being the method the chi-coms use to “GET” to US pols. And explains the closeness of the clintons and the sort of “conservative” mcconnell.
