Donald J. Trump Verified account
@realDonaldTrump 6m6 minutes ago More I hereby demand, and will do so officially tomorrow, that the Department of Justice look into whether or not the FBI/DOJ infiltrated or surveilled the Trump Campaign for Political Purposes - and if any such demands or requests were made by people within the Obama Administration!
Rudy’s the best for ramping up public opinion. The very best, in my opinion. But if he’s a special counsel, does he have to quit doing the talk shows? That would be the only reason I would have for going with some U.S. attorney instead.
Look how comical Mueller's team looks when they show up for their hearings in the Concord Management case so woefully unprepared.
This is all about the optics. Trump knows that public opinion plays into this and when enough GOP/independents are outraged about a Nixon like operation in the Obama DOJ/FBI..... then Congress will scream for a SP. Meantime, the US Atty Sessions talked about continues to his work.
Slow walk this thing into the summer and get hearings in August and the fall elections will be a breeze.
That’s what the long game looks like.....patience.
He can’t be a special counsel to oversee an investigation of illicit FBI-CIA surveillance of Donald Trump. As a member of Trump’s personal legal team he has an obvious conflict of interest.
Rudy could resign as a member of Trump’s legal team, no?
In their stupidity of demanding Attorney General Session ‘wake-up’, means they have no clue how the Justice system is suppose to work.

Oh... you mean like take 15 months and do absolutely nothing?
If that’s the way the “justice system is suppose[d] to work,” maybe it needs to find a better way.
And, P.S. Jeff Sessions SUCKS.
I mean, it’s not like Muleface didn’t have any conflicts!
I heard McCarthy say Trump is a better president than he thought he would be. It took him a little longer than Levin to come around. Better late than never. Trump doesn't need a SC at the moment, he needs more fresh air. I think the Grassely and Nunes committees are the best avenue for that. Another SC would just bog things down again.
That is exactly what he is doing. When they ignore him, he will fire seesions and roensrein and give wray a chance to take over.
I know ... I am not a 'lawyer', one of my children is, and I have worked with and for lawyers in my prior life. I was 'shocked' that a Clinton Foundation lawyer showed up in court and was shown to be a third rate officer of the court...
That’s the President’s real leverage—his ability to declassify whatever he chooses, at a time of his choosing.
—
Yes. He can declassify anything he wants whenever he chooses. The media will utterly refuse to report a word of it, the RATS will shed crocodile tears and accuse Trump of treason for “leaking national secrets and endangering the lives of innocent women, children and transgenders!” and Maxine Waters will call for impeachment.
“President Trump would not tweet this unless if he was 1,000% in control.
It’s going to happen!”
There was a lot of strategizing that went into the President’s decision to make his tweet so official.
Like others have said, he doesn’t do anything major without forethought and plenty of it.
...I don’t think I’ve seen a single lawyer in the media who is critical of Sessions complain that things aren’t happening fast enough. Lawyers know better than anyone what a legal process involves, and the importance of getting everything right the first time it’s done.
—
Or lawyers are just, by nature, so utterly corrupt and without morals that this kind of behavior just seems like second nature to them.
How long would it take you to sift through decades of planting progressives up and down the bureaucracy of 50,000 employees?
I think the DOJ should appoint a sitting US Attorney, perhaps Huber, to handle this under a general power to delegate and not rely on the 1999 special counsel regulation to bring in an outside person like McCarthy or Giuliani.
I have doubts that the 1999 regulation was properly drafted and would sustain a well-argued legal challenge. I know this is inconceivable given that it was drafted by ueber-brilliant super-lawyer Neal Katyal, but there you have it.
If you hired a lawyer in a civil lawsuit, would you be OK if he left his firm halfway through the trial and showed up in court a few days later representing the other side in the lawsuit?
I’m confused. A lot of folks in this thread are calling for Trump to appoint Rudy as a special prosecutor to go after all the deep state traitors.
But didn’t they finger Rudy as a deep state traitor who knew and covered up “the truth” about 9/11? So they’re saying he’s a good guy now?
This deep state stuff is hard to follow. Can someone point me to an updated list?
Correction appreciated.
Sessions is not indicting, nor will ever indict anyone.
A criminal referral was made to the DC District
Prosecutor to make the decision to indict or not
indict McCabe.
So Sessions is not nor will he ever be indicting
any of these criminals.
Let’s get that myth out of the way.
