Donald Trump’s Campaign to Discredit the Russia Investigation May Be Working. It’s Also Damaging American Democracy (Full title)

In a warren of low-ceilinged rooms on the ground floor of the West Wing, down the stairs from the Oval Office and next to the Situation Room, Donald Trump’s lawyers are waging war.

They’re locked in battle with Robert Mueller, the special counsel investigating Russia’s interference in the 2016 election, who has indicted 19 people over the past 13 months, five of whom have pleaded guilty. Now he is homing in on the investigation’s most powerful subject: the President, whom Mueller wants to testify under oath about what he knows.

The so-called “Russia Investigation” is a farce. At best.

All the President is doing is preventing the so-called “news” media from portraying it as something it is not.

Indicted 19 people. These people really are disgusting. Of course they don’t want to educate their readers that the 19 people are all in Russia inaccessible to the United States government or that some of those 19 people actually want to come back to America and have real discovery

How come they’re denied the right to come here? You know like everybody else in the world has the right to come here. I think of it as Breaking and Entering. Or trespassing and theft.

“Now he is homing in on the investigation’s most powerful subject: the President...”

Hmm, but we were assured this started as a counterintelligence probe to PROTECT Trump, and Comey assured us that the President wasn’t being investigated...

Trump couldn’t possibly discredit it more than Ferris Mueller has.

A few questions for Special Counsel Mueller. S/C Investigations normally pursue a crime.

<><> What crime are you investigating?

<><> Your job description centered on Russian collusion, what statute in the US code would you use to prosecute collusion?

<><> Your investigative team is composed of highly partisan supporters of Hillary Clinton? Did you seek out independent, non-partisan lawyers?

<><> Russia expert, Fanny Ohr, wife of demoted DOJ official Bruce Ohr, who worked for Fusion GPS on the Steele dossier acquired a short-wave radio license about that time? Did the FBI monitor any of Ohr’s electronic communications?

<><> 2016 candidate Hillary Clinton as Secy of State, removed boxes of official documents and destroyed more than 30,000 official emails. Did you know about this?

<><> What was the Loretta Lynch and Bill Clinton meeting about, aside from the usual pleasantries?

<><> The FBI sought to identify and discipline the agent who made the Lynch-Clinton meeting public. Is that offiial FBI policy.

<><> Former CIA boss John Brennan is making angry statements about Pres Donald Trump. Would you have hired him at the FBI? If so, in what capacity?

<><> When reporters asked you if the FBI had dropped the ball by failing to act, you said, “No. I think, given the context of the discussions and the situation that the agents and the analysts were looking at, they took appropriate steps.”

<><> Any second thoughts on that?

<><> Given the time and money you have put in, does the the absence of any crime or collusion trouble you?

<><> Are Democrats disappointed in you?

<><> If so, how have they acted against you?

<><> Did you resent it when Cong Schiff who based has his political career on your finding Russian collision called you a little ****?

<><> Can you account for every penny of the $17 million taxpayers were forced to pay for this phony investigation?

Wrong. The investigation is damaging the American REPUBLIC. Because although the invstigation has...

...indicted 19 people over the past 13 months, five of whom have pleaded guilty...

...NOT ONE of the indictments, much less guilty pleas, involved activity between the Russians and the Trump campaign to influence the outcome of the election. The evidence does not exist because the alleged "collusion" never happened. If it did, the electronic eavesdropping, the insertion of spies, moles and informants into the campaign operations, the work of 19 high-powered partisan democrat operatives, would have revealed the existence of such collusion long ago.

Rosenstein recommended the firing of Comey, and then Rosenstein named FBI insider Mueller as a Special Counsel to investigate Trump for firing Comey.

Mueller has a screaming conflict of interest in the matter, and should be disbarred for accepting the gig. And Rosenstein should be disbarred for naming Mueller - and if not for that, then certainly for signing a fraudulent application to the court for a FISA warrant.

OUR money. It could be used to provide housing for children ripped from their parents arms by evil ICE agents. Or food or water or medical treatment. Wasting our tax dollars millions at a time.
