Mueller taps more prosecutors to help with growing Trump probe
Chicago Tribune ^ | July 5, 2018 | Chris Strohm

Special counsel Robert Mueller is tapping additional Justice Department resources for help with new legal battles as his year-old investigation of Russian interference with the 2016 election continues to expand.

As Mueller pursues his probe, he's making more use of career prosecutors from the offices of U.S. attorneys and from Justice Department headquarters, as well as FBI agents -- a sign that he may be laying the groundwork to hand off parts of his investigation eventually, several current and former U.S. officials said.

Mueller has, apparently, an limitless budget as long as DOJ/Sessions/Rosenstein protect him. He can hire and spend limitlessly. What would it take to force Rosenstein to take action? Suppose Mueller decided to hire a 1000 new attorneys? Would that cause any response? The deep state is all in to stop President Trump and the Congress is unwilling or unable to do anything to stop him either.

It’s time for Mueller to spend the rest of his life behind bars. He thinks it’s the good old days where the public doesn’t know what he’s up to.

Mueller is hiring some real prosecutors because his team has been exposed as a bunch of incompetent legal minds in the court proceedings they’ve had to date.

Wonder if these appointments are bribes to keep people quiet. Or payoffs for services rendered....


an important part of the investigation is using Federal dollars for opposition research into Republicans.

also covering up dem crimes.

Your tax dollars at work.

Of course he does - looking for overdue library books and unpaid parking tickets is labor intensive.

The Deep State intends to continue these investigations as long as Trump is in office, or until Trump gets rid of Sessions and Rosenstein.

It is all courtesy of Ryan and McConnell.

Congress could cut off the funding for this and if that horse’s patoot wants to continue let him do it on his own dime!

If Mueller can’t make his witch hunt work he knows this is his last job and ends in shame.

It’s time for him and Rosenstein to face the military tribunal then the hangman. Hang them from the mast of the USS Ronald Reagan and let them stay there for awhile.

The day after election day, fire Sessions and Rosenstein and put an adult in there and stop this charade.

If Trump did anything wrong, this is the most incompetent investigation ever.

If they aren’t incompetent, this is about politics rather than law.

And losers on the left cite those Russian indictments as proof of interference when in fact if this was the extent of it, the hysteria of the so-called meddling has gone too far. There is painfully little in the way of espionage just a lot more hysteria than actual vote influence by Russia. Yet the narrative continues.

The octopus thinks it does not have enough tentacles because it’s fishing expeditions, no matter how far afield they go, don’t bring back enough meat. THAT is what is actually going on.

So not getting much real meat, it is attempting to prosecute a mass of extraneous minnows to justify its efforts. How and why? Rosenstein gave the octop[us Mueller is running a blank check, which is just the kind of fishing license the bungling Mueller loves.

Hopefully he is just spreading some of the wealth around before it gets shut down.

But this will make it all seem that much more useless, and help Trump.

They threw so much money at him and found nothign.

In the year 2030, 10 years after Donald Trumps’ second election, Special Counsel Robert Mueller has spent 4.5 billion US dollars, hired 21,000 prosecutors, and still no evidence of collusion; however Donald Trumps Jr’s cat has been detained. It seems that the cat has caught a mouse that allegedly came from Russia aboard a cargo ship seized by US customs with containers marked “HRC”.....Mueller has now hired a prominent DC veterinarian to see if the mouse is speaking in code to the cat..........BREAKING.

Trump needs to begin daily tweets on how much public money has been spent on the witch hunt.
