For precisely what federal crimes is the president of the United States under investigation by a special counsel appointed by the Justice Department?
It is intolerable that, after more than two years of digging — the 16-month Mueller probe having been preceded by the blatantly suspect labors of the Obama Justice Department and FBI — we still do not have an answer to that simple question.
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein owes us an answer.
To my mind, he has owed us an answer from the beginning, meaning when he appointed Special Counsel Robert Mueller on May 17, 2017. The regulations under which he made the appointment require (a) a factual basis for believing that a federal crime worthy of investigation or prosecution has been committed; (b) a conflict of interest so significant that the Justice Department is unable to investigate this suspected crime in the normal course; and (c) an articulation of the factual basis for the criminal investigation — i.e., the investigation of specified federal crimes — which shapes the boundaries of the special counsel’s jurisdiction.

Guilty of being a Swamp Killer
It’s NRO, so there’s some obligatory Trump-bashing, but skip past it to the meat of the article.
Mueller probe is out of time, or it should be. Make the information public. And then go home.
They forgot to mention that it has cost over $2 million/day for each day Papadopoulos must spend in jail...
Rosensweasel is the crime.
Both Mueller and Rosenstein have made up the rules as they go.
It’s an unconstitutional abuse of power.
You can’t point to regulations and then go off the rails using those regulations as a fig leaf.
Over and over we have seen mountains of evidence that not only have they done this, the original fig leaf - the FISA warrants - were fabrications.
The entire “investigation” (=Inquisition) is illegal.
Trump is right again.
Misfud, in his deposition in Feb said that he never talked to Papadopoulas about Hillary’s emails. Now Misfud is missing and presumed dead?
Bruce Ohr, under oath, said that in 2015, before the Mueller probe, kept Andrew Weisman up to date and informed about the Trump dossier. Weissman is Mueller’s right-hand man.
Rod Rosenstein signed off on at least the 4th FISA application, which appears to have many problems. Basically, that it is that it is full of lies and omissions.
Which means that Rosenweasel is at least as conflicted as Mr. Magoo Sessions ever was, and probably more so, since all evidence points to the fact that the FISA was obtained fraudulently, and Rosenweasel participated in perpetuating the fraud.
why has trump left this coup conspirator in office
“Rosenweasel is the crime” Bingo!
I love Sara Carter, Greg Jarrett and John Solomon but they keep saying how much trouble all of these creeps are in but Who is going to do anything about it? Surely, not Sessions who appears to have a love affair with Rosenstein.
The crime is not being a New World Order globalist.
It is clear that in poring over all these millions of records going back many years and involving many people, they are trying to FIND or CREATE a crime; they are not investigating a known crime.
Weismann, Rosenstein, Strozk, Page, McCabe, Yates, Ohrs, the Corrupt FISA JUDGES, Lynch....and HILLARY and OBAMA ALL need to be TRIED and SENT to PRISON!!!

Unconstitutional search and seizure
Mueller and his CORRUPT GSNG are trying RUIN and BANKRUPT EVERYONE that comes into contact with Trump!!
POTUS must declassify the Mueller investigation/coup scope memo. I’m sure Rosendirtbag put a bunch of classified info in it to make that difficult.
why has trump left this coup conspirator in office
Easy question. His own party doesn’t support him and is using the Mueller coup to hamstring him. Ultimately the GOPe goal is to slow his America First MAGA agenda that their big corporate donors do not support.
