Andrew McCabe, the disgraced former acting FBI director, reveals in his new book that Robert Mueller temporarily left his cell phone behind after a meeting with President Trump in the Oval Office and that the phone later had to be retrieved.
McCabe did not explain why he included the detail in his book.
McCabe says that Mueller left the phone behind after Trump had interviewed Mueller as a potential candidate to replace James Comey as FBI director. The interview reportedly took place in the Oval Office just one day before Mueller had been appointed special counsel in the so-called Russia collusion case.
In June 2017, CNN first cited a White House official as saying that Trump had interviewed Mueller to potentially replace Comey one day before Mueller was named special counsel. CNN reported it was unlikely that Mueller informed Trump of his soon-to-be-announced special counsel gig. According to multiple reports, the White House was only given short notice that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein was going to name Mueller as special counsel.
In his anti-Trump book, titled, The Threat: How the F.B.I. Protects America in the Age of Terror and Trump, McCabe, citing Rosenstein, relates the story of Mueller leaving his phone behind after the interview with Trump.
McCabe wrote:
In this same meeting Rod talked about interviews with candidates for director. Then he flipped back to talking about possible candidates for the special counsel job. It was hard to track whether he was talking about candidates for one job or for the other. One minute, he said Mueller had been asked to interview for the position of FBI director; Mueller had gone in for an interview with Trump, and left his phone there, and then the phone had to be retrieved.

OMG! It was RECORDING EVERYTHING that TRUMP said AFTER the MEETING! What a CREEPY guy Mueller is.
BINGO!!! WHY did McCabe KNOW THIS FACT?? HMMMMMMMMM
When a president conducts proceedings to interview candidates to fill a position such as a new FBI director, there is an argument that the same provision of law which makes it a crime to lie to an FBI agent conducting an investigation also makes it a crime to lie to the president when he is investigating and interviewing such candidates during such a proceeding.
If Mueller and Rosenstein were dishonest and misleading to the president as to the reason Mueller was put forward and interviewed by President Trump, then they may have committed a crime, the same type of crime General Flynn was prosecuted for.
We need an investigation into all of the communications of Comey, Mueller, Rosenstein and the others involved to ascertain whether and what crimes were committed in obtaining the Special Counsel on specious grounds, as well of course into all the dirty machinations involved in the phony dossier and the investigation by the Obama administration into the Trump campaign.
By waiting so long, many records such as telcom records may not now be available.
But as we know we have a double standard, in which our rulers in the intel and fed LE departments are free from investigation for their potential crimes, because there is no one to hold accountable abusers of power.
Left your cell phone behind after meeting with the President?
DC is single party but surely there are laws specific to making recordings in the White House.
Excellent catch......looks like in the Obama police state everybody was in on the crooked action to "get Trump."
One email exchange revealed the two lovebirds discussing that Pres Obama "wants to know everything we're doing."
Note well that Schiff-head is going around saying he's gonna do the job Mueller didnt do.
How does Schiff know?
Who is Schiff colluding with?
Explains the goofy, OMG! look on the Halfrican's face when he met Pres-elect Trump.
The dirt Hillary was gonna sweep under the Oval Office rug was now in the hands of the man they tried to destroy.
"After all we did, that creep Clinton lost. This guy Trump's got the paper trail. No way I'm going to jail.
We got Mueller, we blame the Russians, and pin it all on Trump."
===========================================
Mueller was not hired to investigate Trump; he was hired to cover up crimes, his own, and those of his fellow travelers.
The Halfrican and his factotums orchestrated an elaborate plot to derail the Trump candidacy and then tapped
Mueller to find a crime to get Trump impeached.......by any means necessary.
DC laws are one thing, DOJ law enforcement officials (former or otherwise) making illicit tapes in the oval office without a warrant is another thing.
“Yes, but Id like to know what bugs and other listening/spying devices the Obama administration left behind the walls and under the floors in the White House.”
The White House was renovated in 2017.
