Trump presses for probe into origins of Russia investigation
Washington Times ^ | 4/03/19 | Dave Boyer

**SNIP**

And the president now is pressing for a new probe into how and why his campaign came under investigation by the FBI in the first place.

“According to polling, few people seem to care about the Russian Collusion Hoax, but some Democrats are fighting hard to keep the Witch Hunt alive,” the president tweeted Thursday. “They should focus on legislation or, even better, an investigation of how the ridiculous Collusion Delusion got started - so illegal!”

Mr. Trump told reporters Tuesday, “I hope they now go and take a look at the origins of the investigation, the beginnings of the investigation. You look at the origin of the investigation, where it started, how it started, who started it. Whether it’s [former FBI Deputy Director Andrew] McCabe or [former FBI Director James] Comey or a lot of them, where does it go? How high up in the White House did it go?”

Mr. Comey said he has nothing to hide, but worries that the president’s call to investigate him and others who started the Russia probe would be a “dangerous step.”

As President, can’t he order an investigation?

Stop whining and arrest Comey, McCabe, Brennan, Clapper and Lynch. Otherwise this plot to rig a Presidential election goes unpunished and you look like a chump who does not know how to exercise power.

...Mr. Comey said on CNN Tuesday night. “Investigate what? Investigate that investigations were conducted? What would be the crime you’d be investigating?

Umm...

Collusion with foreign entities to influence an election...

Lying to Congress and the FISA court...

Unlawful spying on American citizens...

Money laundering...

Fomenting insurrection with the intent on instituting a coup?

...

Treason?

Why is he still waiting to release the FISA DOCS?

Barr is a Bushie coverup artist.

A deal was reached, he’s helping to protect Trump from the worst of the Bush machine attacks(e.g., against his kids and SIL), while making sure that Team Trump doesn’t expose the many, heinous, Bush-machine crimes.

In many ways, it seems Trump is, too...

All he has to do is appoint someone to begin the investigation and it’ll start today.

His tweets about this are getting tiresome. It’s time to take action.

Past time...

If this comes to nothing then it is a colossal failure of no one but President Trump.

He hired the AG. He could have thrown a dart at the membership roll of FR and come up with an excellent choice who already would have had hired a prosecutor to go after the evil attacking this country. If Trump didn’t know exactly what he was getting in Barr and Barr fails, then shame on Trump.

“Apparently our new AG is also a limp wrist.“

Other than in their zeal to involve us in new wars, all Bushite swampers are limp wristed.

Bring me the right hand of the attorney general who did not begin the investigation as I ordered above.

Because after he releases, he loses leverage.

And, depending on where the trail of involvement leads, there may be issues both domestic AND foreign to deal with.

MEMO TO PRESIDENT: Mueller did not examine the origin of the case because he would have found that a fraud was worked on the FISA court. He then would have had to charge an FBI agent or the DNC. That was untinkable to Mueller because:

1.he is a former director of the FBI, and

2. he is a democrat.

He had his sights on (ONLY) the president.

Why was the Mueller investigation easy peasy and investigating Clinton,which is the real treason and collusion, like pulling teeth? Mr. President just needs to DO IT ALREADY!!!

Meanwhile, Barr is busy redacting the Mueller report to protect the guilty. Hopefully, he’ll get around to prosecuting some of them and lock her up!

Fault Mueller for not examining the probable cause of his own investigation. Was it a legal investigation? I think not!
