Mueller Is Circling the Drain
American Thinker ^ | April 26, 2019 | Spike Hampson

Posted on 04/26/2019 9:54:52 AM PDT by onyx



Certain aspects of the process whereby Robert Mueller was appointed special counsel challenge the legitimacy of the entire undertaking.  To understand them, we must dip into the legalese surrounding the appointment process, but at least that weighty language is mercifully short.

Please read Rod Rosenstein's letter appointing Robert Mueller as special counsel.  

The first thing to notice is that Rosenstein's letter explicitly directs Mueller to investigate Trump-Russia collusion and only incidentally extends his investigatory purview to other matters.  In short, it does not say Mueller should investigate general Russian government efforts to meddle in our election process.  Mueller was free to investigate Russian meddling, but his only true directive was to investigate the Trump campaign.

Recent babble about how the Mueller report did wonderful things to expose Russian misdeeds that did not involve the Trump campaign is misdirectional nonsense.  Mueller was never directed to look into Russian meddling in our election. He wasn't disposed to do such a thing seriously.  It's true he indicted several Russians for their social media shenanigans, but that was a superficial effort.  

The second thing to notice in Rosenstein's letter is that it explicitly defines the special counsel's work as a continuation of Crossfire Hurricane — the FBI counterintelligence investigation of the Trump campaign.  Everyday now, new releases of previously hidden information are exposing that investigation as an effort to frame the Trump campaign using a fabricated predicate that had no concrete basis.  Crossfire Hurricane is proving to be a central element in the bloodless coup that conservatives believe was launched to topple Trump, so it follows that the Mueller investigation is complicit.  Most conservatives already think this is the case, but Rosenstein's letter perhaps makes it possible to hold Mueller and his partisan investigators legally responsible to some degree.

It is circling the drain because its news cycle is generally favorable to President Trump. And it’s getting old.

” Everyday now, new releases of previously hidden information are exposing that investigation as an effort to frame the Trump campaign using a fabricated predicate that had no concrete basis. ‘>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Well, .....Duh ?

Anyone following this for the last 18 months knew about this.

Many Freepers wrote about it citing facts known about the about FNI agnet testimony, the various FBI counterintelligence sting/entrapment operations on the campaign, the origins of the completely fabricated MI-6 formated dossier, and the manipulation of the FISA court to surveil private , law abiding citizens , illegally unmasked by Obama.

So why is this being announced as “News?” That’s the honest question.

A few dozen people have to do jail time, and Obama is among them. And they watch , wondering when to break and run to the Arab emirates.

The second honest question is who will run first?

What this entire episode boils down to is that Obama was a pathetic joke of a president to have all this happen on his watch. Now it’s time to find out what HE knew and when HE knew it.

Why didn’t he stop it or at least give Trump a head’s up as would have been proper? Or was HE an active participant?

I think we here already know, now it’s time to fill in the rest of the nation.
