All I know at this point is that between his confirmation and this week’s testimony to the senate, he was apparently on some other planet. And since his testimony, he’s apparently gone back to that planet. Our nation is crying for an honest, effective DOJ and AG. Absent that, a political croney Independant Counsel and deep state cretins are running DOJ with leftist, globalist abandon, IMHO.

I read appointment of Mueller for the opposite proposition.

Not sure I understand what you're saying here.

I don't think Mueller will recuse himself out of any sense of duty or ethics.

I think he'll recuse himself because it's become apparent to him that he's been tasked with overseeing an investigation into a fictitious story, and he doesn't want to be remembered as the third name in a running joke with Geraldo Rivera's "Al Capone vault" story and Rachel Maddow's "Trump tax return" story.

He’s not gutless. He’s functioning in a legal capacity and cannot operate like a typical political figure. He has to obey protocols that don’t apply to other administration figures.

There are two choices: Accept the premise of this article or run around like chicken little over the attempt to impeach the President. Being that the lying Traitorous Enemedia gets almost everything wrong WITH EXTREME BIAS, I’ll go with the former. Despite the fact that I don’t trust Rosenstein at all either.

Rosenstein reacting to the Trump tweet, or visa versa? Haven’t heard who spoke out first.

Rosenstein did okay. He neither confirmed nor denied anything, but warned of unknown sources, in order to protect the FBI from accusations of source for leaking.

The media has been dancing on Trump’s grave for months because they could. The FBI happily stood on their “Rules” of silence, allowing the media to go bat shi+ crazy with innuendo and slander stories against Trump, leaving him twisting in the wind alone. Throw in several dark side leaks from the FBI and together with the media, you have a chance to fire up the coup de etat of sitting US president.

That FBI information vacum was filled by the media. It is past time for the FBI to change their rules, or they could get someone assassinated in this climate.

They should have cleared TRUMP last year. They were not investigating him. Look what they allowed to happen to him.
Their official silence fed the media assassins.

Question for anyone.

Can Mueller grant Comey immunity? If so, he must go.

What doesn’t make sense is that Trump’s tweet refers to Rosenstein. Trump must be referring to Muller when he says, “I am being investigated for firing the FBI Director by the man who told me to fire the FBI Director! Witch Hunt”

Is Rosenstein investigating Trump? Not that I’ve heard. So Trump must be saying here that Muller also advised Trump to fire Comey. Which of course shows how ludicrous this whole “investigation” is, if it’s true Muller also advised Comey be fired.

It’s either this, or Trump’s tweet makes no sense whatsoever which would be bad.

Sometimes investigations end with a finding of "nothing to see here." This one happens to be politically motivated, and fills 10-20% of the national dialog (maybe lots more, but a significant amount anyway), and the function of the narrative is to render Trump's presidency illegitimate or tainted. If it is in fact a witch hunt, sliming an innocent person, it is a witch hunt that has taken on huge proportion.

If Mueller figures out it is a witch hunt, his choices are to either allow it to continue, or to start the process of tamping it down.

Mueller is not the Rivera character in the Capone vault caper. Mueller is the audience.

Mueller isn’t going to produce a “report” until October 2020. This will be one time wasting fake drama after another for the next 3+ years. Get ready.

Half of the entertainment of Trump's tweets is that the often make no sense at all. Have you forgotten about the instant cult following generated by THIS already? LMAO.

He is busy cleaning up the DOJ, putting rules and procedures back in place, making sure the DOJ is enforcing the laws, working on the drug and gang problems. Just because you don’t see these guys in front of the cameras doesn’t mean they are not working

Remember the agency has run wild for 8 years

I read Trump's Twitter message and Rosenstein's subsequent statement and have now come to the inescapable conclusion that Trump is not being investigated by Mueller.

Then what did he hire all the new lawyers for and just what is he investigating ?

Journalists know when they're being played...

How do we know?

Because reporters don't accept one source stories THAT MIGHT HURT DEMOCRATS. Leaks that hurt democrats are double and triple checked. A second source is demanded by editors... Few damaging AND false stories about democrats make it to print - ever.

That's how we know journalists are corrupt - - they're not even being pretending to be professional or fair to conservatives.

The mask is off.
