Well, during the Great Tribulation those who are the Sealed of God are told to overcome and have two choices:

Live by the sword and die by the sword

or

become a slave

Happening today all over the world.

Is President Trump hanging himself here?

President Trump might be providing the rope for an all out cornering of them all.

Hitlary and the media can do nothing but squawk, meanwhile more and more people are digging up dirt on them.

Comey pissed off a number of FBI agents when he didn't sucker punch her when he should have.

The more they scream "Russia" the more egg specks we find on Hillary's face.

It is just a matter of time but when it is all said and done there will be no where to hide.

Can a legal beagle Freeper please tell me what limits are placed on a ‘Special Counsel.’

I am not a lawyer so I can't answer that, but let me know when someone answers you, if you don't mind.

Dershowitz would know.

Mueller was hired by Rod Rosenstein, Deputy Attorney General. The task of hiring a Special Counsel fell to Rosenstein when his boss, Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself from participating in the Russia Investigation.
President Donald Trump nominated Rosenstein to serve as Deputy Attorney General for the United States Department of Justice on January 13, 2017. Rosenstein was confirmed by the U.S. Senate on April 25, 2017. In May 2017, he authored a memo which provided the basis for President Trump’s decision to dismiss FBI Director James Comey.

Yes but so what? He is responding to questions posed about a report based on unnamed and anonymous sources. what’s he supposed to say?

They do hate him just as much. He embarrassed them and instead of having insight into why they lost to get one of their establishment guys as the nominee, they instead double down on their backstabbing ways.

First of all, how is that you don’t know Jaime Gorelick is a woman?

Second of all, Gorelick states it would be standard practice to look into anything related to Russia.

And you are going to pretend Mueller wouldn’t look into Kushner and his russian connections...when it would be standard practice to do so.

Yeah sure...whatever

You’ve been talking about the investigation into business practices and money laundering, no?

If the Comey-firing is any guide, Trump may be waiting until everybody is convinced he won’t fire Mueller — then suddenly he’ll do just that.

it appears part of God’s lesson is having enough faith to walk through death doing what is right, all who overcome are spared in the rapture of the church if one believes that way, then the world is so bad that all christians are persecuted to accept the new rulers mark or be killed, it is said that those who take the mark are lost and those who accept death rather than eternal fear though they are killed live..

the world today is formed on the fear of death..trying to stay alive in a world which we are dying in and in the process destroy all of God’s good works..

we will learn faith if we seek..peace in Christ

This is the legal attack on Trump and the Right wing, the communists are bringing money, guns, and lawyers to overthrow the Trump Administration.

Mr Billionaire had best buy a clue and stomp these scumbags down permanently,

Mueller has already committed a fireable offense for hiring partisan democrat lawyers for his circus side show instead non-partisans.

Mueller must be fired by Monday.

If this were to stay on the Russia collusion issue, fine, but the leaks (which are illegal and cause to fire Rosenstein) say they have diverted to looking at financial ties of everyone in the administration. Newt has clearly stated what that means. They can now branch out to anywhere. Tom Fitton, Judicial Watch lawyer says Trump must restrict the scope to only criminal activity involving ties to Russia. Bottom line: Doj deputy Rosenstein is a member of the swamp. Sessions has recused himself. God is Trump’s only hope.

As I said right here on free republic, when he was appointed, it doesn't matter what he's chartered for. Any appointed "special prosecutor" will keep trolling until they find something to justify their existence. They will never exonerate their target. There are so many laws in this formerly free nation, that there is always something. If nothing else, they'll claim you "lied" about something completely related to anything else.
