Much of America Will Not Tolerate Mueller Undoing the Election
Watergate ended with a whimper, not a bang. After months of sturm und drang, Richard Nixon finally mounted that helicopter, gave that famous farewell peace sign and flew away. Most Americans were relieved to see him go. Our long national nightmare was over.
If something similar happens to Donald Trump, it will be entirely different. A significant portion of the American public myself admittedly among them will be convinced he has been railroaded in a partisan hatchet job. The voters who elected the president are going to feel, at the very least, undermined, more likely betrayed, by their own government and public officials. Many are going to feel this has nothing to do whatsoever with justice and will act accordingly.
The exact results of this mammoth national split are not easy to predict but they could range from massive civil disobedience to outright civil war.
The behavior of special prosecutor Robert Mueller has exacerbated the situation. Even CNN admits he has staffed his investigation almost exclusively with Democratic Party supporters and donors. It's hard to say whether this is brazen or stupid or both, but it certainly doesn't lend credibility to his eventual decisions. At the very least it's extremely unsophisticated for a former director of the FBI but perhaps that's really the way it is. Nothing (and no one) can stand in the way of prosecution.
And then there are the leaks that emerge from his supposedly confidential investigation at seemingly a mile a minute pace.....

Chris King democide a day ago
oh, he totally needed to consult with trump on this.
to give up control of the DOJ before power was even consolidated?
mueller is commanding the entire DOJ... through his bootlicker rosenstein.
routine staff ignore sessions on a day to day basis... and speed dial mueller.

I'll ask the same question I posted before. Where did you ever get the idea that Mueller and his team are looking into Trump's business dealings before he ran for election? Let me guess ... from some media report based on "unnamed sources close to the administration" (or some other such nonsense) that you read on the internet in the last couple of days.
These people in the media are jerking you around, and you don't even realize it.
Mueller for PRISON!
Lock Mueller Up!
4TH AMENDMENT
Unreasonable searches and seizures are illegal.
People are secure in their papers and possessions.
Ken Star was working under a different law. The democrats replaced it with the law we have now, which is much more constrained. Muller is going to find that out soon . . . very soon.
It’s a cryin’ shame that shootouts at FBI HQ are frowned upon.
If Mueller goes outside his jurisdiction in this matter, then Rosenstein wouldn't even be the one to address it. AG Jeff Sessions would deal with Mueller at that point, since his recusal was only based on matters related to the 2016 campaign.
Why do you think Session is still there, despite the near-certainty you saw here on FreeRepublic the other day that he would surely resign after President Trump humiliated him in his New York Times interview?
And it's really strange someone on a conservative forum is deeding his Comey’s best friend Mueller and this debacle of an investigation which is a coup and is treason, when anyone fair would ask for Mueller to recuse himself because he is friends with Comey.
Comey and Mueller are trying to take down Trump which is sedition and treason. Both must be hung for Treason.
OK -- I give up.
You go right ahead and do that. I'll reimburse you for the cost of the rope, OK?
/sarcasm off/
That should be your first clue that maybe things aren't what you think they are. I've been here on FreeRepublic for more than 16 years and have made over 68,000 posts in that time. Please forgive me for not accepting every sensationalist headline I see on the internet as the gospel truth.
That's an interesting approach. Hadn't considered it. The ONLY investigations that left sessions hands and went to Rosenstein are those relating to the campaign. Rosenstein can;t grant jurisdiction to Mueller, that Rosenstein doesn't have control over in the first place. Rosenstein can't take part of Sessions' portfolio and give it to Mueller.
I was just looking at 600.4, and that obliges Mueller to consult with Rosenstein on jurisdiction revisions; and 600.7 empowers Rosenstein to inquire of Mueller ...
the Attorney General may request that the Special Counsel provide an explanation for any investigative or prosecutorial step, and may after review conclude that the action is so inappropriate or unwarranted under established Departmental practices that it should not be pursued.
Mueller is Rosenstien's creation in the first place, and Rosenstein is obliged to police the authorizations that he grants.
But sessions has a right to butt in too, to demand assurance from Mueller and Rosenstein, that Mueller has limited himself to matters that are inside Sessions' recusal.
-- Why do you think Session is still there, despite the near-certainty you saw here on FreeRepublic the other day that he would surely resign after President Trump humiliated him in his New York Times interview? --
From Trump's point of view, because Trump was either trolling NYT, or was just going off half cocked.
From Sessions' point of view, same reasons. In the alternative, Sessions saw it as earnest (but if you think about Trump's whinge, it is unfair and a false accusation), and blew it off as not in the best interest of Trump or the country. Sessions is in no way, hindering Trump; and Sessions would not be of any real help in disposing of the trap that Comey set. Trump isn't helpless without Sessions.
Anyone who thinks Mueller and Commey 2 Washington swamp creatures have a shred of honesty in them needs to have their head examined. These kind of goons put innocent people like Scooter Libby, Tom Delay , and Martha Stewert in prison for political reasons and because of fake news. I guess that's ok with you too.
Trump saved us from the Abyss. The only reason any of you have freedom , a free Internet, and property is because of Trump who is massively reducing the millions of pages of government regulations Clinton,Bush and Obama added:
Obama and Clinton and Bush were adding close to 100,000 pages of government regulations per year . Continuing that with Pence or Hillary will destroy America completely.

In my investigation, I’ve found zero proof that the traitor Mueller can muster even a squad of snowflake wimps to withstand an assault by 50 divisions of armed unorganized militia.
Mueller needs to find a hole to crawl into and shut up.
“The Saturday Night Massacre refers to U.S. President Richard Nixon’s orders to fire independent special prosecutor Archibald Cox, which led to the resignations of Attorney General Elliot Richardson and Deputy Attorney General William Ruckelshaus on October 20, 1973, during the Watergate scandal.[1][2]”
That was the end for Nixon and today’s Progressives have plans of repeating. The are thinking of using John McCain in the role of Barry Goldwater (a thought that sickens me, a fan of Goldwater not McCain).
The difference is that Nixon actually did something very wrong but not necessarily worthy of impeachment.
After about a week, those senators who had urged Nixon to fight were replaced by a Goldwater group that told him to get out of D.C. while he could.
C.
Correct me if I am not remembering this right, but didn’t Mr. DeLay stay out of jail and was freed on appeal?
Trump isn’t leaving.
Period. Full stop. End of story.
Scooter Libby was prosecuted by a Republican.
Martha Stewart should have simply kept her mouth shut and never spoken to the FBI in the first place.
Tom DeLay was run through the wringer in a Texas state court, so I'm not sure what the D.C. political establishment has to do with it.
He said the "Saturday Night Massacre" really didn't play as big a role in the whole thing as most people think. It was the tape recordings that did Nixon in, not the fallout from the "Saturday Night Massacre."
The tapes were certainly central to the weakening of Nixons stonewall. The massacre was were Nixon panicked. We could probably debate all night. The main reason I brought it up is that the same trap has been set for Trump.
