Special Counsel Mueller Impanels Washington Grand Jury in Russia Probe
WSJ ^ | 08/03/2017 | Del Quentin Wilber and Byron Tau

Posted on 08/03/2017 12:44:15 PM PDT by GIdget2004

Special Counsel Robert Mueller has impaneled a grand jury in Washington to investigate Russia’s interference in the 2016 elections, a sign that his inquiry is growing in intensity and entering a new phase, according to two people familiar with the matter.

The grand jury, which began its work in recent weeks, is a sign that Mr. Mueller’s inquiry is ramping up and that it will likely continue for months. Mr. Mueller is investigating Russia’s efforts to influence the 2016 election and whether President Donald Trump’s campaign or associates colluded with the Kremlin as part of that effort.

A spokesman for Mr. Mueller, Joshua Stueve, declined to comment. Moscow has denied seeking to influence the election, and Mr. Trump has vigorously disputed allegations of collusion. The president has called Mr. Mueller’s inquiry a “witch hunt.”

Ty Cobb, special counsel to the president, said he wasn’t aware that Mr. Mueller had started using a new grand jury. “Grand jury matters are typically secret,” Mr. Cobb said. “The White House favors anything that accelerates the conclusion of his work fairly.…The White House is committed to fully cooperating with Mr. Mueller.”

The charade and waste of taxpayer money continues. I think the Starr Report was more valuable than this.


Kenneth Starr’s Grandfather was in the OSS and founded AIG (the Insurance company with CIA ties).

You don’t get to the level of special counsel or special investigator unless you are part of the deep state.

We are no longer a Constitutional Republic. And the President is in very serious jeopardy.

Question is: WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?


Answer: Not a damn thing.

The majority, even of people who care about this country, are too fat and comfortable to rock this boat.

As far as I can see, they ALL are as dirty as they come. IF Trump had not been elected, we would not know the extent of the corruption and they would have continued forever... They hate the man who upset their cozy corrupt gold basket of goodies!

And along with that, it’s taken years to get anyone with the power to do something, to deal with hillary and bill. And it will take another “years” to get them to see the deaths they have left in their quest for power. Tell me this is any different than other countries where they take out anyone in their way.. to get the power they seek. The powers that be are hell bent on ignoring the fact hillary, obama, lynch, rice and many others, are guilty of treasonous crimes against the United States and the people! We have pushed a long time and Hannity won’t let go of it either.. Sara Carter, Tom Fitton and a few more, have done the work of what congress is supposed to do.. they get paid for NOTHING! And they are dragging their feet to do anything yet!

Also, there was a report that bo threatened hillary and bill and when that didn’t work, the report was sent back to them that it would be their daughter next.. that worked.
There was a prophetic report that bo would be hng for trea-son against the U S. I don’t think we do that any more, but is interesting to see what he’s done is that serious. The one difference is a foreign government... but that probably has been included also.. where there’s money, there is hillary’s pocket.
Hannity has been on a tear on his radio show today.. he’s angry... next up is Sara Carter.

But he didn't say what it really was.

Very careful with his words.

Hey, Wall Street Journal !
That's PRESIDENT TRUMP to you; NOT Mr. Trump !


With EIGHT Democrats on the temporary assignment of the Twelve, HOW can we expect JUSTICE to be done ?

And ... WHY isn't Debbie Wassermann Schultz, the REAL CRIMINAL that hired the spies ... that started this REAL THREAT to our NATIONAL SECURITY, being investigated by this panel of MOSTLY DemocRATS ?

Well, just how many DemocRATS are likely to be EXPOSED if the real TRUTH COMES OUT ?

Reference Debbie Wasserman Schultz's hired spies: And there's this link Wasserman Schultz IT Staffer "Frantically" Liquidating $2 Million In Real Estate Assets SOOOOOOOOO .... that's AT LEAST 30 DemocRATS that are worried about being EXPOSED !

The Democratic National Committee REFUSED to allow their computers and servers to be searched for evidence.
WHY ?
I propose that
Consider the following information about the SO CALLED Russian Hacking.
I believe it was the Democratic National Committee who was DOING the hacking and leaving FALSE TRACES of the Russians.
We MUST INVESTIGATE the Democratic National Committee's servers ! ! !

Let's review a few pieces of history, such as: Now based on the articles linked above, I propose to you that it is VERY POSSIBLE AND CREDIBLE
On the other side of the issue is: Now, I trust former Senator Jim DeMint, and I trust Rush and Glenn.
But all former Senator Jim DeMint has is the document he was shown and briefed upon, and they came from a corrupted agency under Obama and his minions.

In closing, let me make it clear that

Under Obama, the IRS was weaponized, one AG was held in contempt of Congress, the other AG was corrupt as all hell, five Americans died, 20% of the US’ uranium resource was sold to the Russians while the SOS got richer, etc....yet no Special Prosecutor was ever appointed.

Yet, we have a_holes like PeeRINO, Napolitano, etc. telling us that this orchestrated appointment of Mueller under false pretenses is all good and will work itself out because there is nothing we can do about it. ARE THEY SERIOUS?

They’re using a DC grand jury. Everyone in DC hates Trump. It’s rigged.

Everybody worries me. Is there one fucking person in DC who can legitimately be considered one of the good guys? Even Trump’s own appointments have no sense of loyalty whatsoever. Could you imagine a single Obama appointee openly stabbing Obama in the back like this? They’d find him in Marcy Park, the victim of “self-inflicted” gun-shot wound. There would be no investigation and no media coverage.

Absolutely. The South and the mid west states are never going to fight one another. If a complete collapse of the Federal govt occurs (after the currency collapses) governors will step in. I see some states becoming independent and forming new alliances with other states. Yes, that is how I see it.

I like to think of the USA as a big piece of glass. The state borders are etched into that glass. If you drop the whole thing on the floor it will break along those etched lines. It’s just common sense.

That is what has me screaming. The fact that Comey squashed and this nothing burger drones on. None of them gave a flying fig about Russia, or national security being compromised, leaks, etc. Until November 10th, 2017. Are they trying to bait us into reaction?

Just starting. Now they’ll get witnesses to testify under oath and will get them on technicalities.

Mueller is convening a DC grand jury to take the heat off himself personally despite any outcome.......and to provide tons of make-work hours for his huge Dem-donor legal staff of ambulance chasers and cronies.

The grand jury panel will consist of DC government employees (or family members thereof), Democrats, liberals, socialists, progressives, marxists plus oppressed ethnics and minorities of any stripe.

Don't bet on the outcome.....
