Market Watch ^ | Aug 3, 2017 | Steve Goldstein

Special Counsel Robert Mueller has impaneled a grand jury in Washington to investigate Russia's interference in the 2016 elections, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing two people familiar with the matter. That's a sign that his inquiry is growing in intensity and entering a new phase, the report said. Legal experts quoted by the newspaper say the move suggests he believes he will need to subpoena records

Yeah, I agree that Sessions should not have recused himself. But even after he did, they had a Trump appointee, whom Priebus had pushed for the job, in Rod Rosenstein—who was the one who named a special counselor.

And Trump had Priebus in office to make that recommendation because he foolishly listened to Jivanka’s foolish pushing to give him the position.

What form? A police/surveillance state with limits on what can be said and done. Liberty will be gone and the citizen subjects will do what they are told or else. Also, unlimited immigration will resume to replace the recalcitrant fly over country middle class.

We’ve been played big time by Obama, Dems, GOPE, NSA, CIA, FBI.
Obama changed the rules to allow confidential information to be released, unmasking of 1,000 people. Leaks to the press, cooperation of the press to pound the Russia collusion theory.

Got rid of Flynn, Sessions recused himself. Nunes raced to get confidential information, resulting in him having to recuse himself.

McMasters getting rid of Trump supporters, giving Rice her security clearance back.

Trump has some of the best attorneys yet McMaster is allowed to do what he is doing.

GOPE siding with the Dems so Trump can’t do his promises to America.

The news silence on Pakistani IT scandal, Wasserman, etc.

Not one of Obama’s people indicted at this point. They skate. GOP not pressing any charges, not stopping the hearings. They cave every time.

16 lawyers with ties to Clinton and Obama allowed to investigate under Mueller. Rosenstein doesn’t feel there is a conflict of interest. Does nothing.

Today transcripts of Trump and Mexico President released with Trump telling Pres of Mexico to say “they won’t pay for the wall”.

The only thing we managed to do was slow down the death of our country. 62 million people voted to try and turn things around but we are defenseless against the deep state.

Trump is allowing McMaster to do what he is doing and I don’t understand why.

Obviously Mueller impaneled the grand jury because he can’t find proof of Russian election hacking.

In other words, nothing they’ve found supports the collusion delusion, so now they need to look even further.

I hope it’s a military dictatorship. We are likely to be at war soon and if it goes nuclear we won’t be talking about Russian “collusion”. I think it’s quit possible.

Being President is not like being a New York real estate grifter.

Why are you slandering our president at a time such as this?

Grifter? Do you even know what a grifter is? I truly hope you don't, because it's something I wouldn't even call most RINOs, let alone a patriot like Trump.

That’s a very good point. Any information relied on by Mueller was illegally leaked by government agents to the press. It is all the fruit of the poisonous tree, and cannot lead agents to support an investigation they would never have even known to commence. Another grounds to shut this down.

Well said and a great summary of how the political culture deteriorated with Obama and the Clintons. . They are emboldened. We have a lot to overcome. Education is the key. Fight on folks!

Kind of a stretch to find an insult in anything I said. You winge and someone dismisses you for it and you take it as an insult? You have nothing to offer beyond writing off patriots as a bunch of big mouthed, tough-talking pussies. I could have been insulted by your despairing implication but who cares? I know what I have in me, something that is clearly lacking in you. I hope that what is coming at us like a freight train never actually gets here. I hope Trump quadruple cHess plays these bastards off the table. You know, some kind of dues ex machina. But there IS a redline, for anyone of any account. I’m sorry for you that you are so lackling in Spirit or experience that the existence of True Resolve is impossible to you. There are a gazillion examples of it in history but YOU can’t see it because apparently you didn’t see it rise immeadiately when you thought it should. Well THAT sort of deadly denial or procrastination is all over history (you might have noticed) but it doesn’t preclude Men taking Responsibility eventually. You however seem to think it does. Ok. You have nothing to offer. You enjoy bitching? Taking Responsibility is a terrible implacable thing. No one will be happy when the moment comes. No one.

Actually, I think the way it worked was Starr found or was handed information on other subjects, such as perjury, and his mandate was amended to include that under the law that existed at that time. That law expired, and now, there is no way to have a special counsel unless the DOJ appoints one. Holder was Obama’s firewall, no matter what. Trump needed that, and instead, he got a chump who was easily rolled.

The Clintons were so corrupt, if you looked under one rock, there was a trail of blood leading to another. In this case, it is a phony witch hunt, and the comparison is inapt. Even if you have the Special Counsel, which I think was stupid, you can still limit the scope of the investigation. That Starr, under a different law and faced with an historically corrupt president, followed actual crimes and then found more actual crimes, is not relevant to whether Mueller’s mandate should have ever been given, and once given, been limited.

Yes they could. And are. They are blinded by hate. Hate prevents one from thinking rationally. Hate makes one do irrational things. All they can see is them killing us.

That’s the problem with special councils they can create whatever they want and with a cooperative media make it stick.
That said in the end they will have to deal with us. And we are not going away quietly!!

There is nothing to find. They will be making stuff up and taking small ops and making them seem much bigger. The big thing to watch for are the perjury traps. All they need is one person giving a different answer on any question and they have an opening.
The obama adm. survived because of crooked lawyers and those same crooked lawyers are not trying to take down an honest America loving, for real, President.
We have to make sure they don't.

Remember in 2000 with the recount(Gore Vs Florida) how the media made such a fuss about Katherine Harris being connected to Bush and how that was a HUGE conflict of interest..notice how that same media doesn’t bat an eye about Mueller and ALL of his connections to the Democrat party..guess its all good when the shoe is on the other foot

He didn’t have to hire any generals if there weren’t good and loyal ones, loyal to his agenda, available. He has put three of them in what would regularly be seen as civilian-type positions.
