WASHINGTON — Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel, has asked the White House for documents about some of President Trump’s most scrutinized actions since taking office, including the firing of his national security adviser and F.B.I. director, according to White House officials.
Mr. Mueller is also interested in an Oval Office meeting Mr. Trump had with Russian officials in which he said the dismissal of the F.B.I. director had relieved “great pressure” on him.
The document requests provide the most details to date about the breadth of Mr. Mueller’s investigation, and show that several aspects of his inquiry are focused squarely on Mr. Trump’s behavior in the White House.
In recent weeks, Mr. Mueller’s office sent a document to the White House that detailed 13 different areas that investigators want more information about. Since then, administration lawyers have been scouring White House emails and asking officials whether they have other documents or notes that may pertain to Mr. Mueller’s requests.
One of the requests is about a meeting Mr. Trump had in May with Russian officials in the Oval Office the day after James B. Comey, the F.B. I director, was fired. That day, Mr. Trump met with the Russian foreign minister, Sergey V. Lavrov, and the Russian ambassador to the United States, Sergey I. Kislyak, along with other Russian officials. The New York Times reported that in the meeting Mr. Trump said that firing Mr. Comey relieved “great pressure” on him.

He endorsed Democrat Karan English in an Arizona congressional race, urged Republicans to lay off Bill Clinton over the Whitewater scandal, and criticized the military's ban on homosexuals:[91] He said that "Everyone knows that gays have served honorably in the military since at least the time of Julius Caesar"[98] and that "You don't need to be 'straight' to fight and die for your country. You just need to shoot straight."[99

One either has values, or they don't. Don't ever call me dumb.
Mueller is about to cross a line he thinks he wants to cross but he really doesn’t.
No threat exists. It has become a dog and pony show and if you can't see that, then you're part of it. The initial charge was Russian meddling and that is going to stick. So, now, like Scooter Libby, we have the Democrats searching for a fall guy. Cut his head off before he can bite another essentially innocent person. Do not name call. Answer with a logical argument.
It appears you do not have enough command of the English language to even be able to respond without an ad hominem attack. Come on....
Wow...just wow.
Previous was a typo. Correcting above.
Wow is all you have? Start writing man, woman, transgender or whatever you are, you don’t have all day.
My point of view is the accusatory environment is this, one had either better be right and telling the truth, or the punishment should be public caning for WHOEVER has been disingenuous, deceitful or outright lying. No quarter. No mercy. Not any more.
If they want to get you America’s secret police will charge you with spitting on the sidewalk thirty years ago. This issue was absurd from the moment Mueller hired fifteen lawyers for his staff.
I have absolutely no idea why you are talking about fags...
Trump’s reply should be, “I’ll do it when I have a bit more flexibility and at this point, what difference does it make?”
Did you know that a President could commit murder and there could never be an indictment for that under the separation of powers provisions in the Constitution.There is absolutely no question about that. They only remedy is impeachments and they will NEVER get 67 votes. That being the case this is lunacy. Executive privilege applies and the President can grant himself clemency or a pardon. Clemency is even in advance of an indictment or conviction. The solution here is to indict Hillary clinton for bribery and violations of the espionage act and to remove mueller for conflicts of interest out his kazoo.
IMO, you are quite foolish to trust the GOP* on this. They, the GOP*, don't want Trump to continue in office any more than the RATS do.
*...NB....no "e"
>including the firing of his national security adviser and F.B.I. director,
Kookie Muller need to go screw. He’s pals with the guy he’s butthurt investigating for. RECUSE YOURSELF, hack.
Maxine Waters said that it would’ve been justified for Hitlery Rotten Clinton to fire Comey stain.
These Rats are fishing and that’s all.
LOL. I don’t think you made an idiot out of yourself ... but go ahead and have a drink anyway!
2. Jeff Sessions hasn't resigned.
I look at these two facts and can only conclude that President Trump is perfectly fine with AG Sessions, and vice versa.
Can this wait that long?
Mueller is nothing more than a SPY, SPYING ON TRUMP on behalf of the deep state that LOST the election.
For historical comparison Janet Reno appointed Robert Fiske as Special Prosecutor for The Clintons/Whitewater in January, 1994. In August, 1994 Ken Starr replaced Fiske as Special Prosecutor.
In September, 1998 the final report on Whitewater, White House Travel Office, Vince Foster Suicide, Missing FBI files & Monica Lewinsky was released by Ken Starr. On December 19, 1998 the House of Representatives began impeachment hearings. So four years.
