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.

That was true before President Trump came along. They are about to get schooled...
Business. None of yours. Period.
The is by far the biggest use of fraud to de-legitimize our elected government, that has ever been perpetrated.
BTW: I agree with your thoughts there. Should have said so.
If Mueller gets within sniffing distance of hurting Trump, he's finished. And God will leave no doubt as to whose handiwork is responsible.
Thus it is written, thus it shall be done. Amen.
How does Mueller know what was said at that meeting?
“Going well beyond his scope.”
I’ve heard that he has no scope — that he has free rein and no limits. I don’t understand how that can be true.
Mueller should immediately get one White House document, a pink slip.
Is it pitchfork time YET?
I have never been worried for one second that any Russian connection to Trump will be proven.
My worry has always been that this is a distraction being used to run out the clock to keep Trump from implementing his agenda before the midterms, where liberals hope to regain at least 1 of the two legislative branches and then completely stop any implementation of a conservative agenda by Trump from that point forward.
The only reason a special prosecutor is even possible is that establishment Republicans do not support their own President. Democrats don’t have the majority in either House or Senate. There is no way possible for some kangaroo court of a cooked up impeachment on the basis of fictional offenses purportedly committed prior to taking office to hold, if it weren’t for Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan and crew. Mueller needs to be fired, he’s wandered far beyond the scope of the investigation and turned it into a political witch hunt against his own executive, with no possibility of political support outside of Republicans turning on Trump. Trump should throw down the gauntlet and be done with this, or endure this stupidity for the remainder of his term in office because they’re absolutely not going to stop, evidence or the lack of it be damned. They’re casting about for a Scooter Libby perjury trap at best, at the moment.
2045 - Robert S. Mueller IV today demanded documents from the Trump Presidential Library regarding the conception of president Donald S. Trump. It has been alleged that the former president’s conception was a Soviet plot to gain control of the Whitehouse... ...said that the special prosecutor’s remit includes everything about the former presidents life. Although former president Trump passed away in 2032 the democratic party asserts that post-death impeachment is entirely appropriate in the case of a republican former president. The entire democratic Congressss membership, consisting two senators and one member of the house of representatives remain optimistic of their chances of bringing the bill of impeachment to the floor...
The more I watch this Mueller sideshow the more I think Mueller played a part in the Russian Dossier fabrication. I believe he is trying to cover his own rump.
He’s the former head of fbi....the fbi paid for the dossier and now the same fbi names Mueller to investigate a nonexistent crime? I smell something very bad about Mueller.
I would bet the Mueller slime trail leads directly back to George H. W. Bush ....former head of CIA/ president.
Xxxxxxxxxxxx.
I think you’re on to something
Evidently Mueller has more power and authority that the President. And he has no constraints in the Constitution because he is not covered in the Constitution.
He is certainly the creation of Jeff Sessions, but it also goes back to a corrupt Republican caucus.
How would anyone like to be Jeff Sessions. He will be known in history as the first Attorney General Gelding, or the first Trannie Attorney General. Those will be the most generous descriptions.
Attorneys can relate anything to anything else if they want to. Unless someone is willing to supervise and limit Mueller, he can do anything he wants. From the outside, it looks like not only is he not being restricted in any way; he is being encouraged to go where ever he wants and do anything he wants. Further he is working with a District of Columbia Grand Jury. That is almost certainly predominately or completely Democrat and voted for Hillary.
Was Sessions a double agent? This is outrageous.
...
Sessions has always been a staunch conservative and above reproach...I think some found something and he is being blackmailed...I have no other conclusions.
Mueller is trying to nail the President the same way “Scooter” Libby was.
A “process” crime I think it is called.
This prosecutor needs to be shut down immediately.
What can Mueller do?
The answer is nothing.
