How Mueller & President Trump are Pulling the Biggest Sting in History
Liz Crokin Investigative Journalist ^ | 11/08/2017 | Liz Crokin

Posted on 11/08/2017 6:18:30 AM PST by tje

....Trump’s famous “because you’d be in jail” line is constantly rotated throughout the Internet via memes and videos on social media to this day; however, what many seem to have forgotten is the first part of Trump’s statement: he promised to assign a special prosecutor to look into Clinton’s crimes...

... I believe Trump was finalizing his decision to appoint Mueller as his special prosecutor to investigate Clinton. Don’t believe it? Keep reading.

“Don’t be shocked if we find out one of the sealed indictment is for Donald Jr!”

What charge?

“It looks like we agree the scope of the investigation could go completely away from “Trump and his associates”.

“No, I don’t agree with this..I agree that others could get scooped in..like Podesta.”

Basically the same thing.

Why I said there could be no normal transition a few years ago. The fed govt, for all intents and purposes, has been overthrown. Corrupted and politicized by the left.

One of the reasons Trump got elected. Thinking Americans intuitively grasped this and saw Trump as the only way to fight back. There has been a leftist coup, solidified by Obama, and Hillary was supposed to finish us off. The various conspiracy theories, whose side Mueller's on, 4Chan, are ways to deal with our denial that a coup has occurred.

Trump is alone and isolated. I suspect that's why he surrounds himself with military men. The swamp will overplay their hand and continue to block his plans plus demand theirs, e.g. amnesty. On Nov 6, Trump will not have repealed and replaced Obamacare, will not have passed the tax overhaul, and the American people will be so mad at the swamp plus more and more cognizant of the coup, they will turn out in record numbers to vote republican.

There are only two ways to do a counter coup, the ballot box or the cartridge box. I vote we primary them all and do what we can to get them elected on Nov 6.

A: Who were NPR’s two sources?

NPR never says.

B: How do you know the Monday interview was NPR’s first mention of the Ruddy info? I.e.: something led to NPR’s interview of Ruddy. NPR wouldn’t interview a conservative friend of Trump’s just for the pleasure. In some venue NPR most likely got the info from Ruddy and released it, and then followed up with an interview.

I believe you are confusing the June 12th PBS interview and the June 9th NPR article.

No, my link does not say the story was first published on the 13th. It says it was last UPDATED on the 13th: ‘CBS NEWS Last Updated Jun 13, 2017 8:59 PM EDT’ Here is the quote that clarifies the source: ‘The interview was first mentioned by Trump friend and Newsmax CEO Chris Ruddy in an interview on PBS’ “NewsHour” Monday evening.’

The CBS article, last updated on June 13th, refers to Chris Ruddy's June 12th comments to PBS.

Link

In the June 12th PBS interview of Chris Ruddy, Ruddy claims that Mueller met with Trump, but he makes no mention of how he knows that the meeting occurred.

Link

In a Newsmax (Chris Ruddy is CEO) article written on June 9th, Newsmax says, that NPR reported, also on June 9th, that Mueller met with WH officials. Newsmax makes no mention of who the NPR sources are.

Link

NPR, in their June 9th article, also makes no mention of who their sources are.

Link

The Dailey Caller on June 13th, also refers to the June 9th NPR interview, and they say that the meeting between the two has only now been confirmed by their own unnamed source.

Link

Various sources have reported that PS Sean Spicer has denied that there ever was such a meeting.

Reading through all of these links rather quickly, what I can conclude is that the origin of the story, that Trump and Mueller held a meeting, are unnamed sources from NPR and the Dailey Caller.

If you see something different, please give me a ping.

LOL! You believe Podesta?? Give me a break.

I believe Podesta and the Clintons will trash the people that they fear. So far Podesta and the Clintons have trashed Fox and they have not trashed Mueller.

So I guess the Mueller indictments of Pedestal and Hillary will happen any day now. Right??

LOLOLOL!

Give me a break.

I have posted a quote saying Ruddy was the source of the report, along with evidence that in fact NPR did identify their two sources (Ruddy and an unnamed WH official). If you prefer not to believe it, that’s your choice.

https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/06/15/press-gaggle-principal-deputy-press-secretary-sarah-sanders-6152017

...Q Sarah, on Bob Mueller, is there anything you can tell us more about when he came in to interview for the job, what the President was looking at offering him? Was it acting FBI director? Was it actually FBI director? Why didn’t the White House tell us more about that at the time when you did announce other people who were coming in for the director job?

MS. SANDERS: My understanding is he was actually here the day before he was named as a special counsel. In terms of specific job, whether it was acting or permanent, I’m not sure, and I’d have to check and get back to you.

Q But it was a job interview?

MS. SANDERS: That’s my understanding, yes...

RC is a Hashtag uh, nevertrumper.

If it hurts, or could hurt Trump, she will argue until hell freezes over hoping it is true.

An unnamed WH official is an unnamed source. If you would prefer not to believe that, that's your choice.

The June 9 NPR article that I linked to doesn't mention any named source. If you want to think that it does, that's your choice.

As an official Trump spokesman, one can assume that she has the correct information, although she never mentions how she comes to know it.

Thanks for the link.

Obama did shut them down. It’s a simple fact.

“Patience. I trust President Trump has the interests of America at heart. He is no one’s fool. Patience.”

Very important point.

Trump’s executive power can do it.

Matter of national security. He can stamp it classified, top secret, in part or entirely.

Especially if that private investigator was a member of the same private club as the thief.

There are simply dots that haven’t been connected. Not illegal. Could be secret, if Trump has made things classified.
