Obama's WH Ethics Chief (Shaub) 'Stocking Up' For 'When We Take The Streets' Over A Mueller Firing
Fox News ^ | 12-18-2017

Posted on 12/18/2017 6:04:57 AM PST by blam

Former President Barack Obama's White House ethics lawyer warned of "taking to the streets" in the case Robert Mueller is fired from the special investigation into President Trump.

Shaub held the position of Director of the U.S. Office for Government Ethics from 2013 through July 2017, when he submitted his resignation to Trump.

Shaub said at the time that Trump has created an environment where ethics don't matter.

This week, Shaub tweeted that he registered for a left-wing group's planned Capitol Hill protest, set to commence when and if Trump fires Mueller.

I have been much against firing Mueller because the swamp draining has been proceeding apace through or around and over him, even if not what he is trying to do. He is being used. That said, the desperation and hyperbole expressed by the likes of this guy and of Holder tell me maybe it is time to fire Mueller. Or maybe this a briar patch thing. Maybe they are all trying to get Mueller out of there. I guess the only useful attitude now is “we shall see what we shall see.”

Robert Mueller shall not be fired, at least not by the Trump Administration, but he will become more and more irrelevant, regardless of how much he spends or the multitude of “legal experts” (at defending Hillary Clinton) he may hire. Essentially, the team is “kicking themselves upstairs”, where they may appear to be doing a prestige job, but it will be a long-term sham.

No credibility, and no results if they continue to pursue the current goals. The best they shall ever do is come with “process crimes”, essentially catching some underling in a lie and zealously pursuing that as leverage to get those unfortunates to lie FOR them.

That was one of the first things I thought of when I saw his picture. I can hear him snorting over his food and pulling away from the table - albeit with help - with food stains on his shirt and tie. He has a face you’d like to put a fist or a foot through...

He is just trying to lay the groundwork for Dems crying and impeaching if it happens. The Dem lawyers already leaked to their buddies nothing is coming out of this “investigation”. Trump is kinda happy with it since it also exposed the deep state!

That's rich coming from someone who worked for Soetoro.

And Eric Holder is saying the same thing.

All of the Soros stooges work in tandem.

Nothing speaks more about Obama’s ethics than trying to get the useful idiots to riot in the streets for Christmas.


Hey, give Shaub a break.

He was Obama ‘s Ethics Czar for 8 years.

After an 8 year holiday, the guys gotta be bored to death and starved for some action.

They can’t take it to the streets because Trump has their number...

The left is like a gang of street thugs coming face to face with a team of trained Delta Force dudes out of Tampa... the street thugs sense this might NOT be the ‘easy pickins’ they were looking for...

Look what has come out... the truth of what the Obama-Clinton cabal did to our DOJ, our FBI, and virtually everything they touched has been coming out.

They unmasked citizens unlawfully.

They colluded with the FBI and DOJ to work against the campaign of the opposition party.

They politicized intel.

They politicized everything they touched in the most despicable way...there was an organized, political cabal at the FBI that worked against Trump not only during the campaign, but ever since. from: https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3614633/posts

Truth's coming out... deep state's criminal and ugly - Trump knows their game and Holder's not going to be a problem. https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3614633/posts
