Dirty Cops Mueller and Comey Held Secret Meeting Before Comey Testified to Congress
The Gateway Pundit ^ | December 28, 2017 | Jim Hoft

Shortened title.

Full title: Dirty Cops Mueller and Comey Held Secret Meeting Before Comey Testified to Congress – For This Alone Mueller Should Resign!

There are many reasons why the entire Trump – Russia investigation is a farce.  One major reason is the fact that Special Counsel Robert Mueller and Former FBI Director James Comey have a relationship that taints the investigation. The fact that they met secretly before Comey’s testimony to Congress in June is enough evidence to contaminate the entire investigation. At the very least Mueller should have recused himself months ago.

Back in May after crooked Comey was fired by President Trump, Comey was asked to appear in front of Congress.  Comey however, postponed his meeting with Congress because he wanted to meet with Special Counsel and best friend Robert Mueller before appearing in front of the Senate.

Sessions put on a good show. As 1 of a 100, he could afford to. The swamp always won, so Sessions’ votes were irrelevant.

But the instant Sessions got into a leadership/decisive role, he unnecessarily recused. Or put another way, his true colors showed at last.

I don’t think Sessions is playing 4-D chess and what I know is NONE of your frigging business. There are things being done and you don’t really need to know by whom. It is SOP.

Yeah, sure, I’ll believe it when it actually happens.

“As long as Sessions refuses to act, nothing can happen. He is the only person that can charge and prosecute.”

Yet, we have already had indictments and people pleading guilty to charges, so obviously this is false.

“In some ways it is Trumps fault for appointing him but now he is entrenched. Until we determine why Sessions is compromised we can do nothing.”

Not really. All executive branch appointees constitutionally serve at the pleasure of the President. He could fire Sessions today, and Congress might raise a stink, but short of impeaching him, there is nothing they could do about it.

“What exactly has Q predicted that has actually happened? Nothing has happened to either of the Podestas.”

Yeah, Q predicted that Tony Podesta would be indicted. He was not.

A search warrant was served on Podesta’s lobbying firm, but that was BEFORE Q made his prediction. So it was already common knowledge Podesta was being investigated, and you can’t count just naming Podesta as some sort of successful “prediction”. The prediction was an indictment, within a week, and that is a failed prediction.

“the GOP Senate told Trump they wouldn’t confirm a new AG if he fired Sessions — and they wouldn’t go on recess, either ... so he couldn’t make a recess appointment”

Big whup. So Trump just appoints acting AGs even if they aren’t confirmed. An acting AG can still do anything that needs be done.

Haha, yeah it’s such a “top secret” operation that they post about it on 4Chan and twitter, where nobody could ever find out about it!

Thanks for that factual input Bm. It was my understanding that Q has made no accurate predictions, but confirmation is appreciated.

The president doesn’t appoint an “acting AG.” If Sessions leaves his post, the Deputy AG (Rod Rosenstein) becomes the acting AG until a replacement is confirmed or a recess appointment is made.

Are you trying to illict a response or just plain stupid? There have been Indictments. They have nothing to do with the Swamp. False premise to declare an untruth, you bet.

Apparently you don’t read the posts. Long discussion on this thread about Trump being threatened with impeachment if he fires Sessions. All documented. Your Opinion. Priceless!

Obama's people used to talk like that They also had no regard for the citizens, and treated us like undeserving chattel.

They were the Government, so "shut your damn mouth, 'citizen'. Step out of line and we will deal with you. You only need to know what we want you to know, because WE own the power - not you!"

And who are you, DarthVader? Definitely not anyone who's in a position to know about any sort of sensitive operations. If you were, you wouldn't be sitting here on a well known public forum dropping cryptic hints about secret ops to a total stranger.

On the outside chance you really do know something, I pity the operators who've confided in you. They chose a blabbermouth poser for a confidant, who is probably going to compromise the internal security of the whole operation.

“The president doesn’t appoint an “acting AG.” “

He certainly can, if he chooses to:

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/5/3345

“notwithstanding paragraph (1), the President (and only the President) may direct a person who serves in an office for which appointment is required to be made by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to perform the functions and duties of the vacant office temporarily in an acting capacity subject to the time limitations of section 3346”

OK -- let's go back to the original premise here.

We're talking about a hypothetical scenario where the U.S. Senate tells the President of the United States that they will not confirm an appointee to a cabinet position if he fires the current occupant.

The statute you cited lays out a process where the President can appoint someone in an "acting" capacity with the consent of the U.S. Senate.

If the Senate is involved in a showdown with the President and refuses to confirm a cabinet nominee in a permanent capacity, then what makes anyone think they'd confirm someone in an "acting" capacity?

This would clearly come under Paragraph (1) of the same statute:

... the first assistant to the office of such officer shall perform the functions and duties of the office temporarily in an acting capacity subject to the time limitations of section 3346.

I'm not a lawyer, but it seems to me that the provision you cited isn't intended to apply to a real vacancy caused by a resignation or termination. Why bother with a Senate confirmation for an interim appointment when the President could just as easily appoint someone to a permanent role, even if his intention is to have the nominee serve for a short period of time? Instead, this seems designed to address a situation where a cabinet member is temporarily incapacitated and expects to return to office at some point in the future.

I don’t really worry nor care about what Sessions is doing at this point.

It is happening and you are too ignorant to understand what is happening.

Mueller was awarded a conflict of interest waiver by the DOJ, an absolute disgrace considering the fact he is supposed to be an “independent” counsel.
