Trump's Personal Lawyer Calls for an End to Russia Probe After McCabe Firing
Townhall.com ^ | March 17, 2018 | Timothy Meads

Posted on 03/17/2018 8:48:17 AM PDT by Kaslin

President Donald J. Trump's personal attorney, John Dowd, called for an end to special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into alleged collusion and interference between Russian operatives and the Trump campaign in the 2016 presidential election. 

“I pray that Acting Attorney General Rosenstein will follow the brilliant and courageous example of the FBI Office of Professional Responsibility and Attorney General Jeff Sessions and bring an end to alleged Russia Collusion investigation manufactured by McCabe’s boss James Comey based upon a fraudulent and corrupt Dossier,” Dowd said in a statement given to Fox News. “Just end it on the merits in light of recent revelations." 

Dowd's comments come just hours after Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced that former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe has been fired. 

As Matt noted, President Trump tweeted shortly after the late night firing that it was "great day for democracy."

Andrew McCabe FIRED, a great day for the hard working men and women of the FBI - A great day for Democracy. Sanctimonious James Comey was his boss and made McCabe look like a choirboy. He knew all about the lies and corruption going on at the highest levels of the FBI!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 17, 2018

McCabe responded to the firing by saying, "This attack on my credibility is one part of a larger effort not just to slander me personally, but to taint the FBI, law enforcement, and intelligence professionals more generally," McCabe said. "It is part of this Administration’s ongoing war on the FBI and the efforts of the Special Counsel investigation, which continue to this day. Their persistence in this campaign only highlights the importance of the Special Counsel’s work." 

For now, it is unclear what the next steps will for the Trump White House.

I think Mueller wants to drag it to the November elections. There is no other motive.


He wants to drag it into 2020. And he has just started now on Trump’s businesses. So figure at least a year and half on that just on that alone. Then after that who knows.

Let’s see the IG report.
Patience Grasshopper.


The IG report will be released so close to the midterms that the GOP will use that as an excuse to do nothing.

I agree that Mueller is grasping at straws and going above and beyond which is not right.

Oh you are right about that. If he wasn’t tweeting, they would be so much more out of control. They don’t have the upper hand which they despise.

I am NOT a lawyer, but I certainly would advise Trump to NOT have any interviews with Mueller or his gang.

National Institutes of Health.......So she represents lawsuits for Muledog, Hillary and Obunga’s Health? Doubtful...You need to look real deep down the rabbit whole. Just representing Muledog, should have disqualified Rosenstein from appointing Him....Follow the wives. McCabe, Ohr, Rosenstein....You’ll be surprised how deep the connections are.

You mean blogger disinformation specialists forgot to tell you she started working for a US Attorney soon after law school? Why would they leave that out?

Maybe you can ask her directly:

What difference does that make? That doesn’t change the fact who she is married to, and that it would be a conflict of interest for Rosenstein to pick Anyone she has represented. Rosenstein’s relations with Muledog, should have disqualified from picking him also, to begin with....Follow the wives. Rosenstein, Ohr, McCabe for starters.

McCabe demonstrated his intergrity (or lack of integrity) when he exclaimed that his goal was to first “f#ck Flynn, and then f#ck Trump”. This made him a hero of the left and a conflicted and corrupt FBI boss to any right-thinking American. He s getting a taste of what he did to Flynn.

Let’s state the obvious. Mueller and his team is an amped-up and Federally funded version of yet another mission of Fusion-GPS, meaning, this is a blank-check-funded hit squad to do one or both of the following: Create an oppo research group for both the 2020 primary race (to aid Flake, Romney, or other Anti-Trumpers) and to help the Dems in the 2020 general election, and secondly, derive ‘political evidence’ to impeach Trump if/when the Dems take over Congress in 2018. I am sure Mueller is tracking the Syromy Daniels charade, poised to pile on.

>>Sometimes I think DJT ought not comment via Twitter as it sparks more controversy and fake stories.<<

Riiight, he should just hang his head down and remain silent while these Deep State criminals and their stooges in the MSM continue to stomp on him 24/7. I’m sure he will garner tons of support from the electorate by doing so.

Time for our President to man-up and FIRE both that little pissant and donkey face.

Mueller is begging to be fired.

The question is, “why”?

Not really what I am saying. Some things are better left not being tweeted.

Mueller is a card-carrying member of the Deep State cabal and is likely to have been complicit in many of the crimes those characters have committed. Trump should order his joke of an AG to immediately commence an investigation of Mueller.

And the shrill voice of Clapper and Brennan blaming Trump shows their fear of being exposed

They aren't blaming President Trump.

They are threatening him.

This may get out of hand - and I don't trust Ryan (Romney) and McConnell (Bush) one little bit.

Yeah, it’s amazing to see the justice prevail and the powerful fall because the laws were up held, rather than held up. It restores faith!
