4merper4mer Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 Wasn't this warned when all the 'Pubes were rejoicing over the Comey-Shillary email thing a few weeks before election. Public sector isn't a business Donald... Not a bunch of yes men toadies. Sure you can hire and fire. But there are also checks in place, different set of ethical rules. What was Donald afraid of? Nothing has been getting done since Inauguration Day anyway. Let Comey run his course. Did you really just say there aren't toadies and yes men in government?
B-Man Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 KURT SCHLICHTER: Why Should We Trust Mueller? The establishment is praising Mueller up and down. They tell me he’s honest. They tell me he’s incorruptible. But they also told me Jim Comey was a towering paragon of virtue instead of a towering pile of Harry Reid. . . . Why should we believe this isn’t rigged? Because people in D.C. promise us that “Hey, this guy is honest?” I guess we’re supposed to think “Yeah, well this time they’ve got to be telling us the truth. They’re totally due.” But here’s the problem – we now have lots of new facts that change the original picture of our esteemed special counsel. Yes, as the Democrat steno pool that is the media has pointed out as we got woke to what’s happening, a lot of conservatives (including me) were initially satisfied with Mueller when he was appointed to investigate the Trump/Russia connection that everyone now admits doesn’t exist. But then came some troubling revelations which – whoa! – made us re-evaluate our prior understanding. So we – brace yourselves! – changed our minds in the face of new evidence. Let’s look at all of the evidence. Mueller seems like a good guy. War hero. No scandals as FBI director. Not a known scumbag or skeevy perv. In Washington terms, the last one alone puts him miles ahead of the competition. But now we find out that he’s Leaky Jim Comey’s bestest buddy there ever was. These guys are pals, and now Mueller is going to investigate the dude who fired his amigo? Related: “I’ll say it: If the special counsel’s office is leaking prejudicial information about an investigation, it should be shut down immediately.” Trust Mueller? From the WaPo article on obstruction we get this gem “Five people briefed on the interview requests, speaking on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly…” Five friggin’ people on Mueller’s super-secret investigation team leaked! Yeah, let’s trust these people. What percentage is that of the office as a whole Also: “Sessions can’t sit on this. He’s either got to come out [and say] WaPo is wrong or he’s got to make the entire team recuse itself, start over.” UPDATE: From Randy Barnett: “Mueller should resign not recuse. If he recuses, the matter will be delegated to one of the Democrat attack lawyers he’s hired.” By the way, for those who don’t know, this is a celebrated Georgetown Law Professor who’s now calling for Mueller to step down over conflicts.
Tiberius Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 B-Man spreading the right wing attack propaganda against the prosecutor. Attack the referee!
B-Man Posted June 16, 2017 Posted June 16, 2017 (edited) From the "Right-Wing" Washington Post MORE MUELLER LEAKS JOLT DC If the special counsel’s office is leaking prejudicial information about an investigation, it should be shut down immediately Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein cautions against anonymous sources in bizarre, strange, curious statement. Or maybe he’s saying that WaPo is in Putin’s pocket. The unending stream of leaks from the Mueller operation is unprofessional AND — REMEMBER? — ILLEGAL. The DoJ should subpoena the journalists and demand they identify their sources. People within the prosecutor’s office who are committing felonies, and breaches of ethics should be prosecuted and fired. And that includes Mueller himself, if he’s doing the leaking.

B-Man Posted June 19, 2017 Posted June 19, 2017 USA TODAY COLUMN: ..........We need a Robert Mueller resignation or a second special counsel. Despite a clear requirement that Mueller be “disqualified” from this investigation, his dismissal by either Trump or Sessions on the heels of the president’s firing of Comey would create a political firestorm that the president — even if entirely innocent of any wrongdoing whatsoever—might be unable to survive. And Mueller can’t fix things by simply recusing himself from the “obstruction” investigation, while delegating it to a subordinate. Perhaps unwisely, he has chosen lawyers who records show have contributed substantially to Democratic campaigns. Indeed, two have given the maximum $2,700 donation to Hillary Clinton last year, while another worked for the Clinton Foundation. No one could accept them as impartial towards the man who defeated her. So if he cares about the rules, Mueller needs to resign.

Tiberius Posted June 19, 2017 Posted June 19, 2017 DICKERSON: The president said last week he would release the tapes of - if there were tapes - of his conversation this week. That hasn't happened. Where is that? SEKULOW: I think the president is going to address that in the week ahead. There was a lot of issues this past week. The President gave a major address in Cuba, but we had the assassination attempt of Steve Scalise. There were a lot of intervening factors. So the issue of the tapes, I think right now was not priority issue number one when the country was facing an assassination attempt on Steve Scalise and other members of Congress and their staffs by the way. And our thoughts and prayers are still with him. I know he's still in a very difficult situation. But also, he gave a major address in the situation in Cuba and the attempt there to reconcile and redraft a policy that makes sense so the president has a lot of issues and I think it shows that the president is concentrating on governing. This issue will be addressed in due course and I suspect next week. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/transcript-jay-sekulow-on-face-the-nation-june-18-2017/ ??? He's too busy to say if the tapes even exist?
Tiberius Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 So Mueller might be looking into Trump, organized crime and Russia money laundering. https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2017-06-21/trump-russia-and-those-shadowy-sater-deals-at-bayrock One of Bayrock's principals was a career criminal named Felix Sater who had ties to Russian and American organized crime groups. Before linking up with the company and with Trump, he had worked as a mob informant for the U.S. government, fled to Moscow to avoid criminal charges while boasting of his KGB and Kremlin contacts there, and had gone to prison for slashing apart another man’s face with a broken cocktail glass. In a series of interviews and a lawsuit, a former Bayrock insider, Jody Kriss, claims that he eventually departed from the firm because he became convinced that Bayrock was actually a front for money laundering. Kriss has sued Bayrock, alleging that in addition to laundering money, the Bayrock team also skimmed cash from the operation, dodged taxes and cheated him out of millions of dollars. Sater and others at Bayrock would not comment for this column; in court documents they have contested Kriss's charges and describe him, essentially, as a disgruntled employee trying to shake them down.... Trump has said over the years that he barely knows Sater. In fact, Sater -- who former Bayrock employees say met frequently with Trump in the Trump Organization's New York headquarters, once shepherded the president's children around Moscow and carried a Trump Organization business card -- apparently has remained firmly in the orbit of the president and his closest advisers. Comey was still Trump's FBI director when he testified before the House Intelligence Committee in March about Russian interference in the 2016 election. During that hearing, Comey was asked if he was "aware of" Felix Sater, his criminal history and his business dealings with the Trump Organization. Comey declined to comment. It's unclear whether Sater and Bayrock are part of Mueller's investigation. But Mueller has populated his investigative team with veteran prosecutors expert in white-collar fraud and Russian-organized-crime probes. One of them, Andrew Weissmann, once led an FBI team that examined financial fraud leading to the demise of Enron. Before that, Weissmann was a prosecutor with the U.S. attorney's office in Brooklyn and part of a team that prosecuted Sater and mob associates for investment scams in the late 1990s.
Tiberius Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 when we be getting around to locking Hillary up? When she starts acting like the criminal Donald, that's when
Deranged Rhino Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 when we be getting around to locking Hillary up? If anyone goes down, I'm guessing it won't be her. She's got stories to tell and might be more valuable as a witness. This guy though is toast if they do decide to go after anyone on her team:

PastaJoe Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 Yesterday in Iowa Trump said, "They have phony witch hunts going against me". So if the witch hunts are phony, then that means there are no witch hunts, only justified investigations. By George I think he's got it!

Tiberius Posted June 23, 2017 Posted June 23, 2017 Trump's admitting Comey told the truth ... "When he found out that I, you know, that there may be tapes out there, whether it's governmental tapes or anything else, and who knows, I think his story may have changed," Trump said. "You'll have to take a look at that, because then he has to tell what actually took place at the events. ... You'll have to determine for yourself whether or not his story changed." "So it was a smart way to make sure he stayed honest in those hearings?" Fox News anchor Ainsley Earhardt followed up. http://www.politico.com/story/2017/06/23/trump-james-comey-tapes-response-239892
PastaJoe Posted June 23, 2017 Posted June 23, 2017 That was a bigger reach than Aaron Maybin at 10. Exactly, Trump's witch hunt claims are really reaching. Trump: Mueller-Comey friendship is bothersome. Mueller: Trump-Putin friendship is bothersome.
