Market Watch ^ | Aug 3, 2017 | Steve Goldstein

Special Counsel Robert Mueller has impaneled a grand jury in Washington to investigate Russia's interference in the 2016 elections, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing two people familiar with the matter. That's a sign that his inquiry is growing in intensity and entering a new phase, the report said. Legal experts quoted by the newspaper say the move suggests he believes he will need to subpoena records

Mueller is all about optics and BS. It’s not going to work.

Trump could have dumped Mueller months ago now l don’t think so. Unless there’s another miracle I give him 14 months maybe less.

What Trump needs to do is get over the idea that Sessions caused his problems more than he did himself.
Sessions didn’t hire McMaster, Priebus, Kelly, Mattis, etc., etc.

Sorry, but the Mueller appointment and the bad things he intends to make happen are all on Jeff Sessions and not related to the other appointments you mentioned and you know that.

Sessions foolishly and unnecessarily recused himself from the Russia issue effectively giving control of the Justice Department on that issue to the anti-Trump Obama holdovers.

Mueller doesn't have to have evidence enough to convict the president or anyone else.

All he has to do is convince the stacked grand jury to hand down an indictment.

Once he taints the president, directly or indirectly, the press and democrats will go berserk.

It's obvious that is the plan - Stand back and watch it unfold.

And it all could have been avoided if Sessions didn't Virtue-Signal by recusing himself.

He placed his own interests above and ahead of his responsibility to the people and the President to run the Justice Department fairly and within the law.

Now that they’ve got this part done, they can go about finding a crime to prosecute.

>>><<<

They’ll manufacture a crime if possible. IMO

This is utter madness.

With ZERO evidence of wrongdoing, a “Special Counsel” has been appointed and now a Grand Jury impaneled for the sole purpose of trying to destroy the presidency of Donald J. Trump.

Thanks to the incompetence of Jeff Sessions in recusing himself from the Russian probe, now all Mueller has to do is get a couple of anti-Trump liars to take the stand as “witnesses” of some unprovable, false narrative, and BAM, there’s charges of Obstruction of Justice, Perjury, or God only knows what, leveled at our innocent President.

This entire “scandal” is like watching a slow motion beheading with a dull sword.

They will indict some advisors for some ridiculous charge, then the media and Deems and GOP will tart the full throated war cry for resignation.

The goal of the Deems and GOP and the Deep State is to cripple Trump to the point of ineffectiveness.

Are the citizen members of the grand jury selected from a pool of voters inside the District or from a designated radius within driving distance?

Anyway I cut it, the potential pool of grand jury members does NOT look like a reasonable cross section of the nation, at large.    /big concern

This may be more about Manafort, but who knows. This seems to be about the “meh Russia” thing.

There is no evidence against Trump on “meh, Russia”.

Trump is the greatest patriot of our generation, but I think we’ve lost our country.

The Swamp people are dedicated to the overthrow of president Trump.

But they don't really have an end game.

If they destroy President Trump there will be collateral damage and they will be responsible for the eventual destruction of the United States.

There will still be land, a country and people but it will not be the constitutional republic we inherited from the founders and the patriots who built it and protected it for 241 years.

“Trump is the greatest patriot of our generation, but I think we’ve lost our country.”
************************
We lost it in 1787 and 1789...the Con-Con and the New constitution (so-called) and open door to Big Gubmint, Big biz, Big Everything; and then less than a century later they elected the first 0bama, leading to a war against Americans by Americans...Gary North nailed it all in his writings!
My opinion!

Yep, it's the usual chorus of song birds wailing about unfair the entire situation appears to be.

Sorry, but war isn't fair nor is it played by any approved rules. Does anyone think the deep state was going to quietly relinquish control over the government without a fight? Hell, they **must** fight, because if they lose they will literally hang.

It does get tiresome to constantly remind everyone, but Trump holds all the cards. He has all the evidence, all the information, and all the resources. He also has the backing of the military; they will follow orders if a domestic emergency is declared.

Right now, it's an interesting spectacle to see the initial moves being made, but both sides know the score. It's a lot of shadow boxing for those of us on the outside, but the stakes and outcomes are very, very real for those responsible for charting the (war) game theory strategies.

I think there is way too much panic going on in reaction to this news.

First, is the story true?

Is it doing what the media suggests/hopes?

Do we think Trump is not going to fight like hell if someone goes after him?

History has shown us that every person who has gone after Trump has lost.

Nothing that is happening or will happen surprises our Creator.

If people want to do something positive, repent and pray for our President. Then give to him. Repeat.

Manafort, is my bet.

However, my focus is the curiosity that nothing gets leaked from Mueller’s investigation, but all things Trump says both foreign and domestic is leaked and selectively timed for release by the media.

All the legal, historical and Constitutional requirements and precedents will not deter those engineering this barely disguised coup attempt. Almost the entire elite establishment in this country wants Trump gone, and our Deplorables movement along with him. They will stop at nothing. I believe that if they can’t do it through phony investigations, they will do it with violence.

There will be hell to pay if they think we’re going to take this quietly. If they try removing this man from office over NOTHING or taking down everyone around him over NOTHING the sissy boys in the GOPe and the evil bastard Dems will pay. They won’t know what f*cking hit them. Throw everyone out who doesn’t end this ASAP.
