That’s some job 70-year old Mueller got himself——most guys his age are playing bocce with the guys at the retirement home.

Taxpayers need to know:

<><>He’s poketing $150,000 ta dollars per week.

<><> How much has he collected in perks?

<><> Did he declare all his extra income on his tax returns?

<><> Who signs off on Mueller’s vouchers?

<><> Is anybody on the S/P staff related to him?

<><> Did he create jobs out of thin air for girlfriends, cronies and relatives?

<><> Has anybody checked Mueller’s Information Technology Systems?

<><>Has the IRS —as a l/e agency-—weighed in on this charade yet?

It's not Trump that I'm underestimating, it's some of his idiot advisors who don't understand the true scope of what the left are up to...The left are deadly serious about taking out Trump and taking complete control of

The leftists were going to take out anyone else who got in the way. Granted even Cruz was not nearly as big a threat as Trump. Trump has handled the leftist politicians nicely forcing them to jabber endlessly about Russia which Nobody cares about. Granted the more serious leftists and the deep state (with some overlap) are more serious and more deadly. But they only have so many tricks and aren't going to pull off impeachment.

The impeachment plan relies on Mueller flipping the House. Not going to happen.

The proper way to end this investigation is to FIRE JEFF SESSIONS and then have the new AG FIRE MUELLER.
It takes a lot of patience, but PERHAPS the light is showing the end of the tunnel. Sessions has announced a prosecutor from the hinterlands is looking into this stuff. And, if Sundance is to be believed, that has been going on since the middle of last year.

Art of the deal:

1. Offer a deal to Mueller that is something he will never but sounds reasonable to the vast majority of Americans.

2. When the deal is turned down, use it as evidence that its a witch hunt.

Or he could just ignore Mueller and let Mueller indict a few more people for old crimes and some more Russian trolls. Nobody cares what Manafort did in 2011, except the dimwitted media and a handful of drooling dems and other leftists. The vast majority of Americans are going to vote their pocketbook in November.

Always thought Trump should give Mueller a very public deadline, i.e. “wrap it up in 90 days or I’m gonna shut it down. You’ve had more than enough time...” Put the pressure right on the SC. How could the public not agree?

“The impeachment plan relies on Mueller flipping the House. Not going to happen. “

Well, you’re wrong about that. Which is why most of the Repubikans are championing and singing the praises of mueller. Ryan, Gowdy, etc. They’re waiting for a legal ‘fig leaf’ from mueller so they can impeach Trump. Anything to give them political cover. They want Trump gone as much or more than the dems. This is the party of bush after all. Most of them voted for Hillary.

That’s why only a dozen or so Repuki congressmen are calling for a 2nd special counsel. They don’t want any exposure or impediment to what Mueller is doing...which is carrying out an overt coup for ‘our’ corrupt stasi state.

President Trump, DON'T consent to an interview with Muller and his team, NO MATTER WHAT THEY OFFER!

If he finds that you actually clipped your toenails on a Tuesday night, instead of Wednesday as you told him, you'll be up on charges of perjury. DON'T DO IT!!!

I don't think there are that many Republicans who care about Trump enough to get rid of him. Just like the large majority of Americans who will vote pocketbook, there's a large number of Republicans and Dems who will run on pocketbook. The Dems will have to eat Pelosi's crumbs comments while still maintaining the class warfare theme (not easy). The Rep's will have an easier time pointing to the economy.

The second special counsel has nothing to do with anything. Again, only 2% of Americans have heard about or care about Strzok. Strzok will be slapped on the wrist by the IG and that will be that. Nobody cares.

Now there are leftists who are dead serious about getting rid of Trump, you are right about that.

...as leverage to spur a conclusion to the Russia investigation...

Watch, the MSM won’t mention that little detail.

Unless I missed my guess, you’re typing from a mental lockup in and around the Alberta area.

Yeah -- you missed your guess. You're obviously not posting here between Mensa meetings.

“He needs to add many more conditions. Not under oath, no recording or note taking, he can bring others who have already testified with him and all their lawyers. I won’t go on in detail, but he gets to have the same deal that Hillary, Huma, Cheryl, etc, etc, etc got. Turn about is fair play. Oh, and he gets to say “I don’t recall” 1,000 times.”

As they say, “what is good for the goose is good for the gander!”

“Mueller was a bad pick”

Mueller could become part of the investigation from the 2nd special council if one is appointed. He was the head the FBI when the Uranium One deal went down. He knew full well what was going on and did nothing. Maybe even abetted it.

The Rats keep repeating, "Mueller is a registered Republican." If Mueller does not succeed in smearing or removing Trump, they will say he failed because he did not want to harm a POTUS from his own party.

I do not care if POTUS is as free from guilt and the Blessed Virgin was from sin, you do not EVER sit down with a prosecutor. Especially one as eager to acquire his scalp by any means necessary as Mueller

I am pretty sure that Trump has no intention of meeting with Mueller. This is just anonymously-sourced wish-fulfillment/fantasy on the part of the “journalist.”

Remember this ?

A World of Advice for Obama on Foreign Policy (By HELENE COOPERNOV. 13, 2008 )

There is a world of advice out there for President-elect Barack Obama. Within minutes of his election, the calls from foreign governments began, Obama aides said, and they have not stopped.

While the first telephone exchanges between Mr. Obama and foreign leaders were limited to pledges of future cooperation and invitations to visit, those leaders and their aides have also been contacting Mr. Obama’s advisers and their surrogates with suggestions on how an Obama administration should conduct, and change, American foreign policy.

The foreign efforts to sway the new team are normal during any presidential transition, but they are accelerated in this case, foreign policy experts say, because of the historic nature of Mr. Obama’s election and the significantly different course that world leaders expect him to pursue in American foreign policy.

The Russians want him to hold off on the installation of a missile defense shield in Poland. The Europeans want him to renounce the idea of “regime change” when it comes to Iran, while the Israelis want to be sure he does not give Iran a pass when it comes to nuclear weapons.

Oh, and let’s not forget the Taliban, which issued a statement this week urging him to “put an end to all the policies being followed by his Opposition Party, the Republicans, and pull out U.S. troops from Afghanistan and Iraq.”
