New Mueller Court Filing Highlights Trump Investigation Will Continue Deep into Year Three
https://theconservativetreehouse.com ^ | November 14 2018 | sundance

Voices selling a pending conclusion to the Mueller investigation of President Trump were dealt a set-back today as Robert Mueller files a motion with the court extending the 2016 Russian interference investigation deep into 2019.

The Associated Press is citing court documents filed within the Rick Gates case where the special counsel is requesting additional time for sentencing as an outcome of ongoing cooperation that has expanded the investigation.

My initial read on this is that it appears to be a counter-move by the administrative state, in response to the appointment of Matt Whitaker as Associate Attorney General.

My hunch is the Special Counsel ‘small group‘ is using court filings to extend the calendar, and thereby the usefulness of their investigation as a shield. This “ongoing investigation” blocks any unfavorable investigative inquiry which might expose the DOJ/FBI corruption.

However, I’m far more cynical than most when it comes to the intents and interests of DC, Robert Mueller, DAG Rod Rosenstein and the Machiavellian administrative state.

I personally believe Mueller’s investigation always held an ulterior purpose:

♦(1) Create an investigation – Just by creating the investigation it is then used as a shield by any corrupt FBI/DOJ official who would find himself/herself under downstream congressional investigation. Former officials being deposed/questioned by IG Horowitz or Congress could then say they are unable to answer those questions due to the ongoing special counsel investigation. In this way Mueller provides cover for ideologically aligned deep state officials.

♦(2) Use the investigation to keep any and all inquiry focused away from the corrupt DOJ and FBI activity that took place in 2015, 2016, 2017. Keep the media narrative looking somewhere, anywhere, other than directly at the epicenter of the issues. In this way, Mueller provides distraction and talking points against the Trump administration.

♦(3) Use the investigation to suck-up, absorb, any damaging investigative material that might surface as a result of tangentially related inquiry. Example: control the exposure of evidence against classified leak participants like SSCI Director of Security, James Wolfe; and/or block IG Horowitz from seeing material related to the FISA abuse scandal and “spygate”. In this way Mueller provides cover for the institutions and the administrative state.

In all of these objectives the Mueller special counsel has been stunningly effective.

However, the ‘trust the plan’ crew believes Rosenstein and Mueller are working on behalf of President Trump to confront the deep state; and everything that appears to be bad news is really just good news we haven’t discovered yet.

PS:

SP Mueller has NOTHING to do with truth.

This is political Lawfare to the political death.Always was and always will be.
Mueller wants to keep this up until the Nov. elections for POTUS

PDJT lets this farce go on and on and on....

and we are entering Year 3

sorry sorry sorry to have to say but... it is beginning to look like (except for some court appointments)... the commie/nazi/DNC/leftist/socialist/progressive evil cabal is still running “our” government

Fire him now. As was said with regards to the Acosta matter ‘What, like they’re going to hate us more?

How much more can the House impeach Trump than it’s already going to?

There is only one way the midterms are safe: Like in a movie, Trump has had people watching in all these states and a report, with witnesses and physical proof, is about to be released, ensuring full legal exposure to vote tampering in places like Florida and Arizona.

That’s it.

And I’m not holding my breath.

~~~

That’s why the investigation needs to go on indefinitely... so that Trump doesn’t get the chance to wait for it to be all over and then start pardoning people.

The whole thing is about revenge, not reality.

Now if you listed to your naive democrats (not the hard line democrats who know this is all about revenge and politics) in the suburbs who think they are so schmaart, they will tell you that the investigation needs all this time because they need to keep applying pressure to witnesses in order to get to Trump. Oh yes, even the naive, suburbanite, college graduate, fat, soft, democrats know it’s about getting Trump. They just don’t think it’s fake. They believe orange man is bad.

These guys are confronting the deep state. Unfortunately it is the shallow state of lawfully appointed trump selections and policies. Meanwhile the ultra deep intertwined octopus like global commie rats remain out of reach.

This analysis is spot on.

The only counter-argument: Trump couldn’t possibly let this happen.

But if true, Sessions has single-handedly (inadvertently?) weakened this administration more than anyone else by far. History is watching. He may be at Chamberlain status by the end of this.

The longer the Mueller investigation, the longer the cover-up. Trump needs to release the unredacted FISA, Ohr 302s, and all the Strzok-Page text messages now!

Can’t,won`t.

Mueller checkmate.

Was already told it would be obstruction of Justice.

New AG MUST give Mueller a DEADLINE. Wrap it up in 60 days. All ongoing legal prosecutions transferred to regular DoJ attorneys.

Sure.. why not? This whole adventure has been extremely profitable for Mueller. And our tax dollars are seeing to that.
