Special counsel Robert Mueller has brought 13 lawyers on board to handle the Russia investigation, with plans to hire more, according to his spokesman Peter Carr. Mueller has assembled a high-powered team of top investigators and leading experts, including seasoned attorneys who've represented major American companies in court and who have worked on cases ranging from Watergate to the Enron fraud scandal.

Among them are James Quarles and Jeannie Rhee, both of ( whom Mueller brought over from his old firm, WilmerHale.) He's also hired Andrew Weissmann, who led the Enron investigation.

Yep..and her client is under fire for not disclosing information on his security clearance forms. More than once...and for more than one thing.

She was advising him at the time. I don’t know if she advised him on filling out the docs.

But those debts were owed another until they were “sold” in a shell game.

The other choice is to fire Mueller and stop this non independent witch-hunt investigation that is being run inside his branch of government by the Deep State. The Deep State can have their own investigation on their own dime.

Then Trump would have to play hardball against any congressmen who is for impeachment, and whose district voted for him.

In the election, Trump won the most CD's and he of course won the most states.

Who will pay for this circus? Mueller should pay out of his salary.

Agreed.

It’s extremely frustrating to watch, but hopefully they get just enough rope - to hang themselves.

Did you miss the part from Gorelick?

Of course, Kushner is being investigated. It is Trump’s achilles heel.

If you are a Dem who wants to take down Trump you will zoom in on Kushner.

Trump needs to fire Mueller and demand an immediate impeachment and trial. Put up or shut up.

IMO, too late to fire Mueller.

Trump has the authority to do it. He can also order Rosenstein to do it.

It’s too late.

He will have to let this play out...and resist the cover up and resist walking into a perjury trap

Once again, the function of a security form is to serve the head of the executive branch, the president. It was the president, Donald Trump who told Kushner to travel.

Do you understand that?

I don't think that it's too late, but I do think Trump will let it play out.

It is up to Congress to change it.

“Another” is “another” and once you buy it you are not “another”

I agree with the decision. People need to be protected from Junk Debt buyers but it is not up to SCOTUS to do that..it is up to Congress. The stories about what these JDB’ers do when they are trying to get their money are really crazy. I mean drop your jaw crazy.

Btw, a very rich Junk Debt buyer is in a Cabinet Position now.

IF Mueller Wants Justice He’ll Start Here:

True Pundit conducted interviews with FBI assets and support personnel who collectively painted a dark insiders’ portrait of the Clinton criminal probe ... True Pundit’s interviews and intelligence gathering on the Clinton investigation found:

Allegations of pay-for-play involving the Clinton Foundation were not properly vetted, ultimately white washed

FBI agents were blocked from serving search warrants to retrieve key evidence

Attempts to secure Clinton’s medical records to confirm her head injury were sabotaged by FBI Director James Comey

FBI agents were not allowed to interrogate witnesses and targets without warning

Clinton and aides were provided special VIP accommodations during interviews

FBI suspended standard investigative tactics employed in other probes

FBI agents efforts were often blocked, suppressed by FBI, DOJ brass

Agents lost faith that their superiors and DOJ wanted to see the case reach a grand jury
