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.

I think Herr Trumpenfuhrer should appoint any number of additional specialists for 1. Clinton Foundation 2. IRS 3. Leaks, leaks, leaks 4. Obama’s birth certificate (why not?)

This is WAR!!!

Funny how everyone forgets that this scumbag douchebag piece of crap Robert Mueller was practically the third Boston bomber. He and Jaime Gorelick should be sharing a prison cell.

From Trump on down anyone who is asked to talk to the FBI or special prosecutor needs to take the 5th Amendment across the board. They have no crime, they are looking for a Martha Stewart/Scooter Libby, crime.

Take the 5th across the board, and they have NOTHING.

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.

So? That doesn’t mean you get to lie on it...or oops..forget your meetings and your loans.

A lie? How is Kushner lying. The security form serves the president. The president told Kushner to travel. On the form, Kushner said he made trips without listing the specific trip that Trump ordered him to take.

You can think he doesn’t have to disclose the information he “forgot”

I disagree. Gorelick must disagree to or else she would have just said..meh..he doesn’t have to report it.

Yeah, I guess the difference is that I see the debt to original party still having to be in place for there to be a claim on it once it is sold.

But I’m just responding online to what I have read about it this morning. And really it seems like something to be dealt with at the state level, however simpler it is to address it all at once nationwide.

What is Mueller seeking revenge for? Wasn’t he a Bush-era stooge that Obama kicked to the curb?

IF Mueller Wants Justice He’ll Start Here:

Trump controls the executive branch. He can investigate and prosecute those things now. He doesn't need Mueller for that.

Trump needs to replace Sessions immediately or Zrosenstein is going to run Justice for the next 4 years. Sessions is emasculated. Trump needs To replace him immediately with someone outside the swamp who can DO what the AG NEEDS TO DO.
