Trump Fights Back Against Mueller
Powerline ^ | July 21,2017 | John Hinderaker

Posted on 07/21/2017 2:12:06 PM PDT by Hojczyk

I take it as a given that Special Counsel Robert Mueller is part of the Democratic Party’s effort to destroy the Trump administration. This is evidenced by the fact that he has staffed his investigation with Democratic Party activist lawyers and contributors to the Hillary Clinton campaign, and by his expansion of his “investigation” beyond any reasonable interpretation of his charge.

I conclude that Mueller is not discharging his office of special counsel in good faith, but rather is acting as an agent of those who are trying to destroy or impede the Trump administration, and should be fired. Of course, whether President Trump thinks firing Mueller is politically viable is a separate question.

In the meantime, it is good to see that Trump is at least pushing back against Mueller. It was reported this morning that Trump’s lawyers are investigating Mueller’s lawyers, with a focus on conflicts of interest. That is good, but only a beginning. Trump and others in his administration need to make clear that they consider Mueller’s investigation illegitimate; that he has gone far beyond the mandate he was given by the Acting Attorney General; that he has hired a partisan, biased staff; that he is serving as a tool of the Democratic Party; and that his investigation is a fraud. They should accord Mueller and his staff no credibility whatsoever.

Trump is in a war. The good thing is, I think he knows it.

AG Sessions should unrecuse himself. The reason for the recusal was he'd have to testify. Since he's already testified, there's no reason for him to not take charge.

PS: Any talk about AG Sessions stepping down is idiotic. There would have to be another confirmation process, which would drag out for years. Anyone short of Loretta Lynch would be deemed unacceptable. The swampthings would run amuck.

Freaking Comey said in public that he leaked so he could SET-UP Trump to be investigated. This whole thing is a farce.

The weight of public opinion will be difficult if not impossible to sway because of collusion of the main stream media. Sad to say but the sheeple believe what they see on TV news.

What the hell is he waiting for?

Not waiting doing nothing. Waiting until the right time to fire him. He didn't fire Comey on day 1. Instead he waited for the DAG to investigate Comey and write the letter. The letter is very good.

Trump will have a similar letter when he agrees to the firing of Mueller. An unimpeachable letter.

Sekulow would be an awful choice for the AG post. He’s part of Trump’s personal legal team, so his entire tenure would be one giant recusal for conflicts of interest.

All these authors talk about the Dems trying to destroy Trump. They conveniently fail to mention the Republicans are trying to destroy Trump, too.

The Democrats have been dying to gain access to DJT's tax returns by any means and Mueller won't be the avenue.

What's to stop him?

So angry at Fox with their coverage of the change in communications. They are completely hysterical while claiming President Trump is hysterical. And if I have to hear one more word from that idiot Charles Krauthammer......

Personally, I’d like someone to investigate the Jonathan Luna case which took place on Mueller’s watch, concerned FBI misbehavior, and is still unsolved.

“Mueller needs to resign ASAP”

Never happen. Never. I think Trump waited too long to go on offense. He had cause to force Mueller’s replacement the moment Comey admitted he leaked to get his BFF Appointed SC. If he fires him now which l think he must to survive all hell is going to rain down in the meantime Who knows how much dirt his Rat pack has dug up. Thanks again Jeff.

Absolutely. The Democrats are attempting a coup.

When do the public trials commence? I am beyond weary of their terrorist insurgency.

“Trump might try getting the House or Senate to do a No Confidence Vote against Mueller.”

Good idea but the faithless GOP members of both houses will not do the right thing.

Trump cannot trust the GOP with no confidence vote. I think he’d lose. Don’t forget when it came out that Comey rigged it to get Mueller and that Mueller was filling his staff with Rat mercenaries Ryan couldn’t wait to get in front of the cameras to defend Mueller and said “ l think need to let him do his job”, and exactly which job Paul?

What is Trump being investigated for? Russia?

Comey testifies that Trump was never under investigation

So why did Sessions recuse himself?

FABRICATION is not DESIGN

Welders and machinists can design and fabricate damn near anything

Welders & machinists do not design. Design requires advanced algebra, calculus, physics & engineering. The welder fabricates from pre-existing design.

A homeowners' house is actually a training center for DIY projects. Residents 'feel' no need for advanced college education. Amateur carpenters, machinists, electrical DIY are 'training' projects, in SUBSTITUTE for real education.

ALWAYS reject prior improvement projects built by prior homeowners as those are 'training' projects, a poor substitute for college. When buying a home, reject prior DIY projects as junk. Have them inspected but pay not for training projects.

Nice folks, but the depth of ignorance of DIY, so called designers, is stunning. They lack algebra. Home Depot is no help. Even simple things like building a fence & gate, knowledge really goes deep. People lack that hidden knowledge.

My happy, eager neighbor wished to rebuild a shared fence. Why? Because he had tools, but no knowledge, and he wanted me to help pay.

My neighbor was actually saying, he wanted me to pay for his fence 'training'. He really wanted me to pay for his fun at building junk.

With us Engineers, it is less an ego thing, but certainly entertaining. We see the HIDDEN world behind everything that layfolks wrongly assume.

What did I do?? I built a quick PROTOTYPE so the DESIGN is more certain. And the then neighbor can fabricate away, safely.

:-)
