Mueller Probe Increasingly Looking Empty, Top Legal Experts Say

Harvard's Dershowitz, former prosecutor diGenova say the special counsel failed to uncover credible evidence of Trump collusion with Moscow.

Special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of allegations of collusion between President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign and Russian political and business interests increasingly looks like it is coming up empty, a pair of legal experts said Monday...

Joseph diGenova, a former U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia under President Ronald Reagan, said during a separate appearance on the Ingraham program that Mueller's probe should end.

"Whatever purpose it had in the beginning, that purpose has now been served, and it is time for this matter to end," said diGenova (pictured above right).

In fact, diGenova said, there never were legitimate grounds to appoint a special counsel in the first place. He blamed Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who gained control over the Russia investigation after Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself due to his involvement in the Trump campaign.

"Rod Rosenstein knew exactly what he was doing when he appointed Mueller without any limitations on his jurisdiction and without any evidence that a predicate crime had been committed," diGenova said. "There was no crime. There was no reason to appoint a special counsel. Rosenstein knew that. I believe he acted purposely and willfully in order to set this in motion."

DiGenova also blasted former CIA Director John Brennan, who criticized Trump over the weekend following Friday's firing of former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. Brennan condemned Trump in a tweet for "venality, moral turpitude, and political corruption" and declared that America would "triumph" over the president.

"The tweet is revelatory for a number of reasons. I have never doubted the partisanship of Brennan, but I thought he was a little smarter than this. Because what this does now is show he had an animus toward Trump while he was the CIA director," he said.

"And it actually makes it more obvious that there has to be a grand jury to investigate the unmaskings and the leaking of the name. When you hate the way John Brennan hated in that tweet, you are capable of very, very bad things," diGenova continued.

But Brennan's tweet could be a "blessing in disguise," he added. "It really showed how, how horrible these people are, just absolutely horrible."

If muler (sp) had any respect for the American taxpaying citizen’s hard earned taxed income, he would cease and desist, after declaring President Trump innocent.

Mueller has no legal case, but he is working on a political case. He wants to find anything that the Democrats can use as a pretext for impeachment.

Thanks for the ping. Mueller has had the Vast Left Wing Media chasing this Russian story for more than a year, and basically wasting their time on it. They would have done a whole lot better to focus on other lies.

That certainly supports the theory that he has been working for Trump on this.
