Editorial: Investigators reveal bias against Trump
The Boston Herald ^ | 04-13-2018 | Herald Staff

Posted on 04/13/2018 2:27:11 AM PDT by calvincaspian

We should not be clamoring for special counsel Robert Mueller to be fired. That ship has sailed. While the Russian collusion investigation seems to be withering away, having yielded no evidence that might impugn President Trump, a new investigation has been spun off in New York City, targeting his attorney, Michael Cohen.

Since that investigation is separate from the Russia investigation, some are hoping Attorney General Jeff Sessions can reauthorize himself out of recusement and squash it.

Let the media, Democrats and Washington bureaucrats keep piling on him in clear view. It reveals more about them than him. Right now, investigators are looking into Michael Cohen’s time in the taxi cab business years ago.

The swamp is investigating taxis.

The president is lowering taxes.

We will make our conclusions based on the indisputable facts in the light of day.

Trump has enough dirt on Mueller and friends to bury them all. Trump is just giving them enough time to dig their own graves.

If I were betting, I’d bet that within 12 months, Trump will have been impeached by the House for obstruction of justice.

A few months ago, it didn't seem possible that the 'pubs could lose the HOR, which would open that door. Now, it seems not only possible, but a very strong possibility. A lot of blame goes to dirty dealer Ryan. He got the ball rolling when he didn't use his leadership skills to repeal Obamacare. Now he's stepping down at the worst possible time. If he wanted to keep the majority he would've stepped up and provided effective, vote-winning leadership between now and November.

I repeat myself....what the Deep State has on Ryan must really be something.

Expecting jeff van winkle sessions to wake up from his year and a half long slumber is like linus van pelt waiting for the great pumpkin.

It’s not “squash” it’s “quash”.

==========================================

Washed-out Mueller CANT SEEM TO FIND what is really out there. He's like a prospector who knows "there's gold in them thar hills," but Mueller keeps coming up dry with every jab of his pick-axe.

The following investigation roads would yield paydirt.....(but Mueller knows his handlers, power-stricken Democrats, would scream bloody murder):

(hat tip VDH)

.....in his search for instances of lying, Mueller might re-examine the false testimonies given to investigators by McCabe and by Clinton aides Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin.

In his search for Russian collusion, Mueller might also investigate Steele, Glenn Simpson of Fusion GPS and the Clinton campaign. All used Russian sources to leak unproven gossip and smears to the press in an effort to warp the 2016 election.

In his search for obstruction of justice, Mueller might also investigate whether top DOJ and FBI officials deliberately misled the FISA Court before and during after the 2016 election cycle by withholding evidence that the Steele dossier was flawed. Did Justice Department officials inform the FISA Court that Steele’s dossier was hired research paid for by the Clinton campaign? Did they tell the court that the FBI had stopped using Steele as a source for purportedly leaking information to the media? Did they tell the court that Comey was on record as saying the Steele dossier might not have been credible?

In his search for felonious behavior concerning the leaking of classified documents, Mueller might determine:

1) Whether the memos regarding presidential conversations that Comey leaked to the press were classified;

2) Whether former top national security and intelligence officials — among them John Brennan, James Clapper, Samantha Power, Ben Rhodes and Susan Rice — requested that the redacted names of surveilled Americans be unmasked, and whether officials then illegally leaked those names to the media;

3) Whether FBI officials such as Comey and McCabe leaked confidential findings from their investigations to the press during the 2016 campaign and lied to investigators about it.

Heck, why leave all the good stuff for Mueller? Trump does have a DOJ, doesnt he (snicker)?

Civil War. There is zero evidence Trump has done anything like obstruction of justice.....so what you are suggesting is a trumped up charge just to impeach. Impeaching Trump for no reason would be a call to arms.

That’s the POV Mueller has always been working from. Trump is presumed guilty. Mueller just has to find a crime.

Whats already happening in plain view is a call to arms and yet none rise up. The frog boiling proceeds apace while we are like the school yard kid telling the bully “lucky for you I have my glasses on”. For all the talk about “and THAT will mean civil war” Im pretty confident we will do nothing. Maybe more than nothing as many “true conservatives” sit smugly on their hands come november, actively voting to eat poison as they turn up their nose at the unpure cafeteria food that can at least keep us alive to fight another day.

“If that happens then we march on DC.”

We’ve done that, to an extent. Next time I would think certain “actors” would feel the need to keep their heads on a swivel, seeing what would surely be happening to their comrades. They’ve been told many times. It’s not as much that they aren’t listening, as they aren’t afraid of us.

He tried to obstruct the investigations into the Russian collusion, which didn't exist. Is that the one you mean or is there another?

The FBI invasion of Manifort and Cohen—what’s the difference between that and “the knock at the door at midnight” in Stalin’s Soviet Union?

I think a 1 or 2 day sit down strike across the country would get their attention.
