Media Hype: Mueller Probe ‘Bombshell’ Turns Out To Be Major Dud
breitbart ^ | Joshua Caplan

Posted on 09/01/2018 10:03:35 AM PDT by davikkm

According to various mainstream media figures this week, Special Counsel Robert Mueller was all but certain to drop a bombshell Friday that would shake Washington, D.C., to its core. It didn’t happen. NBC’s Meet the Press host Chuck Todd on Thursday kicked off the Mueller “bombshell” frenzy, warning viewers that Friday could go down in history as a turning point in the Russia investigation. “Here’s what I’ve learned about Bob Mueller,” Todd began. “Not a single person that has known him, been with him, worked with him, wouldn’t say that he would have ended this investigation if there was no collusion. He would have already ended this investigation.”

“We can’t tell that, though, until he tells us,” GOP ad-maker Brad Todd replied.

Daniella Gibbs Léger, senior vice president for communications and strategy of the Center for American Progress, surmised Mueller was unlikely to drop a bombshell until after the midterm elections. A major announcement prior to November would spark accusations of political interference for the special counsel, Léger predicted.

“I think he knows, more than anything, he keeps quiet between Labor Day and Election Day,” the NBC host hinted.

“I’m not missing work tomorrow,” added Todd. “I wouldn’t miss work tomorrow. Tomorrow is the last business day of the pre-Labor Day to Election Day window.”

No its not a “dud”

it’s destroyed a lot of ####ing lives.

And broken all kinds of laws and protocols.

That’s not a dud.

But let’s keep taking him as lightly as possible.

The only Bomb shell dropped was McCain being dropped in a hole.

Those people are so dumb it actually hurts to listen to them.

Isn’t it a hoot when they accidentally prove what a good guy Trump actually is.

She’ll be up nights with the Pepto Bismol over that dumb move.

Wrong . Look at who plead guilty. Patten a anti trump guy who’s wife worked for the FBI and cia who also hated trump. Patten lobbying is directly related to Manafort but more importantly JOHN MCCAIN JEFF FLAKE SUSAN COLLINS AND LINDSEY GRAHAM. this case arose from the special counsel then referred to trumps prose7

Besides, there is the credibility issue. If he ends with no collusion, then he will lose on so many levels. So he continues...

Chuck Todd was the guy who purchased all the high end liquor, sight unseen, that was stored in Al Capone’s sealed hotel locker that Geraldo unveiled 30 years ago.

Everything now comes down to the Election/////

That’s the bottom line.

It appears that heinrich is all in for the dems to take the house. Then the dems get to use his report for impeachment.

In the meantime rosenslime and sessions keep running down the clock, to cover up their corruption, hoping the dems take the house.

DJT can help his cause by releasing some documents. Hopefully after the Kavanaugh confirmation.

So, you didn’t see/hear him in Indiana the other night? He said “let’s see” if she gets away with it. That’s the first time I’ve heard that. He couldn’t hammer her right after the election because that’s not how we work and it would have solely looked liked vindictive politics. No, The right way to do it is build the case and he is taking his case to the American people directly, drip, drip, drip daily. It will take time, but it will all play out. Look how much more the public now knows about the partisanship and politicization of the Intelligence agencies during the Obama years. Have patience.

The only “bomb-shell” I’m waiting for from Mueller’s BOSS is “You’re Fired”. Pack you bags and “hit the road jack, don’t you comeback no more, no more!”

Oh, don’t worry, on Tuesday he’ll indict another Republican somewhere for some ThoughtCrime that nobody knew was a crime in the first place.

It won’t have anything to do with Russia, or even Don Trump, but will be roundly applauded by the salivating press as yet another bone to them.

Mueller is a chronic infection of the body politic that resists all normal antibiotic attempts to make it go away, and results only in the death of the body.

Same here, although I'd settle for a large, pissed off group of the *actual* Resistance to storm in, seize, and hang Mueller and every last one of his fellow gangsters.

“Doesn’t Rachel Maddow look annoyingly like David Hogg?”

Thank you, I knew there was someone he resembled but do not watch TV and do not have cable, so I didn’t make the connection.

“BUT, to bring it up between Monday and November 3rd is really electioneering, and Pres Trump (and us) can have a field day presenting it as so. HARD for the media to prove otherwise.”

The impeachment report will be presented to congress before the election or at least leaked to the press. No one will be reporting on ‘electioneering’, the fakestream media will go to defcon 1 with calls for Trump’s impeachment.

According to what I heard from Mark Levin and Joe DiGenova, Mueller cannot make an impeachment report if it’s based on grand jury testimony as it is supposed to remain secret. Also Mueller’s job is not to make an impeachment report but prosecutorial only. Not that rules matter to this bunch.
