Despite no evidence of an underlying crime, Mueller insisted that the president be interviewed by the special counsel. Dowd knew it was a trap. Mueller had done it to Flynn and others. He was clearly angling for obstruction of justice and hoping to ensnare the president in the equivalent of a perjury trap if he consented to be interviewed.
But obstructing what? Mueller readily acknowledged that there was no underlying crime. Moreover, Trump had encouraged every witness connected to his campaign and the White House to testify. He voluntarily produced more than a million pages of documents. The special counsel’s investigation had proceeded unimpeded.
As Mueller persisted, Trump’s lawyer realized that he had been conned all along. On Tuesday, Dowd was unsparing in his scorn for Mueller and his unscrupulous tactics:
“That is when I knew he had lied to me in our original meeting (June 16, 2017) and every meeting thereafter. Robert Mueller —‘D.C.’s great man’ — completely and deliberately misled us in order to set up a perjury/false statement trap for POTUS. It was a monstrous lie and scheme to defraud.”
Dowd shared with me numerous documents and letters supporting his accusations against Mueller. They paint a vivid picture of a special counsel determined to damage the president with an investigation bereft of any credible evidence.

Was Mueller just playing the role of confused old fool, just in case the scheme went bad (as it is now)? Or was he truly just a man in his decline and dotage who was brought in by others to front for a corrupt scam and coup attempt?
Trump Derangement Syndrome must cause dementia as a side effect.
Mueller, Biden, Pelosi, ....
Mueller was just another corrupt Deep State hack. Nothing more.
Wow, Rat speech writers are going to be busy today!
It was attempted entrapment. Trump didn’t fall for it.
Whenever the press describes someone as a “non-partisan straight-shooter,” you should assume the guy is a crook.
Just like Judge Sullivan.
I can’t really follow the details of this stuff as much as I would like. The outlines are generally clear to me but the exposition in stories is often very messy and hard to follow.
This one seems pretty clear, though. I think the basic concept is that Mueller spent 3 years investigating and only partially expected to find anything. He wasn’t really investigating because he knew there wasn’t anything. But he spent 3 years basically dithering.
Why did Mueller go to all the trouble? Because at the end of it all the core of the plan — from the beginning — had been to get President Trump in a room to answer questions and then to spring a perjury trap.
The entire Mueller investigation — 3 years of it — was just a very long perjury trap.
Paging Bagpipes Barr...

The irony is that the other side firmly believed Trump would hide documents, suborn perjury, and act to obstruct the investigation. Because that is what they would do and did do in their efforts to destroy Trump.
Trump did not act as they expected he would. In hindsight, Dowd played this correctly and I know he took a lot of heat for his course of action, but in the end Trump never took the bait and knew they had nothing other than the “process.”
What a travesty and pile of crap this was. It was an attempted lawfare assassination of a sitting President who had done nothing wrong carried out by partisan hacks and a partisan media.
This was election interference (2018) of the worst kind.

The rule stands - the left always accuses you of doing what they do. Always.
A most interesting admission by Dowd.
What did Dowd know and when did he know it?
“Mueller was just another corrupt Deep State hack. Nothing more.”
When he left innocent men in prison it revealed his character.
All of this carries the same weight (none) as Schiff’s accusations.
Just blather. Without prosecutions and convictions it’s meaningless, just like Schiff’s failure to convict. At least Schiff TRIED, which is more than Republicans are doing.
There is more, of course. Much of the point of the Mueller investigation was to gain the House for Democrats. In that, it was successful.
"And neither should James Comey, Andrew McCabe and disgraced ex-FBI agent Peter Strzok."
AMEN!
I am super glad to now know DOWD is a GOOD guy!
PING. This story from Greg Jarrett knocked my socks off. Must read! Thanks for posting, Hojczyk.
From both of these options, you can see it is clear that I believe Andrew Weissman was the controlling force in everything that was done by the Mueller Committee in the course of the investigation. The only difference is that I believe that his show of mental feebleness was either contrived wholly out of cloth, or he really was mentally enfeebled.
I have nothing for contempt for him and the people who set him up in this endeavor. I would rather see them all hang, but that won't happen. They may not even be punished in any way. I hope for the best but expect the worst.
