Posted on 09/02/2017 1:50:48 PM PDT by NoLibZone

Buried deep within the article:

Paragraph 17 of 24 the paragraph article:

“Mr. McGahn met again that same day with Mr. Trump and told him that if he fired Mr. Comey, the Russia investigation would not go away.

Mr. Trump told him, according to senior administration officials, that he understood that firing the F.B.I. director might extend the Russia investigation, but that he wanted to do it anyway.”

Our President does what is right...even if it causes many problems for him, his family, friends, business people he has had for many years...

Mueller has NO BUSINESS being at the head of this investigation, he is friends with comey and the Clintons, podestas, obamas, and anyone else that believes in ‘spirit cooking’ and ‘witch craft’!!!

This investigation isn’t about obstruction. Or collusion.

They just used RUSSIA!!! to slip under the tent. Now they think they can keep opening cans until they find something rotten...when in fact it’s the investigation itself that reeks.

So far Mueller has uncovered:.

-Hillary’s Campaign manager John Podesta, had dozens of unreported contacts with Foreign Nations.

-Comey wrote a pardon letter to Hillary prior to interviewing her.

-Trump felt firing Comey would not end any Russian investigation but prolong it.

Leaks.

Many sources are now working to soften the blow to MSM and the DNC as the investigation turns up nothing.

In hindsight, I believe that Comey made along term plan because he had gotten the word that Hillary was going to lose and if so, Trump could start up again going after Hillary.

So Comey becomes active not passive before Trump. Comey takes notes....has "feelings" as to what Trump means on several occasions, refuses to say Trump is not under investigation (which is a monstrous clue) and goes so far as to leak a "feeling" story about his Trump encounters.

More an more, I can see why Sessions stepped aside on the Russian Investigation...It kept Comey in his place and unable to use Sessions as a "partner in crime".

Yes, I do believe Comey committed a crime with the leak....but we have to be very patient.

INTENT will become the backfire word for Comey.

“In hindsight, I believe that Comey made along term plan..... because he had gotten the word that Hillary was going to lose and if so....”

I would agree with you but for different reasons. I don’t think anyone (not more than .0003%) in the known universe “knew” HRC was going to lose. But I would certainly accept the notion that HRC, once elected, would regard Comey as her savior, her guardian angel, the way he quashed the email investigation of her. I mean, had she won, all of that stuff would be now bundled up and sent off to the darkest reaches of that infinite warehouse in “Raiders of the Lost Ark”; with Comey and Lynch as dual guardians. Nobody would ever be able to get to any of it.

His efforts were designed to make him the most exalted Rasputin of a new HRC admin. Relative to HRC, he would be a young energetic man, able to quash any investigation of her at all. He would be her living “get out of jail free” card.

We know because of the end result that all the polls were being padded.

And here comes Comey CLOSING his investigation so close to the election (unprecedented) with a lie...no one would prosecute her....case closed.

There was absolutely no reason to close the case at that point in time.

Anyone watching the level of enthusiasm in the hrc camp. She was getting a hundred attendees to her rallies and Trump was getting 30K on a rainy Wednesday night in a Podunk town. People were waiting in lines for hours to see Trump, she was having to bus people in.
The poles were BS and it was obvious they were a failed psy-op to depress Trump’s turn out.

Fitzgerald learned early on who the leaker was. He continued for months anyway, hoping to tie Bush or Cheney to the leaker, and when he couldn’t, he settled for a BS proces crime that ruined a good man’s life.

The Mueller Russia-Russia-Russia gambit is simply a government-sponsored, bottomless-pit-funded, IRS-527-side-stepping, oppo research organization investigating Trump for the 2020 campaign season. NOTHING will really come out until either the ‘Rats control the House to start impeachment, or the 2020 campaign season begins. This will be a slow roll, stretched out over years.
