Bill Kristol Accuses Trump Of Trying To ‘Shut Down’ Mueller Investigation [VIDEO]
The Daily Caller ^ | 26 Dec 2017 | NICK GIVAS

Posted on 12/26/2017 3:20:52 PM PST by mandaladon

Editor-at-Large of The Weekly Standard Bill Kristol accused President Donald Trump of trying to “shut down” the Russia investigation Tuesday, despite the White House’s continued cooperation with special counsel Robert Mueller.

“The president hates the investigation. He fears it, and he wants to shut it down or curb it as much as he can,” Kristol said on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports.”

“It may be that he intends to fire Mueller,” Kristol added. “Trump is trying systematically to discredit the FBI … and he’s doing so by attacking individuals, by attacking the whole organization, by saying the whole thing is a witch hunt. I think he fears it and wants to end it as much as he can.”

White House counsel Ty Cobb denied any plans to dismiss Mueller as special counsel. “As the White House has said for months, there is no consideration being given to firing the Special Counsel,” he told The Daily Caller.

Kristol also believes any Republicans who defend the president on Russia are being used as puppets and said they are only doing further damage to the country.~~~~~~~~~~~~~Bill is still hurting over Trump winning...

Are Bill Kristol and Hilliary having an affair? He has really gone to the dark side.

The Republicans yelping like scalded dogs, are doing so, me thinks, because they are afraid of their own culpability and guilt being exposed by further investigations!

If there is anyone more smug than Kristol, I can’t think of it.

Gotta be painful for Bill to see himself becoming more irrelevant by the day . . .

Where’s your proof Billy? Where’s your proof. Mueller has already done an outstanding job torpedoing his own investigation. There’s nothing left to “shut down”. Pay attention, pal!

Bill Kristol’s father was Irving Kristol. He was a leading follower of the Trotsky Communists at Columbia University in the 1930s. This group was dissatisfied with the Democrat party because of their love for Lenin so he formed an alliance with Republicans (because of their anti-Lenon stance.) The group later became known as the NeoCons and Irving Kristol is considered their founding member.

He will never get over it, because he is a loser himself. He might as well go back to being the Democrat he once was.

He’s a genius. “Trumps trying to shut down the investigation by cooperating with it”.

— He’s completely irrelevant today. Him and George Will combined are irrelevant. I’m glad Katy Pavich has gotten some sense into her. But that might be because she’s shooting for a lucrative Fox News contract or protect one if she’s got it.

Kristol is so butthurt over Trump winning he has gone completely left.

Next thing you know he will be rooting for communism or at least it’s slightly lighter brother; socialism.

He clearly has a mental illness (TDS) and it appears to be getting worse by the day.

All this makes me wonder if he was ever really a right winger at all...

Kristol is officially demented. Billy should commit himself before Jonah Goldbergstein does it to get his corner office.

“Kristol added. “Trump is trying systematically to discredit the FBI …”

Too late! The FBI already did it to themselves by their own actions and statements.
