All of the documents? I doubt it. If Rosensteiin’s pals hide or destroy documents, who will know? If there is evidence or even proof that there are more, all Rosenstein has to say is, “They must have been lost.”

Just like Obama finally having the Hawaiian Secretary of State’s turn over Obama “Birth Certificate”?

“Mueller get out of town. You are over. “

Don’t count on it. Mueller is Comey’s buddy, these people live in their bubble, they have no shame and no conscience. If he had any sense of decency, he would never have accepted to head this witch hunt at the outset.

Maybe McCain will come out and be the sacrificial lamb for them and then die before they can cross examine him.

These career bureaucrats, including Weissman, Comey, Strzok, etc, who never in their little lives made policy, DID NOT come up with this on their own.

Somebody told them to do this, and, like good bureaucrats, they did.

The issue is, when and if the FBI rebellion is quenched and its functionaries are prosecuted, will the American color revolution’s leaders escape, and will they remain dangerous?

I’m all for “getting” Comey and Mueller IF that ends the threat - but if it makes the enemy more dangerous then it may be a mistake.

Mueller’s whole team is simply an extension of the corruption. They should all go to Jail

Look, we are dealing with an active coup attempt, using lawfare as the weapon of choice. This is much, much more than "corruption". Mueller, Comey, and Rosenstein did not think this up, nor did they act without direction from above and some sort of promise of protection. Bureaucrats have never, and will never, make a revolution. It's just not in their nature.

There is a hidden hand, or hands, behind all this. And if the actual conspirators have decided to cut their FBI team loose, they may well be moving on to more forceful options.

He hasn’t won anything yet. He’s inside the red zone, but there’s a lot of game to be played yet.

As of now, Mueller and Comey appear be cover up specialists, going back many many years during the various Obama/Clinton scandals.

The mistake they or their brain stay made, was thinking that Mueller could step out of that specialty, and lead an actual prosecution of the President, when his specialty was avoiding actual prosecution.

Mueller's meeting with Comey to discuss Comey’s testimony to the House, which was admittedly designed to get Mueller appointed as special counsel, is now blowing up in their faces as the documents that Comey admitted to leaking are now being labeled as classified, putting them both in major jeopardy.

“There is a hidden hand, or hands, behind all this.”

Jarret.
Hillary.
Obama.
Rice.
Lynch.

Those are the big fish. Obama is untouchable. There will never be any prosecution of him.

The others? That remains to be seen.

I do not think that Team Clinton and Team Obama have much overlap, although they have some common interests.

This plan is quite far-reaching and imaginative. I don’t think it fits the Clinton M.O.

Hillary! was a tool of Team Obama in 2016, and that’s all she was. I think this is all about Jarrett, Holder, (possibly) Lynch, and of course Obama and whoever has been running him all this time.

Weissmann is a slime ball. He was directly responsible for destroying Arthur Anderson and 70,000+ jobs worldwide, just because he could. The Supreme Court later reversed the case 9-0.

Judging by Mueller's staffing choices, he may not be very interested in justice

If anyone should be going to jail, it should be Weissmann.

Bingo.

You get it.

If they prosecute Comey, then it might be possible to prosecute Lynch.

You sure that was Weissman? I think Comey was calling the shots on that case.

The Arthur Anderson case?

Yes - Weissmann.

He was also an ethical ba$tard on other cases.

http://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/356253-judging-by-muellers-staffing-choices-he-may-not-be-very-interested-in

Weissmann, as deputy and later director of the Enron Task Force, destroyed the venerable accounting firm of Arthur Andersen LLP and its 85,000 jobs worldwide — only to be reversed several years later by a unanimous Supreme Court. Next, Weissmann creatively criminalized a business transaction between Merrill Lynch and Enron. Four Merrill executives went to prison for as long as a year. Weissmann’s team made sure they did not even get bail pending their appeals, even though the charges Weissmann concocted, like those against Andersen, were literally unprecedented. Weissmann’s prosecution devastated the lives and families of the Merrill executives, causing enormous defense costs, unimaginable stress and torturous prison time. The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the mass of the case. Weissmann quietly resigned from the Enron Task Force just as the judge in the Enron Broadband prosecution began excoriating Weissmann’s team and the press began catching on to Weissmann’s modus operandi.

Weissman may have prosecuted the case. Comey was deputy attorney general at the time. In fact, I think he is the one that announced the indictment.

My recollection is that Comey was heavily involved in the decision to go after Arthur Andersen as a company, rather than the actual employees who were involved that were criminally negligent with regard to their professional responsibilities.

He may have been. Read the link I sent you. Weissmann’s role is there in black and white (with hyperlinks in the story to other facets).
