Trump is winning his effort to demonize Mueller
CNN Fake News ^ | 29 May 2018 | Z. Byron Wolf

Witch hunt! Witch hunt, witch hunt! Witch hunt witch hunt witch hunt WITCH HUNT!!! Witch hunt. No collusion. Witch hunt.

It's Donald Trump's mantra about the Russia investigation, and it's working, for now.

He's mentioned the special counsel investigation led by Robert Mueller into Russian election meddling and possible collusion by the Trump campaign more and more frequently -- Chris Cillizza has documented the President's obsession with the issue.

I'm not one who can often identify defined or coherent strategy in the President's shoot-from-the-hip gut reaction policy and political choices. But in terms of the Russia investigation, he's embarked pretty clearly on an effort to make everything Mueller does out to be about politics rather than justice, and in doing so, he's winning the argument.

For those who get their news outside the MSM bubble, it is self-apparent that Mueller is all about politics.

Dang strait!

Rosenberg and the others have destroyed themselves as well.

When the indictments start landing, I’m going to revel in the moment.

So on one hand he's shoot from the hip not thought through and on the other he's planned and determined and focused.....Typical fake news reporter.

A couple of weeks ago I had gotten all my morning news regarding the middle east, Europe, the North Korea situation as well as some interesting domestic news stories. For lunch I went to the lobby deli where CNN was on.

I waited in line, paid for my meal, then waited in line to receive it. The entire time I was there, CNN was reporting - Stormy Daniels.

I have zero respect for that network. Zero.

What other option does Trump have? His own DOJ is backing this dirty, politically motivated witch hunt 100%. Apart from a couple of House members—who fold every time the FBI and DOJ illegally refuse to hand over unredacted documents—everyone in DC is rooting for Mueller. Trump has got to fight this attempt to destroy his presidency as best he can.

Sessions failed Trump on a massive, fundamental scale. As Trump has said, Jeff is a disgrace.

Mueller did a great job of demonizing himself when he employed shocking and abusing police state tactics to try to bludgeon people around Trump.

Note that no such tactics were ever applied to the Clintons, Soros, the Podestas, etc etc ad nauseum.

Trump is winning his effort to demonize Mueller.

And it is an affront to the majesty of the MSM press.

An argument consists of facts and logic, not idiotic ad hominem.

“Sessions should have never recused himself, and if he was going to recuse himself, he should have told me before he took the job and I would have picked somebody else,” Mr. Trump said.

Sessions put Trump between a rock and a hard place. On one side is Mueller, steamrolling mercilessly over even Trump’s donors, much less his actual associates. On the other side is Grassley and the rest of the GOP Permanent Political Class swamp monsters, who have vowed never to confirm an AG replacement, and to unleash h@ly hell on Trump if if he touches a hair on Sessions head. It’s insidious.

‘Trump expressed his disappointment in the Justice Department during a Fox News interview in which he said Comey is “guilty of crimes” that could be uncovered “if we had a Justice Department that was doing their job.

When asked why he doesn’t push the department to do more, Trump say he’s staying out for now.

“Because of the fact that they have this witch hunt going on with people in the Justice Department that shouldn’t be there, they have a witch hunt against the president of the United States going on, I’ve taken the position, and I don’t have to take this position and maybe I’ll change, that I will not be involved with the Justice Department,” he said. “I will wait until this is over. It’s a total, it’s all lies and it’s a horrible thing that is going on, a horrible thing.”

Trump has repeatedly lashed out at Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who heads the department, for recusing himself from the Russia investigation. Trump has previously called on the department to target leakers, but no one has been prosecuted for leaks critical of the Trump administration.

“So very disappointed in my Justice Department,” Trump said. “Because of the fact it is going on, and I think you will understand this, I have decided I won’t be involved. I may change my mind at some point because what is going on is a disgrace. It is an absolute disgrace. By the way only collusion is with Democrats and Russians.”’

Mueller is demonizing Mueller. Trump is just observing the personal disintegration.

‘Mueller is demonizing Mueller.’

It’s worked very well for Mueller so far. He’s been a dirty, rotten-to-the-core cop for decades and all he’s ever reaped was promotions and accolades.

That is how he ended up with the air rights over Tiffany's and the bid to convert the Old Post Office to the best located hotel in Washington DC- shoot from the hip incoherently.

Well, yeah, what is President Trump supposed to do, nothing? He has the right to talk about the investigation, and the media and deomcrats are welcome to defend Mueller.

The only way Trump can be impeached and/or forced to resign is if they can get his ratings into the low 20s, but it sounds like he’s been ticking upward. You have to get republicans onboard because no way Democrats would have a super majority. That’s the only way a President can be taken out. Well, the other thought, this thing is really only meant to be a cloud over Trump and the party brand. Either way, Trump is wise to point out all its faults and defend himself.

That is so rich! It is Inspector Javert-Mueller who is demonically obsessed with the Russia issue and has come up with absolutely nothing.

Trump is focused on draining the swamp, as promised many times during the campaign, and Mueller & Co. are the quintessential swamp. They broke the law in countless ways to destroy candidate Trump and President Trump. We need to be obsessed with restoring the rule of law in this country or we are finished. Thank God President Trump is doing just that.
