Robert Mueller's secret files
Axios ^ | 31 August 2018 | Mike Allen

Posted on 08/31/2018 7:51:25 AM PDT by Magnatron

With speculation hot among the president's legal team that today could be a day for action by Bob Mueller (last working day before Labor Day), remember all the evidence the special counsel has — or could have — that we haven't seen.

Why it matters, from Bob Bauer, former White House counsel to President Obama, and now an NYU Law professor: "Investigators have the skills and resources to turn up evidence, including witness testimony, that goes beyond what anyone on the outside can imagine in the daily speculation about the Mueller probe." "How many had heard of George Papadopoulos — until the day we heard of George Papadopoulos?" "Who would have predicted an indictment, like the one brought against Russian intelligence officials, that reads like the synopsis of a le Carré novel?"

The evidence we've yet to see:

- President Trump's tax returns. - Trump bank records, which are more valuable than tax returns. - Internal Trump Organization records. - More recordings from Michael Cohen. - Cellphone records (metadata showing calls placed/received and duration) related to the Trump Tower meeting. - White House and campaign emails and text messages. (Trump's legal team said in January that the White House had produced more than 20,000 pages of materials, and the campaign had provided more than 1.4 million pages.) - Contemporaneous notes of White House staffers from meetings with Trump. - A full reconstruction by former national security adviser Michael Flynn, who made a plea deal, of his conversations about Russia and subsequent lies. Scores of hours of testimony of Trump insiders (including at least 20 White House personnel) about his private dealings, much of which is unknown to POTUS and the public. - National Enquirer files revealed by today's N.Y. Times: Trump and Cohen "devised a plan to buy up all the dirt on Mr. Trump that the National Enquirer and its parent company had collected on him, dating back to the 1980s."

As MSNBC analyst Matt Miller summarized: "Basically, everything!"

This is why I love Trump. The Left and MSM are on a quest to destroy Trump and yet he continues to deliver good news in spite of them.

Mueller and the Deep State are keeping this going to continue to PROTECT OBAMA, HITLERY, and all those that are complicit and still employed in the government. There are quite a few.

The sad part is that NONE have been prosecuted and sent to prison. And I am talking about the “big names” — not lackey lawyers. Where is the tipping point where the American people will get justice???

All based on a setup, all information derived from illegal wiretaps and illegal seizures IMO.

Axios is a left wing propaganda site...


Based on the title I figured it was either that or a satire site.

Desperately grasping at straws, and hoping.

That’s all they got.

What struck me about the author’s breathless anticipation is the vast number of documents he references. In other words, the prosecution is literally going over millions of records, of multiple business entities and private accounts, LOOKING FOR a crime; they are not INVESTIGATING a crime.

There’s lots that hasn’t leaked yet, and he’s guilty of something because we’ve been told that he is for so long, and an October surprise is de reguerre. What a load of horsesh!t. Bulls are at least kosher, and this is not.

I just knew someone would post this useless article. Axios specializes in unnamed sources

Seriously. 2/3 of America is either in airports or zipping down an interstate listening to tunes.

Mueller has spent around $25M so far get off your ass and subpoena the President to appear before a GJ. Lets get Mueller in federal court and before the SCOTUS where he would lose. Lets bring up evidence based on fake dossier and lying to the FISA judges for a warrant being fruit of the poison tree and the appointments clause in Article II sec 2 of the constitution. Lucia vs SEC case 17-130 6/21/2018 SCOTUS 7-2 ruled SEC judges fall under the appointments clause. lets get this show on the road Mueller and stop spending my tax dollars

If Mueller had anything damaging against trump it would have been leaked long ago to the democratic media.
