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!"

My thought, too. You don’t drop the big one Friday afternoon of the Labor Day weekend.

I suspect something is coming out today, because you have all these CNN reporters and pundits saying so for weeks now.

Mueller has leaked this out. I suspect he’s going to show that Trump did some business with Russians. So? Did he ever deny this? What does this have to do with the election.

You can blame all this on Sessions.

Agreed. I think they know they aren’t going to get Trump. This is now a rear-guard action to keep Hillary, Obama & Co. out of jumpsuits.

Sadly I must agree. Used to be my go-to for things the MSM wouldn’t cover, now it’s just a link collection to whatever that very same MSM thinks is important today.

Since today is Caligula's birthday, it would be an appropriate day for Mueller to accuse Trump of plotting to have his horse appointed to fill McCain's seat in the Senate.

If President Trump owns a horse...

Where’s the crime, if any of that is true? Since when is buying dirt on political opponents a crime?

remember all the evidence the special counsel has — or could have — - or that the criminal liberal media hopes he has - that we haven't seen.

I dropped him from my news-links list about 4 years ago, and he only held on that long out of momentum and nostalgia.

He could have been ground zero for the new alternative media but instead chose to rest on laurels and coast.

I want to see the REAL Mueller secret files: the classified, internal communications between then-FBI Director Mueller, staff, DHS, CIA Dir Brennan and the DOJ regarding the explicit warnings the FBI received from Russian, Israeli and Saudi intel that Boston Bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev was an "imminent terror threat" -- a threat which Mueller laughed off, refusing to detain o even surveil Tsarnaev, and removing surveillance on his radical mosque...leading to 5 dead Americans.

PLEASE release THOSE files, Mr. President.
