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!"

It is extremely rare that I visit drudge, anymore; I use Liberty Daily, instead. No ambiguity there; solid conservative site.

Yes, I appreciate FR for that, as well. I spend more time here, than any other site.

Does Hillary share her blackmail files with Mueller, or did she provide copies?

They drool all over themselves without a thought to what a government agency that can take down a President can do to any who become inconvenient to the government...

What I am more concerned about FR is there are a lot of articles from the HILL NEWSPAPER which is as liberal as is possible????

Calls to mind the discussion of "secret files" from the movie, "The Firm":

Oliver: Exactly what did they want?
Mitch: The secret files.
Avery: Who had those secret files last? Did you have them, Royce?
Royce (chuckling): I gave them to you.

Beat me to it. The truly conservative alternative to Drudge is LibertyDaily.com.

>>You can blame all this on Sessions.<<

Sessions has been a puppet of Mueller and the Deep State since his first day on the job. Probably because he was filmed kneeling in a public toilet stall in the one of the Senate Office buildings.

>>This is now a rear-guard action to keep Hillary, Obama & Co. out of jumpsuits.<<

Speaking of “rear-guard action” perhaps that’s why Sessions has had his tongue cut out.

Don't forget his elementary school tardies. NONE of this "evidence" is evidence -- it is just lawfare, and everyone responsible for it, whether in our out of the media, should, and I'd say must, HANG. Thanks Magnatron.

Yes, great site. And for those with the time to read in-depth analysis of the Mueller/DOJ/FBI scam, check out Conservative Treehouse.

Seriously. 2/3 of America is either in airports...

Based on my experience at the Charlotte airport last night, that might be true...

Liberty Daily is an interesting site, but it needs a massive cleanup job. I wish whoever runs the site would group headlines by subject. Drudge does this and it makes for much easier reading. Also, I'd like to see the headlines as written, not editorialized and mocked. We can do that here. Lastly, the ads on that site are the worse kind -- creepy toe fungus stuff, bit-coin get-rich schemes, and strange fad diet crap. I block them with my PC, but they won't block on my iPad.

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

Or out playing polo.

Usually this kind of stuff hits at 5:00 PM so no one has time to run to the courts to block the release, isn’t that right?

Absoultely no reason for the special consul. No reason for it. It was formed under false pretenses.
