Mark Penn: The Mueller investigation has come up empty on Russia -- You won’t believe what's...

FULL TITLE: Mark Penn: The Mueller investigation has come up empty on Russia -- You won’t believe what's coming next

The pattern and purpose of Mueller’s investigation and the endgame is becoming clear, and yes, it’s clearly get the president at all costs. The team Mueller hired really foretold the story — Andrew Weissmann as the stop-at-nothing pit bull and a group of Democratic-leaning lawyers, including some who have represented the Clintons, had the obstruction of justice charge ready to go on day one.

Trump’s first team of lawyers with their “don’t worry and cooperate” strategy set the president back, and let the whole thing spiral out of control.

The investigation, I believe, has come up truly empty on its central charge related to the president — collusion with the Russian government. They are now trying to find someone, anyone who had any contact with Julian Assange with the aim of calling that collusion-lite.

But mostly what Mueller’s team is doing is bludgeoning witnesses on unrelated charges to piece together a case against the president. They are shaping that case through the indictments -- and threats of indictments -- that are being used to get guilty pleas to make the president seem like an obstructor or co-conspirator. They are literally creating the crimes.

Let’s review what Mueller and his team are doing:

Michael Flynn — They discovered unreported lobbying by Trump's former National Security Adviser and leveraged that to get him to plead guilty to lying to the FBI. Why? So that they can claim Trump’s comment to James Comey about letting him go was obstruction of justice. Yet no other prosecutor would ever have brought this charge.

Everyone in DC knows what is going on, yet they ether allow it or support it. Eventually, the msm, deep state and uni-party are going to get their pound of flesh. My advice to Trump would be to get as much information about what happened out in the public as soon as he can. Even if it results in his removal, that may be inevitable anyway.

Rudy Giuliani, call your office! Last I heard from Rudy around September he was all excited about being on the cusp of a deal for the President to answer Mueller’s questions. Now that that’s been done I can see it’s really thrown Mueller of his game. We’re about 8 months in on Rudy’s pronouncement that this whole mess was
Going to wrap in 2 or 3 weeks.

No need to worry, Rudy was hired to end this thing in two weeks.

Not until Republicans unite against the swamp.

You are right. And Republican RINOs are involved also. Contact the Republican Governor’s Association. They have representatives like Hogan of Maryland blaming Trump for losses in midterm.

These garbage humans attacked him for the great loss of 40 seats. Yet they ignore the fact that the globalist Obama lost 60 seats in the House and lost seats in the Senate. Trump’s mid term performance was great on the face of it.

Not every Democrat is a globalist capitalist crook. Some of them are just out and out socialists who hate America.
But you CAN identify the globalist capitalist crooks in the GOP. ALL THE ONES
WHO ATTACK TRUMP, LIKE THAT FAT PIG HOGAN.

Republicans who love our Country, our Constitution and value western civilization and Judaeo-Christian morality
need to be heard by these traitors. We will NOT allow this man to be impeached..
Let them ponder what that means.

Yeah and they haven’t got much better. Deep-state counsel coupled with a deep-state compromised AG(Jeff the rat bastard Sessions) was a 2 pronged screwing of the POTUS.

Any counsel that is advising the mueller coup to continue should be skinned alive.

Other country’s have destroyed themselves for far less. It is going to take another Civil War to makes things really straight.

Unfortunately, they are legion. The marxist left have done a great job infiltrating every institution in America. The republican party included...

Bongino’s Book, "Spygate:" Exposes the Obama/Clinton Deep State Criminality
The American Thinker ^ | Nov 28, 2018 | Frank Hawkins / FR Posted by Jack Black

Former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino’s explosive new book (with D.C. McAllister), "Spygate: The Attempted Sabotage of Donald J. Trump," spotlights the left’s broken trust with the American people and the blatant criminality of the Obama/Clinton Deep State. Since the moment Donald J. Trump and his wife Melania glided down the Trump Tower escalator into history, the Democrats and the allies in the Deep State have been committed to crushing him. For Trump, it was obvious that draining the swamp was never going to be easy because everything possible would be done to disguise and protect the illegal activities of the Obama/Clinton administration. But who thought they would go this far?

Bongino has painted a highly detailed account of how the Obama administration criminalized our intelligence communities as well as other government agencies to stop Trump, and when that didn’t work to try and bring down the president of the United States (Excerpt) Read more at americanthinker.com ...

==============================

Bongino's book "Spygate" paints a highly detailed account of the Obama govt's MO to stop candidate Trump:
<><> how the Obama administration criminalized the US intel apparat,
<><> how Obama criminalized other government agencies.
Trump was elected despite these efforts, so Obama had to work fast to bring down the new President of the United States.

That explains the goofy, OMG! look on the Halfrican's face when he met Pres-elect Trump.

All the dirt Hillary was expected to sweep under the rug, was now in the hands of the man Obama tried to destroy.

"How'm I gonna get out of this mess with him as president?""I know .....we'll lie like hell.....nail Trump with Russian collusion charges."

And especially American seminaries: The resulting moral and spiritual degradation has infected the right far more than the left.

That is on Trump. He keeps hiring DC Swamp Dwellers as advisors and attorneys, no matter how they fail him.

There are plenty of patriotic attorneys across our Purple-Mountained Majesty that would have protected him.

They are not losers. All they have to do is get elected, then fall in line with the UniParty.

Even if We The People Cantorize them, they are (like Cantor) set for life in The Swamp - six or seven figures.

I do not want that kind of treacherous victory, but no, they are emphatically not (worldly) losers.

Do you imagine multi-millionaire Paul Ryan, who blocked Donald Trump and threw the election, feels like a loser?
