Trump blasts Mueller probe

[Fentoine Lum]

especially cnn and pmsnbc

Can I get an enemy-of-the-people amen up in here?

[Wolverine]

You people are just totally deluded. How does anyone get so in the thrall of a con man like Donald Trump. Even a moron should be able to see him for what he is.

Darth...if Donald Trump thought for one second that he could get away with it...

...Bob Mueller would be fired by dinnertime tonight.

Trump would do anything to have Mueller gone.

And the assholes who continue to support him...like YOU...probably want him gone also.

Not one thing has come out, and you know it would be leaked, or put out before the election if there was!

Yup.

You don’t leak ‘well, looks like we were had on the Russian thing’ lol.

[jimmymccready]

The Flake bill to ‘protect Mullet’ is amusing lol.

As one pundit put it, ‘he’s got the safest job in town’. You just can’t convince the lefties that Trump has no intention of firing Mullet.

You are delusional.

[Frank Apisa]

Frankie, if Trump was guilty Mullet would have been gone months ago.

If Trump knew he was guilty, he takes the political hit and fires Mullet—because it’s his only chance for survival. Learn to think for yourself instead of listening to idiot cable pundits.

The last thing you should be doing is lecturing someone else on thinking independently, Darth.

Trump owns you assholes. All you are allowed to do is say BAA when required.

He has been advised that the political hit of ordering Mueller fired is too large to take...and has held off.

But now that the midterms are done...I think he will make the move.

And then you assholes will abandon the "he is not going to do it"...and start with the reasons why he had to do it.

You are fucking chumps...and you are traitors to America.

Really!

And how would I know it???

[Tranquillus in Exile]

screw Mueller and his partisan probe.. why isn't he looking at Hillary collusion?

I know that one! Because there wasn't any Hillary collusion.

Why isn't he going after deep state creeps?

That isn't in Mueller's remit. If Trump wants mythical Deep State conspiracies investigated, he'll have to appoint a new SP. The same guy could cover Pizzagate and the Sandy Hook hoax.

For the last 2 years the Repubs have been in charge of everything, why wasn't an investigation ordered?

[Rune]

Well, long enough for the house to impeach him for lying!

7 years

[Tkaffen]

Mueller has been investigating long enough at taxpayer expense. Let’s get the results and move on.

Another conservative in a hurry, Starr lasted four years, BenghaziGate, six, and now conservatives are in a hurry with Mueller who hasn't even been at two years now?

Hey, Hannity and the like have already litigated it, Hillary and the "deep state" are guilty of everything, they got Sean's word on it

The inner workings of the Mueller investigation are a total mess,” Trump wrote. “They have found no collusion and have gone absolutely nuts. They are screaming and shouting at people, horribly threatening them to come up with the answers they want. They are a disgrace to our Nation and don’t care how many lives the ruin.”

He continued: “These are Angry People, including the highly conflicted Bob Mueller, who worked for Obama for 8 years. They won’t even look at all of the bad acts and crimes on the other side. A TOTAL WITCH HUNT LIKE NO OTHER IN AMERICAN HISTORY!”

In his tweets, Trump misstated Mueller’s background. A registered Republican, he was nominated to be FBI director in 2001 by President George W. Bush. In 2011, President Barack Obama gave his original 10-year term a two-year extension.

Mueller was tapped to be special counsel last year by Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein, who started overseeing the Russia investigation after Sessions recused himself, citing his role in Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.

White House officials have sought in recent days to highlight their continuing cooperation with Mueller’s team despite Trump’s opinion of the probe.

During an appearance Thursday morning on CNN, Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) said he is concerned that Trump’s description of the “inner workings” of the Mueller investigation could signal that Whitaker is inappropriately sharing details about it with the president.

“Of course with this president, we don’t know. He may have simply made that up because he lies all the time,” said Nadler, who is in line to become chairman of the Judiciary Committee when Democrats take control of the House in January.

Nadler said it appears to him that Whitaker was appointed with the “express purpose of being a hatchet man to sabotage this investigation.”

More than two hours after his initial tweets Wednesday about the Mueller investigation, Trump returned to the subject later, accusing Mueller of protecting 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, several former FBI officials and “all of his friends on the other side.”

Universities will someday study what highly conflicted (and NOT Senate approved) Bob Mueller and his gang of Democrat thugs have done to destroy people,” Trump wrote. “Why is he protecting Crooked Hillary, Comey, McCabe, Lisa Page & her lover, Peter S, and all of his friends on the other side?”

Mueller’s job is not one that requires Senate approval.

Trump did not spell out why he thinks Mueller is “highly conflicted.”

In the past, Trump and White House officials have alluded to an alleged dispute over fees when Mueller resigned in 2011 as a member of the Trump National Golf Club in Northern Virginia. A spokesman for Mueller, who was FBI director at the time, said there was no dispute when Mueller left the club.

In another tweet Wednesday, Trump repeated a previous assertion that the only collusion in 2016 was between Russia and Democrats, and he lashed out at social media companies, accusing them of favoring Democrats. “That’s the real Collusion!” Trump wrote
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has been blocking a bipartisan effort to protect Mueller’s investigation through legislation, saying he has seen no evidence that the White House will shut it down.

The bill would give any fired special counsel the ability to swiftly challenge their termination before a panel of three federal judges.

On Wednesday, the Justice Department released a memorandum defending the legality of Trump’s appointment of Whitaker, rejecting criticism from some lawyers that the move violates the Constitution.

Since the announcement last week, some have charged that Whitaker, who served as the chief of staff to Sessions, is ineligible to serve as head of the Justice Department because he is not a Senate-confirmed official.

On Tuesday, Maryland Attorney General Brian E. Frosh, a Democrat, asked a federal judge to block Whitaker’s appointment, arguing that Rosenstein should instead take on the role.

This ladies and gentlemen...is exactly why you shouldn't listen to right wing nut jobs.

They lie about EVERTHING.

The absurdity of this post is a classic example of why these fools need to be kicked to the curb.

Wake up white America, you are being bamboozled.

You are fucking chumps...and you are traitors to America.

He will make the move only when he feels compelled to.

Trump knows whether or not he has anything to fear from Mullet. If he hasn’t done anything, it would be utter stupidity on his part to fire Mullet. If that’s the case, you take to Twitter and castigate Mullet’s investigation, call it a Witch Hunt [because it is] but you otherwise don’t interfere with it.

What has Trump done so far, Frankie?

In fact, Rosenstein gave Trump a golden opportunity to pull the plug on Mullet. Rosenstein absolutely deserves to be fired—but Rosenstein still has his job. Firing Rosenstein would have thrown a wrench in Mullets perverse little charade.

But Trump just sits there. You know why? He holds a few cards of his own. And I get the idea Mullet is growing aware of it.

It explains Trump Tweeting about chaos in the investigation.
