Former FBI Director Robert Mueller Appointed Special Counsel To Oversee Investigation Into Russian Interference and Alleged Trump "Collusion"
Wonderful.
Special counsels never shut down. Unless the special counsel were hypotheticlally named James Comey, investigating the Clintons. He was appointed by Rod Rosenstein, who is making the call, because the media/Democrat campaign forced AG Sessions into recusing himself from all aspects of this case. Quote from Rosenstein: "In my capacity as acting attorney general [at least in this matter, where Sessions has recused himself], I determined that this is in the public interest for me to exercise my authority to appoint a special counsel to assume responsibility for this matter. My decision is not a finding that crimes have been committed or that any prosecution is warranted." They've engineered this coup well.Comments

But how do we know what was said in that conversation? We "know" because an unmasked transcript was given to, or in the hands of, Sally Yates who (gleefully) rushed it to the WH as evidence of Flynn's perfidy.
Sally Yates is the provenance of this transcript. Would she doctor it to remove someone who was going to be a problem for the Left in days to come? Is there any piece of evidence that the Left in the agencies wouldn't alter for their own benefit? Is there any that they couldn't alter and leave no trace of their having done so?
Rathergate was a crude forgery done to destroy a presidential candidate and it almost worked. How much better can the pros do?
I hope, pray, that the President has recorded every meeting, every phone call that he and his closest advisers have made. The people doing this, their entire network, inside and outside the government needs to be taken down. And have the evidence publicly shown so all can look at it and see just how deep the rabbit hole of lies and disinformation goes.
If Mueller could/would do that great. But likely not. Maybe he can have Jamie Gorelick assist, she's so great in these investigations.

1. Politicians are interested in being elected above all else.
2. Beyond money, therefore, they are obsessively interested in voters and their perceptions.
3. They believe the media strongly influences voters
4. The Dems and the media are one and the same
5. Thus they will bow like craven dogs to the Dems every single time
Oh, and in this case almost all of official Washington hates Trump and wants to destroy him.
Anyone remember that line by Higgins in 'Three Days of the Condor' that goes something like 'you are about to become a very lonely man'? Trump is already there.
I hope he replaces Reince with Steve Bannon and just goes full-bore balls-to-the-wall. And he just might. Unlike previous GOP presidents, he will fight.

Oh man oh man. This is gonna go on for a year. Why does Rosenstein even think its worth the time? don't answer that, we all know.
If I try to think of something positive other than what is really going on here, maybe Mueller will expand the investigation into the Clinton-Russia connection.

My problem with it is if you want to find something you will, and then you get into situations like Scooter Libby where the investigation itself became where the crime was committed.
Trump basically got in trouble because he said "enough of this shit, move on" even though the actual investigation had produced jack shit, this is where they are trying to nail him.
I'm almost of the opinion he should just pardon Flynn formally and give everyone a civics lesson about how the President is empowered to make decisions like that

Do they? I think it's a pretty effective way of co-opting the issue from the Congressional Democrats. And with Sessions previous recusal the Dems have no reason to object.
Remember as we discuss this that Trump obviously knows there was no Russian collusion, and that no real evidence could exist. Made up innuendo and unsubstantiated allegations will exist whether or not there's an investigation. But the investigation can suck out the oxygen from the issue.

Same here.
Mueller starts with the "finding" that the Russians were behind the DNC/Podesta leaks that were Wikileaked. That and allegations that the Russians systematically created Fake News.
But beyond that, there is No There There that anyone in the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians on this. Assuming the Russians are "guilty" there's was no need or reason for the Russians to collude. I'm not even convinced that they wanted or expected Trump to win.
The Known Unknown is where else Mueller goes.

Assuming Trump is reelected, This is going to keep CNN, MSNBC, etc, etc, (Oh, and that weird chick, Lois Mentsch), busy for a long, long time.
On the bright side, I got the flywheel off my mower! Yes! Y'all gonna hate me for this, but this is how I accomplished it:
1. I used a solvent to clean all grease, and penetrating oil from the work area.
2. I poured copious amounts of boiling water over the work area.
3. I let it sit in the sun for a while, then dried the work area.
4. I then soaked it liberally with WD-40, believing that water between shaft and flywheel would be displaced by the lubricant.
5. I drank a few beers, or so.
6. Smacked it twice with a rubber mallet, and it popped right off.

The flywheel puller was on it, and under considerable tension throughout.
I reassembled the engine, with new shear pin, gapped the armature, gapped the valves, tweaked the carb, and it's running like it's new. I've still got one electrical fault to clear, but I'll be mowing tomorrow.

Chuck Schumer. He is the future, I thought to myself.
I turned my head and looked at the man next to me. Good old Preet. Confident and calm, his expression of placid, assured enlightment calling to mind some ancient carving of the Hindu god Vishnu. And well he should be, as we both knew everything was well in hand.
"Six ways from Sunday" he had said? If anything, Schumer had understated the situation.
"The appointment of a Special Counsel, while a belated acknowledgement from the Trump administration that serious wrongdoing has occurred, is not an end but a beginning," Schumer was saying. "To begin to lift the cloud of taint that has enveloped his administration, we expect to see a new FBI Director that all of us, Democrats and Republicans, can have confidence in."
As I stood there, the faces of recent years flooded into my consciousness.
The unflappable Jim Clapper, beavering away for years in the bowels of the intelligence community, laying the foundation of the deep state. They can vote for whomever they like, but never again will the deplorable trash of flyover country take the controls of our government like some drunken, belligerent passenger barging into the cockpit of an airliner.
The ever-planning John Brennan, as-salamu alaykum, unwilling to be bound by the conventions of an Islamophobic American society. Though he had many enemies, he was always a step ahead of them.
Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch, protectors of our public servants, like a pair of winged lions at the entrance to a Babylonian throne room.
Hillary, accompanied in my memory as always by her ever-present aide Huma, demanding that we move beyond the outdated architecture of a society that appeared too often to hinder rather than encourage progress. Would I fall on my sword for her? As many times as needed.
And Susan Rice, like some cartoon superhero with her super power being the willingness to say anything we needed her to say, always knowing she would receive her reward.
We will prevail. Because we have to.

I'm waiting for the Dems to start complaining the Robert Mueller was Bush's appointee to the FBI and therefore, he is too political.
Mueller is a special counsel, not a special prosecutor. He is there to oversee this investigation, not to charge people with crimes.
When he finally comes out and says that there are no evidence of any Russian collusion, payments, promises, etc. in exchange for hacking the DNC, then the Republicans will feel all better about saying there was no collusion.
The Democrats will not accept it.
Here is my question.
Why is the FBI, which is supposed to be investigating domestic matters, conducting a counter intelligence investigation into a foreign agent?
Why isn't there a special counsel to the CIA?

If Sessions had picked a Special Counsel it'd be called partisan. With Sessions recused on things Russian, the call went to DOJ #2 Rosenstein, who's a Trump pick.
You could see this coming. So either Trump mis-played it, or saw this as one of his options.
Schumer can't hold up things anymore, including the appointment of a new FBI director, which is when the fun begins.

It means the bureaucracy in Washington gets to decide who is president. Does anyone think they will stop there? It will make the leftist bolder and far more aggressive then they have been, because weakness always encourages the aggressor. It will reward the most crooked politicians in Washington at the expense of the most honest. How can you be honest with deep state getting to decide who stays and who goes?
It will also create a new pro-American populist movement that will be part political party, part armed militia. That is not a joke, in fact that is how our country was founded in the first place. When people feel they have been screwed, and have lost faith in the rule of law and the political institutions...what do they do?
I felt this was destined to happen once the left went unhinged long before Trump. He is simply the Carney in the coal mine...
A deep state win, is a massive defeat for a Republican form of government. Heck It is not even a win for a pure Democracy. It is a win for Oligarchy.

Mueller is semi-retired and will supervise the special counsel's office from 30,000 feet.
Lawyers politically-connected to the Democrats and the GOPe will be appointed to staff the office (bipartisan!).
They will put a together a team of Democrat-leaning FBI investigators who are veterans from the effort to whitewash Hillary.
There will be extensive use of the grand jury, a complete investigation of Trump and everything and anyone ever connected to him, with the power to grant immunity to small fish and seize evidence with subpoenas.
Will they ever get around to actually taking possession of and forensically examining the DNC server that was purportedly hacked by the Russians? Probably won't have the time or resources to fit that in, given all the other many things the office of special counsel will be investigating.

The DOJ is the center of power in our country, because our government is so corrupt.
With Sessions in power as the AG and Comey out at the FBI, as Sessions and the new FBI director slowly take control over their institutions over the coming months and years, the Ruling Class loses access to investigatory and prosecutorial power to protect its members and persecute its enemies.
But the Special Counsel's office gives them back both investigatory and prosecutorial power, at least for anything related to Trump and Russia or anything the Special Counsel's office thinks it can spin as being related to that.
Obama, Holder and Lynch all understood that perfectly and there is no way in a million years they ever would have appointed a special counsel.

Nope ... cuz they know the leakers ... they know of the Clinton crimes, they know that "too big to fail/jail" is a ruse to protect billionaire donors.
What about Hillary telling bankers something completely different than her campaign as she collects big bucks off those promises. Did that influence the election more than Podesta giving away access to his account so we could find out the truth?
Comey has been a fixer for the Clintons ... Holder ran guns to cartels and lied to congress about it ... FBI hears no evil see no evil when it comes to the Democrat crime family.

209 "You could see this coming. So either Trump mis-played it, or saw this as one of his options. "
Yep. I don't know how much was a plan and how much was an improvisation, but I think this was an outcome Trump wanted. Either way the Democrats have just been outplayed.
Lest ye doubt, this was the kind of Br'er Rabbit move he'd regularly pull off during the campaign. One horrible campaign-ending mistake after another, each somehow inexplicably resulting in his opponent saying and doing things that were to his advantage.

They had zero to do with that, absolutely nothing. People who supposedly used Russian-style hacking techniques broke into Hillary Clinton's servers, but we have no idea what they got because none of that has ever been leaked.
Podesta's emails were handed to Wikileaks by 2 or more (they mentioned at least 2) disgruntled DNC staffers, probably one of whom was Seth Rich. Not Russians.
Two separate cases. I know the media has gone overtime to confuse the two and yell squirrel so nobody talks about the horrendous content of the Democratic Party's behavior in those emails but its not one case.

The FBI already knows what happened in the Seth Rich matter, has been sitting on it, and told the DC police to stand down and shut up, according to Rod Wheeler.
Because this is a counter-intelligence matter, there is only a small group of FBI agents who can work on this Special Counsel investigation - the FBI Counter-Intelligence Division, the same people who handled the investigation of Hillary's server, who took Weiner's laptop away from the NYPD, and who took the Seth Rich matter away from the DC police, according to Rod Wheeler.
This Special Counsel investigation will be a fishing expedition against Trump, and a protective blanket for deep state malfeasance and corruption.

The special prosecutor will get something no matter how long it takes, who it is, whether its remotely related to the Russians, or how much it costs. They just keep going until they get a scalp.

The DOJ has always had the ability to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate matters that they felt had a conflict of interest. You are thinking of something similar, the Office of the Independent Counsel. That redheaded stepchild of the Democrats was an unconstitutional effort to have a federal prosecutor outside of the DOJ that reported to Congress. The law was allowed to expire after everyone in DC saw what a failure it was.

Assange is a jackoff and a spy, but nothing at all he's ever leaked or stated has ever been false or demonstrated to be questionable or shaky. Nobody, ever, has said "that's a lie" about Wikileaks. They've never been questioned about their content, only their judgment and methods. There's zero reason to say Assange is trolling or lying or in any way untrustworthy.

Believe it or not, I agree in the case of Hillary, but not for the intent reason. As I've posted before, she would be tried in either DC or NY, and there is zero chance in either place of getting a jury that does not include at least one die-hard Democrat who would never, evr vote to convict her, no matter how damning the evidence. She could rob a bank, wave and smile at the TV cameras, and still not be convicted. Under those circumstances, she is effectively unprosecutable. The best we can ever hope for is that she is named as an unindicted co-conspirator and that Huma, Cheryl Mills, etc. all get convicted.

I have no idea on what will happen at the end of this, except that
none of the things I hoped for in a Trump presidency with a GOP house
and senate will happen. Namely, tax reform, obamacare totally dead, and
immigration defense. I will get squat. I didn't even care about scotus
because john roberts happens. Amazing that his agenda is dead in the
water in 4 months. When the dems have all 3 they just roll the tanks,

Hillary Rodham Clinton will never be President. I'm still in the Flight 93 election camp. Todd Beamer didn't know how to fly an airplane, and maybe that would have ended badly if they had taken over the airplane, but they knew for sure what would happen if they didn't. So they had no choice but to try.

Or a small business owner.
Or a Texas rancher. Or any of the tens of thousands that attended his rallies.
You can't hear their voices because they don't have a voice. The media that is supposed to represent them abandoned them. Their representatives abandoned them.
Trump is their voice and their representative. They voted for him and he won.
And the DC elite has declared war on them , in the person of Trump, once again.

4. The scope takes Russian involvement as a given. Yet the "17 Agencies" (which were really only 3, and even then by just a handful of Brennan stooges) have never looked at the DNC server. Why? That server is chock full of felonies.
That server investigation was done by a private firm. Yet Democrats insist that public policy be made from their own private investigation of themselves.

In fact, rejoice... you just got a reboot on liberal angst and salty tears!

This will empower the Uniparty...or it won't.
This was a bad idea...or it wasn't.
And barring someone doing something monumentally rash, the odds we can influence any part of it are approximately nil.
So find better things to worry about, while taking proper precautions.

Yea, I am mostly with you on this. Except I have developed a fondness for Trump, although not to the extent that I care if he gets burned by something be brings on himself!
But I definitely wonder about the fallout.
So far I don't think it's going to fall out the way the Dems hope, but we will see.

I was never under any illusion that Trump was a conservative. But he's not Hillary.

Trump has survived for some reason, and that's the best explanation offered thus far. Cooling down some, I have to acknowledge the Deep State strategy here was to neuter Trump and they think Mission Accomplished. Somehow I doubt it.

Huh? Are you young?
Neil MF'n Gorsuch! Ginsburg and Kennedy will be replaced by Trump.
The victory was complete and bigly significant. Rejoice...this is all gravy.

The American people voted for a peaceful revolution in 2016. The powers that be are doing everything in their power to reverse that revolution.
JFK: "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable."

I think this works out well for Trump. I expect Mueller to do more damage to the Dems on this one due to the unmasking which I don't think he will ignore.
He'll also come to the conclusion on reviewing the non existent evidence that the Collusion is a nothingburger or even before that conclude there's no crime in the situation even if they did conclude. There's nothing to study here. Same for the Trump obstruction of justice.

In 2000 the left set themselves on fire claiming Bush stole the election. Then they blamed 9/11 on him. The moan finally died out after 2004 election.
Vote or die!, yo..

In the big picture.. it's all about the SCOTUS.
The left was setting up to flip that court and enact Hillary's sickest fantasies.
Hillary Clinton will never be president. Appreciate on that fact...it's what all this mess is about.

They have as much power as the Trump-hating GOPe gives them. And they're willing to give them plenty. Also, don't think that their near-monopoly on media isn't power.

This is about us.
Sixty three million, or whatever the frigging number is who voted for President Trump, are watching this circus.
So far, the only ones in the arena are our enemies running around like chickens with their heads cut off.
Meanwhile, we are here.
Watching and waiting to enter the arena.
If needed.

Trump supporters, the deplorables remember, we are now turning our attention en masse back to politics.
You see, we had been busy moving the economy and our families forward.
Now we have realized that we have to keep our attention focused on politics as well. More battles to win.
We relish the struggle.
We are energized.
We are inside the arena facing you.
You just don't know it yet.

-the investigation could start with the server, which started this entire mess and include Rice et al
-the well timed announcement that there was nothing to these charges for midterms
I do wonder if Democrats are overplaying their hand a bit here. If I'm not atuned to media cycles and believe that the media is out to get the guy I elected, I view this as Democrats trying to steal the Presidency from the guy I supported. This might be red meat to the dark blue areas.
If I'm Trump, I keep going after jobs and tax cuts, I start hammering the GOP Congress to get bills in front of me.
