The very first and purportedly only press conference by special counsel Robert Mueller had the feeling of a Mount Sinai moment for Washington this week. Indeed, his message seemed to be the same as that of Moses, which is have faith and do not question. Mueller spoke some 1,200 words before virtually admonishing the press corps that “I hope and expect this to be the only time that I will speak to you in this manner.” After refusing to answer questions, he went back to the place from whence he came.
Last week, I wrote that it has become sacrilegious to question the motives or performance of Mueller. His press conference

Organized Crime(D) is trapped. None of their remaining options (going full-bore criminal/mafia, going gangsta violent, going even more laughably cow-fart deranged) can bear political fruit anymore, even with the Pravda-esque protective smokescreen of their Enemedia sleeper cells. What will the trapped animals do?

My first question to this weasel would be why did it take two years to come up with no answer as to whether Trump is guilty of a crime or not. You were not paid to come up with nothing more than insinuations that he did something wrong. Insinuations don't make a case of guilt or innocence in a court of law. You know that President Trump broke no law but you are slyly planting the seeds of doubt so the crazies on the left will start an impeachment action that is not warranted.
You should be sued for failing to do your job and forced to return the millions of dollars that this whole charade cost the taxpayers. Shame on you !!!

OK, Lindsay. Get the DC cops to haul Muller’s shriveled
keister out of bed at 4am into a holding cell so that he can
answer questions before a Senate committee in his pajamas
at 8 o'clock. He doesn’t live in DC? So what! This is a
Constitutional crisis (as the media has repeatedly told us) and
he’s the star witness with answers to lots of questions.

Deals have been made - he will never testify anywhere. This rat has been in Washington for many years and one wonders what other damage this rodent has done to the Republic and the innocent people in it.

Criminal guilt is based on what you actually DO. I can walk by a bank every day and mentally plan how I might rob it. If I never DO rob the bank, I am guilty of nothing. If I tell my poker group how I plan to rob the bank but never take actions to actually DO it, I am guilty of nothing.
Trump never DID anything that he could be found guilty of. He talked a lot of how the investigation was a fraud. It WAS. It may have even been a conspiracy. Yes, in frustration he told someone to fire Mueller. It was never DONE.
Meanwhile, Trump provided extraordinary access to WH and campaign personnel and their records. NOTHING requested was held back. THAT is what Trump DID.
Mueller couldn't make any case for criminal actions. So he decided to smear Trump instead. That is the act of a coward and liar. Barr had to pick up the pieces and make the CORRECT determination, that Trump did nothing wrong beyond expressing extreme frustration over an unfair and possible criminal assault on his presidency.

What happened wasn't a hearing. It was a show. In the end it was a fake hearing to allow a fake investigator to give fake testimony to fake leaders. The sole purpose was to give 'credibility' for impeachment.
Stay strong Mr. President! The Democrats are looking for a fight, and they aren't backing down.
The Democrats are reaching a point daring anyone to stop them. There behavior will become more and more outrageous. Watch the 2020 election. The voter fraud will be blatant. How many states will totally ignore the results and declare Democrats victors at all levels? How many non-citizens will be voting, and our 'justice' system will look the other way or outright declare it legal?
We have always known Robert Mueller is a partisan hack. What he did the other day is proof. He clearly coordinated his actions with the Democrats. He should be fired, and banned from law enforcement. He probably has broken the law.

Herr Mueller could not answer the questions, so he didn't take any.
The upside to an impeachment proceeding is that he could be questioned by Republicans, and he would be forced to answer those questions.
It would not go well for the Democrats.
(Although it is important to remember that Trent Lott and Rick Santorum undercut the Dollar Bill Clinton trial in the Senate, by limiting the prosecutor to one day of evidence, and no testimony. Most of the evidence was placed in a locked room, for Senators eyes only, and most of the Dimocrat senators did not look at the evidence.)

I know EXACTLY what Mueller is afraid of re: speaking to Congress or Committees: they will ask why the continuation, at great cost re: time and $, after it was discovered there was no there there; they will ask why people were put into solitary confinement and their families were threatened and why the FBI et al. showed up pre dawn with loaded guns for someone like Roger Stone; they will ask why PROCESS crimes are the only indictments his team has managed; they will ask why he felt, a la Comey, the need to make a judgement and IMPLY there was wrong doing without actual evidence, just to stir the pot re: impeachment; why his "team" was almost entirely rabid anti Trumpers, etc.. I hope he gets a subpoena and has to squirm!

And why Fox continues to feature "Judge Napolitano, who makes remarks like there are TEN reasons Trump could be indicted, is way beyond me. This low level New Jersey judge is made to look judicial, and yet, when he opens his mouth..........

Same as it ever was. The deep state just doubles down because members like Mueller KNOW from experience (can you say Whitey Bulger?) they will only be rewarded even when their crimes have been discovered and now even when they commit them in broad daylight in front of live cameras. Same as it ever was.

How long is this charade going to be allowed to continue? Mueller's parting shot is pathetic and laughable...I couldn't find sufficient evidence in two years to indict him, but I still think he's guilty of something, so you have my blessing to keep investigating without me while I retire to my villa so shut up and leave me alone. What professional prosecutor would even think of saying such a ridiculous thing?
The Democrats have been given a green light to investigate a new kind of "crime": Obstruction of Injustice.

Mueller's entire act was well-choreographed and more importantly, it was intentional. Otherwise why didn't Mueller's OFFICE or a spokesperson simply issue a statement indicating that there would be no further questions. El fin. Pack up your papers and close the doors.
The answer can only be that Mueller WANTED the drama. They ALL want the drama--- and they want it to continue right up to the midterms. 20+ candidates flooding the media 24/7 with a variety of lame charges vs. 1 person trying to continually fend off hyped-up nonsense as he tries to run a country.
This was not an attempted coup. It's an ongoing coup attempt.

I get the feeling Mueller isn't quick on his feet. This is why he appointed sharks to work with him...to make him look good. Sure, he was a former this and that. In Washington you don't have to have a high IQ to get appointed those positions which are mostly managerial. His body language is not reek of confidence and his history as a prosecutor is not the most ethical.

The Senate must call Mueller to testify and the first question the wimpy Republicans must ask Mueller, based upon evidence already in their hands, is when did you first know that President Trump did not “collude” with the Russians to steal the 2016 election from Hillary Clinton?
Obviously continuing the Special Counsel investigation long after that determination was made was a politically based attempt by Mueller and the Clinton supporting lawyers on his team to goad Trump into making statements and taking actions that would allow the investigation to conclusively report that Trump was guilty of obstructing the investigation into a charge that never existed. That’s not the way legitimate Department of Justice investigations are supposed to proceed.
We will see if the wimpy Republicans have the gonads to proceed!

If the Demo-rats in the House are dumb enough to impeach President Trump then the trial is held in the Senate with Chief Judge John Roberts presiding. The "jury" is the 100. They need 67 votes to convict and remove the POTUS and that ain't happening ... but still ... it's a trial and Trump is allowed to defend himself by calling witnesses. First one up? Mueller! Followed by Comey, Clapper, Brennan, et. al. If Joe diGenova and his wife Victoria Toensing are on Trump's cross-examining team along with Rudy and Jay Sekulow (with Mark Levine advising) they will open those guys up like baked clams.

I want to know how much of the investigation focused on Hillary Clinton and her campaign. Her campaign paid for the dossier. She sold Uranium to Russia during her time as Secretary of State. Her husband spoke in Russia and received a butt-load of money for doing so. Her foundation benefited from Russian connections.
So . . . was this investigation about Russian influence on an American presidential election? Or was it a witch hunt to find ANYTHING the powers that be could use to boot Mr. Trump?
