I was not surprised Dems – especially in the House – reacted
to Robert Mueller’s news conference with “impeach Trump”. The Dems and their
propaganda MSM wing have twisted, misrepresented facts and downright lied about
President Trump before, after and right up to the very present.
Mueller was forced to admit there was no crime of Donald
Trump working with the Russians to insure a 2016 election victory. Mueller did
inform what everyone has known for a long time – the Russians made an evil
effort to influence the 2016 election cycle. MUELLER’S EPIC FAILURE of what is probably closer to the truth: The
Russians gave aid to the Clinton campaign to influence the election and aid to
the Dems to make the effort to impeach President Trump after the election.
Trump committed NO election crime but because the President
wouldn’t fall for the perjury trap set for others involved in the 2016 campaign
with a personal interview, Mueller implied Trump made an effort to obstruct an
investigation where no crime existed.
AND THAT MY FRIENDS is why Mueller, Mueller’s 13 angry
Dem/Hillary donating Prosecutors AND the Dems are full of horse-pucky.
Since it is doubtful most news sources – spoken or written –
will let you know about Mueller/Dem horse-pucky, here are a series of
commentaries on the Mueller news conference.

Special
Counsel Mueller Gives Final Back Stabbing To Trump In Press Briefing To Help
Democrats
By Jim Kouri
May 30th, 2019
Special Counsel Robert Mueller held a special news
conference on Wednesday saying he couldn’t reach a conclusion on whether Donald Trump obstructed justice, as he stopped short of
delivering a full exoneration of the president. Mueller, using the craftiness
of a career lawyer and political operative chose his words to allow Democrats
in Congress to continue their deranged pursuit of destroying the President
using the criminal justice system and the impeachment process.
“If we had had confidence the president clearly did not
commit a crime we would have said so,” Mueller said. His briefing — which
denied questions from reporters — on the investigation showed he was
disappointed in not proving anything against Trump.
“That’s why Mueller left open the obstruction question,
something the Democrats are using to harass a President they despise,” said
political strategist Mike Barker. “The only good news I heard was Mueller
announcing that he was closing his office and resigning from public service,”
he added.
Mueller sent a clear signal to House Democrats who have
demanded his testimony that he won’t provide any information that hasn’t
already been made public. “Any testimony from this office would not go beyond
this report,” he said.
The special counsel also said he found “insufficient
evidence to charge a broader conspiracy” on election interference.
President Donald Trump’s newly appointed Attorney General,
while keeping a relatively low profile in his first days on the job, now
appears to have hit the ground running in his investigation of what many are
now calling The Trump-Russia Hoax.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, the Trump-hating Democrats and
news media were taken-aback when they discovered Barr had already begun his
probe of the now-famous Hillary Clinton bought and paid for “dirty dossier.”
Barr selected U.S. Attorney for Connecticut John Durham to
investigate the origins of the Justice Department’s and the Federal Bureau of
Investigation’s probe of — and spying on —
the Trump presidential campaign in 2016. The questionable
investigation continued into the Trump transition and his early weeks as
Commander-in-Chief.
John Durham, who is the U.S. Attorney in Connecticut, was
appointed by Attorney General Bill Barr. He will examine the FBI’s decision to
open a counterintelligence investigation into the actions and motives for
interfering in the election and “chasing” members of President Donald Trump’s
campaign team using arguably misleading or false evidence to obtain warrants.
The now famous “dirty dossier” is based on lies and innuendo provided by a
foreign agent, a former British MI6 officer Christopher Steele.
Deep State Suspects in Conspiracy to Overthrow an Elected
President
Is this, as the media claims, a professional and objective
team of crimefighters committed to solving an alleged crime? or was this is a
coup d’etat to destroy the election of Donald Trump and and move to impeach
him, which Mueller and his cronies had hoped would discredit the “people’s
revolution” against the Deep State that Trump has fashioned.
“This horrendous nightmare is taking place because of the
collectivist corruption of the DOJ and the FBI under Obama, Clinton and the two
Bushes. Corruption in practice takes place in men’s institutions only after
corruption of ethics and ideology takes place in their minds. Moral
relativism (along with political collectivism) took over the minds of our
professors, politicians and prosecutors in the aftermath of World War II and
exploded throughout our culture from the 1960s to today. The chickens are now
coming home to roost and usher in an authoritarian society,” said Jeffrey
Longeran, a former criminal/civil investigations manager.
Conservatives in Congress should show they have spines and
they should counterattack Hillary Clinton a[t] the Deep State with an
investigation of the egregious “Uranium One” money grab in which she authorized
the sale of 20% of America’s uranium to Russia, which brought tens of millions
of dollars into the Clinton Foundation from Russian sources.
The fingerprints of Mueller, Weissmann and Rosenstein are
also on the Uranium One deal, for they worked assiduously to facilitate and
protect its completion, knowing full well but not caring that it compromised
American security. Because their stalwart political horse, Hillary Clinton, was
benefiting. Thus the Deep State’s aggrandizement was benefiting.
“This scenario is unbelievable. The Mueller Probe corruption
is something we would expect to find in an African or Latin American country,
or one of the Nazi Show Trials under judges who took an oath to serve Adolph
Hitler in the 1930’s. It is the result of obsessively partisan FBI leaders that
have let their ideology and hatred influence their role as policemen.

Mueller:
‘I couldn’t find a Trump-Crime…so it’s Time to Impeach him!’
By Sher Zieve
May 30, 2019
I have never before witnessed such a sham of a legal system
or—even worse—experienced the horror that the real criminals were the ones
running it. The additional horror is that other gangsters have and/or are
replacing those who have been fired (some likely awaiting the day when they
will be arrested) or have run for the proverbial hills upon realizing what may
soon be revealed. Having personally experienced this lifetime for not
quite—but getting closer each day—a century, I do have some small perspective
with regards to history. Mueller—with all of the Trump-haters on his
staff—could find that President Trump committed no crime. So, in his own
rather sleazy way, he turned it over to Congress to impeach him. This is
the caliber of human being we currently have in upper management within the
bowels of the US government.
I, and certainly others, have written about Robert Swan
Mueller III and his apparent crimes committed over the years under the color of
law. One of these was sending 4 innocent people to prison, in order to
protect the murderer Whitey Bulger who had been designated “an informer” to and
for Mueller’s FBI. Mueller had also interviewed with President Trump to
get his old job as FBI Director back. But, President Trump didn’t choose
him. Uh-oh! However, Mueller was chosen by Assistant Attorney
General Rod Rosenstein as “Special Counsel” to head up the investigation of
President Trump; whom he at the very least intensely disliked.
To briefly recap, this investigation was built upon a
foundation of sand which included the following:
·
A self-proclaimed Trump-hater and (former?)
British MI-6 agent who worked with some Russians to create (out of whole cloth)
the now-infamous “Trump Dossier”:
·
The Clinton Campaign and DNC funded the
“dossier”: “The DNC and Clinton campaign-funded research continued
through the end of October 2016, according to the Post’s report.
·
The “dossier” was requested and paid for by the
Clinton Campaign. Excerpt: “According to the report, lawyer Marc E.
Elias, who represented both Clinton’s campaign and the DNC, and his law firm
Perkins Coie retained the firm Fusion GPS in April 2016 to investigate any
connections, according to the Post. Before then, a still-unknown Republican
client funded Fusion GPS’ research during the Republican primaries. Fusion had
hired former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele to conduct the
research.”
·
The Mueller investigation began as a
counter-intelligence investigation which metastasized into a full-blown
criminal investigation…with NO CRIME mentioned! As a stated crime is
required by law before this type of investigation may begin, Mueller’s
investigation…was illegal from its inception. As a very large side-note
“collusion” is still not a crime.
·
If there is no underlying crime…there can be
no “obstruction of justice!”
The crimes which were committed by members within our own
governmental agencies (DOJ/FBI, CIA, NSA etc.) are the greatest uncovered in
the history of our country and are vast to the point that the uncovering of the
worldwide Deep State conspiracy against POTUS Trump continues.
Note: Within the UK, it appears to reach the very highest levels of
government.
IMO, Mueller has been a dirty cop for decades (also remember
his “Uranium One” activities indicating alleged treason) and he doesn’t appear
to have any intention of changing. Our country was close to demise before
Donald J. Trump was resoundingly elected to the presidency of the USA.
Considering all of the blocks placed in his way by the DNC, RINOs and US
government “intelligence” agencies Trump’s accomplishments are nothing less
than remarkable…and legendary. Think what he will accomplish in his
second term of office…
“There are six things that the Lord
hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and
hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that
make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who
sows discord among brothers”—Proverbs 6:16-19

Watch President Calls for Investigation Into Mueller

The president of
Judicial Watch, Tom Fitton, who investigates government corruption, is calling
for an investigation into Robert Mueller.
According to The Daily Caller:
According to The Daily Caller:
Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton called for an investigation into
Robert Mueller for suggesting “wrongdoing by an innocent person without any
foundation.”
...
“Well, I don’t know what reputation he had that deserved any credence until now, but it’s no longer there,” Fitton told Dobbs. “He’s really destroyed whatever reputation he’s had with this political attack on the president, turning the rule of law on its head, suggesting the president is guilty and, because he can’t prove otherwise, we should conclude that he should be impeached.”
Calling it “an abuse of power,” Fitton said that Attorney General Barr has been “too deferential” to Mueller and should have “shut down” the “report before it was even written.”
“[I]t’s been abuse piled on top of abuse targeting President Trump,” Fitton said. “And this Mr. Mueller, he needs to be investigated as well. The office of professional responsibility should be asking, ‘Why did this Justice Department prosecutor come out and suggest wrongdoing by an innocent person without any foundation?’ Because there is no foundation. If there was a foundation, there would have been indictments or requests for an indictment while highlighting that. Outrageous.”

there is a strong possibility that Mueller and Comey could have colluded in
order to direct the investigation in a negative way against the president.

DERSHOWITZ BLASTS MUELLER FOR
'EXCEEDING HIS ROLE'
Statement 'worse'
than Comey's regarding Hillary scandal
May 29, 2019

Mueller, left, acknowledges applause during then-President Barack Obama’s
remarks on June 21, 2013. Obama had announced James Comey, right, as his
nominee to succeed Mueller as FBI director (Official

Special counsel
Robert Mueller’s statement Wednesday that “if we had confidence that the
president clearly did not commit a crime we would have said that” is worse than
then FBI Director James Comey’s statement about the FBI’s probe of Hillary
Clinton, said Alan Dershowitz, emeritus professor at Harvard Law School.
“Comey was
universally criticized for going beyond his responsibility to state whether
there was sufficient evidence to indict Clinton,” he
wrote Wednesday in The Hill. “Mueller, however, did even more.”
Comey declared in a
July 2016 press conference that “although we did not find clear evidence that
Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the
handling of classified information, there is evidence that they were extremely
careless in their handling of very sensitive highly classified information.”
Dershowitz said
Mueller, at his news conference at the Justice Department announcing his
resignation as special counsel, “went beyond the conclusion of his report and
gave a political gift to Democrats in Congress who are seeking to institute
impeachment proceedings against President Trump.”
“By implying that
President Trump might have committed obstruction of justice, Mueller
effectively invited Democrats to institute impeachment proceedings,” he said.
Dershowitz noted
that obstruction of justice is a “high crime and misdemeanor” which, under the
Constitution, authorizes impeachment and removal of the president.
WND
reported earlier Wednesday Mueller’s claim that the Office of Legal Counsel guidance
specifying that a sitting president cannot be indicted was the reason for not
coming to a conclusion about obstruction conflicts with Attorney General
William Barr’s testimony.
Barr told Congress
on May 1 that at a March 5 meeting with Mueller, the special counsel told him “that
he emphatically was not saying that, but for the OLC opinion, he would have
found obstruction.”
No longer defending Mueller
Dershowitz said
he no longer is defending Mueller against the accusations that he is a
partisan.
“I did not believe
that he personally favored either the Democrats or the Republicans, or had a
point of view on whether President Trump should be impeached. But I have now
changed my mind.”
The law professor
said Mueller revealed his bias by putting his “elbow” on the scale of justice.
Mueller also
has distorted the role of a prosecutor who “should never go beyond publicly
disclosing that there is insufficient evidence to indict.”
“No responsible
prosecutor should ever suggest that the subject of his investigation might
indeed be guilty even if there was insufficient evidence or other reasons not
to indict,” Dershowitz said.
He pointed out that
federal investigations by prosecutors, including special counsels, are by
nature one sided, hearing only evidence of guilt.
“They are not in a
position to decide whether the subject of the investigation is guilty or is
innocent of any crimes.”
Dershowitz said
he “cannot imagine a plausible reason why Mueller went beyond his report and
gratuitously suggested that President Trump might be guilty, except to help
Democrats in Congress and to encourage impeachment talk and action.”
“Shame on Mueller
for abusing his position of trust and for allowing himself to be used for such
partisan advantage,” he wrote.

Mueller Just Proved His Entire
Operation Was A Political Hit Job That Trampled The Rule Of Law
At a hastily arranged Wednesday press conference,
Special Counsel Robert Mueller proved that he was never interested in justice
or the rule of law.
By
May 29, 2019
If there were any
doubts about Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s political intentions, his
unprecedented press conference on Wednesday should put them all to rest. As he
made abundantly clear during his doddering reading of a prepared statement that
repeatedly contradicted itself, Mueller had no interest in the equal
application of the rule of law. He gave the game, and his nakedly political
intentions, away repeatedly throughout his statement.
“It is important
that the office’s written work speak for itself,” Mueller said, referring to
his office’s 448-page report. Mueller’s report was released to the public by
Attorney General William Barr nearly six weeks ago. The entire report, minus
limited redactions required by law, has been publicly available, pored through,
and dissected. Its contents have been discussed ad nauseum in print and on
television. The report has been speaking for itself since April 18, when it was
released.
If it’s important
for the work to speak for itself, then why did Mueller schedule a press
conference in which he would speak for it weeks after it was released? The
statement, given the venue in which it was provided, is self-refuting.
Let’s start with the
Mueller team’s unique take on the nature of a prosecutor’s job. The standard
American view of justice, affirmed and enforced by the U.S. Constitution, is
that all are presumed innocent absent conviction by a jury of a specific charge
of criminal wrongdoing. That is, the natural legal state of an individual in
this country is innocence. It is not a state or a nature bestowed by cops or
attorneys. Innocence is not granted by unelected bureaucrats or federal
prosecutors.
At one point in his
remarks, Mueller seemed to agree. Referring to indictments against various
Russian individuals and institutions for allegedly hacking American servers
during the 2016 election, Mueller said that the indictments “contain
allegations and we are not commenting on the guilt or innocence of any specific
defendant.”
“Every defendant is
presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.”
Had he stopped
there, he would have been correct. But then he crafted a brand new standard.
“The order
appointing the special counsel authorized us to investigate actions that could
obstruct the investigation. We conducted that investigation and kept the office
of the acting attorney general apprised of our work,” Mueller said. “After that
investigation, if we had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a
crime, we would have said so.”
According to Mueller
and his team, charged Russians are presumed innocent. An American president,
however, is presumed guilty unless and until Mueller’s team determines he is
innocent. Such a standard is an obscene abomination against the rule of law,
one that would never be committed by independent attorneys who place a fidelity
to their oaths and impartial enforcement of the law ahead of their political
motivations.
The contradictions
and double standards didn’t stop there, though.
“It would be unfair
to potentially accuse somebody of a crime when there can be no court resolution
of the actual charge,” Mueller said, after all but stating that Trump committed
a crime for which Mueller never charged him. Just as Mueller’s own words and
actions at the Wednesday press conference prove that he didn’t want his team’s
report to speak for itself, the report itself proves that Mueller and his team
don’t believe it’s unfair to accuse somebody of something a court cannot
resolve.
If they actually
believed that, then the 240-page volume II of their report on their obstruction
investigation of the president would never have been authored. After all,
according to Mueller’s own statement, such an operation would be patently
unfair. And if it’s unfair to air dirty laundry against a target who was never
charged, surely it’s doubly unfair to do so in writing and on camera during a
press conference whose mere existence refutes the very claims of its host.
Mueller revealed
himself as little more than a clone of James Comey—the smarmy, scheming
politician who replaced Mueller as the head of the FBI. Recall that it was
Comey who assumed for himself powers that did not belong to him by law when he
declared at a 2016 press conference no “reasonable prosecutor” would charge
Hillary Clinton with criminal wrongdoing in her mishandling of classified information
and unsanctioned use of a secret, private email server to evade public records
laws. Just as Mueller did in his report and Wednesday press conference, Comey
followed up his declaration that Hillary would not be charged with statement
after statement after statement of all the awful things Hillary Clinton did.
“There is evidence
of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified
information,” Comey said of Clinton. He excoriated her for repeatedly sending
and receiving top secret information on her unsecured server which had never
been authorized to process classified information. He even said it was
possible, due to her “extreme” carelessness, that hostile foreign actors had
penetrated her system and obtained highly classified information about U.S.
national security programs.
Regardless of how
you feel about Clinton, Comey’s display at that press conference was an
embarrassment. He did an extreme disservice to the nation and the rule of law
by unilaterally declaring himself the primary arbiter of prosecutorial
decisions in the federal government when that authority belongs solely to the
Department of Justice. And he did an extreme disservice to Clinton herself by
dragging her through the mud in such a manner that clearing her name would be
impossible.
In fact, DOJ
guidelines expressly prohibit the actions of both Comey and Mueller in naming
and shaming individuals who were never formally charged with any wrongdoing.
“As a series of
cases makes clear, there is ordinarily ‘no legitimate governmental interest
served’ by the government’s public allegation of wrongdoing by an uncharged
party, and this is true ‘regardless of what criminal charges may . . . b[e]
contemplated by the Assistant United States Attorney against the [third-party]
for the future,'” states DOJ’s formal policy manual on the duties of federal
prosecutors and principles of federal prosecutions.
Nationwide bar rules
governing all practicing attorneys in the United States also explicitly
prohibit Mueller’s display during Wednesday’s press conference.
“The prosecutor in a
criminal case shall … refrain from making extrajudicial comments that have a
substantial likelihood of heightening public condemnation of the accused,”
states Rule 3.8(f) of the American Bar Association’s rules of professional
conduct.
Multiple federal
agents and prosecutors reached out to The Federalist after Mueller’s press
conference to express dismay at the former FBI director’s behavior.
“I’d have been
crucified under this rule for a ‘not innocent’ comment about an uncharged
party,” a former federal prosecutor told The Federalist. “I literally cannot
fathom holding a press conference to say that an uncharged person was not
innocent.”
“I wish these former
FBI directors would learn their lessons: keep your mouths shut unless you’re
referring a case for prosecution,” Jeff Danik, a retired FBI supervisor, said
during a phone interview with The Federalist on Wednesday.
Mueller’s
performance made it clear for all to see that what he ran for the last two
years wasn’t an independent investigation pursuant to the rule of law so much
as an inquisition motivated by political animus. Mueller and his team refused
to charge prominent Democrats for crimes he charged against Republicans. Paul
Manafort was charged with unregistered lobbying for foreign governments, while
Mueller left alone long-time Democrat donor Tony Podesta and former Obama White
House Counsel Greg Craig.
George Papadopoulos
and Michael Flynn were charged with making false statements to federal
investigators, while Clinton campaign cronies Glenn Simpson and Christopher
Steele’s false statements to Congress and the FBI were ignored. Trump’s
nonexistent Russian connections were plumbed while a dubious Clinton
campaign-funded dossier sourced directly to Russian officials was used as a
prosecutorial roadmap rather than rock-solid evidence of actual campaign
collusion with the Kremlin.
Mueller claimed his
report spoke for itself, then put together a completely unnecessary press
conference more than a month after his report’s public release, in which he not
just spoke for the report, but expounded on the new legal standards he created
to govern its conclusions.
These are the
actions not of an impartial and independent investigator, but of a scheming
political operative. None of this is any surprise to anyone who has followed
Mueller’s tenure in government. As FBI director, Mueller repeatedly misused and
abused the authority granted to him by Congress.
Mueller and Comey
utterly bungled the federal investigation into the 2001 Anthrax attacks,
resulting in a $5.8 million judgment against the government after the two men
falsely accused an innocent man of being behind the attacks.
Even after the court
judgment against him, Mueller was defiant.
“I do not apologize
for any aspect of the investigation,” Mueller said afterward. He then doubled
down and said it would be wrong to say there were any mistakes in how he
handled the investigation.
Then there was
Mueller’s handling as FBI director of a case in which FBI agents framed
innocent men of murders the FBI knew had been committed by their own
informants. One of the innocent men died in prison awaiting justice for a crime
he never committed.
Then, as special
counsel to investigate Russian collusion during the 2016 campaign, Mueller
promptly hired partisan Democrats to run his investigation. He tapped as
investigators FBI personnel who openly discussed their hatred of Trump and his
voters, as well as their plans to keep him out of office.
There’s no longer
any doubt about who Robert Mueller is or why he conducted himself the way he
did. As abominable as his press conference was, we should in many ways be
thankful that Mueller so willingly displayed for all to see his disdain for
basic rules of prosecutorial conduct, his total lack of self-awareness, and his
naked desire to stick it to Trump.
