Flynn in major trouble for speaking to Russia about sanctions

[koriwhat]

I'd say it is much worse because your particular jihad has nothing to do with politics.

This is not the high school grudge forum.

yeah it's pretty pathetic. i don't even have any HS grudges because well, it was HS and that shit was almost 20 yrs ago. People who harp on shit from way back when must live a very lonely life; right fuzzy? lonely little bitch fuzzy. boofuckinghoo!

too scared to dox yourself but man(sheman) enough to act all righteous and whatnot here? that's what this is all about. you're just another pussy behind a screen. go back to reminiscing about your pathetic HS days and leave me the fuck alone already.

[koriwhat]

so did any of yall watch the 5hr rosenstein grilling or just me? interesting shit sort of.

as for comey and brannon, shouldn't they be in jail already for their contradicting statements while on the hill? hmm... there's laws for us and different laws for them i suppose.

[Reck]

And their lawyers undoubtedly told Mueller to GFH; he can subpoena under a narrow scope if necessary.

leave the speculation and thinking to the people who actually can, austist pedo.

[hitmanyr2k]

I had a feeling when it was revealed that Flynn was working with Mueller's team that we would see a ramped-up, coordinated attack from Republicans and their propaganda machines. Those guys are scared. For the last 12 months they've been trying to use the "Look Squirrel!!" distractions with the Susan Rice "unmasking" bullshit, the Seth Rich bullshit, Uranium One, etc. They seem to be running out of shiny objects to throw out. If this investigation is truly a "witch hunt" and supposedly nothing is going to come of it then why are Republicans so up in arms about it? Why not just let it go on its merry way and conclude? When Flynn went down it sent these guys into overdrive to try to discredit this thing :lol

FBI made a ton more edits to water down James Comey's statement on Clinton email probe


The FBI did far more editing of former FBI Director James Comey’s statement on their probe of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s private email server than previously known, edits that erased serious concerns the FBI initially had, according to a key senator.

In documents provided by Sen. Ron Johnson, chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, there were three major edits to Comey’s statement that seemed to absolve Clinton.

The changes included reducing Clinton’s “culpability” in the scandal, removing references to the intelligence community’s role in the probe, and downgrading the likelihood that spies had penetrated Clinton’s private server stuck in the basement of her New York home.

Johnson is now demanding that everybody connected to the process of writing and editing Comey’s statement be identified. “We are asking for everyone that edited the speech,” said a committee official.

He is also looking into the pro-Clinton, anti-President Trump bias in the probe.

To show the changes in the statement, Johnson produced a copy of Comey’s original statement with the edits that he planned to give in May 2016 closing out his investigation. They are dramatic and show the FBI went soft on Clinton.

https://html2-f.scribdassets.com/663kcvfxq86701fx/images/1-d567e1a405.jpg

Initially, the only major edit revealed was that FBI insiders cut out the reference to Clinton being “grossly negligent.” But it went much further.

For example, they cut out Comey’s initial plan to refer to the “sheer volume” of email on Clinton’s server. Johnson said that was in an effort to “deemphasize the amount of classified information” held on Clinton’s private server.

Johnson’s letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray also cited another major edit. “The edited version also contained a sentence that read, “This is especially concerning because all of these emails were housed on servers not supported by full-time security staff, like those found at the departments and agencies of the U.S. government.” Comey did not use that sentence in his final statement.

Comey was also planning to give credit to the intelligence community for helping in the Clinton probe, but that was cut out.

https://html2-f.scribdassets.com/3xgvmj01og67018z/images/1-ab1bdc586b.jpg

And there were edits, said Johnson, to “downgrade the likelihood that hostile actors penetrated Secretary Clinton’s private server.”

Before: “We also assess that Secretary Clinton’s use of a private email domain was both known by a large number of people and readily apparent. Given the combination of factors, we assess it is reasonably likely that hostile actors gained access to Secretary Clinton’s private email account.”

After: “Given that combination of factors, we assess it is possible that hostile actors gained access to Secretary Clinton’s personal email account.”

Former Clinton Strategist Thinks Hillary and Democrats Peddled the Trump Dossier to FBI


A new Harvard Harris Poll reveals that a majority of Americans believe the special counsel investigating supposed Trump-Russian “collusion” has a conflict of interest, and a former Clinton strategist says the country is facing a “crisis in public confidence” over it.

Mark Penn told Fox News’s Martha MacCallum the response to the poll shows “there is a crisis in public confidence in both the FBI and [special counsel] Mueller."

The pollster and former Bill Clinton strategist wrote in The Hill that people who don’t like Donald Trump believe “these investigations have veered off course” and that the FBI has gone rogue:

Our polling in November showed that 61 percent say the funding of the salacious GPS Fusion document should be investigated. Fifty-eight percent say that if Hillary Clinton and the Democrats funded the work, it could not be used by law enforcement.

Sixty-three percent of polled voters believe that the FBI has been resisting providing information to Congress on the Clinton and Trump investigations. This is a remarkable finding for an agency whose new head said a few days ago that the agency was in fine shape. No, it isn’t.

Fifty-four percent say special counsel Robert Mueller has conflicts of interest that prevent him from doing an unbiased job,

In The Hill, Penn suggested the Democrats “peddled” the salacious Trump dossier about this specific issue. Real Clear Politics reports this is how it went down when MacCallum asked Penn about it:

“You also suggest that the dossier may have been peddled to the FBI, what you mean by that?” FOX News host Martha MacCallum asked the former Clinton insider.

“Well, I think you see here, meetings that were held with FBI officials, the wife of one of the FBI officials was paid for [by Fusion GPS]. What I'm saying is theories that seemed far-fetched two months ago that this dossier was paid for by the Clinton campaign by the Democrats, peddled to the FBI, and then used to start the whole Russia investigation even though it has tremendous amounts of clearly false information. I would have said that was preposterous. But now that these facts emerge, the public is saying maybe this is true,” Penn said.

Penn says the poll was taken before the latest bombshell revelations of text messages between an FBI investigator and his mistress discussing with the FBI Deputy Director “Andy” McCabe having an "insurance policy” in case Trump won.

Penn wrote in The Hill he thinks he knows what that “insurance policy” was:

Former FBI Director James Comey, in showing the document to President Trump, didn’t tell him that it was funded by the Democrats because it was all an attempt to entrap him anyway — the insurance policy. A few months ago this certainly seemed far-fetched but today, with each new fact and with the failure of the officials to respond meaningfully to Congress, there is certainly more evidence behind these theories.

To top it off, most Americans now also see that the treatment being given to Trump aides is far harsher than occurred with Clinton’s aides, despite their being caught in obvious lies, claiming they did not even know about the email server.

Penn said the “crisis of public confidence” seen in this latest Harvard/Harris poll could escalate into a full-blown “constitutional crisis” unless someone has ”the courage to cleans it up.”

Dim. She doesn't hold office. She did not get to dictate the platform during the convention. In the past DNC election her people were replaced with Sanders or Obama people.

Here's Why Trump Would Be Making A HUGE Mistake In Killing The Mueller Probe


Should President Trump kill or impede the Mueller investigation?

The calls to do so have been growing louder after the revelation of new text messages between FBI top agent Peter Strzok and his FBI paramour, Lisa Page. As I wrote two days ago, Strzok’s anti-Trump texts aren’t particularly troublesome — government agencies have opinions on politicians — but one text regarding an “insurance policy” in case of a Trump win certainly is. Here’s the text message:

I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in [deputy FBI director Andrew McCabe’s] office that there's no way he gets elected -- but I'm afraid we can't take that risk. It's like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you're 40…

That sounds like a setup. And Strzok was both involved in the Hillary Clinton email investigation and initiation of the Trump-Russia probe — plus he was part of Mueller’s investigative team until the text messages were unearthed.

Now we’re hearing rumors that the Trump administration might fire McCabe:

941764336690847746

And, of course, President Trump signaled this morning that he might pardon former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, which would effectively end any cooperation between Flynn and the FBI.

So, should Trump move here?

No, he most certainly should not.

Why should he? He’s winning. Right now, a majority of the American public believes that Mueller has a conflict of interest thanks to his relationship with former FBI director James Comey. That’s thanks to a bevy of stories about members of the Mueller team with serious connections to high-ranking Democrats and serious bias against Trump. Furthermore, every charged leveled so far has nothing to do with election collusion, including Flynn’s guilty plea. In other words, this investigation’s legitimacy may already be fatally wounded.

In 1998, the Ken Starr investigation was fatally wounded publicly before it reached a conclusion. By February 1998, 62% of Americans thought Bill Clinton was hiding something, but 42% of Americans had an unfavorable opinion of Starr, as opposed to 25% who had a positive opinion. Fully 58% of Americans thought Starr should stop his investigation. That’s even though Starr did his due diligence and demonstrated that the president had perjured himself, a fact Clinton admitted by August 1998. A discredited investigation does little or no damage to a sitting president, no matter the outcome.

Trump should remember that. Clinton didn’t just survive impeachment. It drove his popularity skyward. Trump doesn’t have to stop Mueller. Mueller has done a bang-up job stopping himself.

Eric Holder Warns GOP to Not Go After Mueller — Benghazi Survivor Hits Back With a Knockout Punch

https://cdn1.ijr.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Untitled-collage-8-768x410.jpg


The Russia probe has a lot of Republicans upset following the leak of anti-Trump texts from FBI agent Peter Strzok.

Strzok, who called the president an “idiot,” was removed from the investigation in July. Still, some in the GOP feel that Robert Mueller has breached trust by choosing partisan FBI employees.

With the controversy surrounding Strozk, there were calls for Mueller to step down.

The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board wrote, as reported by the Huffington Post:

All of this reinforces our doubts about Mr. Mueller’s ability to conduct a fair and credible probe of the FBI’s considerable part in the Russia-Trump drama. Mr. Mueller ran the bureau for 12 years and is fast friends with Mr. Comey, whose firing by Mr. Trump triggered his appointment as special counsel. The reluctance to cooperate with a congressional inquiry compounds doubts related to this clear conflict of interest.

Former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder broke his silence about the situation with Mueller on Thursday.

Holder tweeted:

941315510179893249

The tweet went viral and captured a lot of peoples' attention. But when Benghazi survivor and former Army Ranger Kris Paronto saw it, he couldn't let it go unchallenged.

Paronto fired back:

Former Watergate prosecutor pours cold water on Trump hint he may pardon Flynn: ‘He’s in for a big surprise’

“The practical consequences are that he wouldn’t be charged with a crime, but he’s already spilled his guts. He’s already told Mueller everything he knows,” Akerman replied.

“In addition to that, his cooperation agreement requires him to also speak to local and state officials.

So I guarantee you that Mueller has already had Flynn speaking to the attorney general of the state of New York’s people,

who are doing this jointly with him.

So that if somehow Mueller’s team was disbanded, and that group had to go, state attorney generals could simply step in here and use state crimes as opposed to federal crimes.”

“The central crime here relates to the fact that a crime was committed when they [the Russians] hacked the Democratic National Committee for those emails,” he explained.

“The only question that remains is, who else was involved, was the Trump campaign part of the conspiracy to get those emails out to throw the election to Donald Trump.”

“There are good laws in New York state that cover the exact same crimes,”

he concluded.

“So if the president somehow thinks he’s going to derail this investigation by getting rid of Mueller, he’s in for a big surprise.”

Majority think Trump tried to obstruct the Russia investigation

A majority of Americans think President Trump (http://thehill.com/people/donald-trump) has tried to impede or obstruct the Russia investigation and 40 percent believe Trump has done something illegal involving Russia,

The poll finds that 63 percent of Americans say that Trump has tried to "impede or obstruct" the investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 election as well as possible ties between Moscow and his campaign, while 35 percent disagree with that characterization.

Another 38 percent of those polled also believe the investigation is very or extremely important,

A majority, 67 percent, also disapprove of how Trump has responded to the investigations, and 32 percent say that Trump has done something unethical though not illegal in regards to the probes.

62 percent of Democrats say that Trump has broken the law in his handling of the investigation, while only 5 percent of Republicans say so :lol.

An overwhelming majority of Democrats and independents also agree, by 86 and 67 percent, that Trump has impeded or obstructed the investigation, compared to only 24 percent of Republicans.

Democrat: Rumor is Trump could fire Mueller before Christmas

Rep. Jackie Speier (http://thehill.com/people/jackie-speier) (D-Calif.) said Friday that "rumors" on Capitol Hill suggest

President Trump (http://thehill.com/people/donald-trump) could fire special counsel Robert Mueller before Christmas,

after Congress leaves Washington for the winter recess.

“The rumor on the Hill when I left yesterday was that the president was

going to make a significant speech at the end of next week.

And on Dec. 22, when we are out of D.C., he was going to fire Robert Mueller," Speier told California's KQED News (https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/12/15/congresswoman-speier-says-republicans-trying-to-shut-down-russia-probe/).

Speier, a member of the House Intelligence Committee, said that

Trump was trying to shut down the committee's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election,

pointing to the lack of interviews scheduled for the new year.

Krisis? what Krisis?

Kushner looks for PR firm to manage his crisis... as if bad PR is the real problem (https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2017/12/15/1724820/-Kushner-looks-for-PR-firm-to-manage-his-crisis-as-if-bad-PR-is-the-real-problem)

Kushner’s lawyer, Abbe Lowell, has quietly called at least two firms, these people said. The inquiries have occurred in the past two weeks and officials at the firms were asked not to discuss the conversations with others.

In a statement, Lowell confirmed he was looking for a firm [...] Lowell said “this inquiry” from The Washington Post is a prime example of why such a firm, which he has yet to hire, is needed.

Investigators for special counsel Robert S. Mueller III have asked witnesses (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/inside-the-secretive-nerve-center-of-the-mueller-investigation/2017/12/02/e6764720-d45f-11e7-b62d-d9345ced896d_story.html?utm_term=.e839b051def0) questions about Kushner’s interactions with former national security adviser Michael T. Flynn as part of his larger investigation into Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election, according to people familiar with the investigation.

Kushner has been identified (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/muellers-swift-moves-signal-mounting-legal-peril-for-the-white-house/2017/12/01/36962e9a-d6b4-11e7-b62d-d9345ced896d_story.html?utm_term=.fc5a12462d32) by people familiar with his role as the “very senior member” of the Trump transition team who directed Flynn in December to reach out to the Russian ambassador and lobby him about a United Nations resolution on Israeli settlements, according to court documents.

Federal prosecutors in the Eastern District of New York (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/kushners-white-house-role-crushed-efforts-to-woo-investors-for-nyc-tower/2017/09/13/723a9732-82c8-11e7-ab27-1a21a8e006ab_story.html?utm_term=.34586eecdb08) have also subpoenaed documents about his family company’s use of the EB-5 visa program at a planned Jersey City development.

Crisis PR firms are often retained to handle a negative development or an avalanche of media inquiries. Kushner has been in the headlines (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/the-shrinking-profile-of-jared-kushner/2017/11/25/5baf7068-c103-11e7-af84-d3e2ee4b2af1_story.html?utm_term=.c97c3a4b018f)alm ost daily and he has complained to friends about the nonstop negative attention from the news media.

“The second reason to hope the dossier was not used is more alarming. If the FBI and Justice Department relied on it, this would very likely mean that they fell victim to an influence operation, based on false information, by Russian intelligence services. Steele’s sources are unidentified Russians, at least some of whom knew Steele to be a spy for hire. It is possible, if not likely, that these Russians fed Steele false information in order to see if Western intelligence services would bite and, if the Kremlin got lucky, to sow discord and chaos into the American political system.”

Trump transition lawyer: Mueller improperly obtained documents in Russia probe


Exclusive— A lawyer for the Trump presidential transition team is accusing Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s office of inappropriately obtaining transition documents as part of its Russia probe, including confidential attorney-client communications, privileged communications and thousands of emails without their knowledge.

In a letter obtained by Fox News and sent to House and Senate committees on Saturday, the transition team’s attorney alleges “unlawful conduct” by the career staff at the General Services Administration (GSA) in handing over transition documents to the special counsel’s office.

Kory Langhofer, the counsel to Trump for America (TFA), argues the GSA “did not own or control the records in question” and the release of documents could be a violation of the Fourth Amendment – which protects against unreasonable searches and seizures.

Langhofer wrote in Saturday's letter that the GSA handed over “tens of thousands of emails” to Mueller's probe without "any notice" to the transition.

The attorney said they discovered the “unauthorized disclosures” by the GSA on Dec. 12 and 13 and raised concerns with the special counsel’s office. The Associated Press reported that the GSA turned over a flash drive containing tens of thousands of records on Sept. 1 after receiving requests from Mueller's office in late August.

Those records included emails sent and received by 13 senior Trump transition officials. Among the officials who used transition email accounts was former national security adviser Michael Flynn, who pleaded guilty to a count of making false statements to FBI agents in January and is now cooperating with Mueller's investigation.

“We understand that the special counsel’s office has subsequently made extensive use of the materials it obtained from the GSA, including materials that are susceptible to privilege claims," Langhofer wrote. He added that some of the records obtained by the special counsel’s office from the GSA “have been leaked to the press by unknown persons.”

The transition attorney said the special counsel's office also received laptops, cell phones and at least one iPad from the GSA.

Trump for America is the nonprofit organization that facilitated the transition between former President Barack Obama to President Trump.

The GSA, an agency of the United States government, provided the transition team with office space and hosted its email servers.

In an interview with BuzzFeed News Saturday evening, GSA Deputy Counsel Lenny Loewentritt denied Langhofer's claim that then-GSA General Counsel Richard Beckler had promised that any requests for transition team records would be "routed to legal counsel for [Trump for America]."

"Beckler never made that commitment," said Loewentritt, who added that transition team members were warned that information "would not be held back in any law enforcement" investigation and that "no expectation of privacy can be assumed." (Longhofer's letter notes that Beckler "was hospitalized and incapacitated in August." He died the following month.)

Loewentritt also told BuzzFeed that the GSA suggested that Mueller's team issue a warrant or subpoena for the transition team materials, but the special prosecutor's office decided a letter requesting the materials would suffice.

“We continue to cooperate fully with the special counsel and expect this process to wrap up soon,” Sarah Sanders, the White House press secretary, said Saturday.

In his letter, Langhofer argued the GSA's actions “impair the ability of future presidential transition teams to candidly discuss policy and internal matters that benefit the country as a whole."

Langhofer requests in the letter that Congress “act immediately to protect future presidential transitions from having their private records misappropriated by government agencies, particularly in the context of sensitive investigations intersecting with political motives.”

The letter was sent to the Senate Homeland Security and House Oversight Committees.

The committees did not immediately return a request for comment.

Fox News’ Joseph Weber and Jennifer Bowman contributed to this report, along with The Associated Press.

Donald Trump And The Mob: A Patsy Among Punks

Gigante, like Gotti, was convicted on Gravano’s testimony, and sentenced to life in prison, where he died.

Mueller and his crack law enforcement professionals — expert in busting up criminal enterprises— were thus responsible for ending the reign of two of the most feared mobsters in the United States.

Neither the Gambino nor the Genovese crime organizations (members from both of which married into my family) were ever the same again.

In Tightrope: Balancing A Life Between Mario Cuomo & My Brother (https://www.amazon.com/Tightrope-Balancing-Between-Mario-Brother-ebook/dp/B0721NSK7L), I write about the

Trump family’s “ incestuous relationship with organized crime,”

as the investigative reporter Wayne Barrett described it in his seminal work on the depth of Donald Trump’s lying and corruption, Trump: The Deals & the Downfall, (December, 1991, Harper Collins, NY, NY.)

Trump’s ties to the Genovese, Gambino, and Scarfo mob families were of great significance to me

My brother knew many of the mob guys Trump did business with, and how they joked that

they could make the hair of the heir of Fred Trump’s construction business stand on end, getting whatever they wanted from him.

It’s a lesson that was not lost on Russian mobsters, like Felix Sater,

Trump’s partner in his SoHo hotel, and a number of his wealthy, well-connected oligarch friends.

Nor was it a lesson ever ignored by Mueller and his top team of law enforcement officials.

It’s also a lesson that came straight out of New York’s construction industry, where the Trumps made their money.

“I’ve never dealt with an industry that has more pervasive corruption than the construction industry,”

“When I say corruption I’m using a very broad term. Some of it is labor racketeering. Some of it is political influence. Some of it is bid-rigging; some, extortion,”

Many builders and developers throughout the New York metropolitan area, including the Trump Organization, considered it part of the cost of operating in the construction business, and paid whatever extra charges were exacted through organized crime’s control of the cement and drywall industries, or other aspects of the trades.

Fox News goes all-in on claiming the FBI is attempting a “coup” against Trump

Fox News is attacking the investigators, giving Trump more cover in case he wanted to fire Robert Mueller

It's a message that seemingly has been aimed at one person — Trump himself

Jeanine Pirro suggested that the FBI's entire goal was to reverse the 2016 presidential election — without noting that that's constitutionally impossible.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DRP9kL8UIAA2b-k.jpg

"They bash the investigation and Mueller, and when Trump sees that happening (say, on 'Fox & Friends') it reinforces his belief that the investigation is illegitimate and that he should do something to end it. The likely consequence is that this increases the odds of Trump attempting to fire Mueller."

Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan told Pirro — who else? — that the Republicans wanted to subpoena FBI agents who held anti-Trump opinions, and were subsequently fired.

https://www.salon.com/2017/12/17/fox-news-goes-all-in-on-claiming-the-fbi-is-attempting-a-coup-against-trump/

But Cornyn said firing Mueller not a good idea.

I can find an anecdote of dailycaller, zerohedge, drudge,and the others of that ilk posting a legitimate article too. That is not the point. The standard should be zero conspiratard bullshit and NR does it a lot more than that.

[FuzzyLumpkins]

And AaronY, did you even read the article? It is still white nationalism. The argument is not that white nationalism is bad but rather that the white nationalism of duck dynasty and white trash is not what should be aspired to but rather that found in boardrooms and elites. He even pointed out the "stupidity" of blacks to make his point.

The article there barely has anything to do with Trump specifically.

That Sinking Feeling

Mueller’s team has some of the most accomplished and aggressive prosecutors and legal minds of their generation.

They’re facing off against a team of has-beens, 3rd or 4th rate lawyers and in some cases simple incompetents. THE BEST PEOPLE! :lol

Why? Because

Trump values sycophancy above competence and because

none of the top lawyers were willing to work for him.

If the Trump team had a solid legal team defending them, I have little doubt they would have understood the legal status of these emails in advance.

The simple fact is that they were caught off guard, something that has happened numerous times through this saga

there have been numerous occasions when the Trump team appears to have been caught totally off guard by developments they likely should have had at least some inkling of.

They’re upset because they didn’t do their homework on the legal status of those emails.

they now fear (no doubt rightly) that

Trump officials lied during their interviews with the Special Counsel’s office and

the investigators already had the emails that proved they were lying.

That’s a real sinking feeling for everyone involved.

Trump Lawyers DEMAND Mueller's Team Return Thousands Of 'Unlawful' Emails

The Special Counsel and his team obtained Trump transition communications off a government server.


President Donald Trump's lawyers are again squaring off with Special Counsel Robert Mueller, this time over "tens of thousands" of emails Mueller's team obtained from "ptt.gov," the government server that played host to communications between members of Trump's transition team before the president officially moved into the White House.

Trump's lawyers, and sources close to the transition (which is still, technically, in operation) told Axios that the Trump team believes the emails were improperly obtained, some in violation of the 4th Amendment, and that hundreds may contain privileged information.

They want the emails returned to transition officials who will "vet" them and return non-privileged communications back to Mueller's team, Axios says. "What they did is totally illegal, and they need to fix it," a source told the online outlet.

Axios revealed Saturday that Mueller's team got the emails early on in their investigation into whether the Trump operation secretly colluded with Russian officials to upend the 2016 presidential election. Mueller's team says the emails were fair game; they were located on a government server, open to anyone with the appropriate security clearance.

The emails reportedly contain juicy information: "sensitive exchanges on matters such as potential appointments, gossip about the views of particular senators involved in the confirmation process, speculation about vulnerabilities of Trump nominees, strategizing about press statements, and policy planning on everything from war to taxes."

The Mueller team used the emails to help generate new leads, to "confirm things," and to structure the questions they ultimately asked members of Trump's campaign and transition team, Axios reports.

But that leaves Trump's lawyers unhappy — and they filed a seven-page letter threatening to take Mueller to court if the Special Counsel's office doesn't return the treasure trove of online communications. They're even claiming Mueller should have gotten a warrant to search the transition's property, though the server hosting the "ptt.gov" address was, in fact, government property.

That's bad, the lawyers say, but what's worse is that information contained in what they believe are privileged emails has been leaked to the press.

The damage may be already done, if Mueller's team is truthful in asserting they've already used the emails as a check on witness testimony, but the issue may be exactly what Republicans need to start a hot war over Mueller's dragging investigation.

Both the White House and senior GOP officials insist that Mueller's investigation, which has been going on for nearly nine months, has turned up nothing and should conclude. Mueller's team seems to believe they should continue to dig into the Trump campaign and transition, even as leads promising collusion appear to have dried up.

Very Important – House GOPers Likely Agreed to President’s Demands

Chairman Devin Nunes has directly intervened and assisted in Mike Flynn’s effort to disrupt (http://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/de-derping-the-un-masking-story) the investigation into Flynn himself.

And as Schiff notes, his Republican colleagues seem to be taking rapid steps to end the probe.

Clearly, Schiff has some adversarial or partisan reasons for saying that. But

the facts seem to bear him out.

So here’s the question,

is it really remotely plausible that the President,

having personally pressed Senators repeatedly to shut down their investigation

hasn’t done the same on the House side?

Of course he has.

It seems very much like we haven’t heard anything about it because

they’ve agreed to do just as he asked.

With Chairman Nunes his direct and open role as essentially a pro-Trump operative is right there in the open.

Nixon White House counsel: ‘Obstruction’ on Russia worse than Watergate — and it may bring Trump down

former White House attorney and Watergate figure John Dean explained that “It’s not the crime, it’s the cover-up” is once again in play as Special Counsel Robert Mueller investigates possible Russian collusion with Trump campaign officials.

“It’s still going to take time for this all to unfold,” Dean explained, adding that the real issue for Trump is that the president “might have obstructed justice to prevent the investigation by overreacting,” which could include the firing of former FBI Director James Comey.

Now that Mueller’s legal team has been able to obtain transition team emails (https://www.rawstory.com/2017/12/trump-team-demands-mueller-return-thousands-of-emails-but-promises-to-vet-them-and-give-them-back/), current White House officials who worked in the campaign may have placed themselves in jeopardy of being charged under the Logan Act.

“It certainly appears that the Logan Act, which has never been prosecuted by any prior administration against any incoming presidency, is kind of central,” Dean said.

“The Logan Act, for those who don’t know it, of course prohibits citizens from engaging in foreign affairs on behalf of the United States when they have no authority to do so.

And that’s exactly what the Trump people were doing

from day one after they found themselves as winners — they started cutting the sitting president.”

Jason Chaffetz Blasts Sessions, Time For Him ‘To Go’


Former Utah Republican Rep. Jason Chaffetz blasted Attorney General Jeff Sessions Saturday, saying he should leave the Department of Justice.

When asked about Sessions on “Fox & Friends,” Chaffetz, who served on the House Judiciary committee, said Sessions is the reason why there is a special counsel, and criticized the former Alabama senator for his leadership over the Justice Department.

“It pains me to say this a little bit, [but] I don’t think the attorney general is up to the job he’s doing,” Chaffetz said. “The reason there is a special counsel is because he had to recuse himself from everything. I think it’s time for the Attorney General to go.”

Chaffetz also said there should not even be a special counsel and praised Inspector General Michael Horowitz, saying he will come up with the most definitive report in the time frame.

The former Utah congressman also criticized Sessions for not prosecuting Bryan Pagliano, the IT technician in charge of Hillary Clinton’s email scandal, who did not respond to a congressional subpoena. (RELATED: Does Bryan Pagliano Pleading The Fifth Mean Hillary Is More Likely To Be Deposed In Judicial Watch Case?)

“Can a person with this bad of a record go into human resources,” Chaffetz joked. “I mean that’s just unbelievable.”
