Whose plan? The guys currently being investigated....Comey/McCabe/Strzok.
I'm on the fence and can't figure out Mueller, and he met with Trump the day before he was assigned to Special Counsel, not a week before.
Case in what point?
You're showing us how much you don't care about this by continuing to comment on it.

You can't figure out anything.
Amid Concerns Trump Will Retaliate for Cohen Raid, White House Says Trump 'Certainly Believes' He Can Fire Mueller
The admission comes as sources claim "advisers have spent the last 24 hours trying to convince the president not to make an impulsive decision" following the raid targeting his longtime attorney
White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders revealed in a briefing on Tuesday that President Donald
Trump "certainly believes he has the power" to fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller,
"We've been advised that the president certainly has the power to make that decision,"
Some legal experts argue that only Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein—who is overseeing the investigation because Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself—has the authority to fire Mueller, and
since Rosenstein has said he won't dismiss Mueller, Trump would first have to oust Rosenstein.
the New York Times reported Tuesday that
Rosenstein personally signed off on the raid of targeting Trump's attorney, which could provoke retaliation from the president.
the searches "enraged" Trump, "setting off an angry public tirade Monday evening that continued in private at the White House as
the president fumed about whether he should fire Mr. Rosenstein"
—a Republican whom Trump handpicked to serve under Sessions.
"The episode has deeply unsettled
White House aides,
Justice Department officials, and
lawmakers from both parties,
who believe the president may use it as a pretext to purge the team leading the investigation into Russia meddling,"
"advisers have spent the last 24 hours trying to convince the president not to make an impulsive decision that could put the president in more legal jeopardy and ignite a controversy that could consume his presidency."
Pointing to reports that
Michael Cohen is actually being investigated for bank fraud, campaign finance violations, and money laundering,
Andrew Cohen asserts that
"the most important thing to say about what happened Monday is that it would not have happened—it could not have happened—unless a lot of smart lawyers and public officials at the Justice Department signed off on it."
Noting that Mueller apparently went to Rosenstein with evidence that Michael Cohen may have committed crimes outside the scope of the special counsel mandate, Andrew Cohen explains:https://www.commondreams.org/news/20...rump-certainly
Rosenstein responded to this "referral" by undertaking an independent-of-Mueller investigation through the Justice Department and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York.
That review had to comply with standing DOJ procedures and guidelines designed to handle cases like this, where attorney-client privileged matters may be the subject of a federal search.
All of this means that Rosenstein and company were convinced on their own that the search—and not a subpoena—was warranted.
Rosenstein and others had to have been convinced that there was probable cause to believe a crime may have been committed.
And not just convinced on their own, but confident enough in their own convictions to have taken their request to a federal judge who signed off on a search warrant. Trump v. Mueller?
If this is, as the president said, another witch hunt, there are an awful lot of accomplished, respected hunters coming for their witch with the full weight of federal law and procedure on their side.
I shouldn't need to explain that a payment to Stormy Daniels has nothing to with election collusion.
I sure figured out how to sucker you into four $500 bets.
Muhhhh bet!
Wait, your conspiracy theory is the guys who were fired and reassigned are currently pulling all the strings on the Mueller investigation by forcing Sessions to recuse himself and forcing Trump to fire Comey and forcing Rosenstein to hire Mueller.You can't figure out Mueller because your conspiracy theory makes no sense at all.I'm on the fence and can't figure out Mueller, and he met with Trump the day before he was assigned to Special Counsel, not a week before.
What does your grocer say about it? Maybe we should just go the source.
lol ready for a deal
LOL
The entire Special Counsel investigation exists because of Comey and his leaked memos. If my conspiracy theory didn’t make sense there wouldn’t be a parallel DOJ investigation of the investigators ongoing for over a year now.
The Special Counsel investigation exists because Trump, like the dumbass he is, fired Comey and then blamed it on the FBI being too mean to Hillary, all of this after asking Comey to drop the investigation into Flynn.
You Lie, duh
Trash fired Comey, so Special Counsel assigned. Comey caused nothing, except getting Trash elected.

Your conspiracy theory makes no sense because no one was forced to do anything.
Especially Trump's appointees.
Trump fired Comey because he was investigating Russian interference in the election and everyone around Trump had already lied about Russia. THAT caused the Special Counsel investigation.
The "parallel investigation" probably isn't going to go the way you want it to.
You've shut your mouth every time you've been asked what you think will happen in the way of criminal prosecutions from that.
So Hillard was any better? what did Comey to her?
"I asked a friend of mine to share the content of the memo with a reporter," Comey told the Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday. "I didn't do it myself for a variety of reasons but I asked him to because I thought that might prompt the appointment of a special counsel."
The New York Times first reported the memos on May 16. The Justice Department appointed former FBI Director Robert Mueller as special counsel two days later.

8 top ranking DOJ/FBI officials have been fired, demoted, or resigned as a result of the ongoing parallel investigation. McCabe was caught lying under oath multiple times under oath because of the parallel investigation. Sessions recently broadened Horowitz scope and now has him investigating FISA abuse. Horowitz is working in tandem with a Federal Prosecutor.
But yeah the parallel investigation isn’t going how I want it to go :lol
Turns out there was enough out there to make that happen. It's not like he wanted to start a Russia investigation because he got fired. It was well underway.
Oh, here's where you get all flustered and dodgy.8 top ranking DOJ/FBI officials have been fired, demoted, or resigned as a result of the ongoing parallel investigation.

How do you want the "parallel investigation" to turn out?
List the people and charges.
Not a prediction -- what you want. You already said it's going the way you want. Now follow through.
You can have T-Pain. I'll take Horowitz, Huber, and Nunes.
And the Russia investigation would have continued without a Special Counsel. Comey leaked memos to get a Special Counsel appointed.
No this is where you get flustered and follow me around for days demanding a different answer because you don’t like the same answer I give you every single time.
If you can provide me a list of names Horowitz is investigating and the evidence he has I’ll put together a list of people and charges.
I want the OIG to continue to investigate and recommend charges if crimes are uncovered. I want those people prosecuted. I’m content to let it play out as it has been.
Your preemptive white flag is accepted.
