Think The Mueller Investigation Is On The Up And Up? Consider These Facts
1. James Comey intentionally released confidential investigation information to a friend with instructions for it to be given to the press. His stated purpose was to get a special council appointed.
2. Robert Mueller and James Comey are close personal friends. Comey wanted Mueller appointed.
3. Mueller was appointed by the Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. Rosenstein, appointed by Trump, no doubt knew Mueller and knew Comey wanted Mueller appointed. The Rosenstein connection to this investigation is highly curious.
4. Mueller was appointed to investigate "collusion with Russia by the Trump campaign," which in and of itself is not illegal. Since there was no alleged crime (which by Justice Department rules there is supposed to be to appoint a special council) Mueller was not given any guidelines or restrictions, giving him unlimited (and unprecedented) scope of investigative authority. He could look at anything, without restriction, ignoring the due process rights of President Trump (since no one has accused him of a crime.)
5. The Mueller investigation, with full cooperation of the President, has found no evidence of collusion by the Trump campaign but has uncovered virtually overwhelming evidence that Obama and Hillary Clinton at various times throughout the last 8 years. Obama and Clinton gave Russia 20% of our uranium and Clinton paid for the fake Russian dossier on Trump.
6. While Mueller supporters defend him, his team of mostly Clinton supporters and donors speak the possibility of political bias, particularly after Peter Strzok was fired for that very reason. Another investigator, Andrew Weissman, attended Hillary Clinton's election-night party. A third, Jeannie Reid, represented the Clinton Foundation and Hillary herself in a 2015 lawsuit that sought the release of Clinton's emails.
A fourth, Aaron Zebley, represented Justin Cooper, a key figure in the setup of Hillary's private email server.
A fifth investigator, who left the team prior to the scandal, was FBI agent Lisa Page, who exchanged derogatory text messages about Trump with Peter Strzock.
And a sixth, New York Attorney General, is openly bragging about his successful resistance to the Trump administration. In an article in The Medium, he says he's a public anti-Trump litigator who has filed 100 legal or administrative challenges to Trump's administrative policies during Trump's first year in office. "We try and protect new Yorkers from those who would do them harm," Schneiderman recently told the New York Times. "The biggest threat to New Yorkers right now is the federal government (ie, Trump). And we're responding to it."
Yeah - no worry about bias there, huh?
Perhaps I'm wrong but in my humble opinion, if you want your investigation to appear non-partisan and impartial you don't select investigators who used to work for or with the opposing candidate in the election in question. And you don't select investigators who are openly hostile toward the subject of the investigation. But that's me.
Still not convinced? Substitute President Obama for President Trump in this situation and all the investigators used to work for Mitt Romney or John McCain....
