In a huge blow to Mueller, Judge Ellis stated that just like Special Counsel’s of the past, Mueller is being used as a tool for pursuing partisan agendas rather than a means of assuring accountability: www.politico.com/f/?id=00000164-3dc7-dbdc-a96d-3dff8c890001In sum, there appears to be little operational difference between the current Special Counsel appointment scheme and the scheme found wanting under the 1978 Act and its reauthorizations. Both schemes are subject to many of the same objections. Like the independent counsel under the 1978 Act, the current Special Counsel has broad authority to investigate and prosecute crimes unburdened by traditional limits placed on an ordinary prosecutor. Many of the same problems that plagued investigations pursued under the 1978 Act — from Kenneth Starr’s investigation of Whitewater to Lawrence Walsh’s investigation of IranContra — seem equally applicable to the current process.12 In the end, Congress and members ........ of both political parties reached the sound conclusion that the 1978 Act and its reauthorizations should be allowed to expire, as the Act had come to be a tool for pursuing partisan agendas rather than a means of assuring accountability in government by prosecuting crimes committed by high-ranking government officials. That lesson, it seems, has been forgotten. ........ Techno Fog @techno_Fog Replying to @techno_Fog Judge Ellis brings the hammer: "Even a blind person can see that the true target of the Special Counsel's investigation is President Trump, not [Manafort]" He goes on to call Mueller's tactics "distasteful." 4:10 PM - Jun 26, 2018 480 314 people are talking about this Techno Fog @techno_Fog Replying to @techno_Fog Judge Ellis: "The wisdom of allowing all links b/w individuals associated with President Trump's campaign and the Russian government to be subject to investigation . . . is seriously in doubt." 4:13 PM - Jun 26, 2018 245 169 people are talking about this Tom Fitton ✔ @tomfitton Judge Ellis provides all sorts of policy reasons for shutting Mueller "get @realdonaldtrump" operation down, but rejects legal challenge by Manafort. politi.co/2Iv7SUj via @politico 4:53 PM - Jun 26, 2018 t.co/h4UjiikyCb

saraacarter.com/house-approves-resolution-demanding-doj-fbi-docs/The House Judiciary Committee approved for the first time a resolution Tuesday demanding that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein turn over all requested documents regarding the FBI’s handling of the Russia investigation during the presidential election after seven days or face possible impeachment or contempt. The decision to move forward with the resolution came after a year of battles with the Justice Department and FBI to turn over requested documents. The committee voted on party lines 15-11 to pass the resolution directing Rosenstein to comply within the next seven days or face the consequences. Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, who has been one of the lawmakers at the frontlines of the committee’s investigation, said the resolution is the result of the frustration felt among lawmakers conducting oversight. He noted that it will be up to House Republican leaders to decide whether or not to take it to the full House for a vote. “If they don’t comply with the resolution they know the remedies the House has, contempt and impeachment,” said Jordan. “If we don’t get that information entitled to us, everybody knows that we’ll do what we have to do to get it done.” Jordan and Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows, R-N.C., were the authors of the resolution. Both members have criticized Rosenstein and the FBI for failing to deliver documents. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-CA, has also been fighting the Justice Department for documents and has threatened as well to hold Rosenstein in contempt or impeachment if they are not produced.

We have the entire chain of text messages (minus the ones the FBI "lost"). So, how can these texts be taken out of context? Also, FBI paperwork records all of Stzroks acted upon decisions, and we have the text messages, so its obvious as to whether his feelings (revealed via texts) influenced his actions, and even the Inspector General of the freaking FBI said they did (while being publicly deposed by this same Congress). What in the hell is this dude talking about?? Also, curious as to how this info was leaked. It doesnt seem real, but prob is, and the last grandstand-ish bit seems a bit much for private panels. I mean, Stzrok knows the IG and Congressional Oversight Committee is after him. That's why he's there, pretending to have all the answers and "not taking the fifth" (which he did, if this post is accurate).

I'm unclear why there hasn't been more focus on the destruction of server and BBerrys. More focus on the circumstances in which immunity grants were handed out, and supposedly what information they were supposed to get based on those grants. In the analysis of decisions made, I think this is the area where the Dem case (for objective decision making) falls completely apart.

At least, as far as I know. The IG cant investigate that type of stuff, and I dont know that Senate Committees have the time or resources. We need Mueller to give his findings, then we launch our special council into what you just asked about (and all the tertiary issues, as the Mueller team has done).

I'm wondering if the phone/tablet smashing was covered in the immunity deal that got us nothing.

saraacarter.com/grilled-strzok-questioned-by-lawmakers/Freedom Caucus & Judiciary Committee member, Matt Gaetz (R-FL) attended today’s deposition and reacted to Strzok’s testimony, telling the Sean Hannity Radio Show, “… I am shocked at the lack of curiosity with Robert Mueller. I mean Sean, if you were in Mueller’s shoes, and you had found these text messages, I would think that you would want to ask whether or not they impacted the investigative decisions that were made, whether there was bias, whether there was contact with other members of the FBI regarding the investigation and where it was going and who was making the critical judgment calls,” the Florida Congressman said. “I just cannot believe the lack of curiosity on the part of Robert Mueller. It was the strongest reaction I had today from Peter Strzok’s testimony.” Freedom Caucus member, Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-FL)-who was also in attendance- told SaraACarter.com, “It was a waste—Strzok is full of it and he kept hiding behind [the] classified information excuse.”[/i]

273 people are talking about this

Remember, there are things going on at this FBI/DOJ you are gonna have NO CLUE about until they decide to roll it out.
They braced Wolfe in December. You didn't hear shit for 6 months until they indicted him. No leaks.

Rosenstein also refused to answer whether he read the FISA warrant prior to signing...Rosenstein took a beating this morning There is speculation Rostenstein is holding back due to leaks. The big stuff can’t be leaked or else folks won’t go to jail it reads. And we are talking criminals not Trump/collusion. If it leaks out they have time to do prevention methods so thus why no leaks at all. I am skeptical as are citizens. Its time to charge folks and wrap this up.

He's crying like an 8 year old in the school yard. My favorite has been that he doesn't need to recuse himself despite him being involved at every step of the way. I've never understood how he can be in charge when it's his name on the warrant.

On Thursday, House Republicans held a vote and passed a resolution demanding the DOJ comply with requests to turn over classified Trump-Russia docs or face impeachment, contempt.
Rep. Jim Jordan slammed Rosenstein and reminded him the House was voting to pass a resolution giving him “seven days to get his act together.”
Rosenstein was visibly uncomfortable as Jim Jordan put him on notice.
This was an intense exchange between Congressman Jordan and DAG Rosenstein.

Jim Jordan is quickly moving up the list for who I want as the next Speaker of the House.
