So, now Robert Mueller is investigating President Trump’s tweets for obstruction of justice: www.nytimes.com/2018/07/26/us/politics/trump-tweets-mueller-obstruction.htmlFor years, President Trump has used Twitter as his go-to public relations weapon, mounting a barrage of attacks on celebrities and then political rivals even after advisers warned he could be creating legal problems for himself. Those concerns now turn out to be well founded. The special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, is scrutinizing tweets and negative statements from the president about Attorney General Jeff Sessions and the former F.B.I. director James B. Comey, according to three people briefed on the matter. Several of the remarks came as Mr. Trump was also privately pressuring the men — both key witnesses in the inquiry — about the investigation, and Mr. Mueller is examining whether the actions add up to attempts to obstruct the investigation by both intimidating witnesses and pressuring senior law enforcement officials to tamp down the inquiry. Mr. Mueller wants to question the president about the tweets. His interest in them is the latest addition to a range of presidential actions he is investigating as a possible obstruction case: private interactions with Mr. Comey, Mr. Sessions and other senior administration officials about the Russia inquiry; misleading White House statements; public attacks; and possible pardon offers to potential witnesses. The special counsel’s investigators have told Mr. Trump’s lawyers they are examining the tweets under a wide-ranging obstruction-of-justice law beefed up after the Enron accounting scandal, according to the three people. The investigators did not explicitly say they were examining possible witness tampering, but the nature of the questions they want to ask the president, and the fact that they are scrutinizing his actions under a section of the United States Code titled “Tampering With a Witness, Victim, or an Informant,” raised concerns for his lawyers about Mr. Trump’s exposure in the investigation. While its debatable that a President that has the power to shut down any investigation can obstruct justice, this is actually pretty good news. By moving to OOJ, that means we are past collusion. They've determined that no collusion occurred. Now, they are investigating whether Trump obstructed an investigation to see if he colluded (again, he didn't collude). Am I dreaming? Why would they think Trump would obstruct an investigation when he committed no crimes and nothing wrong was done?

They've determined that no collusion occurred. Now, they are investigating whether Trump obstructed an investigation to see if he colluded (again, he didn't collude). Am I dreaming? Why would they think Trump would obstruct an investigation when he committed no crimes and nothing wrong was done? It’s the ol “can there be obstruction without a crime to investigate” debate. The perfect enigma for the Deep State to hang their hat on, as they continue to sow division and entrench their power over The People. Hell, it’s tricky enough in civil suits to prove OOJ without a crime (though the technical answer appears to be yes, you can have OOJ without a crime....sometimes). Furthermore, it’s tricky to charge a sitting president with anything at all, simply due to the nature of the office he holds, the powers granted, and the stalling of the government as it’s gridlocked with subpoenas and the prosecutorial process. Then, to do it at a time when the country is debatably as divided as its ever been?? One could argue it irresponsible. It’s one thing to charge a sitting president with clearly provable crimes, regardless of the political or social climate. But, it’s quite another to charge him with murky charges, with even murkier precedent, during what could be argued to be a cold civil war. It’s downright dangerous, is what it is. How far will they go to overthrow the system?? I think we’re about to find out... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

amp.dailycaller.com/2018/07/26/fusion-gps-dossier-buzzfeed-lawsuit/Judge orders Fusion GPS to disclose details of its dossier work. The opposition firm has avoided deposition in a dossier-related lawsuit against BuzzFeed. Lawyer for plaintiff says ruling “gave us everything that we had hoped for.” Representatives of Fusion GPS must answer a broad array of questions about the opposition research firm’s role in creating, investigating and disseminating the infamous Steele dossier, a federal judge ruled. U.S. District Court Judge Ursula Ungaro issued the decision Tuesday in a defamation lawsuit a Russian tech executive filed against BuzzFeed News, which published the dossier on Jan. 10, 2017. The trial is scheduled to begin in Miami in November. Ungaro ruled that attorneys for the executive, Aleksej Gubarev, can ask Fusion GPS representatives in a deposition about the firm’s dossier clients, its efforts to verify the dossier, its decision to hire dossier author Christopher Steele and its interactions with government officials and media outlets, including BuzzFeed. Fusion GPS, which was founded by three former Wall Street Journal reporters, has resisted efforts to provide information about its work on the dossier. The firm has claimed that revealing details about its dossier work would violate its confidentiality clauses with its clients as well as its First Amendment rights to political free speech.

This does not surprise me in the least: www.buzzfeednews.com/article/rubycramer/bernie-sanders-adviser-is-assisting-special-counselTad Devine, a political operative who served at the highest levels of the Bernie Sanders campaign, will assist in the special counsel office’s prosecution of Paul Manafort, Donald Trump’s former campaign chairman, according to a statement released on Thursday. “The Special Counsel has asked Tad Devine to assist in the prosecution of their case against Paul Manafort regarding his firm’s work on media consulting on past political campaigns in Ukraine,” reads a statement provided by Julian Mulvey, a partner at Devine’s political firm, Devine Mulvey Longabaugh. “When the Special Counsel sought assistance from us in its ongoing investigation, we readily provided it.” The firm, according to the statement, has been “assured by the special counsel’s office that we have no legal exposure and did not act unlawfully.”[/i] ........ For those who might’ve forgot, Tad Devine was Bernie Sanders Chief Strategist when he ran for President & when Mueller released 500 more pieces of evidence for the Manafort trial, Devine’s name appeared 21 times. But, Mueller has apparently decided Devine & his firm are innocent.

www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-07-26/cohen-ready-flip-will-tell-mueller-trump-knew-about-trump-tower-meetingPresident Trump's former longtime personal attorney, Michael Cohen, is prepared to tell special counsel Robert Mueller that then-candidate Donald Trump knew in advance about the June 2016 Trump tower meeting between Donald Trump Jr. and Fusion GPS associate Natalia Veselnitskaya - who is not a fan of Trump Sr., and several other individuals - including Cohen who says he was there, reports CNN. Cohen alleges that he was present, along with several others, when Trump was informed of the Russians' offer by Trump Jr. By Cohen's account, Trump approved going ahead with the meeting with the Russians, according to sources. -CNN www.cnn.com/2018/07/26/politics/michael-cohen-donald-trump-june-2016-meeting-knowledge/index.html?utm_source=twCNNp&utm_term=image&utm_content=2018-07-27T01%3A02%3A34&utm_medium=socialThe claim that Trump knew, if true, would contradict denials by Donald Trump Jr. and other administration officials who have previously said that Donald Trump was unaware of the meeting. The sources say that Cohen does not have evidence to support this claim, but that he's willing to attest to his account. [/i][/u] According to people who have discussed the matter with Cohen, he has expressed hope that this claim about the Trump Tower meeting will help him reach out to Mueller and possibly lessen his legal troubles. He's under scrutiny by federal prosecutors in Manhattan after Mueller referred Cohen's case to them. -CNN[/i][/u] President Trump's attorney Rudy Giuliani said of Cohen: "He's certainly a source that is not credible."

It’s too blatant, and I don’t get it. Boots, help me out. Is this common? I mean, I realize six degrees of separation and a “small” legal community and all that, but this dude is named in the evidence. How can he be an attorney for the prosecution? How is that legal, and if it’s not, what’s going on here? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Video at link: dailycaller.com/2018/07/27/cnn-jake-tapper-colbert-unpatriotic/CNN host Jake Tapper said it was “unpatriotic” to question the Robert Mueller probe into Russian meddling, Thursday on CBS’s “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.” “It’s obvious that people are doing things to protect President Trump and to protect the politics of this all, but this is beyond the politics of it all,” Tapper said. “It has to do with a sovereign nation being attacked by Russia. (RELATED: Jake Tapper Paints White House As Den Of Depraved Criminals) “The idea that there is now this — people do this and there’s almost no blowback, the idea that there are people in Washington trying to undermine it, trying to stop it, they don’t want the truth to come out about this, about an attack on the United States, just blows my mind every time I think about it,” he continued. Tapper said Russia launched an attack on the American people and accused members of Congress of trying to sabotage the investigation for purely partisan reasons. “At the end of the day, we were attacked! The American people were attacked and that can’t happen again. And the idea that there are members of Congress or whoever trying to stop an investigation from going forward into what happened so we can make sure it doesn’t happen again — it’s, it is.” “It’s weird,” Colbert replied. “It’s not just weird — it’s unpatriotic,” Tapper concluded.

So, Cohen is caught in a lie. Either he’s lying now about the Trump Tower meeting, or he lied when he testified to Congress: www.cnn.com/2017/09/19/politics/read-michael-cohen-statement/index.htmlI have never engaged with, been paid by, paid for, or conversed with any member of the Russian Federation or anyone else to hack Democratic Party computers; and I have never engaged with, been paid by, paid for, or conversed with any member of the Russian Federation or anyone else to create fake news stories to assist the Trump campaign or to damage the Clinton campaign. Given my own proximity to the President of the United States as a candidate, let me also say that I never saw anything – not a hint of anything – that demonstrated his involvement in Russian interference in our election or any form of Russian collusion. I emphatically state that I had nothing to do with any Russian involvement in our electoral process. .... Just my two cents, but he’s doing this,(with no evidence mind you), to try and placate Mueller to dropping/lessening the charged he’s facing.

For a self described “fixer,” he sure does suck at it. All the other shit he might have on Trump that’s pre election won’t hurt his poll numbers. What leverage he might have had is now spoiled.

dailycaller.com/2018/07/29/trump-cohen-tweet-trump-tower/President Donald Trump called attention Sunday to an old tweet from Michael Cohen to cast doubt on his former attorney’s allegations about the now-infamous June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower between Donald Trump Jr. and a group of Russians who promised dirt on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. “Do you think the Fake News Media will ever report on this tweet from Michael?” Trump tweeted, linking to a July 11, 2017 tweet from Cohen. In the tweet, Cohen praised Trump Jr. “for being open, honest and transparent to the American people” about the Trump Tower meeting. Days earlier, The New York Times broke the story that Trump Jr., his brother-in-law Jared Kushner, and Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort met on June 9, 2016 with a group of Russians promising derogatory information on Clinton. Trump Jr. released his emails scheduling the meeting on the morning of Cohen’s tweet. Cohen sent the tweet just after Trump Jr. told Fox News’ Sean Hannity that he did not tell his father about the Trump Tower meeting. ....... Trump Jr. released his emails scheduling the meeting on the morning of Cohen’s tweet.

amp.dailycaller.com/2018/07/29/maria-bartiromo-devin-nunes-interview/House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes claimed Sunday that the American public will be “shocked” when it sees the remaining blacked out portions of the FBI’s applications for spy warrants against former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. “We are quite confident that once the American people see these 20 pages, at least for those that will get real reporting on this issue, they will be shocked by what’s in that FISA application,” Nunes said in an interview with Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo. Nunes’ comments raise expectations about what information remains hidden behind 20-plus pages of the FBI’s fourth and final application for a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant against Page. The Department of Justice released portions of the four FISA applications on July 20 in response to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit. A majority of the information remains redacted because it is classified. Nunes and his fellow Republicans on the Intelligence Committee asked President Donald Trump in a June 14 letter to declassify 21 pages from the final FISA application, which was signed by deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.

You know, just like any good, lawless Democrat would do, and of course, easily get away with it because laws don't matter anymore.

Nunes and his fellow Republicans on the Intelligence Committee asked President Donald Trump in a June 14 letter to declassify 21 pages from the final FISA application, which was signed by deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. Why doesn't one of the Republican congressmen just leak to the media what the 20 redacted pages said, as "an official with knowledge of the situation". You know, just like any good, lawless Democrat would do, and of course, easily get away with it because laws don't matter anymore. One thing I've learned over the past 10 years, is instead of releasing the smoking gun to send high profile politicians to an indictment and jail...they use info for leverage. This leverage isn't for votes, it's for cash...and copious amounts of it. That's why they all absolutely loathe Trump. He can bang hookers, call women pigs, say Mexicans are thieves and rapists...and it doesn't bring him down. The reason Trump won't de-classify the latest FISA related docs, is IMO, because even the pubs will turn on him. Why? Because winning, for them, isn't Comey, Hillary, Strzok, etc going to jail...winning is leveraging those in the Justice Dept that are still there. To put it simply, the ONLY desire of the vast majority of the 535 people in congress, is to be re-elected...and make as much $ for themselves and their family as humanly possible. Basically, what everyone was scared Trump would do. One small example: One of the reasons Joe Biden didn't run in 2016 and why he won't run in 2020...is recent news released that his son made hundreds of millions USD from business dealings with China back in Obama's 2nd term. Biden even took Air Force 2 with his son to China to finalize a 1.5 billion $ deal. (the pubs do it too, obviously)

I'm beginning to think that the biggest crime in this whole thing is Sessions not resigning or being fired. Surely there is at least one person in the country that could be found who would try and clean up the giant mess that is the DOJ.
At this point I'm beginning to believe that Sessions will go down as the worst AG in history.
