Trump denying he ever wanted to fire Mueller. Its all fake news.

Donald Trump Denies Trying to Fire Robert Mueller | Time

I wonder why he needs to deny it. Walter says he is perfectly able to fire him if he wants.

The Office of the Special Prosecutor has become a monstrosity. It is Star Chamber governed by secrecy, intimidation, political vendetta. It is given a mandate without boundaries, focus or duration. Mueller essentially becomes a permanent personal persecutor of the President.

Like all Special Prosecutors the charges they bring NOT to be crimes against the country or the law, or topical to the issue being investigated, but crimes against the Special Prosecutor by way of 'Obstruction of Justice' charges. The latter is an amorphous term that seems to criminalize thought and intent rather than practice.

If Trump did contemplate firing Mueller i applaud him for it. It shows that he has the sense to see the whole process as a witchhunt and corrosive the governance of the country. Mueller deserves to get his scrawny, treasonous ass kicked out of Washington. And the whole institution of Special Prosecutor should be exposed as a sham and a political weapon which works a cross purposes to the interests of justice and the U.S. Constitution.

Trump declared today he would be willing to testify under oath with Mueller.

Like it matters if you you are willing you fat ****.

I bet he'll back out of that. He said he'd release his tax returns. He didn't and none of his supporters gave a shit. He'll back down on this promise and no one will care except a few hysterics. But it's illegal to lie in a federal investigation whether you're under oath or not. I don't know if Mueller's investigation qualifies, but it's bound to be hilarious. I hope they broadcast it.

I wonder who put Mueller in there....?

Rod Rosenstein, Deputy Attorney General appointed Mueller with an open mandate after Trump fired Comey, someone who seemed mammothly inept at his job. Rosenstein ought to be turfed as well for failing to provide clear focus, time limits and borders on Mueller's mandate.

Well, I guess we would have to say it was Justice that appointed Mueller after Trump fired Comey for not giving Flynn a pass on the russian investigation. BTW time has proven that Flynn was deserving of investigation.

So what we have is Trump firing one guy, appointing another guy, and then wanting to fire guy number two for the same reason he fired guy number one.

Four indictments so far and whatever we are calling the Flynn thing,

More to come. Obviously with the deposition of Sessions the investigation is moving into the obstruction phase.

Sanctions were put into place when he took office, Trump added more sanctions a short time into office so where did he ignore the sanctions imposed?

Russia sanctions: What you need to know

(CNN)US President Donald Trump approved fresh sanctions on Russia Wednesday after Congress showed overwhelming bipartisan support for the new measures.
Congress passed the bill last week in response to Russia's interference in the 2016 US election, as well as its human rights violations, annexation of Crimea and military operations in eastern Ukraine.
The bill's passage drew ire from Moscow -- which responded by stripping 755 staff members and two properties from US missions in the country -- all but crushing any hope for the reset in US-Russian relations that Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin had called for.
Here's what you need to know.

BTW: these new actions were introduced Aug. 2 so they aren't that old

Trump administration won't levy new Russia sanctions for now

The government had until Monday to take two steps under a law passed by Congress last year in the wake of the 2016 presidential campaign. The first required the U.S. to slap sanctions on anyone doing "significant" business with people linked to Russia's defense and intelligence agencies, using a blacklist the U.S. released in October. The second required the administration to publish a list of Russian "political figures and oligarchs" who have grown rich under President Vladimir Putin.

On the first item, the administration decided it didn't need to penalize anyone, even though several countries have had multibillion-dollar arms deals with Russia in the works. State Department officials said the threat of sanctions had been deterrent enough, and that "sanctions on specific entities or individuals will not need to be imposed."

"We estimate that foreign governments have abandoned planned or announced purchases of several billion dollars in Russian defense acquisitions," said State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert. She did not provide evidence or cite any examples.

On the second item -- the "Putin list" -- the day came and went with no sign of if or when it would be released. The Treasury Department did not respond to several inquiries. In the past, the administration has breezed past several such deadlines, including the October deadline to produce a blacklist, only to follow through later after pressure from Congress mounted.
By itself, being on the Putin list doesn't trigger U.S. sanctions. Yet the list, being developed by the Treasury Department, has induced fear among rich Russians who are concerned that it could lead later to U.S. sanctions or to being informally blacklisted in the global financial system. It has triggered a fierce lobbying campaign, with Russia hawks in Congress pushing the administration to include certain names and lobbyists hired by Russian businessmen urging the administration to keep their clients off.

Late last year, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said one reason the U.S. was proceeding cautiously was that major U.S. allies have much at stake. Turkey, a NATO ally, has a deal to buy the S-400, Russia's most advanced air defense missile system. And key security partner Saudi Arabia recently struck an array of deals with Moscow, including contracts for weapons. It was unclear whether either country had since abandoned those deals to avoid running afoul of the U.S. sanctions.

New York Rep. Eliot Engel, the top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, lambasted the move to punish no one, saying he was "fed up" and that Trump's administration had chosen to "let Russia off the hook yet again." He dismissed the State Department's claim that "the mere threat of sanctions" would stop Moscow from further meddling in America's elections.
"How do you deter an attack that happened two years ago, and another that's already underway?" Engel said. "It just doesn't make sense."

Yea but we see an NDP MP getting hammered for abuse , and a Liberal getting accused of sexually inappropriate conduct with rumours presently surfacing about the possibility of similar charges being leveled against our feminist PM . So you can shove your moral self righteous bs where the sun doesn’t shine .

Hoid/Flossy is not worth expending any energy on. Ignore him and he'll keep posting to fewer and fewer people, as he puts the entire board on ignore. :lol: Then, he can post to himself. Eventually, he will disappear up by his own ass. :lol:
