Mueller’s investigation of Trump is going too far

At the same time, Trump private lawyer Jay Sekulow told Fox News that “the president is not thinking of firing Robert Mueller”. However, it is widely believed that the probe will cover a wide range of issues, including potential financial ties between Trump’s business empire and Russian Federation, the May firing of FBI Director James Comey, and the email hacks that targeted the Democratic National Convention and John Podesta during the 2016 election.

“I think that everybody, in retrospect, knows this was a bad idea”, Christie said of the Trump Tower meeting.

Trump’s rhetoric and behavior have often defied prediction and logic, and history suggests his comparatively moderate approach on Thursday night could yet be followed by a scorching tweet storm or an assault on Mueller’s character and position.

Mitch Harper, a former GOP state legislator and Republican activist in IN, said Trump will get credit from conservatives even for partial measures simply because he is “articulating things that they have not heard anyone articulate in a long time”. Trump has repeatedly denied allegations of collusion, saying he is the victim of a political “witch hunt” and “fake news”. The new grand jury widens the scope of the investigation, and it is likely focusing on others associated with the Trump campaign. He’s fulminated that there should be a “red line” no one should cross.

Mueller already has a grand jury investigating Michael Flynn, a key Trump campaign aide who was briefly the president’s national security advisor before being forced to step down because of his own contacts with Russians.

Convening a grand jury does not signal that indictments are imminent or that Mueller has concluded there has been wrongdoing. Even if they don’t issue criminal indictments, federal prosecutors can use that information to bring charges. And approximately 9,000 people came out to see the president at a rally in Huntington, West Virginia, last week.

The next day, Trump addressed thousands of supporters at a rally where numerous themes that served him so well in the presidential campaign were dusted off again – including blistering attacks on his defeated rival Hillary Clinton. Savage told his listeners the other day that people will “resort to mob violence” when they “are finally aware of the fact that they’ve been tricked by their society, and that no matter how hard they work as middle class people” they are denied.

The direct quote from Dershowitz, offensive on so many different levels, is that Washington is “always solidly Democratic and has an ethnic and racial composition that might be very unfavorable to the Trump Administration”.

Tillis, a first-term senator from North Carolina, teamed with Democratic Sen. It has taken a tough old soldier like retired Marine General John Kelly as Trump’s new chief of staff to provide some semblance of order to this White House.

It may be significant, that while his remarks about the Russian Federation probe on Thursday night were scathing and scornful, they did not specifically focus on Mueller himself. “It became a political issue in the Lewinsky issue, but never a legal issue that we’d gone too far”.

Sidebar: here’s where some wiseass points out that President Trump is not “an appointed public officer”, but is rather an elected one. After all, what choice would Congress have but to draft Articles of Impeachment following an official grand jury report of near-criminal wrongdoing?
