If Mueller were the great objective man that he is said to be he would stop his witch hunt of Trump and instead focus on where the real collusion took place: the Clinton campaign, White House, the DOJ/FBI and intelligence agencies, and the Democrat Party. As matters have actually developed what Mueller has managed to do is raise even more skepticism about the rule of law among the American people. His failure to pursue the real crimes have done great damage to this nation.
Yankee, if all of that is true why hasn’t the Republican Party who have had full control over the last 2 years setup a special council to do so???? You do that Mueller was tasked to investigate the Trump campaign right? It would be out of his scope to go after all the things you mentioned. Have you contacted anyone to stup a special investigation of Clinton?

In January 2017, CNN reported the explosive news that “classified documents” from a “credible” “former British intelligence operative” alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russians. It sounded bad and set off a hysteria that led to the recusal of Attorney General Jeff Sessions, the firing of national security adviser Mike Flynn, the launching of half a dozen investigations, and the appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller. Senior officials, including Mr. Comey, watched all this in full knowledge of the dossier’s provenance. They said nothing. It was left to the House Intelligence Committee, under Chairman Devin Nunes, to extract the real story: that the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton’s campaign hired opposition-research firm Fusion GPS, which in turn retained a British gun-for-hire (Christopher Steele) to compile the so-called dossier; that Fusion injected this into the FBI, the Justice Department and the State Department; that this political dirt was a part of the FBI’s decision to launch an unprecedented counterintelligence investigation (which included human informants) into a presidential campaign; that this dirt was also the basis for a surveillance warrant against former Trump aide Carter Page; that the “credible” Mr. Steele was fired by the FBI; and that the FBI withheld the most sordid details from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which granted said warrant. And we separately know the Obama administration was engaged in the unmasking of U.S. citizens and leaking of classified information.
Those are facts, not my opinion, nor are they anyone's opinions. If the FBI doesn't scare you as an American citizen, regardless of your political stripe, then I just don't know what folks are watching.
T^he public doesn’t have this full story yet—because Congress isn’t authorized to tell the key remaining parts, which are classified. According to congressional Republicans, those documents—FBI interview summaries, the Page warrant application, internal Justice Department communications that explain who knew what and when—contain even more explosive revelations. More importantly, they will help answer the question of whether anyone broke laws, for example by lying to a federal court or to Congress. Some Republicans believe the release would be sufficient to justify a Justice Department investigation.
Exactly - - as I have posted from Kim before - - Strassel is excellent. How exciting that you're expanding your horizons from the WaPo & other libtard netherworlds.
That also explains why House investigators haven’t released an official report on their findings. They know the story, but they can’t tell it comprehensively until President Trump follows through and declassifies the relevant documents. The president is said to be waiting for the Mueller probe and prosecutions to end. But why? This is about transparency. The president also owes it to these lawmakers, who began the hard work of investigating the 2016 election, to finally allow them to finish it. Kim Strassel WSJ Write to kim@wsj.com.
You guys who hate Trump, hate conservatives, hate, hate, hate, seems like you willfully ignore the threats to our constitution from our very own FBI, NSA, CIA et. al. You swallow the party line Kool Aid, unintelligent, unthinking hatred spews from you as you digest the poison. Trump may lose in 2020. Who knows. What you will find out is that if the Dem prez doesn't toe that line that the FBI demands, as JFK & others found out the hard way, Dem prez will get the same treatment as Trump. If that's your vision of American justice, then it's you that has your head up your bunghole.
huh? I got no problem with Strassel or WSJ. You posted an opinion piece and specifically said it's not opinion, that's all
It appears you are actually reading the WSJ. I could be in error. I detect the WaPo slant from some of your posts. You can correct me on that, too, if need be.
My post have several slants haha. I would read WSJ if it wasn't behind a paywall. I like to search google for the text that people post on here and read the source article.
