| New York Times: Alarmingly, Perhaps Even Chillingly, General Kelly Seems to Share Trump's Patriotism »

Wall Street Journal to Robert Mueller: Resign. You Are Hopelessly Conflicted in This Investigation.Mueller's old FBI is up to its gills in Uranium One and his prodigy and pal Comey basically engineered this entire special counsel situation to get back at a man who fired him. Mueller is not impartial, and it's a great help to have a respected, more establishment voice like the WSJ editorial board say the obvious. Ed Morrissey digests it (link to the article contained in the above-linked post): "Strip out the middlemen," the Wall Street Journal’s editors argue this morning, "and it appears that Democrats paid for Russians to compile wild allegations about a US presidential candidate." The editorial demands a "full investigation" into the FBI's activities during the previous presidential cycle, saying that collusion may have taken place --only in a completely different direction than previously thought. And that puts the special counsel in an impossible position, the editorial concludes:The more troubling question is whether the FBI played a role, even if inadvertently, in assisting a Russian disinformation campaign... It is a slur against his integrity that he won't admit the obvious and resign due to conflict of interest -- he's pretty strongly signalling he has a personal interest in staying head of an investigation he's obviously conflicted on, which is all the more proof he's conflicted. Note the difference in how Comey handled Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump: In contrast [to the hardball Special Counsel appointed to investigate the Plame leak], then-FBI Director Comey played softball with the 2015-16 Hillary Clinton investigation. Despite the gravity of the matter--military service members can be court-martialed and discharged for sending classified information on nonsecure systems--Mr. Comey mostly avoided issuing subpoenas and cooperated with the Obama Justice Department in obscuring the investigation's criminal character. He permitted Mrs. Clinton and her team to destroy evidence and granted generous immunity deals to her advisers. He drafted a statement exonerating Mrs. Clinton months before the FBI interviewed her. And his FBI neither recorded the interview nor compelled her to answer questions under oath. Mueller's friend and protege admits to deliberately engineering this special counsel situation -- essentially, he admits to creating the very job Mueller now performs -- and he may have used illegal means to have done so. And Mueller's going to be investigating him?
Given that Mueller defines his jurisdiction very expansively, you'd imagine he'd be investigating his buddy Comey's possible illegal acts -- and yet no leak of that, despite the leakiness of Mueller's team when it comes to Trump. Charles Grassley is demanding a special counsel for the Uranium One matter:
Note that such an investigation might very well implicate Robert Mueller, who presided over the FBI during the bulk of the FBI's softball, we're-all-friends-here investigation into it. Meanwhile, Charles Grassley is also demanding that Treasury provide him with financial records of #FusionCollusion actors. And, as Christopher Steele is mentioned, these records might wind up including payments from Mueller's protege Comey: "The Senate Judiciary Committee is conducting an investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, as well as the Department of Justice's enforcement of the Foreign Agents Registration Act," Grassley’s letter says. "I am requesting a copy of any and all documents relating to Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) that have been filed regarding the following individuals or entities." They include: Diane Feinstein declined to sign the letter, too. What's she trying to hide? Note the list includes the lawyer who met with Trump, Jr. -- doesn't she want to know all about that? She did a few months ago. Perhaps she suspects that lawyer was actually doing business with the Podesta group or FusionGPS. (The lawyer might also have been doing business with Paul Manafort -- which would suggest he helped engineer the meeting without telling his American clients the real purpose of it. But that's just speculation.) Also see Kimberly Strassel on what the congressional subpoena to Fusion might produce, assuming the Obama-appointed judge ruling on Fusion's emergency motion to quash it permits it to stand. The Fusion GPS saga isn’t over. The Clinton-DNC funding is but a first glimpse into the shady election doings concealed within that oppo-research firm’s walls. We now know where Fusion got some of its cash, but the next question is how the firm used it. With whom did it work beyond former British spy Christopher Steele ? Whom did it pay? Who else was paying it? Lastly, while Debbie Wasserman-Schultz -- head of the DNC when the DNC paid for the FusionGPS "legal services" -- and Jon Podesta -- Hillary's campaign manager when Hillary's campaign paid for FusionGPS' "legal services" -- both claim they know nothing about the dossier or Fusion, look who Jon Podesta's lawyer is, who's also, get this, the lawyer for the DNC:
... and Marc Elias is, in turn, their lawyer at Perkins Cole, the firm which, get this, actually paid for the dossier. So he was their lawyer, and he didn't tell any of them he was violating FEC rules on their behalf by paying for oppo research (which involved putting money in the hands of Kremlin operatives) ? Really? Really? The only people stupid enough to believe this are your leftist media "reporters" who print your talking points as #AppleFacts. | Recent Comments
