INBOX: Schumer Calls On Acting Attorney General Whitaker To Recuse Himself From Mueller Probe
He wouldn't take the job if he didn't want to do the dirty work.
I think if his findings were inconsequential, Trump & co. wouldn't be making chess moves to neuter his capabilities.Is it cognitive dissonance if I am incredibly anxious/nervous about the Muller investigation being killed/impaired, yet at the same time don't expect his findings to actually matter much due to successful impeachment being so unlikely with the republicans in congress?
That's wishful thinking. As long as the Republicans have the Senate they can do whatever they want without repercussions. Rosenstein no longer overseeing the investigation so Mueller is completely stalled and if the Democrats bring him in front of a camera hes not going to give up any evidence that can potentially be used in a trial... so i don't think anythings coming from this that would hurt Trump politically
He doesn't need to fire Mueller to hinder the investigation. Lower the investigation's budget, limit the number of staff, deny expanding into other areas, etc.
It's because sessions recused himselfTrump can't fire anyone that doesn't directly work for him. A special counsel is an independently appointed federal investigator.
He can only fire people that work directly under his own authority, like the AG, deputy AG, FBI director, etc... etc...
THEY are the ones that would have the authority to fire or reassign the probe to another investigator.
I can't imagine what ResetEra would be like right now had Democrats not won the House last night.
Mueller has to show what he has pretty soon,show real evidence.
I guess that depends on the information he has. If its as bad as we suspect then I have no doubt he would take every realistic risk.
What? He's already put people in jail and has handed out numerous indictments, with more to come. Just blurting our what he has now would be a horrible mistake, he's still working to the top.Mueller has to show what he has pretty soon,show real evidence.

Not to jump to any conclusions, but CNN currently has another camera up on TV reading "Rosenstein arrives at WH soon"
Now saying it's a preplanned meeting.
It's pre-planned. It might not mean what you think.
I think it's going to affect him stateside. Duded did shady shit with money and the state of New York isn't going to be held back by a corrupt senate.I think they absolutely will be damning, important findings, but the republicans in the senate just won't care.
Sessions going today was preplanned too.
Hey, I'm just trying to keep a level head and not drum up fear
Nah, seems pretty standard generic statement to me.Do y'all think the last sentence is a shot at Sessions or am I reading too much into that?
CNN didn't contradict that, but brought up a previous interview they had with him, where he spoke to Don Lemon on how to stop the investigation by slowing it down, and starving it from resources.Interesting. This directly contradicts what CNN is currently reporting (on CNN TV currently). Lots of confusing takes right now, we may need to wait for dust to settle.
Because these people are stupid motherfuckers who don't understand subtlety.He could but why do that when Whitaker could just deprive Mueller of funding and/or muddle his investigation?
Most sure but there is things FBI can't make public until they make indictments. Mueller knows more other than trump himself.Much of the necessary evidence is already in the public domain and has been that way for quite some time. A real congress would have impeached long ago.
