Lock him up |
Have we heard anything from the elected Republicans who stated that firing Mueller would be a red line for them? Or have they mysteriously decided that red line is more of a warm beige and it's not that big a deal anymore |
Lindsey Graham is flapping his gums. Full of sound and fury. Signifying nothing. Manchin is familiarizing himself with the ways of New York talk. |
Lock him up. Lock him up.
It's ironic, isn't it? |
Ryan and McTurtle won’t allow the bills affording protection to the Special Counsel to come up for a vote. Mark my words. |
Mueller is a shiny object. Trump is going to go after Rosenstein. He just can’t help himself. |
The NY Times this morning suggested that "the memo" delves into Rosenstein and how he authorized surveillance into Carter Page in the fall of 2016. Well duh, Page was part of the campaign and was a known Russian stooge. This isn't secret, and Page has since admitted to discussing Russian sanctions and the Roseneft oil deal, so isn't this more of a smoking gun than something to cease the investigation? |
Not quite right. Rosenstein didn’t authorize surveillance of Page. At the time the Trump Administration took office, Page was the subject of an outstanding FISA warrant authorized by a federal judge based on the requisite showing of probable cause. Rosenstein signed off on an application for the FISC to continue the warrant, which the Court approved.

Thank you for clarifying. |
PS. In the Fall of 2016, Rosenstein was serving as the US Attorney in Maryland, a post he held until April 2017. He wasn’t at Main Justice approving FISA applications. |
So, to make the point absolutely clear, subsequent to April 2017, Rosenstein was presented with intelligence consistent with the fact that Carter Page was continuing to act as a Russian agent. Page, who couldn’t shut up, has now gone to the mattresses. |
Also, remember that Page has been on the IC radar screen since at least 2013.

Trump’s Justice Department concluded there was reason to believe Trump’s campaign advisor was acting as a Russian agent. How can anyone say there’s nothing to the Russia investigation? |
Blind stinking partisanship combined with a soupçon of treason sympathizing. |
