Stephen Miller was the Communications Director for Senator Jeff Sessions. It could be that Trump is getting a lot of detailed information about what Horowitz has found and what the DOJ Outside Prosecutor is developing etc.

Sara wrote some interesting stuff on Mueller's past.Quote:
In Boston, Mueller was an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the U.S. Attorney's Office and then became the Acting U.S. Attorney from 1986 through 1987.
It was Mueller's actions during that time that raised questions about his role in one of the FBI's most controversial cases involving the FBI's use of a confidential informant that led to the convictions of four innocent men, who were sentenced to death for murders they did not commit.
Local law enforcement officials, the media, and some colleagues criticized Mueller and the FBI for what they believed was the bureau's role in covering up for the FBI's longtime dealings with mobster and informant James "Whitey" Bulger.

Regarding that threadreader post.
Had forgotten that Flynn was charged by information and was never actually indicted by a grand jury. Which is weird. The original story was that a grand jury in Virginia had taken up the Flynn matter prior to Mueller's appointment as SC. Mueller then removed the matter from that grand jury, presumably to present it to his newly convened grand jury in DC.
Yet, apparently the Flynn matter was not presented to the DC grand jury for a final determination*, and now we know why. It was late July early August when Horowitz informed Mueller of the Strzok/Page texts. The assumption is Horowitz included the texts that referenced altered 302s. A 302 would have been the very foundation for the charge against Flynn. Coincidence?
Did Mueller (or his team) present evidence regarding Flynn to the DC grand jury at all? Did that include a potentially altered 302 written by Strzok? Did Mueller then pull the Flynn matter away from the grand jury when he learned the evidence was likely tainted? Were Flynn's lawyers aware of that?
Just how unethical is Mueller? It is one thing to be zealous, it is a far different thing to be as crooked as a dog's hind leg.
*Part of the documents filed with the Court included a waiver of indictment by a grand jury.
Not a chance in hell that Flynn was a part of some sort of sting operation, in my view. Not wittingly, that is.Quote:
I know the whole 5d-underwater chess stuff seems illogical. But could this support the theory that Flynn set Mueller up to discredit his entire investigation? As in cave to pleading guilty knowing he is innocent and will be exposed as innocent by the IG report.
Either way hawg I've been coming around to your line of thinking on the Mueller intentions. He was SES and part of the swamp for too long to want this stuff exposed.
In retrospect, I think the public 'revelation' that Strzok & Page were removed from Mueller's Team because of anti-Trump texts + an illicit affair was all misdirection...virtually all of Mueller's Team suffers from anti-Trump bias. But editing 302s would constitute an actual crime, obstruction of justice, and that fact would remain hidden until at least an indictment was filed (which likely has already occurred but is sealed or being kept secret -- notice, not a public whisper from Strzok). So I suggest that Strzok was removed by Mueller & re-assigned within the FBI because of the 302 editing which resulted in Flynn's guilty plea. If this is true, it means that Mueller was aware of the edited 302s before the Flynn guilty plea = nuclear explosion. The only way around this would be Mueller playing a role while other players were being exposed & additional evidence was being obtained (such as McCabe ordering Strzok to alter the 302s, etc.)aggiehawg said:

FBI is still stonewalling on that. Hopefully the OIG report will lead to indictments of Comey, Yates, Brennan, Strzok, McCabe and others, maybe even Mueller himself. Not usually a fan of televising trials as a general proposition but I would be glued to the TV (and TexAgs) if any of those folks were tried and it was televised.Quote:

I questioned Mueller's intentions the moment he started hiring so many outside lawyers as there was no need to reinvent the wheel here. FBI counter-intel had been investigating the Russian collusion theory for nearly a year before he was appointed. Mueller needed those worker bees to bring their knowledge of the previous investigation (like Strzok and Page, ironically) not more outside lawyers with their own staffs. He was building a bloated staff, not a streamlined investigation. (Just the way DC operates but still he didn't have to do that.)fasthorses05 said:

The Techno-Frog Threadreaderapp story is absolutely crushing. These types of actions and stories from our government stay with me like a splinter I can't get out of my hand. It's genuinely infuriating, and probably one of the main reasons I believe like I do.
So, not only do I believe Mueller is a black-hat, I believe he probably condoned criminal acts by an Administration (Obama) who believed the law was not only pliable, but apparently didn't apply to them. Therefore, that makes Mueller liable.
Now we know WHY he chose Weissman, a man that gets convictions by any means necessary, only to have them overturned. And Rosenstein is certainly aware of Mueller's history, so Rosenstein is also culpable!! You're judged by the company you keep.
Mueller is a crook and a *******!
In Gowdy's case, I think he's trying to stay neutral and not exhibit any bias just in case he is asked to join DOJ (in South Carolina) or to be a Special Counsel.Quote:
I'm convinced Mueller is a black hat (and all around bad guy.) What I can't understand is why Gowdy and others are defending him so vigorously. I originally thought the idea was, don't discredit him because then when his investigation ends and the conclusion is "no collusion between Russia & Trump" they could say "All righty then, well as we said Mueller is legit, he says no collusion, case closed."
I'd wager someone like Victor Davis Hanson will write a series of books. If they are best sellers, some one will buy the rights to them. Now that someone may never intend to make a movie or series out them. Always that possibility.Agnzona said:

IMHO Trey Gowdy is a true believer, and is a dedicated to his beliefs that the system works. People make mistakes and individuals do nefarious things, but the system works and is solid and functional, it's the people that screw it up. Gowdy defends the process or the system, not Mueller.

I don't know what I don't know, but I do know there is way more happening under the surface than we will probably EVER understand. This isn't going to be just a great movie someday, it's going to be a great SERIES of movies.
He has also seen much of what Mueller has and has little fear of it amounting to much that will affect the Presidency.Quote:

Any movie/series coming from this would (most assuredly) be politicized by hollywood to reflect poorly on Conservaties. Not going to pay $ to watch a fake news version of the crap that is DC.Tailgate88 said:

I've known some sleazy lawyers pull some some outright illegal tactics and then I have seen some very crafty lawyers toe that bright line again and again, just barely escaping an ethical or legal charge. The so-called "sharks."Quote:
This type of attorney, to me, is the one to be feared. Only other attorneys realize the small tactics of an operator on the fringes. Those kind of guys are never recognized by the general public.
When you throw in the power of a $4 trillion government, with no mandate, or specific crime (as called for in the statute), then you know what's up!
Yeah, I don't think that there was enough time by the Flynn interview for team Trump to formulate a 5D chess strategy. However, it was part of a methodically premeditated strategy planned for months to either unseat Trump or remove legitimacy from his presidency.aggiehawg said:Not a chance in hell that Flynn was a part of some sort of sting operation, in my view.

If anything, he was caught up in a trap set by Comey and Yates, then Acting AG. Hell! At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Kislyak was in on it and instructed to have those conversations with both Sessions (as a Senator) and Flynn. Talk about Russian collusion!
