America left to face the nasty consequences of Robert Mueller’s actions

Important Snippets:

Mueller is apparently furious that his probe didn’t have more impact, and seems determined that the books not be closed. Apart from what he said, his decision to speak at all is telling. Given his claim he would never say anything beyond the report, why assemble the press to make a tantalizing statement? If the report is his testimony, as he said, why make the point in such showboat fashion? By protesting too much, he invites suspicion about his motive. By insisting he will say nothing new even if summoned by Congress, he begs for a subpoena.

The comparison to his friend Jim Comey is inescapable. Mueller has done exactly to Trump what Comey did to Hillary Clinton: trash him in public while declining to file charges. Since Comey’s July 2016 appearance where he cleared Clinton but criticized her over the e-mail scandal, the nation got a tutorial on the fact that prosecutors are not supposed to play talk-show host and moral arbiter. You charge or shut up. Now both men have violated that tradition, with Mueller compounding his error by creating a muddle about whether he would have charged Trump with obstruction absent a decades-old Justice Department regulation that says no sitting president can be indicted.

That Mueller is suggesting a different view now smacks of a feud between the longtime friends. Recall the letter he wrote to Barr in March, complaining the attorney general’s initial four-page description of the 448-page report “did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance” of it. Barr called the letter a “bit snitty,” and it has all the earmarks of having been written just to be leaked. And leaked it was.

When watching Mueller today, the first thing that came to mind was how much his statements seemed to mirror Comey. These are going to be very interesting days ahead.

Roger Stone aide ends challenge to Mueller

A former aide to political operative Roger Stone appears to have given up a yearlong quest to challenge special counsel Robert Mueller’s authority by resisting a grand jury subpoena. The aide, Andrew Miller, threw in the towel Wednesday just as Mueller made a brief but keenly watched public statement a few blocks away marking the end of his investigation.

Miller’s arguments against Mueller came up short with a federal district court judge and an appeals court panel in Washington. The former Stone aide faced a stark choice in recent days: testify or take the battle to the Supreme Court and accept the near certainty of being sent to the D.C. jail for contempt of court. Miller’s pro bono attorney, Paul Kamenar of the National Legal Policy Center, said Miller agreed to appear later this week before a grand jury that was previously attached to Mueller’s probe but is now being handled by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia. “We decided to come to the grand jury on Friday,” Kamenar said. “I don’t know what they want him to testify about.”

Kamenar said he received an email earlier this week from Aaron Zelinsky, a former attorney on Mueller’s team who now works for the U.S. Attorney’s Office in D.C., saying prosecutors want Miller to testify about his dealings with Stone from 2016 to the present. Stone was indicted in January on charges of lying to Congress and the FBI about his dealings with WikiLeaks during the 2016 presidential campaign. He has pleaded not guilty and is awaiting a trial, set for November.

Under Justice Department policy and court rulings, grand juries are not supposed to be used to investigate a criminal case that’s already been filed, although they can be used to add new charges or to charge new defendants. “If they’re investigating other crimes then I don’t know what else they’re looking at,” Kamenar said.

Kamenar argued before Chief U.S. District Court Judge Beryl Howell and the appeals court that Mueller’s appointment was invalid because he was wielding so much authority that he required a nomination by the president and confirmation by the Senate. The conservative attorney also contended that former Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ recusal did not give former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein the power to name Mueller as special counsel.

Howell rejected the arguments last year, but she wasn’t entirely dismissive, saying Kamenar raised “legitimate questions.” In February, a three-judge D.C. Circuit panel turned aside Miller’s appeal. During a hearing Wednesday, Howell denied Miller’s motion to set aside previous rulings in the case and she ordered him to appear before the grand jury Friday at 9:30 a.m. She stayed her earlier contempt order until that time and ordered prosecutors to report to her by next week whether Miller was in compliance with the grand jury’s requests.

Thanks..been wanting to do a dig on him, because he seems to be back in focus, with the movie and retiring tour, dubbed:

"Farewell Yellow Brick Road"

In addition..this has always reminded me of this Q drop.

He basically pulled a Comey and left a path of "destruction" behind him..Declass will essentially clean the house. Even if it is only one bucket at a time.

I do know about the speech, but my thought process here was..more than one meaning. He seems to have a coded kind of dress through out his years and the Yellow Brick Road tour is very much one of his theme songs along with Rocket man. I just don't believe with his vocation and his flamboyant show style combined with him being Knighted, we can dismiss him any more than we wouldn't dismiss Maddonna for her show style. :)
