Where is the Sauce?

 

I have heard a million times that Trump met with Mueller the day before he was appointed special council. The two article Q gave us links for - NPR and The Hill - both say something different.

 

>“Mueller had gone so far as to meet with Justice Department leaders and White House officials about the FBI job, which opened after President Trump fired Director James Comey on May 9.” NPR June 9

 

>"President Trump was considering former FBI Director Robert Mueller to replace James Comey atop the bureau before Mueller was named as special counsel to oversee the investigation into Russian election interference, NPR reported Friday."

 

>"Mueller met with Justice Department and White House officials about leading the FBI again after Trump fired Comey in early May, the report said." The Hill June 9

 

So who did Mueller actually meet with? Justice Department at the time, Session was Attorney General, RR was Deputy, "senior Whitehouse Officials = ????

Great link anon, but it only deepens the mystery/ contradiction. Mueller is not listed in the set of potential candidates.

 

Seems like the June 9 article was "leaked" to NPR in order to explain some contact that had been discovered between Whitehouse, DOJ and Mueller prior to the Special Council appointment.

 

Seems more and more likely that the meeting was to show Mueller how he was going to go down and to make him an offer he could not refuse.

 

“Meanwhile, the president is interviewing candidates to replace Comey as FBI director, and a nominee could be named by Friday. Trump was to meet with four candidates at the White House on Wednesday, including former Sen. Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut, a Democrat turned independent; and former Oklahoma Gov. Frank Keating, a Republican. McCabe was also set for a White House interview, along with Richard McFeely, a former FBI official. Two other political candidates for the job — Texas Sen. John Cornyn and South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy — took themselves out of the running.”
