Mr Huber goes to Washington

From the moment it was announced that Jeff Sessions was resigning as attorney general, to be replaced by the far-lesser-known Matthew Whitaker, the mainstream media began pushing a narrative that President Donald Trump is preparing to fire special counsel Robert Mueller.
Trump critics are convinced what the country is seeing right now is a slow-rolling repeat of the infamous “Saturday Night Massacre” of the Watergate scandal. President Richard Nixon, who was desperate to stop the probe before it reached the White House, ordered Attorney Gen. Elliot Richardson to fire special counsel Archibald Cox. Richardson refused, and resigned. Deputy Attorney General William Ruckelshaus also resigned, rather than follow Nixon’s order.
It then fell to the solicitor general, Robert Bork, to fire Cox. Nixon’s desperate gambit to stall the Watergate investigation failed to save his presidency, and he resigned from office shortly thereafter.
Using the events of 1973 as their template, some Trump critics are assuming that Sessions was ordered to fire Mueller and he refused, which led to his being forced to resign so that a more compliant person could move into the post. So, it’s assumed that Whitaker is Trump’s personally handpicked attack dog who will do whatever the president commands him to do.
This hysterical narrative assumes that Trump sees Mueller and his team as a real threat to himself and to his administration. For two weeks now, anti-Trump forces have loudly beaten the drum that Muller mustn’t be fired under any circumstances. Outgoing senator—and fierce Trump critic—Jeff Flake of Arizona has thus far made good on a promise to not vote to confirm any more judges until the Senate brings to the floor an unconstitutional bill he authored that literally makes it impossible for Mueller to be fired—by the president, by the attorney general, or anybody else.
This narrative depends on accepting the belief that the Mueller team, which has been leaking like a sieve for more than a year and a half, has found real solid evidence of the Trump campaign colluding with the Russians but has managed somehow to not leak it to the news media. And, in addition, that Trump is growing increasingly desperate to stop the investigation before that evidence is publicly revealed.
Washington has a leak culture. It would defy belief that the Mueller team has had in its possession, for even a few weeks, a smoking gun that would supposedly bring down a presidency, and that it didn’t leak that information. Any reporter that could get their hands on such a smoking gun and break the news would instantly enter the history books. So would their source, who would instantly become the new “Deep Throat,” the inside official in the Watergate scandal that brought down the Nixon presidency.
Well, the conventional take is, as usual, wrong. Once again, Trump has the mainstream media looking in the wrong direction and unprepared for what is about to actually happen.

Now, Huber is coming to Washington on Dec. 5 to discuss some of what he and Horowitz have found. Was the Clinton Foundation involved in any of the money laundering that went on? We’ll soon know.
Get the popcorn ready!!
