Giuliani says Mueller has informed him that Trump cannot be indicted

The “deep state” is in a deep state of desperation. With little time left before the Justice Department inspector general’s report becomes public, and with special counsel Robert Mueller having failed to bring down Donald Trump after a year of trying, they know a reckoning is coming.

At this point, there is little doubt that the highest echelons of the FBI and the Justice Department broke their own rules to end the Hillary Clinton “matter,” but we can expect the inspector general to document what was done or, more pointedly, not done. It is hard to see how a yearlong investigation of this won’t come down hard on former FBI Director James Comey and perhaps even former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, who definitely wasn’t playing mahjong in a secret “no aides allowed” meeting with former President Clinton on a Phoenix airport tarmac.

With this report on the way and congressional investigators beginning to zero in on the lack of hard, verified evidence for starting the Trump probe, current and former intelligence and Justice Department officials are dumping everything they can think of to save their reputations.

But it is backfiring. They started by telling the story of Alexander Downer, an Australian diplomat, as having remembered a bar conversation with George Papadopoulos, a foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign. But how did the FBI know they should talk to him? That’s left out of their narrative. Downer’s signature appears on a $25 million contribution to the Clinton Foundation. You don’t need much imagination to figure that he was close with Clinton Foundation operatives who relayed information to the State Department, which then called the FBI to complete the loop. This wasn’t intelligence. It was likely opposition research from the start...........................

1. Oh, there were 3 very simple reasons for the FBI to start this investigation:

- Trump doing business with russian mobster Felix Sater, russian oligarchs and the corrupt ruling family of Kazakhstan. And the FBI would definitly have known that Trump's real-easte deals have all the hallmarks of high-stakes money-laundering.

- Carter Page was under suspicion of being a russian spy for years before he even joined Trump's campaign. The Steele-dossier merely confirmed what the FBI already knew. That's how the FBI got the FISA-warrant to spy on him.

- Paul Manafort was a lobbyist working in Ukraine on behalf of Russia before he joined Trump's campaign.

3. Twitler's own useless offspring bragging

about how much Russian money was invested in their property. IMHO, Twitler was solidly on their radar from the time he announced the Miss Universe pagent would be in Moscow.

Mark Penn, Ex-Clinton Aide, Dismisses Mueller Inquiry, and the Clintons Along With It

In a series of recent newspaper columns and appearances on Fox News, Mr. Penn has endorsed Mr. Trump’s argument that the investigation by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, was instigated by secret Democratic intriguing. The inquiry, Mr. Penn said, has resorted to “storm trooper tactics” and has become a “scorched-earth effort” to “bring down Donald Trump.” ...

Today, he is the president of the Stagwell Group, a digital investment firm that owns a series of public affairs agencies, including one that has worked for Republicans like Speaker Paul D. Ryan and Mitt Romney, the former presidential candidate.
