Donald will be filling his knickers with Mueller's latest team addition!

[PearliePoo2]

The BEST, the BRIGHTEST and the MOTIVATED are joining Team Mueller!!
This A+ group will be in the history books and studied and analyzed forever.
Check out the photo of this man at the link! 'Don the Con' won't be trying any intimidating, bully bullshit with this guy! Corruption is his SPECIALTY!

New York Prosecutor Joining Special Counsel Mueller’s Team

Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Goldstein of the Southern District of New York will join Mueller’s team.

Goldstein was former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara's top public corruption prosecutor.

He's known for multiple successful prosecutions of New York lawmakers on corruption charges. He's also highly regarded in the Southern District and across Justice for those prosecutions, his thoroughness in investigations, and high level of success.

4. LOL. You're not even trying.

[PearliePoo2]

9. Yeah, really!

[Squinch]

11. I love the way they all think they're slick. SMH.

[shraby]

8. That is in no way obstruction of anything, much less justice.

Get real.

[Squinch]

13. Shoot. It's gone. We hardly got to play with it at all.

[pangaia]

16. What was it about?

[Squinch]

28. Just some stupid troll saying that Loretta Lynch's word choices constituted obstruction of justice.

Because she called something an issue rather than an investigation, or some such idiocy.

I would bet my paycheck that he says, "No problem," to the fact that Russia rigged the election, and in the same breath talks about how patriotic he is.

They're all as dumb as a bag of hammers.

[pangaia]

47. Thanks,Squinch.

Things are happening so fast, I don't dare blink.

[Squinch]

50. I hear you! You're very welcomed.

[SergeStorms]

74. I'll never forget.....

Trump's words after the (s)election was over. He called voting, and I'm paraphrasing here....." American's most cherished tradition".....blah, blah, blah.....some other bullshit. I nearly had a stroke after he said that. If it's so fucking "cherished", why doesn't he investigate the Russian's interference with it? Because it benefited HIM, that's why. And it will benefit the GOP in the mid-terms, and it would benefit HIM again in 2020 (please, he CAN'T last that long!).

So, to sum it up, voting is a "cherished tradition" as long as voter interference and election fraud benefit HIM! If it benefited his opponent, or even resulted in a level playing field, voter fraud and election interference would be another of his "top priorities" and the twitter world would be aflame from Donnie Darko's tempestuous fingers.

I remember a time when we had SANE Presidents in this country. It seems like such a long time ago. Every day with Trump in power seems like a year.

[NRaleighLiberal]

12. your user name is quite ironic - are you really proud of DT?

23. Spill with the beans

I miss having the MIR Team inside skinny.

[C Moon]

27. I wish they would post the "angry" letters to DU, like they used to.

[Maraya1969]

54. Their name was "Proud of DT"? What kind of imbecile thinks they can get away

with that and that post on this forum????

[NRaleighLiberal]

55. no, their name was ProudAmerican, but the post indicated a strong drumpf supporter

just a regular old troll!

[BannonsLiver]

2. I wonder if the fact that they're still in the hiring phase

Gives us any indication as to where they are in the process. Seems like they might not be as far along as it seems, or they are encountering so much criminal activity they are hiring as they go.

[PearliePoo2]

15. I think the latter. It must be mind-boggling the treasonous criminal web they're untangling.

Maybe as they see where it's going, he's hiring specialists for every avenue.
I can imagine they are lining up 100's deep for the career-making honor of being on the team that will fight for justice and for our Country. It will be their finest hour!
Godspeed good ladies and gentlemen!

[Amaryllis]

21. i think that too. THe number of people and their different areas of expertise shows how wide

and deep the web goes.

[flibbitygiblets]

35. God I hope they are finding stuff that they can make stick. I bet Flynn has rolled already.

Speaking of which, has anyone seen him in public lately? I hope they have him tucked away safely where no one can pull a Russian hit on him.

[onetexan]

61. i'm sure there are plenty of good lawyers wanting to be part of this investigation

to put away the treasonous bastards roaming the halls of our governmental offices. Mueller seems to be lining up good people. Why he won't hire Preet Bharara is my question (or why Preet wouldn't accept maybe?).

[Egnever]

63. Because he is a part of the investigation

I am quite sure his firing is part of the obstruction investigation.

[onetexan]

82. Ah that makes sense

I didn't think of it that way. thanks!

[Doitnow]

81. Members of a mob stick together-----until they don't!

[Juliusseizure]

64. Go where evidence takes you

Hiring a lead corruption prosecutor is a sign there's solid evidence for a Russian money laundering/fraud type crime.

I would think Mueller would prefer nailing down clearcut, less attention raising criminal charges like illegal financial transactions that are more straightforward to prove if he can first.

Trump was desperate for money and is a known fraud - Trump Univ. was an easy case to win. It wasn't even accredited.

[Takket]

3. sooner the better............

every day this investigation takes is another day trump defiles the office and brings us closer to ruin.......... i know this is complicated but the house is already on fire and we are waiting for the trucks to arrive before the roof collapses

[Squinch]

7. Do tell us how the poster is wrong. I'm dying to hear your reasons.

[shraby]

10. Are you sure your at the site you think you are?

Better check your favorites.

[INdemo]

5. I think this means that Trump will being trying harder now to find

avenues to fire Mueller. Lets see what Rod Rosenstein is really made of ..

[ancianita]

20. ANY avenue will put the obstruction of justice nail in Agent Orange's coffin. Mueller is safe.

[INdemo]

30. I hope you are correct but with a Republican Majority they

will use every damn excuse they can and all for the 36%.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

59. I have that same concern.

Who's going to prosecute him?

[ancianita]

75. Whether Mueller goes -- and that's not going to happen -- Congress already knows that

it's too damned late.

Why? Because all the other seven lawyer investigators who're in place aren't going anywhere,
AND they've got their hands on the entire FBI -- the entire FBI -- all of whom are sworn to uphold the Constitution just as Congress is sworn to -- for evidence-intelligence-classified information gathering,

AND any new prosecutor cannot suppress any evidence brought forward;

AND SCOTUS cannot suppress evidence or misrule against any case supported by a preponderance of it, either.

Finally, if the military itself sees this government -- through politically expedient decisions -- do all the things you think they might do, which it will judge as endangerment to the security of the country through dysfunctional and unethical, political firings and hirings -- obstruction of justice, plain and simple -- it will step in. Don't think it can't happen just because it hasn't happened yet.

[PearliePoo2]

80. What a great thought out post! You've made my morning, thanks!

You seem very well informed. Do you have a legal background, may I ask?
Also, I notice you have a wonderful quote from Chief Seattle. Do you live in Washington State?

[ancianita]

84. Hahaha... I'm not a lawyer but do have lawyer friends. I'm in Chicago, and have taught First Nations

literature.

[Enoki33]

67. Those that know trump professionally seem to think he would not

hesitate one moment to fire Mueller and Rosenstein if ruin is facing him squarely. Could be one of the reasons he is continually shoring up his base. He could potentially call for civil unrest. The more you see of trump the more reasons you have to question where his allegiance lies. He is the embodiment of evil.

[ancianita]

78. He wouldn't if he thought he could get away with it, but too many around him know they'll

Last edited Sun Jul 2, 2017, 09:49 PM - Edit history (2)

go down if he does, and they're all frozen, right now, into "respecting the process."

Trump calls for disruption all the time. Even his own followers are using him as the new standard of what not to do.

Embodiment of evil or not, it's good for Americans to know how those embodiments work, in both our domestic leadership and in foreign leadership -- no more cartoon boogey man caricatures can scare them when they see them up front and start to get woke about the dangers 45 types pose to their well being.

The Dow Jones is down lately. Even the rich are concerned about the Kochs' narrative for governing.

[PearliePoo2]

24. Yeah, this possibility has my guts in a knot.

I think he's hearing all kinds of advice, pros and cons. He not rational or sane so who knows.
What does a mortally wounded rat do when he's backed into a corner? I guess we're going to find out.

[MiddleClass]

14. former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, revenge, a dish best served cold

This is getting better.

[FakeNoose]

18. Yes but revenge for Comey too

In fairness I believe Mueller's first instinct *isn't* revenge, he wants to get to the bottom of the crimes committed.

But if he can do that and get revenge for Bharara & Comey at the same time, it will be even sweeter.

[robbob]

36. Shouldn't your gif say "Look at all the fucks I DON'T give"?

Along the lines of "I could care less" vs "I couldn't care less"?

😁

[A-Schwarzenegger]

41. "I give a fuck"

is a stronger way of saying "I don't give a fuck"
than "I don't give a fuck." "I give a fuck" is so strong
with not giving a fuck that it doesn't even
need the don't.

[hughee99]

68. The connection of people on Mulluer's team with

People who have had issues with Trump isn't the sort of thing most of us would find acceptable if they were investigating a Democrat.

[lunatica]

76. What if the Democrat was as guilty as Trump?

[hughee99]

85. So you're okay with potentially biased investigators

As long as you "know", before the investigation, that the person is guilty?

[lunatica]

86. I don't believe Meuller is biased.

Just because he's investigating the Russia connection and all it's ramifications after every single intelligence agency has said it happened does not make him biased.

Obviously there has to be something to investigate. He has a history of being quite professional. He isn't known for making things up because he's already made up his mind.

As for me. I believe that dozens of intelligence agency's (without a single one forthcoming with any news to the contrary, by the way) may warrant an investigation. I don't believe the CIA is faultless, nor is the FBI, but there is no historical evidence that they collude on anything.

[hughee99]

87. While Meuller may or many not have some conflicts, this thread is about another investigator

who may also have some conflicts with Trump. Rather than expressing any concern for that conflict, the poster I was replying to seemed to think that this was not only fine, but an opportunity for revenge.

Simply put, if they found a bunch of people who had issues with the Clintons, or personally worked for people who had issues with the Clintons in the past, how would you have felt about those people being on the email/server investigation?

[lunatica]

88. The Clintons were and have been persecuted

As have the Obamas. The situation is very different with Trump. Clinton was guilty of filandering yet that was used as an excuse to continue to "investigate" non-stop. Hilary has never been found guilty of anything at all other than using a private server. Yet she continues to be investigated year after year after year.

There is no similarity in their situation compared to trump's situation. He deserves to be investigated as much as he insisted on investigating the birther accusations against President Obama. It's not very useful to think both sides are equal. There is no equivalency. No one, not even Trump could have possibly believed that Obama was not a US citizen. Yet he went ahead and did it anyway. I don't see how anyone can defend him.

[hughee99]

89. In an investigation, any investigation, you should expect the people involved to not go in with

personal biases for or against the target. It shouldn't matter if you like the target of the investigation, if you don't like them, if they've been persecuted for decades, if no one has ever heard of them before, if they're accused of stealing a stick of gum or if they're accused of stealing an election. That's what I believe. It sounds like you and I disagree.

[NastyRiffraff]

19. Mueller's investigation is looking better and better

I'm re-reading "All the President's Men" after 40+ years. It took awhile but they got Nixon. Dump's crimes are far worse than Nixon's, and his were very very bad. Mueller and his team will get the Swamp Things too.

[saidsimplesimon]

22. Muellar

is qualified for the job. It must drive rumpublicans crazy with envy.

Thank you intelligence community, public servants and patriots one and all.

[George II]

25. I would love to see Bharara become part of Mueller's staff as well.

[Squinch]

29. Goldstein is a really big deal. It suggests that they are finding that Trump(R)'s criminal deals in

New York are tied up with Russia. It all looks more and more like a big money laundering operation.

[PearliePoo2]

48. Absolutely! In the words of Uncle Joe to Barack...

"This is a BIG fucking deal!" All hands are on deck!

[furtheradu]

31. Isn't it funny

..how the best, brightest, & motivated are so willing to leave lucrative private sector careers, to be part of Mueller's Team..

While the worst, inept, & corrupt are with trump..
& even funnier, all those vacancies in important positions, cuz who wants to be associated with the crazy?!?

This gives me HOPE

[PearliePoo2]

34. Yes, it's VERY telling! These people are the cream of the crop!

They wouldn't be signing up in droves for any investigation that doesn't have merit. For these people, FAILURE is NOT an option!

[furtheradu]

40. "Failure is NOT an option"!!!

Thanks for this OP!

[Kaleva]

38. Just read your post and I had noticed that too.

Mueller is hiring the best of the best while Trump is looking for any crumbs willing to work for him. And it's getting worse and worse for Trump as time goes on.

[furtheradu]

43. Inspiring, isn't it!

Patriotic REAL Americans, PROFESSIONALS, stepping up to do their Sacred Duty.

They do THEIR Thing,
Dems(in Office & Citizens!) do OURS.. being ACTIVE & VOCAL. Constantly, & any Way WE can.

trump-rusky-republikers will NOT get away with their treason & crimes.

I have been sad reading so many can't celebrate OUR INDEPENDENCE this year. I understand, but it only makes me more determined. WE have a lot to do to save Our Country, & WE CAN.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

69. Kind of gives me goosebumps, actually!

It IS inspiring! Shows how true it is about "birds of a feather".

Kind of like watching the archetypal battle between Good and Evil.

Actually it's not "kind of"----it is *literally* a battle between Good and Evil!

[furtheradu]

70. YES ... "literally"!

& I have great HOPE,
in KARMA,
Divine Timing,
& gooodness!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

Keep the energy on The Right Thing, earnest desire for Justice, and doing what you can--within yourself and without.

60. This is encouraging

I don't think they'd be going to this much trouble to assemble a team like this unless they were completely serious about taking 45 down hard.

[BainsBane]

62. I hope this pans out

I so want Trump to go to jail.

[Scarsdale]

65. Me, too

along with his entire family and advisers, too!! I still think Maleria's parents are somehow involved. Communists, who live in tRump tower, and Mar-A-Lago. They trvel with her, but are not shown on camera. Is she afraid to be alone with him? Are they there at Vlad's request, watching his "prize puppet"??

[B Stieg]

66. Russia isn't communist (n/t)

I believe you thinking of the old political "handlers" ("commissars&quot the Politburo used to assign to every military unit and/or officer to ensure ideological compliance with the state (alongside the KGB agents assigned to track and investigate every important person's movements). It's a common tactic used in authoritarian regimes, as we see in North Korea today.

Trump needs to believe he is the source of all things. Handlers would negate that narrative in his mind and would therefore seem likely he wouldn't allow.

And, as we're about to see as our president meets his boss for the first time, Vladdie does know how to "run" Trump all by himself!

[RussBLib]

77. so when will we hear something concrete from Mueller?

All I see are references to people joining the investigation. We need some action before 45 does too much more damage.

[Miles Archer]

83. If and when they have something "actionable"

When they feel that they can bring charges...whether they are against Trump or members of his "administration"...that's when we'll hear.

And if, God forbid, we hear that no charges will be brought, that would be another time when we'd hear from Mueller.
