Mueller "Going For the Kill"

[kpete]

Mike Allen reports that special counsel Robert Mueller “is burrowing in hard on the obstruction of justice angle.”

Mueller haunts the West Wing“Republicans close to the White House say every sign by Mueller — from his hiring of Mafia and money-laundering experts to his aggressive pursuit of witnesses and evidence — is that he’s going for the kill.”

“Trump allies fret that the White House is ill-prepared for the public showdown with Mueller that will eventually come, and should be making legal, political and constitutional arguments for the president’s right to fire Comey. Statements by Trump lawyers tend to rattle, rather than reassure, White House allies.”

1. I would hope his goal is seeking justice.

Going for "the kill" comes off as personal.

[unblock]

2. not mueller's words.

those are the words of sensationalists over-selling their story, which is sensational enough already.

3. "Republicans close to the White House say"

Mueller and his people don't say

[sharp_stick]

6. Mueller is very good

at keeping his affairs in order. There isn't much leaking to be expected.

4. And it's not just about firing Comey!

No, shush, let them think that is all they have to be concerned with.....

5. Mike Allen is a dumbass

Mike Allen is the dumbest of the dumb, and always giving the Republican spin. Mueller is seeking justice.

7. while all this is wonderful...

I am the constant skeptic.

I will believe all of this when it actually happens.

washington is a den of snakes and as such have the inborn ability to slip out of anything.

until then, I will remain hopeful but guarded.

we have all seen various "investigations" vanish before our eyes in the past.

8. There's a whiff of Fitzmas to most of these stories.

Sadly, I'm not optimistic.

9. I agree...

what I think will actually happen is a few loyal orange tan toadies will fall on their swords and the rest will get off scott free.

the issue is that the criminality is systemic among the republican party. that is never going away nor will be held accountable.

as long as we have a two party system, it's in the governments best interest to keep the status quo, that includes letting those guilty go free.
