DON'T MISS STORIES. FOLLOW RAW STORY!

District Court Judge Dabney Friedrich rejected an attempt to have special counsel Robert Mueller removed from the Russia investigation.

Attorneys for Russian oligarch-owned Concord Management and Consulting LLC, which has been indicted by Mueller, recently argued in court that the special counsel’s appointment is unconstitutional because he was not appointed by the president or attorney general.


But in a 41-page ruling released on Monday, Dabney rejected the defendant’s argument.

Point-by-point, Dabney dismantled Concord Management’s attack on Mueller. According to the judge, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein acted properly when he appointed Mueller because Attorney General Jeff Sessions had recused himself from the investigation.

The decision makes Dabney, who was appointed by President Donald Trump, the fourth judge to uphold Mueller’s appointment.

District Court Judges T.S. Elliot, Amy Berman Jackson and Beryl A. Howell have all previously rejected attempts to undermine Mueller’s investigative powers.

No single man, not elected, has the power to indict the president. The constitution says this. The only way he can be removed from office is impeachment by the house and senate. The fact that this "Russian collusion" investigation has only resulted in Manafort being indicted for wire fraud from something he did 13 years ago and he was campaign manager for Trump for only 2 months shows how desperate they are.

Judges have proven themselves to be morons in the past. The supreme court will fix all this shit, hopefully.

But lets be very clear, this was NOT Trump removing him. Trump has the power to remove him with the stroke of a pen. This was a private party filing this claim.

Let Trump do it.

[airplanemechanic]

Yes but their blind partisanship keeps them blind to it.

It's only Trump, with no proof whatsoever, who colluded. Let's totally ignore the KNOWN collusion between Clinton, the FBI, the Steele dossier and the Russians.

 

[candycorn]

The investigation in the the multiple scandals of the Trump crime syndicate continue.

 

[airplanemechanic]

Oh yes, it continues, on and on and on and on and on......19 months of NOTHING.....and it just keeps dragging on like a B movie in a theater sitting next to a girl with no front teeth....

No that is NOT conclusive or true as no one has tested it yet.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Tough, Trumpers. Clinton and Obama have not a thing to do with Trump's own-induced criminal problems with the FBI and DOJ.

Yes it is. Trump appointed him. So Trump can fire him. He can fire him for the raid on Cohen's office looking for proof of paying off a hooker, which was far beyond the scope of the investigation which was Russia Trump collusion. Trump serves as the top federal law enforcement officer. If he disapproves of the execution of the law by subordinate Justice Department officers, he can remove them. Presidents can not only direct all federal prosecutions, as they have from the days of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, they also can drop cases for wasting resources.

Perspective | Yes, Trump can fire Mueller. But a normal president would know not to try it.

Opinion | Of Course Trump Can Fire Mueller. He Shouldn’t.

 

[Claudette]

This will just have to play out. What a waste of time.

Of course Trump can fire Mueller.

And end his presidency immediately.

 

[airplanemechanic]

Nope he'd be well within his constitutional right to do so. Nothing to end his presidency over. He could fire him for no reason at all, but the fact that he was appointed to investigate Trump Russia collusion and he had his lawyers office raided by force to look for evidence of paying off a hooker shows he overstepped his bounds and would be justification for firing him immediately.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Yup, you keep traveling with that, and Real America here is hoping Trump does just what you want.

 

[airplanemechanic]

He would be justified for doing so, but the left hates him so badly they don't care if the investigation is legit or fair, they just want to see Trump gone.

You're a partisan hack and quite frankly you're a joke on this forum.

 

[JakeStarkey]

"You're a partisan hack and quite frankly you're a joke on this forum." See how you defined yourself, airplanemechanic.

If Trump fires Mueller, he is committing an act of obstruction of justice, which he has done several times before.

Mainstream GOP leaders have told him (including McConnell and Ryan) that is Presidency is over if he does that.

What you believer or do not believe matters not on this issue.

Then you've got nothing to worry about! Just sit back, let the investigation run its course.

We despise him down to his orange skin cells, fake yellow hair roots and his big fat bile spewing mouth. AND we want a fair, thorough and LEGAL investigation because WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE FUCK REALLY HAPPENED!

Got it now?

They sure don't act like their man is innocent do they? Of course he walks, talks, and tweets putting a bigger fatter target on his head every single day!!
