Aides Say Mueller Is An Asshole And A Screwup

[Reasonable]

Mike Flynn is one who was part of the campaign and president’s inner circle.
He’s now flipping on Trump to save his hide.
The shit he must know will be illuminating and very damaging to this criminal president.

So when is Trump going to prison?

The Prog timeline for Trumps incarceration seems to change daily.

 

[Reasonable]

Papadopoulos was the underling Trump thought wouldn’t be detectable when he sent him to Russia to get dirt on Hillary.

Backfired on the stupid fuck.
Trump has bungled the past 12 months just like he bungled his pursuit of working with the Russians.

“It’s a hard.. it’s a hard.. it’s a hard.. it’s a hard rain that’s going to fall. “

I can see it now... when Mueller releases his final report on the crimes of Trump and his inner circle the T sheep’s first two words out of their mouths will be “ fake news.”

You watch.

Steve Bannon said there’s a 30% chance that trump will finish his first term and he knows where the bodies are buried.
Sucks to be you.

This thread is a hoot. We have the biggest fuck up president in history being investigated by a brilliant public servant all republicans and democrats admit is a stellar choice for the job so we now get these scurrilous accusations on him.

The right is in pure panic mode and it’s a delight to see.

 

[TroglocratsRdumb]

The Russian collusion conspiracy is one of the craziest smears the Dirty Democrats have ever come up with and the worst part about it is that the Press plays along with it.

If it is so crazy why did Trump's foreign policy adviser pled guilty to lying to FBI about it?

What's crazy is rightwinger denials given what we know at this point.

got collusion?

So when will Trump go to prison? Within 3 years?

That’s interesting. I am glad to see you as a Steve Bannon supporter...I didn’t see that previously.

It sucks to be me, sure.

Do you think Hillary is going to be POTUS, ever?

Where are you posting from? Greenland?

1. No Evidence A Crime of 'Collusion' Ever Happened.

Except the guilty plea confirms that 100% it did happen and all that is left unconfirmed is the EXTENT to which it was happening and who else is involved in the campaign.

Your denials are laughable.

100% of what happened? No one has plead guilty to "colluding" with the Russians.

There is not a crime called "collusion", there is a crime of CONSPIRACY TO COMMIT WIRE FRAUD, perjury and then there is also obstruction of justice.

He pleaded guilty to lying to FBI about his dealings with Russians, specifically dealings related to materials against Hillary Clinton and his attempts to set up a meeting between candidate Trump and Putin.

got collusion?

Robert Mueller is the kind of person that can't admit when he screwed up, aides say. Robert Mueller can’t own up to his mistakes, aides say

November 26, 2017

Robert Mueller, special counsel overseeing the investigation into Russia’s alleged interference in the 2016 presidential election, is a “gruff guy” who routinely undermined his subordinates and evaded responsibility as head of the FBI, according to several former aides and investigators who worked with Mueller interviewed by the Los Angeles Times.

​

In a lengthy profile published on Friday, the Times dredged up some of Mueller’s most difficult moments throughout his career as government prosecutor and as the sixth director of the FBI, a post he maintained from 2001 until 2013.

Those interviewed criticized Mueller’s handling of many high-profile cases stretching back to 1979, his temperament with government witnesses, and for directing his subordinates at the FBI to shield him from criticism.

One former aide went so far as to say that Mueller is “someone that can’t accept the fact that he screwed up.”


The Times profile begins by focusing on Mueller’s tenure at the U.S. Attorney’s Office, where he was criticized for mishandling high-profile cases and for his treatment of government witnesses and subordinates.

The first of these cases took place in 1979, when Mueller, as head of the U.S. attorney’s special prosecutors unit, took over the case against 33 members of the Hells Angels motorcycle club charged with drug trafficking, murder, and bombings. The first trial, which sought to imprison 18 of the accused members, was unsuccessful, as the five convictions reached in the case were overturned on appeal.

Mueller then took over the case and lead a team of four prosecutors in the second trial with 11 eleven defendants. However, as reported by the Times, “after four months, the jury said it was deadlocked, and the judge declared a mistrial. Mueller decided not to ask for a retrial.”

Mueller then transferred to the U.S. attorney’s office in Boston where he oversaw cases against Panamanian president Manuel Noriega, the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 in 1988, and head of the Gambino crime family, John Gotti.

However, his success was marked by a disdain from some of his subordinates. As noted by the Times, Mueller sparked resentment “when he referred privately to reassigning career lawyers as ‘moving the furniture.’”

After a short stint in private practice, Mueller returned to public service as a homicide prosecutor in Washington, D.C. in 1995, where Mueller reportedly had a tough time forging relationships with victims, suspects, and government witnesses and was charged with being cold and unsympathetic.


"He was a gruff guy, and a lot of times, there wasn't much warmth or ability to really build a bond or connect with a victim-witness," one of Mueller’s fellow investigators told the Times. "There's times when you've got to bond with the suspect to get what you need. His personality wasn't necessarily the best for that."

Mueller was also criticized for his time as head of the FBI. He led the investigation into the deadly anthrax attacks in the years after 9/11 for nearly seven years, ultimately leading in the prosecution of the wrong suspect, who later successfully sued the government for $5.8 million.

After agents successfully traced back the anthrax to an Army microbiologist who committed suicide once he was informed of the impending charges, Mueller “was reluctant to publicly address the missteps” in the case.

"I think he was personally embarrassed," a former aide told the Times. "I would assess him as someone that can't accept the fact that he screwed up."

Later, as director of the FBI, Mueller instructed his staff to protect him from the agency’s oversight division, according to former colleagues interviewed by the Times.

Most notably, Mueller is charged with scrapping a highly-critical review of his Directorate of Intelligence, a unit that he had created at the FBI to investigate terrorism more effectively.

After an internal inspection reported that Mueller should “set [the unit] on fire and start from scratch,” his top aides decided to protect the director at all costs by hiding the report from the Justice Department’s inspector general.

“It was, ‘The director will get skewered. We've got to protect him, and we can't issue this,’” a former official told the Times. “Anywhere it said ‘inspection,’ they changed it to ‘review.’ And said this was a review, not an inspection, and therefore they didn't have to issue it to … the inspector general.”

Lastly, the Times article delves into Mueller’s unsuccessful attempt at negotiating with Russian officials to turn over Edward Snowden in 2013.

According to a former official, Mueller would call his Russian counterpart, Alexander Bortnikov, “starting at 3 a.m. in Washington” every day for at least a week, “begging to talk to the guy.” Bortnikov reportedly never answered the phone, and Snowden was granted asylum in Russia soon after.

​

It is easy to throw someone under the bus when your name doesn't appear in the story.

I'm not discounting the LA Times sources here, just noting that I would respect them more if they didn't hide behind the cover of an anonymous source.

I've been a Reds fan since 1959 and if they trade Cozart, I'm out.

What is your dream scenario here?

You claim Trump is going to prison within 3 years...how is that going to help your personal agenda? How will you personally be affected when Trump goes to prison?

Example of Mudd. pissing in his pants. No none is perfect, and leaders often offend subordinates who don't slink softly into the night when chewed out or fired.

Character assassination is Mudds game, everyone except Donald Trump makes occasional mistakes - Trump's mistakes are not the exception, they are the rule. But I digress, time will tell if Mudd and other's in denial accept the evidence Mueller and this team uncover, and more importantly, if a Grant Jury Indicts.

A classic example of projection if i ever saw one....

 

[ColonelAngus]

The longer it takes Mueller to send Trump to prison, the more Trump is erasing Obama.

Trump stands to appoint more federal judges than any President in history.

POTUS could be 9-2 to the right when Trump leaves, and he will add hundreds of federal judges who are right leaning.

The Senate decision by Harry Reid to eliminate the filibuster has completely fucked the Dems.

Dems are so fucked.

Trump has not done anything illegal...

Well, yeah, he has... and he's going down for it.

You just HATE Trump's guts because he is a WINNER, because he is a Republican...because he spanked Hillary's criminal ass, adding to the total of 1,000+ elections Democrats have lost and continue to do so.....

Guy, you can jerk off to the dog-catcher elections you won, but the end of the day, the People Said No, and you can't be president to only half the country.

Outside California, HIllary basically lost the popular vote.

I’m not sure what your argument is.

Lay out your scenario for all of us. What is going to happen to Trump and how will that help Democrats regain power in the House, the Senate, Govenorships, elected legislators, and POTUS?

Give us the roadmap.

Poor stubborn snowflake, I sympathize with you....just having gotten over Gore losing to Bush, now you suffer another historic, mind0numbing loss that will take you several more decades to get over...
