Mueller knew when he agreed to take the Job there was already a determination that there was no collusion, so why did he keep going? Why were they using extortion and other strong armed tactics when it was already determined nothing was there? The FBI even determined before hand Flynn never lied. The whole thing is very bizarre.
Again, Ohr testified he, Steele, and Mueller were working together on the Dossier BEFORE the official investigation was opened and BEFORE Mueller was appointed SC. IF Mueller told the DOJ, NSA, CIA, & FBI Steele was biased and the Dossier was unreliable BEFORE they went for the warrants and the official investigation THEN Mueller HAD TO KNOW going in that information.
I am guessing the Dossier was the main focus for the DOJ, NSA, CIA, and FBI but NOT for Mueller.
Mueller bit on the supposed meeting between George Papadopoulos and 'Russians', a meeting set up by an Australian Diplomat who happens to be a Hillary supporter. Papa had been contacted earlier by some shady foreign professor who claimed to have critical damaging information against Hillary Clinton. Papa did not engage / entertain the proposal. Later he was approached by 'Russians' offering Hillary data - again, Papa shared no information and took no information, Supposedly Papa had a, overheard conversation with Russians in the bathroom of some club that was spun into 'collusion'. Mueller and his team brought him in for questioning him about the time / date / location of this event. Papa said he panicked, being interrogated by Mueller's team, naively did not know they already knew about the meeting, and he did not want the simple event to blow up into some kind of conspiracy so he lied about it. The lie was exposed - Papa was indicted for lying to the FBI and spent 14 DAYS in jail for LYING TO THE FBI. They found NO EVIDENCE OF COLLUSION WITH RUSSIANS.
The Democrats also made the meeting between a Russian Lawyer and Trump Jr a key narrative in their 'Collusion Delusion'. This meeting was clearly an attempted set-up...that failed. Trump Jr claimed he was attending a meeting to discuss Russian adoptions. Within a few minutes of the meeting beginning he realizes that this is not what the meeting is about - he claimed to have texted his Secretary to phone him a few minutes later, giving him the excuse that something has come up and he had to leave. Phone records show this is exactly what happened. Trump
Jr left the meeting without accepting any information from the Russian lawyer. Despite this
FACT, Democrats - like Schiff - claim this meeting is
evidence of criminal collusion.
(Compared to Hillary paying Trump-hating foreign spies and Russians for a phone document to help her win, that was used illegally against Trump by Obama's DOJ, NSA, CIA, and FBI...
)
Let's back up for a second: The Russian lawyer was Putin's #1 Russian Lawyer...she also was BANNED from entering the US by Obama's Department of Immigration. To get her into the country to make this meeting happen Barak Obama himself had to override his Department of Immigration to have the ban on her lifted, allowing her to enter the country. Barry made the meeting happen. The FBI knew in advance this meeting was going to take place. They had teams in play, electronic surveillance was in place, and Obama's own personal ex-CIA Russian Interpreter was there in the room....well that's a helluva lot of coincidences involved in this one meeting. Bottom Line: It FAILED. The bait was not take, & Jr walked out without taking any information from Putin's lawyer.
MEETING with a Russian is NOT a crime.
- If it were Bill Clinton would be in jail by now for meeting directly with Vladimir Putin back in 2014(?) when he tried to meet with Russian Nuclear Agency officials. When he failed to get a meeting with them, he met directly with Vlad.
PAYING biased Trump-Hating foreign spies and Russians for unreliable Russian-authored / CNN on-line Blog site content Opposition Research MUST NOT be a crime....because Hillary did it and the democrats have not said a word about it.
NOT TAKING Russian-originated opposition research / information, it seems, is what is illegal and constitutes 'collusion' and 'treason' for Trump-hating Dems, Libs, and snowflakes.
