Stepped aside, or push out, in lieu of prosecution?
I think the fabric of lies and corruption that has been woven through the American system is about to become unravelled. Hopefully these expulsions/resignations are only the beginning in what will become an avalanche of charges and convictions. Under Obama there was an unmitigated disaster waiting to happen. It is now time for the Americans to set the record straight and totally clean house. Holder, Lynch, Lerner, Abedin, and the rest all have to be charged in order to work the way up the ladder and get the ones that are truly guilty of trying to ‘fundamentally change America’. If the present administration can clean house surgically without too much damage then there is still hope that the society that has advanced civilization can continue on that road, if not then the sacrifices that generations have suffered will be for nought.
Well said and hopefully you are right about the unraveling and charges.
The US is at a turning point of historic proportions and will either continue as an evolving liberal democracy or descend into a totalitarian Marxist oligarchy.
The DeMarxists fully intend to get away with all this.
CKNW Vancouver’s big news on Trump was about a lawsuit with a shake down artist porn star. Perfectly legal proceedings, but MR MUELLER IS LOOKING INTO IT, and apparently it’s a given the GOP is going to lose big time in November. They own the media, unless you watch Fox or subscribe the Bill O’Reilly, you will hear nothing of this seditionist cabal who openly surveilled a rival POTUS candidate using a bogus dossier as the intelligence source, continuing after his election.
Then, again based on no intelligence, an establishment lackey appoints another establishment lackey, both devoid of ethics, as a special prosecutor to investigate no actual crime, with retroactive terms of reference (I’m sure Rosenstein is preparing a new old letter as we speak), in search of actual evidence not obtained.
No worries; just lie. Comey talks about insignificant dossiers in FISA warrants, hiding behind the secret referral, trying to skate around the idea plenty of people have read that referral. Mueller consults archives to concoct a re-investigation of Manafort, with therefore no legal authority, and is dressed down big time by a highly regarded federal judge.
Flynn didn’t lie. Cohen didn’t meet the Russians in Prague. Carter Page didn’t have anything do with some Russian oligarch named in the dud dossier. Carter did work for the FBI; so did Comey’s “friend,” not disclosed to Congress, btw.
The DeMarxists want to dance between the raindrops of stonewalling Congress, diverting with bogus Mueller investigations, evidence in search of a crime, with the mediocracy swilling the whole batch.
They think they are invincible – Hillary, Bubba, Comey, Brennan, Clapper, McCabe, Stroczk, defunct Page, Rosenstein – when they were simply enabled by the incompetence of Sessions who naively thought these people were patriots, with a biased mediocracy in tow.
Trump has threatened to use his presidential prerogatives to bring these shocking abuses of power to the light of day. I hope he does, then Mueller can re-investigate him for obstruction of justice, with no underlying crime, with Trump’s apparent motive being using his, there they go again, presidential prerogatives.
I rate their chances 50/50.
Meanwhile Rasmussen puts Trump approval just over the power enabling 50%. I hope the Dems turn the midterms into a referendum on Trump. They won’t be careful what they wish for to be sure.
“when they were simply enabled by the incompetence of Sessions who naively thought these people were patriots, with a biased mediocracy in tow.”
Come! don’t be naïve.. Jeff Sessions was/Is a Senator and he knew that Mitch McConnell wanted to destroy TRUMP , he provided that open door for the Congressional SWAMP creatures… Jeff is a disgraceful buffoon. If Mitch was a Republican patriot Jeff would never have been confirmed.. The Lizard Leadership is Powerful and they setup Trump… Mitch McConnell’s wife must be blind, or she has zero Taste … Cocaine Mitch has dib’s on her
Next time you want to use my quotes, try having a clue what my point is first. Just asking.
Here’s help. Even establishment political animal Sessions underestimated the sliminess, seditionist cunning and immorality of the swamp. He wrongly assumed even one member of the Obama apparatchik wasn’t swimming through the slime. Sessions fits the mold of a naïve incompetent, not a DeMarxist or never Trumper slimy swamp dweller, just a largesse lapper.
Having said all that, Trump should have fired Sessions and reversed his decision to recuse himself from “Russian issues” which facilitated the continued swamp hegemony and abuse of power at the DOJ and FBI.
Of course, hindsight is 20:20 unless one is a climate “scientist,” Wynner or many Canadian voters.
Do the math…they’re done providing what they have. This then moves onto what Mike Rodgers can provide (he retired Friday)…and is now free to testify at will. That’s not a coincidence.

Speculation warning. Soon, the DeMarxists and their dirty tricks team will suffer a terrible, no good, very bad week, as the following happens, not necessarily in chronological order:
1. DOJ IG Report excoriates the FBI and Justice mandarins, particularly Comey but also including Brennan and Clapper, showing the protections of Justice were politically usurped by partisan interests, with polarized investigations, leaking, lying to Congress and the country; now smugly thinking they got away with their sedition. No they didn’t and their bait and switch between classified and unclas documents will come to an end.
2. The Rosenstein stonewalling of documents comes to an end, particularly the ever changing terms of reference, apparently immune to the limitations of time and space. That will include the terms of reference that got Mueller appointed, including the poisonous fruit used a justification (hint: no underlying crime or intelligence), the manipulation of FISA courts using the same poisonous fruit, and the realization the whole seditious bunch was in the tank for Hillary in their nefarious efforts to try to frame Trump.
3. The Trump/Cohen coup de grace when it is revealed presidential and legal privilege was jettisoned, with the excuse of some crime which turns out to be a $35,000 retainer paid to personal lawyer Cohen by Trump. Watching the knobs bleat about “no services provided,” and therefore a willful display of ignorance of what a retainer is (hint: I’m a rental manager, I get paid a retainer based on rents in a month, sometimes I do lots of work, sometimes none, ie not the same as fee for service). When this comes to light, the career of a bunch of lawyers, including the entire Mueller prosecutorial team (the fool just hired another), Rosenstein and likely others in the FBI and NY AG office, will end in disbarment and defamation.
4. Before that coup de grace, the Mueller team will suffer a fatal setback when a federal judge refuses their bleats they don’t have to reveal their legal authority for going after Manafort:
“Mueller’s team says its authorities are laid out in documents including the August 2017 scope memo – and that some powers are actually secret because they involve ongoing investigations and national security matters that cannot be publicly disclosed.”
Ellis seemed amused and not persuaded.”
He summed up the argument of the Special Counsel’s Office as, “We said this is what the investigation was about. But we’re not going to be bound by it, and we weren’t really telling the truth in that May 17 letter [appointing a special counsel].”
He referenced the common exclamation from NFL announcers, saying: “C’mon man!”
The judge also gave the government two weeks to hand over the unredacted “scope memo” or provide an explanation why not — after prosecutors were reluctant to do so, claiming it has material that doesn’t pertain to Manafort.”

I doubt Mueller will provide the documents or demonstrate satisfactory authority. Since this has arisen out of a motion by Manafort’s team to dismiss, that will be the likely result – dismissal of all charges.
And the seeds of DeMarxism self-destruction will bloom and bear fruit. The GOP establishment, sensing again their political advantage in supporting Trump, will do so again. So expect lots of perp walks, all dutifully suppressed by a 5th column masquerading as the 4th estate. How these twits think they can run the clock out betrays their fatal conceit and arrogance.
The boulder is rolling downhill and they can’t stop it.
