??? Are you serious here? Mueller's investigation is now going beyond Russian collusion; there seems to be no limit. He was appointed as special counsel to investigate Trump and Russian collusion. Nothing has been found and yet the investigation continues and now is delving into Trump's associations regardless if they have anything to do with Russia or not. Are you aware of the connection that Mueller has with the Clintons and Bammy? Rosenstein has similar connections that are nothing short of corruption. Mueller and Rosenstein are clearly going after Trump and though information and evidence continues to surface surrounding the corruption of the past administration; they do nothing. Nothing but allowing the corruption of the past administration to slide and trying desperately to find something on Trump and his cronies.
I couldn't be more serious. I haven't seen "Mueller's investigation" going beyond Russian collusion or approval by Rosenstein)at all. In fact, I'd argue that referring the Michael Cohen case to the US Attorney of the Southern District is a textbook example of Mueller NOT exceeding his authority. He referred the investigation to someone who HAS the authority to investigate it.
Relative to Russian Collusion, I've said repeatedly (here at TBR and elsewhere) that I don't expect to see any evidence of collusion between Trump (personally) and Russia. Unfortunately for Trump, if other crimes are uncovered during the investigation, he may be in trouble (and I think he is). This is why I personally ALWAYS try to avoid even the appearance of criminal activity. I'm not sure Trump and his associates can say the same. As a law and order guy, I say: tough luck: follow the law!
Relative to Mueller, he was appointed by a Trump appointee. Relative to the Cohen warrant, it was approved by the office of the US attorney appointed by Trump. It was referred to the Southern District by a Republican who was appointed by a Trump Appointee. The warrant was conducted by the FBI Director appointed by..................wait for it................Donald Trump.
If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.
