Dems, Fearing Russia Collusion Investigation Will Come Up Empty, Now Attacking Robert Mueller

[txradioguy]

Democrats, increasingly worried that Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into whether the Donald Trump campaign colluded with Russian officials to influence the outcome of the 2016 presidential election will reveal nothing, have started doing something they've long criticized President Trump for: lashing out at Mueller over his "limited" probe.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) kicked off a torrent of criticism on Sunday, according to the Washington Examiner, questioning whether "Mueller has adequately investigated President Trump’s financial dealings with a German bank," and suggesting that Mueller's investigation could be so woefully incomplete that the House has no choice but to resume investigating the president themselves.

“If the special counsel hasn’t subpoenaed Deutsche Bank, he can’t be doing much of a money laundering investigation,” Schiff said. “So that’s what concerns me, that that red line has been enforced, whether by the deputy attorney general or by some other party at the Justice Department. But that leaves the country exposed.”

Schiff is referring to an alleged incident that occured late last year, reported in The New York Times. The Times reported that President Trump was ready to fire Mueller, until he was reassured that the Special Counsel had not, in fact, subpoenaed the Trump Corporation's financial records from Deutch Bank.

The report was never substantiated and relied on anonymous sources within the Justice Department, but Schiff seems to believe the report is proof that Mueller caved to the president's demands, rendering his entire investigation incomplete.

 
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) is already doing the work Schiff feels Mueller failed to do, and has sent an inquiry about Trump's finances to Deutch Bank.

It's clear Democrats, who were counting on Robert Mueller to provide the ammunition they'd need to impeach the President for "colluding" with the Russian government, are concerned the Mueller probe may not be as conclusive as once believed.

Schiff and co. are trying to keep this witch hunt going by creating an ever expanding universe of things to investigate.

Mueller had no authority to investigate Trump's finances. He was limited to election collusion and anything arising.

This is part of the Dems new PR campaign to go fishing in other waters off limits to Mueller.

They won't find anything but they'll sure dirty up the President for the 2020 election.  The Dems strategy is to keep the investigations going through the next election cycle.

Well, they said they would do this.

My understanding is that Rosenstein never set parameters to the investigation; the scope of the investigation is pretty wide open. 

The new AG needs to shut this down and my hunch is that he will.

From what I have read, the impetus has to be election collustion. If anything else is found, it's fair game. That's how Mueller has got what he has.

Starting with something else is off limits, unless of course there is something in one of those redacted memos.

Whatever the parameters, you are right that this needs shut down.
