Mueller Expands The Witch Hunt
Time to put up or shut up -- and shut down.
July 6, 2018
Joseph Klein
Special Counsel Robert Mueller is planning to expand his witch hunt. According to a Bloomberg News report, he is “tapping additional Justice Department resources for help with new legal battles as his year-old investigation of Russian interference with the 2016 election continues to expand.†He already has 17 prosecutors on his staff, many of whom have clear anti-Trump biases. From the investigation’s start in May 2017 through March of this year, Mr. Mueller’s own office has spent $7.7 million, on top of the $9 million spent by permanent Department of Justice units involved in the investigation. Mr. Mueller evidently wants to absorb some of the career prosecutors from the offices of U.S. attorneys and from Justice Department headquarters into his own operation or to outsource some of his work to them. Either way, instead of finishing his investigation “the hell up because this country is being torn apart,†as Republican Representative Trey Gowdy of South Carolina told Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein during a June 28 hearing, Mr. Mueller is busy growing his empire. The Justice Department has “reportedly budgeted $10 million for Mueller’s team to spend in the next fiscal year, which begins in October,†Time Magazine reported.
The Mueller probe is over a year old. The Special Counsel's office has shown nothing to the taxpayers funding its operation that it has made any real progress in fulfilling its original mandate to uncover evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia to interfere with the 2016 presidential election. The most significant indictment to date, the one against former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, is a ridiculous sideshow involving accusations that have nothing to do with the Trump campaign. While Judge T.S. Ellis III, of the Eastern District of Virginia, denied Mr. Manafort’s motion to dismiss an indictment against him on the grounds that Special Counsel Mueller had exceeded his authority, the judge questioned the objectivity of the whole Mueller enterprise. Judge Ellis expressed concern about “the danger unleashed when political disagreements are transformed into partisan prosecutions." The judge further warned, “To provide a special counsel with a large budget and to tell him or her to find crimes allows a special counsel to pursue his or her targets without the usual time and budget constraints facing ordinary prosecutors, encouraging substantial elements of the public to conclude that the special counsel is being deployed as a political weapon.â€

Per usual Stupid Bobby is now going after people as a vendetta which will end up costing the taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars in victims settlements.

Mueller views his current temporary assignment as a 'career position'. He is NEVER going to end it voluntarily. To Mueller, this is his retirement nest-egg. He is going to keep it going for as long as he can. And who can blame him. With a corrupt DOJ, and an impotent Congress, he can do any damn thing he want to. Or, he can do nothing at all and get paid a high six figure salary.
There is no reason in Mueller's world for him to voluntarily bring this to an end. The only way it is going to end is for Congress to do something, which we all know will never happen, or for Trump to fire Sessions. With Sessions gone, Rosenstein will be escorted out of the building by security, and Mueller will have no one to legitimize his nonsense.

Does anyone remember this. It is just one of dozens of empty threats Congress has made to the corrupt FBI/DOJ.
They talk a good game. But in the end, they always do nothing. It is nothing meaningless words, meaningless threats.
Always. (and they wonder why people are laughing at them, especially when they make a threat)

Yup. There's no cost to him, and eventually he can outspend all defendants. The Democrats and their media arm of the Party will trumpet each conviction as the smoke pouring out of the corrupt Trump fire.

Mueller knows he can't get Trump directly. Create enough fires around him however, and the complicit media will create the fiction of a corrupt Presidency. Mueller thinks we're all too stupid to see what he's doing.

Expanding? I still remember back in April, when it was speculated it might be "Rudy to the rescue" after Giuliani predicted this thing could be over in 2 weeks:
“I’ve had a long relationship with Bob Mueller. I have great respect for him. He’s done a good job. I don’t know yet what’s outstanding. But I don’t think it’s going to take more than a week or two to get a resolution. They’re almost there.â€
