CONFESSIONS OF A CONGRESSIONAL STAFFER: “After Tariff Announcement Mueller Ordered To Escalate Trump Investigation”
Posted on March 4, 2018 by DCWhispers

The following are the insights and opinions of a former senior congressional staffer who is now enjoying what he calls the “…happy uncertainty of a self-imposed semi-retirement.” He spent nearly eleven years working on Capitol Hill, arriving there shortly before Barack Obama became president, and then leaving shortly after Donald Trump succeeded him. His extended family’s ties to prior administrations go back decades – at the highest levels. Now approaching middle-age, (ancient by D.C. staffer standards) and despite all that time in the belly of the “D.C. beast” he still manages to look younger than his years. He’s quick to laugh, slow to anger, and enjoys the occasional (and most often inappropriate) joke while also being an occasional (and always highly valued) D.C. Whispers’ source. His contact list is an impressive whos-who of D.C. power players (a benefit of his political pedigree of which he readily admits he had nothing to do with) including both active and retired politicians, staffers, and (too many) lobbyists. (He feels most lobbyists are decent people working in what he calls an epically f*cked up system.) He has attended two inauguration balls, four Congressional retreats, (to which he says members of Congress drink – a lot) and seven State of the Union addresses.

I don't believe anyone who says Mueller is "doing...".  I will believe Mueller himself and not rumors.

So basically he is in no position to know anything at all about what's really going on.

Fake news.

“Mueller has his orders. He will proceed accordingly.”


What a joke.  The Special Counsel isn’t directed beyond given the investigation purview at the outset.  He brings information to the AG (or DAG in this case) and gets approval, based on his investigation, whether he can proceed into other areas or people.  They’re either purposely engaging in hyperbole or they don’t know what they’re talking about.
