Realist, not conformist analysis of the latest financial, business and political news

When Mueller Will Be Unleashed

There’s a lot of speculation about the Special Counsel investigating Russia interference in the US electoral process in 2016 and subsequently. While it is clear that Russian interference took place, less clear is any involvement by American citizens.

Robert Mueller, who might have been lifted out of a comic book, such is his reputation for probity and diligence, has run into criminal activity by US citizens, although these alleged crimes mostly have little to do with his mission. But it’s getting close enough to the Trump administration to make Trump agitated.

If you look for a definition of ‘wide boy’ in my dictionary, there is no text–just a photograph of Donald J. Trump. His escapades during his climb to the status of self-proclaimed king of New York real estate, his adventures in the world of casinos, his love affairs and philandering, make it clear that were he British he would have been portrayed by Bob Hoskins, an actor I sorely miss, straight from the set of ‘Unleashed,’ where he more or less defined modern thuggery and perhaps served unintentionally as a role model for the current U.S. president.

It is increasingly obvious that Trump is worried sick that, regardless of any crimes committed in furtherance of Russian mischief, Robert Mueller is finding enough evidence of criminal activity during Trump’s long career to endanger Trump’s presidency.

Hence all the attempts to fire and discredit Mueller by Donald Trump. Trump may be able (just) to get away with axing Mueller. But probably not. So what happens next?

The obvious strategy has not been elaborated on by the media, so I’ll just lay it out here. The odds are quite good that the Democrats will gain control of the House of Representatives in November. As they are the body responsible for recommending articles of impeachment with regard to the president, it makes no sense at all for Mueller to report findings or issue strategic indictments (of  any of the Trumps, Jared Kushner, Jeff Sessions, et al) before the new House is sworn in in January.  Mueller is not interested in reporting on criminal activity–he wants results from this investigation, people in jail. So he probably won’t.

This doesn’t mean that he won’t indict minor players to show he’s still on the job. But it does mean that all three rings of this circus are likely to play for the rest of the year.

Mueller is running a Star Chamber, investigating the Russians, the dossier subsidized by Trump’s opponents, Trump’s family and friends and now Trump’s business organization. He and his team are Democrat holdovers and Republican Nevertrumpers. Their goal is to neutralize Trump, to run out the clock on policy until the focus is the next election, and to illegally leak scandal to the Washington Post and New York Times, who will take turns telling us what the evening’s national news is, overriding whatever Trump would like it to be. There have been no “attempts to fire” Mueller. A Special Prosecutor can only… Read more »

Most corrupt and evil?

At the end of the 16th century and beginning of the 17th century, Bathory tortured and killed up to 650 girls and young women at her castle in Cachtice, modern Slovakia.

I am unable to answer the question, “Mueller: Friend or foe?” least of all based on his resumé or salary versus what you think he can earn.

Mueller is demonstrably more interested in the lifetime sinecures, tenure, and impunity of FBI employees than the truth or having a single, nonpartisan standard of culpability. (AG Sessions I am not certain about.) Swamp creatures understand the threat to their comfortable careers posed by a break-the-mold interloper from outside the culture, such as Trump, and develop “insurance policies” and permanent investigations to protect themselves against what he might do. That’s my definition.

Obama was and is a useless disgusting liar, a coward, and a hater. His actions in condoning the surveillance of the Trump campaign amount to sedition, and he should be prosecuted for that.

I can however see why you admire him for that.

How quickly the veneer peels to reveal the sneer. Now that is poetry.

As ever the Western world-around the enemy of everything good and decent–the scum of socialism. Wreckers and destroyers all. 150 million dead so far and it still isn’t enough for them.

“…were he British he would have been portrayed by Bob Hoskins, an actor I sorely miss, straight from the set of ‘Unleashed,’ where he more or less defined modern thuggery and perhaps served unintentionally as a role model for the current U.S. president.” Are you taking the piss?

Ecks is not a National Socialist. You on the other hand are a socialist. And the crime of people like Pol Pot grow directly out of that socialism.

So when you engage in typically Gulag-related behaviour it seems reasonable to assume the Gulag is not far behind.

Pol Pot was a Communist – a type of Socialist. But he was not a Khmer Nationalist. He was a Communist and that is a mutually exclusive category. You don’t know the difference. If you think there is a difference explain what it is. And of course in some ways you are in the same bag. In other ways maybe you are not. But when you make Gulag-type sounds it is reasonable to assume you have Gulag-type solutions in mind. Ecks has been around for a long time.

I said degrees of evil.

Rand Paul –like his Father –is far from perfect. However the fact that he does not reek of quite the same appalling arrogance and corruption of the other 99.9% of polipigs is not a pass into Heaven. The semi-exception serves to prove the rule by contrast.

Interesting that you had to go right to find someone in politics with an even halfway chance of being a candidate for reasonable decency.

@Tom Fuller “10. Charging the American taxpayer more than $90 million for his golfing hobby” Unlike Obama, Bush, Clinton….? Unlike Obama, Bush, Clinton…. Trump takes a nominal [iirc] $1 salary.

The only “facts” are cockrot for your liar pals at Snotpes. Trump plays more golf. The monster!! Which is mostly security costs and nutters like you cause the ever-spiralling cost of those. Having been threatened by every cunt in the US Trump should not scrimp on security. Which he partly employs his own men for anyway. How do rents from HIS properties involve “govt usage” whatever that means. CA have done exactly what the Piss-soaked Pipecleaner Man, his burley “wife” and his corrupt crew did before them. They may have done it better and bigger. So what? The Federal fucks/Faceboot… Read more »

I didn’t say anywhere that Trump played less golf. Other commenters did– so I suggest you pursue that matter with those who said it.

I said Trump’s golfing was more acceptable as he actually cares about and is trying to help his nation as opposed to the Pipecleanerman who showed himself and his clan a really good time on the taxpayers dollar while attempting every trick he could to piss on decent hardworking Americans of all types.

Trump collecting rents – strawman

Cambridge Analytic [sic] – it was a quote, journalists are not good with figures. Obama in 2008 & 2012 used Facebook api without consent and downloaded every USA users’ profiles inc emails and friends. Dems are still using this Database

Thanks for that.

You vehemently revealed you:
– have a closed mind, do not tolerate questioning or debate and prefer your “safe space” to reality and facts;
– will resort to ad-hom insults when shown to be wrong

Candidly, I suggest you open your mind or ask Mr Tim to forbid comments on your delusional ramblings.

As per usual, typical left techniques from Tom:

– diverts and makes more ad-hom accusations and insults

Mr Ecks, as you pointed out earlier, TF is embarrassing himself.

It would be amusing to observe how he fared on the Arrse Question Time thread.
