Did The Special Counsel's Office Just Leak Against Trump?
2017-06-16
[Jonathan Turley] The Washington Post is reporting that Special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election has now expanded to look into whether President Donald Trump attempted to obstruct justice. What is most notable is not the investigation of obstruction of justice. Rather it is the fact of the leak that is alarming. Former FBI Director James Comey (who followed Mueller at the Bureau and has had a long relationship with Mueller) just admitted to leaking damaging information against Trump.

Comey, who was tasked with investigating leakers, became a leaker himself. Now, the Special Counsel’s office is accused by Trump’s counsel of leaking informing damaging to Trump -- an office that could be asked to consider unauthorized leaks as part of its investigation. While such leaks could come from witnesses, those witnesses appear in large part high-ranking members of the Trump administration unless they came from a briefing with members of Congress.

The leak became a torrent with the disclosure that Daniel Coats, the current director of national intelligence, Adm. Mike Rogers, the head of the National Security Agency and Richard Ledgett, Rogers’ departed deputy, all agreed to participate in interviews with Mueller’s investigators as part of the investigation.

#1  Let me ask about this. Back in July 2016, Comey said: 'no reasonable prosecutor' would bring a case against Clinton for emails...

In the face of overwhelming evidence against Clinton that Comey outlined earlier, he came up with the above statement that no reasonable prosecutor would bring a case against Clinton. Despite this not being his prerogative, he assumed the role of a Federal prosecutor rather than just provide the evidence.

Now, contrast this with the current fake special prosecutor investigation fishing expedition witch hunt where not a smidgen of evidence has been presented by anyone that would support the claim of Russian collusion by the Trump team. Now, the witch hunt has been expanded to look into obstruction of justice where no law has been broken. Where's the "no reasonable prosecutor" conclusion in this fake, B.S., no evidence investigation by Special Counsel Mullah Mueller? Pull the plug and drain the swamp bigly. DOJ needs to start pushing real investigations where real criminality has occurred. That means cleaning out the mess left from the last admin., restoring faith in our system of justice and stop the pitting of one group against another group. Halt the activities of the last crony justice system now. Stop the weaponizing of the government against its citizens and its duly elected president.
