| 2017-12-05 |
| [ZeroHedge] Days after it emerged that former Special Counsel investigator Peter Strzok was fired from Robert Mueller's Trump-Russia probe in August for sending anti-Trump text messages to his mistress while the two were working together on the Clinton email investigation, Sara Carter of Circa told a Fox News panel that there are more anti-Trump messages sent by Mueller's team floating around. Tangentially, it has been widely reported that Mueller's special counsel is stacked with investigators who have donated to Obama, Clinton or other Democrat causes. As Jessica McBride reported in Heavy: Andrew Weissmann: Weissmann is a Barack Obama and Democratic campaign donor, according to federal records. "Weissmann, who led the Enron investigation, previously gave $2,300 to Obama’s first presidential campaign in 2008 and $2,000 to the Democratic National Committee in 2006 Jeannie Rhee: donated $5,400 to Hillary Clinton in 2015 and 2016, according to FEC records. The records show she gave $2,500 each to Obama for America and Obama Victory Fund 2012 in 2011 Andrew Goldstein: According to Fox News, "Goldstein contributed a combined $3,300 to Obama’s campaigns in 2008 and 2012" Greg Andres: FEC records show that Andres has donated at least $2,700 to Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) James Quarles: Donated thousands of dollars to the campaigns of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. He has also donated money recently to other Democrats, including Friends of Chuck Schumer and two other Democrats. He has a lengthy donation history dating back years. He did donate to two Republicans over the years, however. Elizabeth Prelogar: A former law clerk to Justics Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Elena Kagen, gave $250 to Hillary Clinton in 2016, according to FEC records. She also gave $500 total to Obama for America and the Obama Victory Fund 2012. Brandon Van Grack: gave small amounts to ActBlue, an effort to raise money for Democrats, and to a Democratic candidate for Congress in 2012. In 2008, he gave about $286 to Barack Obama. Rush Atkinson: donated $200 to Clinton’s campaign in 2016. Kyle Freeny: In 2012, Freeny gave $300 to Obama. In 2008, Freeny also gave $250 to Obama, FEC records show. |

| #10 There is an old, old saying which I think says it all about Trump's tactics with the Mueller probe: Give a man enough rope and he will hang himself. |

| #7 Do you think Federal employees are dumb enough to go on strike en masse again? Those in the DC swamp are doing just that, but not with the 'strike' meaning you are using. |

| #5 Reagan fired every air traffic controller ...who were a) on strike, b) whose union was fined $1 million a day by Federal judges because they were in violation of Federal law that said they cannot strike. By that time they had zero union protection because they had no contract, so it was a massively different situation than we have now. Do you think Federal employees are dumb enough to go on strike en masse again? |

| #3 Viewing things from the outside, so far there is little observable swamp-draining at DOJ. It appears to be mostly "happy talk." To quote Mickey Kaus from 15 years ago - 'Do you know how difficult it is to file a Federal employee?' |
