patrick fitzgerald - james comey - robert mueller

How the fuck are we expecting anything from mueller on Wednesday? The package is already tied up in a pretty bow. ... thanks to AG bar ... aka ag barf

As a special counsel, Mr. Fitzgerald was selected to lead the investigation of leaks in the Valerie Plame matter and tried the case of United States v. Lewis “Scooter” Libby. During his tenure, the U.S. Attorney’s Office prosecuted significant fraud, civil rights, organized crime, narcotics and national security cases. Mr. Fitzgerald also was involved in a number of nationwide initiatives, including the President’s Corporate Fraud Task Force and the Attorney General’s Advisory Committee.

Syndicated columnist Robert Novak identified Valerie Plame as a CIA operative in a column published in July 2003 — not long after Plame's husband, former ambassador Joseph Wilson, criticized the White House for exaggerating evidence in its push to justify going to war against Iraq. Novak said two unnamed administration sources had identified Plame to him.

That revelation sparked a two-year-long investigation by Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald into who disclosed the covert agent's identity. In October 2005, Fitzgerald indicted I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, then-chief of staff for Vice President Dick Cheney, on charges of obstruction of justice, false statement and perjury in the CIA leak case. Libby resigned from his post and pleaded not guilty to the five counts against him. But a jury found Libby guilty on four of the five counts, convicting him of obstruction, perjury and lying to the FBI. Libby was sentenced to 30 months in prison and fined $250,000.

Fitsmas was a fucking joke
Comey torpedoed Hillary
and Mueller won't ever give anything up

Yes, they work for US, the people who pay their goddamn salaries
How much did we pay for the Mueller Report? and he won't give us anything other than the pablum he spewed out?

I am fucking sick and tired of these people who are supposed to be serving the American People but who only serve their corporate and political masters.

To hell with all of them. Don't expect anything on Wednesday and you won't be disappointed.

to pay for it.

But I wonder how many people noticed that it seems like everyone who cooperated suffered consequences. Like Cohen.

The criminals still walk free. Odd, how that turned out. . .
