GOP Preparing To Shut Down All Investigations Allow Trump To Fire Mueller Team.

[TheMastersNemesis]

GOP openly plotting to take over total control to hell with democracy and rule of law. They are in league with Russians.

1. I believe you, but have you got a link?

Thanks.

3. Watching Chris Hayes On MSNBC. Attacks On Mueller Escalating.

Various GOPPERS featured calling investigation a witch hunt. Hannity going ballistic and attacking the FBI on his who as a kind of new Gestapp or something similar. More and more GOPPERS saying investigation tainted. Want Hillary investigated say she was spared by Comey.

Absolutely nuts.

[VOX]

17. They now hate the FBI, but Trump's listening to Erik Prince's pitch for a private spy bureau.

In other words, a secret police -- which is an absolute hallmark of fascism.

It is absolutely nuts. Completely insane. We're in Orwell territory now.

14. The meme being built is that the Mueller investigation is partisan.

It isn't one particular story, or one particular link. It's a mood that is starting to take shape, molded by Republicans and their lackeys in the media like Sean Hannity.

What we are seeing is a framework of accusations being constructed that Mueller's team is made up entirely of partisan Democrats and vengeful Clinton supporters who aren’t looking for evidence of collusion but rather fishing for process crimes specifically to build a case for impeachment.

They’re constructing this foundation as justification to shut it down. And when someone does shut it down (it won’t be Trump. He'll plead ignorant) the argument sold to America will be that the investigation went of the rails and turned into a witch hunt seeking not justice, but only to punish Trump for the crime of beating Hillary Clinton (who, they wish to remind us, got away with all manner of corruption and criminal behavior).

That’s what’s going on here and we’re going to see more of this.

16. Thanks so much for the details, as grim as they are.

You write very well, by the way. Your capsule analysis is excellent!

[EL34x4]

25. Thanks for the compliment!

I try to put some thought into constructing my posts, writing in a style that I like to read. I don't always succeed.

2. Well, I'm not so sure I believe this story, so yeah, how about a link? n/t

4. I Am Currently Watching Chris Hayes On This Matter Live Right Now.

'Plot To Stop Mueller".

5. Thanks! Now I believe you.

8. This Undercurrent Has Been Going On For Months As I Have Followed It.

It is only now escalating rapidly. I do believe that the GOP will be involved with scuttling this investigation. After what happened to Franken I see them emboldened because they feel they have the Democrats where they want them. Even though what I just said seems irrelevant it really is connected in their psyche in some strange way.

No question that Franken made some bad decisions and missteps in the past. The 1st Franken accuser is at least a close acquaintance of Donald Trump Jr. Someone posted some tweets on Du earlier today. Plus Stone was involved in her coming out. It appears to have all started by RW operatives. We simply do not know the validity of other accusers.

Now that the Democrats were stampeded into pushing Franken out the GOP is accusing them of puritanically over reacting and are in a sense defending Franken. They are wedging the Democrats claiming that the Democrat leadership railroaded Franken unjustly. Meanwhile they would have dug up more and more women against Franken To panic the Democrats. It is all a game.

So I am sure the the GOP is convinced that they can shut down the investigations, lock out the Democrats on anything of value, and virtually create their own little totalitarian fiefdom.

21. Yep. The hysteria on Fox is insane (not to mention creepy and unpatriotic).

[TheMastersNemesis]

22. More Like Treasonness Pigs. Tool Of The GOP And Russians. Colluding.

[pangaia]

28. I've been waiting for this for .. weeks? More....

[bdamomma]

6. The repigs

might as well shoot them in the foot if they fire Mueller, the shit will hit the fan. You don't mess with these Intelligence agencies.

[maxrandb]

11. I'm still waiting for the Retrumplicans to suffer any consequences

For their evil and vile actions.

Here's a picture of what happened to me while waiting

💀

7. This is so scary. If Mueller gets fired, we're screwed.

[milestogo]

9. Mueller is the head of the investigation but firing him would not stop the investigation.

[TheMastersNemesis]

10. If And When Mueller Gets So Close The GOP Is Prepared To Openly Obstruct.

They now are beginning to believe that no one will be able to stop them. I my take is if their are protests they might be stopped in their tracks. Not saying such a thing will happen, but it looks like it could.

[bdamomma]

13. I heard the same exact

comment. Mueller is not dumb, he probably has everything in place if it remotely happens.

[bluestarone]

12. let the states investigation

begin and i bet Mueller will be part of that

[ananda]

15. Why it won't work.

State and local investigations and prosecutions.

[bluestarone]

18. who are the repubs

who are the repubs wanting to shut investigation down?

[anneboleyn]

20. Everyone on Fox. Its very blatant.

[VOX]

24. Rupert Murdoch, specifically. That Aussie asshole had his Wall Street Journal do an op-ed...

Calling on Mueller to stop the investigation. The goddamned Wall Street Journal, for christ's sake -- always a Republican rag, but...

[anneboleyn]

19. Fox News has been running this blatant political bias BS as breaking news. YES THE REPUBS

Are trying to fire Mueller. This is very predictable. Of course they are trying to shut this down. They are hysterical on Fox claiming that Mueller and his team (and of course Comey) are all Hillary/Obama supporters and biased. It’s insane.

[Thekaspervote]

23. Let's give mueller more credit than if he's fired we're screwed

NO!! This guy has been playing a expert game of chess while dodart and ilk are losing at tiddlywinks. Do you really believe that a man of his metal and moral fortitude would take on such a case thinking "oh yeah if they fire me all my work and this investigation is over... really?? THINK AGAIN! He knows that they want him gone, at any cost. He will know if or when they will try and make their move then blow thru it releasing all sealed indictments..... and his work will go to either schneiderman in NY local NY AGs.
Please, remember the msm, including MSNBC is gonna play this... it's called tune in, ratings, money!

27. A voice of reason in a sea of hysteria. Thank you.
