Special counsel Robert Mueller has sought phone records concerning the statement written aboard Air Force One defending a meeting between Trump campaign officials and Russians at Trump Tower last year that was set up by Donald Trump Jr., according to two people familiar with the investigation.
Mueller has also asked the White House for documents and emails connected to a May 3 press briefing where Sean Spicer said the president had confidence in James Comey as FBI director, these people said.
The request seeks to determine what White House officials – particularly Spicer – knew about the president’s plans to fire Comey in the days before it happened, according to one of the people familiar with it.The requests, first reported by the New York Times, are the latest indication that Mueller's probe of Russian meddling in the 2016 election is expanding to include what has happened in the White House since Trump took office, including questions of obstruction of justice.
Most of the requests, one of these people said, focus on what happened inside the White House after Jan. 20.
The only reason that Mueller would want these records is to make a case that Trump purposefully released a false statement in order to deflect attention away from what really happened in those meetings.
These records could prove that Donald Trump was attempting to interfere in the Russia investigations, and to hide evidence from Mueller's team concerning Junior's Trump Tower meeting with the Russian lawyer.
That's obstructionism, and that is grounds for impeachment.
Oh let us hope that Mueller can bring down this evil gang.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, I get the daily update from the WH (I have to hold my nose reading some of the crap.) But there was a photo of Porn Model in her pink ready for the 8 year old birthday party frock, with this caption: "First Last Melania Trump at the United Nations General Assembly | September 20, 2017 (Official White House Photo by Andrea Hanks)"
Yes, she is now the "First Last."
I'll admit it. While Bristol isn't remotely and most 20-30 yr olds look the same as they did in H.S, I'm pretty jealous she looks the exact same as she did at 15. Granted, she does have more physical maturity which obviously comes with age, but literally nothing has changed between pics from the Gov's ball and now. My wedding pictures from when I was 27 and my senior pictures are literally two different people.
ReplyDeleteIt's so interesting how some change a lot and some not at all. Especially since Sarah Palin changed quite a bit between 18 and 25. (Her adolescent round face went to angular)
Except for the chin implant,hair color,collagen injections,fat sucked out of her neck,stretch marks.
DeleteShe does still have that Duhhh look though.Probably matches yours.
I am keeping my fingers crossed that this will be over soon.
