President Donald Trump’s legal team says it’s fed up with the Justice Department and FBI “witch hunt” into whether his campaign colluded with the Russian government.
One of Trump’s lawyers said the president’s legal team wants a second special counsel ― one to investigate the investigators ― after a Fox News report unearthed what the lawyer called a conflict of interest in the Department of Justice.
Fox News reported late Monday that Nellie H. Ohr, the wife of a senior Justice Department official who was demoted last week for not being forthcoming about meetings with Fusion GPS, the firm behind the anti-Trump dossier, worked for Fusion for a part of last year. The dossier reportedly contains salacious but unverified allegations against Trump.
″The Department of Justice and FBI cannot ignore the multiple problems that have been created by these obvious conflicts of interests,” Jay Sekulow, one of Trump’s lawyers, told Axios on Monday night after the Fox report. “These new revelations require the appointment of a special counsel to investigate.”
Trump has repeatedly complained Mueller’s probe into Russia and Trump’s campaign is a “witch hunt” and reportedly has considered firing the special counsel.
Nevertheless, the president’s legal team said they trust Mueller and want to “get to the finish line” with him. They said they plan to fully cooperate with Mueller’s investigation, confident that Trump will be cleared of wrongdoing.
Yeah this has nothing to do with undermining the Mueller investigation just like Trump's tweet this morning had nothing to do with suggesting that Kirsten Gillibrand was willing to trade sexual favors for campaign contributions.
Can you say "deflection?" I knew that you could.
OT?

"In 2002, Chechen terrorists took 800 people hostage in Moscow Theater>'Russian special forces devised a peculiar way to subdue them. The tactical team gassed the theater with two types of fentanyl, an opioid known for its extreme strength. One version was 2,000 to 5,000 times as potent as heroin.
The gas killed 125 of the 800 hostages during the siege."
"These fentanyls caused synthetic opioids to account for one-third of all drug-related deaths in 2016, according to the National Center for Health Statistics. That’s a 700 percent increase from five years ago for manufactured opioids."
Remember this guy?

Poor English really takes away from your feeble attempt to defend the ignoramus in the WH, but then again you are at first grade level literacy like him!
"Bought" time? Yeah, buying himself some time is exactly what Trump is doing here....
ReplyDeletewitch hunt? is trump trying to curse us? why is he bothering? he's been a curse on everyone his whole life. never have i seen someone so worthless. let them look for problems with the russian investigation-they will only find more dirt. putting it off only makes more time before jail.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sneaky PIG Trump is, isn't he!
ReplyDeleteTrumps private attorneys do not get to decide whether a special counsel is appointed, that is the responsibility of the DOJ.
ReplyDeleteThese bozos are really twisting themselves into pretzels to come up with a defense for denture Don.so far the only people that are buying it are ignorant trump supporters,like the resident troll.
Sure hope they only take cash,because trump doesn't pay his bills,then again his supporters are footing the bill with donations to his fake 2020 campaign
