Mueller has them by the balls and he has insider information too because ....

.... how many has he busted at the airport as they are coming into the country?

George Popadopoulos was busted @ the airport, so was George Nader too,
and I think Mueller got somebody else @ the airport too.

Thomas L. Friedman of the NY Times on Morning Joe Today .... rough quotes

The biggest threat to democracy is sitting in the oval office.

If you are not scared right now you are not paying attention.

We have an upcoming Constitutional crisis with Trump and what the Mueller investigation
will show to the American people.

***************

Please call your senators and congress critters today and tell them that you want
a good American, Bob Mueller, protected. Ask two other people to do the same.

W. Post, Former Fox host: 'There is indeed a witch hunt and it's led by Fox against Robert Mueller

https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/why-i-left-fox-news/2018/03/30/d1224648-32bb-11e8-8bdd-cdb33a5eef83_story.html?utm_term=.b9eb80692015


I was the one person on the Fox payroll who, trained in Russian studies and the Russian language, had been face to face with Russian intelligence officers in the Kremlin and in far-flung provinces. I have traveled widely in and written extensively about the region. Yet I could only rarely and briefly comment on the paramount security question of our time: whether Putin and his security services ensnared the man who would become our president. Trump’s behavior patterns and evident weaknesses (financial entanglements, lack of self-control and sense of sexual entitlement) would have made him an ideal blackmail target — and the Russian security apparatus plays a long game.

As indictments piled up, though, I could not even discuss the mechanics of how the Russians work on either Fox News or Fox Business. [...]

All Americans, whatever their politics, should want to know, with certainty, whether a hostile power has our president and those close to him in thrall. This isn’t about party but about our security at the most profound level. Every so often, I could work in a comment on the air, but even the best-disposed hosts were wary of transgressing the party line.

Fox never tried to put words in my mouth, nor was I told explicitly that I was taboo on Trump-Putin matters. I simply was no longer called on for topics central to my expertise. I was relegated to Groundhog Day analysis of North Korea and the Middle East, or to Russia-related news that didn’t touch the administration. Listening to political hacks with no knowledge of things Russian tell the vast Fox audience that the special counsel’s investigation was a “witch hunt,” while I could not respond, became too much to bear. There is indeed a witch hunt, and it’s led by Fox against Robert Mueller.

Please help

Call your senators and congresspersons and tell them that you expect a good American called Bob Mueller to be
protected. Please ask 2 friends to do the same.

We are in a war w/Russia and Putin has a Russian agent/asset in the White House.

thank you

Meet Trump's new Press Assistant (not from the onion)



Washington (CNN)The White House press office is getting a bit more Sunshine these days -- former Disney Channel star Caroline Sunshine, that is. She's joining the team as a press assistant.

Sunshine, 22, is known for her role alongside Zendaya as Tinka Hessenheffer in "Shake It Up," a Disney Channel show about teen dancers that ran from 2010 to 2013. She was also in the 2010 film "Marmaduke," among other roles.
