I remember Bill Mitchell arguing that the Mueller appointment was a good thing, and later arguing Mueller was secretly working to indict Hillary. And then the Flynn/Manafort indictments happened and he completely changed his tune.

PAGING PHOENIX DARK TO THE THREAD

https://twitter.com/iantothemax/status/1070461918123413505

BTW shout outs to Empty Wheel for making me look like a genius to my parents, who literally watch hours of MSNBC every day (including Sundays btw). I told them there won't be a report because Mueller never said there will be one: the only way he has spoken is via indictments. Trump's bullshit about a counter report really shows how unprepared his team is. They want Mueller to release a report, which is why Rudy said he would (and the media ran with the narrative). It's easier to "respond" to a report than it is to respond to, you know, court filings and indictments.

BTW this is why the Q stuff has a sinister undertone to me. At some point Trump is probably going to move from simply tweeting to literally demanding his enemies be locked up. What happens when Jr or Kushner get indicted for instance. Is Trump going to simply say "oh well they're innocent so let's let the justice system do its thing." Of course not. He's going to go apeshit and blatantly obstruct justice. He might even attempt to have Mueller arrested. Or Hillary.

I wouldn’t be surprised for him to try this, but it’s one of those things that he won’t be able to get to go through though. Too many people know it’s against the law, the judges would never allow a grand jury, and the fbi can’t really do much without one. They can investigate, I guess, but without a grand jury there’s no indictment.

Prosecutors’ Narrative Is Clear: Trump Defrauded Voters. But What Does It Mean?

The latest revelations by prosecutors investigating President Trump and his team draw a portrait of a candidate who personally directed an illegal scheme to manipulate the 2016 election

Quote

The prosecutors made clear in a sentencing memo filed on Friday that they viewed efforts by Mr. Trump’s former personal lawyer, Michael D. Cohen, to squelch the stories as nothing less than a perversion of a democratic election — and by extension they effectively accused the president of defrauding voters, questioning the legitimacy of his victory.

Quote

“While many Americans who desired a particular outcome to the election knocked on doors, toiled at phone banks or found any number of other legal ways to make their voices heard, Cohen sought to influence the election from the shadows,” the prosecutors wrote.

“He did so by orchestrating secret and illegal payments to silence two women who otherwise would have made public their alleged extramarital affairs with Individual-1,” they continued. “In the process, Cohen deceived the voting public by hiding alleged facts that he believed would have had a substantial effect on the election.”

With the way things were going in 2016 Trump would've gotten more votes if it was known that he had affairs with porn stars. It wouldn't have had any substantial effect to the outcome of the election.
That would've been more legal than most of the things he was suspected of doing before, after and during the campaign.

Hell, he told the world he would shoot someone in the street to show he wouldn't lose any voters. The story would've been overshadowed by I don't know, having a baby removed from a campaign rally oh wait that actually happened hmm....

Did the prosecutors watch the same campaign we did?

Let's not forget that during the primaries he said McCain was not a war hero because he got captured and made a racist attack against a judge. And then as the nominee attacked a Gold Star family.

While Russian intervention clearly helped him win, I still think we wouldn't be having this conversation or be dealing with this presidency if Hillary Clinton had run a competent campaign.

It wasn't the Russians and it wasn't even Clinton (although her campaign played a big role in it, especially allowing Trump to bulldozer through the Republican party because he would be an easy opponent).
In the end it was the media that got Trump elected and once they had figured out their mistake they tried to undo what they had done but by then it was too late.

And nothing Morning Joe, SNL or Steven Colbert says or does can cover up the fact that he went on their shows multiple tiimes and be allowed to spread his message and/or act like good ol' innocent Donald in on the joke like everyone else.
Those Morning Joe segments were really something. "Let's call Donald to see what crazy antics he's up to today!" But really, who can blame them. Trump gave access to his campaign, you could get him to give an opinion on any story of the day plus people would tune in to watch the cricus. Not to mention CNN covered the insanity of his campaign 24/7. It was actually Fox who didn't really like Trump when he started out because they thought he wasn't a real conservative.

Fox News strangely enough wasn't Trump's propaganda channel until he was elected.

The Russian campaign would've never worked without wall to wall coverage of Wikileaks' revelations on CNN/MSNBC etc. . The Facebook ad buys of the Russians were just a drop in the bucket.

Anyhow, just in. Ayers is out. He doesn't want to replace Kelly so that has Trump scrambling to look for a replacement despite having already announced Kelly's departure.
He's now floating around about 4 names. Axios has figured out the first: Mark Meadows.

Quote

Trump has asked confidants what they think about the idea of installing Rep. Mark Meadows, the chairman of the ultra-conservative House Freedom Caucus, as John Kelly's permanent replacement, according to these three sources. Trump has also mentioned three other candidates besides Meadows, according to a source with direct knowledge. I don't yet have their names.

Quote

An author and conspiracy theorist who says he’s being threatened with indictment by special counsel Robert Mueller’s team in the Trump-Russia probe filed a federal lawsuit Sunday night accusing Mueller of constitutional violations and leaking grand jury secrets.

Jerome Corsi’s new suit against Mueller also accuses the special prosecutor of trying to badger Corsi into giving false testimony that he served as a conduit between Wikileaks found Julian Assange and Roger Stone, a longtime adviser to then-candidate Donald Trump.

“Defendant Mueller and his prosecutorial staff have demanded that Plaintiff Corsi falsely testify that he acted as a liaison between Roger Stone and WikiLeaks leader Julian Assange concerning the public release of emails downloaded from the DNC’s servers,” the complaint says.

Corsi is demanding $100 million in actual damages and $250 million in punitive damages for injury to his reputation.

Quote

“Defendants Mueller, DOJ, NSA, CIA, and FBI have engaged in ongoing illegal, unconstitutional surveillance on Plaintiff Corsi, in violation of the Fourth Amendment and the USA FREEDOM Act as well targeted ‘PRISM’ collection under Section 702 of the Foreign Sovereignties Immunity Act at the direction of Defendant Mueller,” the suit says, with the latter reference apparently intending to invoke a different statute, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

Quote

Corsi’s suit also levels harsh invective at the special counsel’s team, at one point referring to “Defendant Mueller and his leftist and Democrat partisan prosecutorial and ethically and legally conflicted staff.”
