Mueller says Trump not under criminal investigation
- Thread starter Revmitchell

The liberal heads may now explode
If he really said that, I believe he lied. " Investigators" are allowed to do that, aren't they?
There are three levels in a criminal investigation:
(1) Target
(2) Subject
(3) Witness
So Trump is currently a subject in a criminal investigation, but not a target. Those categories can change according to what they discover, everything from “target” to ‘not under investigation’ anymore.
I have to admit I really dont understand the unprecedented level of hatred that libbies have toward Trump. Indont know where it comes from.
Losing to him.
They felt much the same about Georg Bush...for the same reason.
Believed in their souls(if the left has any) that they had it in the bag.
And then lost.

well then, since that was the stated purpose for the investigation,it should be shut down.
Yes and no. He stated it to Trumps legal team. In that instance he is most likely not allowed to lie. That gets into a legal gray area.
He is the first real threat to their agenda.
He opposes globalism and he will appoint strict constructionist justices.
That's simply not correct.

TO INVESTIGATE RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE WITH THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION AND RELATED MATTERS

So Mueller is well within his wide mandate.
The stated goal at appointment of S.C. was to investigate Trump campaign ties to Russian collusion. It is obvious that was the case because Mueller has done nothing but hound Trump officials and associates.
Who has "stated" that?
Simply put, I have posted both a link to the Special Counsel authorization as well as the text of the authorization order here. That is what counts, not what someone has "stated."
When you were in law enforcement conducting an investigation of persons who were suspected of criminal activity, do you think they and their supporters felt hounded?
Mueller has a number of guilty pleas, one person sentenced (the son-in-law of a Russian oligarch who was referenced in the Steele memos), and a large number of indictments. Sounds like he is finding a lot of wrongdoing within the mandate given by the order from Rosenstein.
And, since no one else has mentioned it, the title of this thread is false. Mueller has stated that President Trump is a subject in a criminal investigation, although not a target.
Mueller has been running wild. Let’s recall that a raid on Manafort’s house happened in the middle of the night, when Manafort’s wife was ordered FROM her bed to be searched for weapons! Did this not constitute strong arm thug tactics, designed to scare & intimidate?!
Now we find this out about that raid,

Your link wouldn't work for me:
Unethical Dirty Cop Mueller Stormed Manafort’s House Two Weeks Before Rosenstein Provided Support for Raid
From what I have seen, it is quite methodical.
Apparently, it was conducted that way so that evidence would not be destroyed.
How many times are doors knocked in and SWAT teams search a house in the middle of the night? That happens all the time under certain circumstances where there is sufficient evidence of criminal activity and evidence may be destroyed.
There have been numerous indictments as a result of that raid and other portions of the investigation.
Your link does not work, but I found the article.
Jarrett's reasoning in light of the Special Counsel authorization is silly. Manafort was connected with the Trump campaign, and he has longstanding ties to Russia. That didn't start in 2016, when Manafort volunteered to take over Trump's campaign. It is obviously relevant to look at what Manafort was doing before he joined the Trump campaign.
Editorial bluster is no substitute for facts.
Mueller needs to go away. We don’t need desperate super powerful hyper partisan investigations. It costs money we don’t have and the resources could be better used elsewhere.
Plus, Whitey Bulger made Mueller a laughingstock.

Thanx for posting this.
Thanks, hopefully it’s fixed, worked for me.
