The grounds for war have been laid. You know it and I know it. The democrats have forced republicans into a small corner and have been scratching away at their fat faces since election night. For every action, there is is reaction — basic physics.
Rep. Gaetz and a few dozen other republicans are now calling for a special prosecutor to investigate the great and many crimes of the previous administration and Hillary Clinton.
Rep. Gaetz:
“The American public has a right to know the facts – all of them – surrounding the election and its aftermath,” they wrote. “We urge you to appoint a second special counsel to ensure these troubling, unanswered questions are not relegated to the dustbin of history.”
‘I don’t think that the crimes of the prior administration, of Hillary Clinton, the collusion with James Comey and Loretta Lynch should be forgotten just because Hillary Clinton lost the election’
Here is their 14 point request.
Allegations that former Attorney General Loretta Lynch instructed then-FBI Director James Comey to downplay the nature of the Clinton email probe
The FBI and DOJ’s decisions in the course of the email probe, including controversial immunity deals with Clinton aide Cheryl Mills and others
The State Department’s involvement in deciding which Clinton emails to make public
Disclosures in WikiLeaks-released emails regarding the Clinton Foundation and, according to the letter, “its potentially unlawful international dealings”
Connections between Clinton officials and “foreign entities” including Russia and Ukraine
Revelations in hacked Democratic National Committee emails about “inappropriate” coordination between the DNC and Clinton campaign against Bernie Sanders’ Democratic primary campaign
The “unmasking” of Americans in intelligence documents and potentially related leaks of classified information
Comey’s admitted leak of details of his conversations with President TrumpThe FBI’s “reliance” on controversial firm Fusion GPS, which was involved in the questionable anti-Trump “dossier”
“Our call for a special counsel is not made lightly,” the lawmakers wrote. “We have no interest in engendering more bad feelings and less confidence in the process or governmental institutions by the American people. Rather, our call is made on their behalf. It is meant to determine whether the criminal prosecution of any individual is warranted based on the solemn obligation to follow the facts wherever they lead and applying the law to those facts.”
Rep. Gaetz tears into Clinton, Rice, Obama and the whole cabal — calling for an investigation into these matters.
And here is the Chair of the House Judiciary Committee, Rep. Goodlatte, discussing the hypocrisy of the left, wanting a Russian investigation but not one that pursues the truth in the sundry of apparent crimes committed by the previous administration and Hillary.
With AG Sessions under pressure to deliver, I would not be surprised to see dueling Special Counsels investigating both matters at the same time.

I predict a tie. The deep state will take care of it. No russian meddling and no crimes committed by the Klinton Organized Crime Familia.
Wow, a post from your stupid ass with no reference to evil Jews. Maybe the treatments are working.
You’re optimism is disturbing. You assume that the take-over-Syria/make-war-with-Iran/fuck-with-Russia crowd gives a shit about Hillary. I would not make that assumption.
Only when they get everyfreakinthing they want from Trump will they lay off. Already the president’s indicated that he’ll cave into the warmongers on additional Russian sanctions (and the Russians have indicated they’ll have to respond.) He’s also indicated that he wants to violate our agreement with Iran re nukes and he is using Netanyahuish psycho-speak re Iran. And ..well, we’ll see if he gets us out of Syria.
The crowd you mentioned may not give a shit about Klinton but the deeps state does. The Klinton Familia, since the time of Bill Clinton the prez and their Clinton Foundation which is a massive ‘favors for bribes” operation implicates the whole deep state/US government. The Klinton’s have enough on everybody for the entire deep state (Mossad/CIA/FBI, etc.) to be brought down. A massive spider web of connections and money laundering implicating hundreds of high-level people. Klinton Familia are criminals and they’ve been at it successfully for the last 30years.
The Clintons have been under some form of investigation for nearly 25 years. Time to move on to the current shit heap in office while we still have a chance to make things better.
This is where it gets interesting. By appointing General Kelly Marines/ExDHS as Chief of Staff Trump is telling the deep state/Democrats “Don’t f*ck with me.”
Secondly, with the House Judiciary Committee calling for an investigation of Comey, Lynch and Clinton, it opens the door for the Democrats/Lindsey Graham’s/John McCain’s worst nightmare – the appointment of Rudy Giuliani as Special Counsel.
Congress has already been threatening that Giuliani would not be approved for any AG position. But Sessions can appoint Giuliani as Special Council without congressional approval.
And with an official Special Prosecutor of the stature of Giuliani going after Comey it will be game over for Mueller’s remit, as Comey is the entire reason for being appointed. Trump has also stated, via Twitter, that he will simply pardon any and all subjects of Mueller’s investigation. Trump can do this, for past actions or any possible future actions – it is within his Constitutional authority.
I have a feeling that Rosenstein, appointed on the recommendation of Preibus, will be gone soon too. Here is the line-up that is evolving:
Trump/Kelly/Scaramucci/Sessions/Brand/Giuliani. I don’t see a future for Rosenstein.
And Sessions’ announcement last week that all leakers will be prosecuted and sent to jail, was also aimed at Mueller’s team. These folks no doubt have had to sign binding NDA’s, and when their investigation collapses in about 1 or 2 months time, they know that they will be wearing orange jumpsuits if there are any leaks, ever.
That represents an impregnable defence with overwhelming force. Checkmate. Game over.
Bye bye Mueller. You had your chance – but the time for honouring yourself will soon be at an end.
Bah. Kelley has a history of carrying out orders that the neocons issued. Maybe he’ll act as an enforcer for Trump’s agenda …but more likely, he’ll convince him to make a “strategic retreat” …the first of many. And remember Giuliani, as a the good NY pol that he was, was the first person to shout down any examination about why they hate us after 9/11 …and he fed the neocon state narrative like a good boy. So maybe a hero will arise, but as long as the people remain clueless, the expedient thing to do is capitulate to the concentrated interests that program the masses – – this is what these experienced operators would likely bring to our incredibly naive president.
Giuliani is in his 70’s – he could have possibly been a replacement for Sessions or even Rosenstein, but I don’t think he has got it in him. Then his ego also might not accept playing 2nd fiddle to Sessions as Deputy AG.
But think about this – suppose he is approached with the offer to work independently as a Special Prosecutor, raise his own team, and be remembered throughout American history as the man who finally brought the Clintons to justice. I think he would jump at the opportunity.
You may be right about Kelly – but Trump has become so revered by the military that I believe they will do anything to protect him.
Good stuff Cricket
Cuckpots have been whackin’ to this wet dream for months. It ain’t happening. But it’s great for raising money for conservatard reps.
Just enjoy the Trump unraveling and put your lube and tissues back in the drawer next to your KellyAnne Conway posters.
Please don’t encourage Cricket’s sophomoric nonsense. Dumb and dumber.
Say what? All thoughts are a go here according to Dr Fly. What is your problem with that?
TC According to Roman legend, Nero went to see an Oracle and asked what his future held. The Oracle said “Beware the age of 73”.
Nero, in his 30’s, was pleased. But within a year he would be dead by his own hand and Galba, aged 73, would be the new Emperor.
How old is Giuliani?
Trader Confessions is intimidated by solid, independent thought.
He is not able to do this himself, so he is scared out of his mind when he sees it.
Spot on regarding Kelly and Giuliani.
The real war is the sanction bill on russia. It’s pretty much an act of war.
Nerp, this was discussed when they met. 92 3d chess
Interesting. Is this bill aimed at Russia, or Europe?
Giuliani holds some cards, I think. Secretary of cyber security just all of a sudden floated?
There is no way out of a boring summer with these allegations.
25 years and the killary body count continues. But seth rich will not just go away. The email traIL on weiner laptop and dnc servers will expose all.
OF course. Let’s face it the only thing Trump has been successful at is bashing Clinton – it’s what got him elected. Now that he can’t accomplish anything as president, time to go back to the only thing he knows how to do.
It’s not really about the Clintons, per say, the right just likes to use those names to fire up their loyalists. It may be a boring process this summer but the outcome would be like Independence Day, sheer jubilee sending fireworks, instant peace.
