Thread: Mueller's Russian Interference investigation

For those of you hanging your hats and hopes on boy scout G-Man Mueller, here's yet another voice attesting to his true nature. Obviously I don't see 9/11 in the same light as Rowley(on who really done it). But here's her views:

9/11 Whistleblower Rowley on Mueller's History of 'Cover-up' | Accuracy.Org

COLEEN ROWLEY, rowleyclan [at] earthlink.net, @ColeenRowley, a former FBI special agent and division counsel whose May 2002 memo to then-FBI Director Robert Mueller exposed some of the FBI’s pre-9/11 failures, was named one of TIME magazine’s “Persons of the Year” in 2002. She just appeared on The Real News report “Special Counsel Investigating Trump Campaign Has Deep Ties to the Deep State,” about Mueller being appointed to investigate the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia. While Mueller has been widely described as being of impeccable character by much of official Washington, Rowley said today: “The truth is that Robert Mueller (and James Comey as deputy attorney general — see my New York Times op-ed on day of Comey’s confirmation hearing) presided over a cover-up …”

In her interview, Rowley noted: “The FBI and all the other officials claimed that there were no clues, that they had no warning [about 9/11] etc., and that was not the case. There had been all kinds of memos and intelligence coming in. I actually had a chance to meet Director Mueller personally the night before I testified to the Senate Judiciary Committee … [he was] trying to get us on his side, on the FBI side, so that we wouldn’t say anything terribly embarrassing. …

“When you had the lead-up to the Iraq War … Mueller and, of course, the CIA and all the other directors, saluted smartly and went along with what Bush wanted, which was to gin up the intelligence to make a pretext for the Iraq War. For instance, in the case of the FBI, they actually had a receipt, and other documentary proof, that one of the hijackers, Mohamed Atta, had not been in Prague, as Dick Cheney was alleging. And yet those directors more or less kept quiet. That included … CIA, FBI, Mueller, and it included also the deputy attorney general at the time, James Comey.”

Rowley also noted that Mueller presided over “the ‘post 9-11 round-up’ of innocent immigrants, the anthrax investigation fiasco, as well as going along with a form of martial law (made possible via secret OLC [Office of Legal Counsel] memos written by John Yoo etc. predicated upon Yoo’s theories of absolute ‘imperial presidency’ or ‘war presidency’ powers that the Bush administration was making [Attorney General John] Ashcroft sign off on).”

“While not the worst of the bunch, neither Comey nor Mueller deserve their Jimmy Stewart ‘G-man’ reputations for absolute integrity but have merely been, along the lines of George ‘Slam Dunk’ Tenet, capable and flexible politicized sycophants to power, that enmeshed them in numerous wrongful abuses of power along with presiding over plain official incompetence. It’s sad that political partisanship is so blinding and that so few people remember the actual sordid history.”

What I think is Russia has attempted to undermine our democracy. What surprises me is how quickly "patriotic" right wingers are to dismiss it.

Where do you see anyone trying to dismiss the fact that Russia tried meddling in U.S. Politics.

Huh? Come again? Trump himself has yet to admit it.

Wouldn't it be Obama who was in the know, after all he was the president at the time.
CIA, NSA. FBI reported to him, not Trump, maybe ask Obama what he knew about the Russians, at the time.

Why? Any discussions would have been done under the radar. Why would trump's team or the russians involve the US intelligence agencies. Trump's an idiot but you got to give him more credit than that.

Yep Trump and his people were able to outsmart the biggest inteligence service in the world, while being watched.

May as well disband the NSA, CIA, etc after all if they counldn't get a presidential candident how could they catch a small terror group.

Under the radar, meaning no phones, computers or personal meeting, ESP only, really.

John Brennan testified a few months ago that he was aware of meetings between trump's team and the russians during the campaign and had informed the FBI them.

Yes you are right, trump is putin's puppet and 'teh russians' have taken over the usa.

If only there was a single shred of proof.

This "Russian-Trump" connection story is getting old.

If evidence that is verified and true - I'll accept it.

Until then....this is hot air.


It's like the 'Obama-haters" who went berserk over all of those allegations, and many were untrue.

Was he not under the Obama adminstration CIA, did he withhold that information from the Whitehouse.

If Obama knew, call him to testify that he knew the Russia were taking over.

Anybody watching the Oliver Stone Putin interviews? Putin makes trump look like the kind of faggot who hangs around toilets in the hope he can eat disinfectant blocks from the mens urinals.

^Downloaded the series yesterday. No time to take a look. May not get to watch them until next week.

Putin is an intelligent man so no surprise he makes Trump look like the buffoon he is.

Why would he testify to something that nobody has claimed. And why would he be required to testify at all.

When Trump became President-elect he was privy to the same intelligence briefings that Obama was.

That term has been around for awhile...before Trump fer sure. Bill Moyers had an article on his website about it a few years ago:

Not only intelligent, he's a hard man and he's been at the top for a long time.
Trumps a schoolboy in short pants by comparison.
