Chuck, maybe you're not aware of how broad the directive Mueller was given actually was?

It wasn't by any means limitless the way you seem to be portraying it, but it was broad, and he has not strayed beyond the parameters of that original directive.
I don't know. There is broad ... and then there is Mueller's interpretation of broad. It might be called broad, but it sure appears limitless.

Maybe if the Supreme Court judges were not too busy sucking illegal alien criminals' cocks, they could step in and remind Mueller of the definition of broad. Yeah, I know. That's not going to happen. But, Mueller sure does need a leash instead of the no leash that he sure appears to have right now.

Mueller has the power to investigate "any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated" with Trump's campaign, but also to examine "any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation." and "any other matters within the scope of 28 C.F.R. § 600.4(a)"-including perjury, obstruction of justice, destruction of evidence, and intimidation of witnesses."

Let's be real here. The fanboys would've bitched and moaned had Mueller been giving permission to take on the Cohen investigation despite the fact it being outside the scope of his investigation into Russian interference. Rosenstein made the right call by referring the case to SDNY since it had nothing to do with Mueller's investigation into Russia

Had Rosenstein approved Mueller to after Cohen it would've been similar to Ken Starr's investigation in the 90s. Starr was appointed to investigate Whitewater but then was given approval by Janet Reno to expand his investigation into the Lewinsky affair.
 
Hey genius, Mueller referred the Cohen matter to the NY U.S. attorney. Not Rosenstein. Rosenstein allowed him to expand and Mueller sent it to NY for logistical reasons. So everything you just posted is contradictory.
Speaking of full of shit.

Mueller referred the Cohen case, so a presidential pardon, which Trump almost instantly thought about, would be impossible. This collaboration with states is on for months, so the obstructionist can't just stop the whole thing going its course.

This is being decided in a federal court and is a federal case. Trump could pardon anyone involved if he chose to do so if it comes down to that.
Cohen hasn’t been charged with anything to pardon him for.
Wow, you are woefully ignorant.
 



Wow !
Trump's political allies found 'no evidence' of collusion. What a shocker...

By the way, the same commitee had found no evience of wrong-doing from Hillary about Benghazi. Still you and other contservaturds maintained that her and Obama were responsible for the death of Christopher Stevens and 3 other US citizens...
Seems like you bother about the House Intelligence Comitte only when it matches your opinion.

He will join the ranks of Flynn, Manafort, etc., and he will spill the beans 100%, when push comes to shove.

Buit enjoy the final weeks where the swamp still goes on

Manafort is vigorously defending himself. Flynn pleaded to a process crime. It may be vacated.
No beans to be spilt. You’re like talking to a mental patient.

That Watergate 2.0 thing is taken the predicted course.

'A political volcano just erupted': is the US on the brink of the next Watergate?
As Trump threatens to fire Mueller, a journalist who was reporting during Nixon’s Saturday Night Massacre reads the warning signs


Ever since the Watergate scandal of the 1970s, the golden rule for presidents under investigation by a special prosecutor or special counsel has been that the president shall not fire the person conducting the investigation. For there – as medieval maps sometimes warned travelers – “be dragons”.

Donald Trump has been lectured repeatedly on this score by various advisers and pundits. Yet word keeps leaking out of the White House that Trump would like nothing more than to fire Robert Mueller. So far, Trump has heeded the warnings. But how much longer, one wonders, can a man who famously bragged that he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and get away with it be expected to resist temptation to dismiss the special counsel?

Since May 2017, Mueller, dogged as Inspector Javert in Les Misérables, has been investigating assorted misdeeds allegedly committed by Trump and his aides – from “collusion” with Russians meddling in the 2016 presidential election to the payment of large sums of hush money to a porn actor and a former Playboy model.

Mueller has already either indicted or wrung guilty pleas from 19 people, including Trump’s former campaign chair. What’s more, it appears that Mueller is following a trail left by former FBI director James Comey, whom Trump did fire last year, on a possible obstruction of justice charge against the president.

Clearly, Trump is feeling pinched and would like the cause of his pain to vanish. So let us review the short history of that golden rule everyone keeps warning him about.

Anyone wrongly accused or is the subject of a sham investigation will push back.
I am beginning to wonder if you might not be a special needs person.

Are you stupid? The people who didn't get arrested or get a full raid on office, home, etc. will keep on pushing back, as they already are. This is a rather dumb prediction, as it happens already.

But, hey, we will see how this goeson, I am pretty sure, and you seem to be sure, too.

Time will tell.

Side note:

You make your idol proud again, taking it to slurs and low blows. I expected no better of you.
