  1. Uh-oh.  Did Mueller colluded with the Russian???  Could this be true?

     

    "Mueller may have a conflict — and it leads directly to a Russian oligarch

     

    But there’s one episode even Mueller’s former law enforcement comrades — and independent ethicists — acknowledge raises legitimate legal issues and a possible conflict of interest in his overseeing the Russia election probe.

     

    In 2009, when Mueller ran the FBI, the bureau asked Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska to spend millions of his own dollars funding an FBI-supervised operation to rescue a retired FBI agent, Robert Levinson, captured in Iran while working for the CIA in 2007.

     

     

    Yes, that’s the same Deripaska who has surfaced in Mueller’s current investigation and who was recently sanctioned by the Trump administration.

     

    I was alerted to Deripaska’s past FBI relationship by U.S. officials who wondered whether the Russian’s conspicuous absence from Mueller’s indictments might be related to his FBI work.

    They aren’t the only ones.

    Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz told me he believes Mueller has a conflict of interest because his FBI previously accepted financial help from a Russian that is, at the very least, a witness in the current probe."

      I don't actually consider myself a "supporter", since he is not my president and I do not follow all the stories about Donald Trump very closely. Certainly, not as closely as you.

      However, a quick google check shows that the person who was subpoenaed today was the long-time social media consultant for one of Trump's advisors.

      Not quite as you have stated,

      why the grand jury subpoena of Trump's social media strategist today?

      Perhaps a little ketchup with your nothingburger today? :D

      Before you completely deny ever supporting Trump, explain how that's different.

      What's really funny (and even ridiculous!)  is that Deripaska, Rusal, EN+ (these are the companies that he headed or founded) fell under sanctions, but the sanctions are so formal that Deripaska himself admits that they did not hurt his business too much.
