Yes...Mueller knows that he has a big problem now.

If he's not going to get fired, not sure why. He's just investigation facts. Mueller is a Republican remember. 

BTW Carter Page had been under surveillance for his ties with Russia previous. Perhaps that influenced the FISA court more than a Yahoo article.

Mueller can keep doing his thing...but he won't be able to use anything poisoned by the DOJ/FBI cooked warrant.

FISA rules are very specific regardless of previous surveillance on Carter Page.

The Republicans and Trump didn't do this without believing it gives them some political advantage....even if it only demonstrates bias in the investigation.

So does that mean the 4 indictments the Mueller Investigation has already produced are null and void? Don't think so. 

 

Indictments for unrelated offenses...no convictions yet.

Read the memo for yourself....

So then how would, for example, a meeting with Russia by Don Junior at Trump Tower, be tainted by this Memo?

This memo does not  prove anything....its cherry picked excerpts that are not Representative of the whole truth....More of Trumps lies and deceit.....His world is slowly crumbling could the latest stock market results be evidence of this?

If a FISA warrant was issued for Trump Jr. based on half ass sources, then it all goes down in court.

The FISC/FISA protocol has at its very core a requirement to be untainted by such dirty tricks.

OK well the news today doesn't indicate it did.

The Irony of the recent Stock Market "Correction" is it has little to do with Trump. . . Much like the rally has little to do with Trump. 

Trump will only take credit for good results. 

 

Not much of a correction...more like a sell off based on Fed interest rates and tech sector earnings (e.g. AAPL).

Volatility is back !

The entire FISC/FISA process requires very stout evidence of probable cause to violate the rights of American citizens.

Cartoon dossiers and Yahoo News do not meet such a standard IMHO.  

The memo does not attack the veracity of separate, different sources.

Then perhaps there was more information in the hearing that made them issue the Warrant . . . 3 times! 

 

Could very well be, but the Republicans were not just going to ignore such low hanging fruit for easy political gain.

Democrats thought they could keep this FISA circle jerk under wraps....wrong !

FBI and DOJ have some 'plaining to do !

ETA:  FISA warrants cannot be daisy chained.

So that Sessions gets fired?

Getting fired is the least of DOJ/FBI worries....Americans still remember Loretta Lynch's "innocent" visit with Bill Clinton on the Phoenix Sky Harbor tarmac.

This is a political poker game and the Republicans think they have better cards...for now.

Let’s not forget Mister and Missus Schmikle, formerly inhabitants of the White House, laughably presenting themselves as “progressives” while schmikling 150 million or so, stuffing their pockets until their pants fell down, making the rounds of Wall Street.

It’s a joke really, horn-dog Bill – and Hillary as his defender – surely you jest!

And let’s not talk about Bill’s role in shepherding NAFTA and other globalist schemes, all of which spelled wrack and ruin for American workers but riches for the rich. Bill is Wall Street’s boy and he was richly rewarded.

These two and the Democratic Party are a lot of things but “progressives” they are not.

Don’t expect this matter to go fast and furious.

It is not only that the investigation of Trump’s links with Russia began with a fabricated case, but that it could become the reason for appointing a special prosecutor to investigate Trump’s illegal wiretapping, that is, creating an independent security agency that will find evidence of a Hillary’s coup d’etat.

The US government is headed for yet another potential funding shutdown, no issues have been resolved, and so at best they might end up with yet another short term fix like they did last time. Meanwhile, Trump gets up at 4:39 am to make an ass of himself yet again with his little fingers on his twitter account.

 

Little Adam Schiff, who is desperate to run for higher office, is one of the biggest liars and leakers in Washington, right up there with Comey, Warner, Brennan and Clapper! Adam leaves closed committee hearings to illegally leak confidential information. Must be stopped!

 
Washington seems to have been rendered dysfunctional under this goof. Wen will the childish nonsense stop, and some actual governing begin? Perhaps at the mid terms.

The largest stock market single day drop in history - that is history, including the great depression.

Thank you Donald Trump for your leadership.

I'm betting its a negative reaction by investors to all the pay increases and bonus' companies have been paying out to the help.  Greed is good, largess not so much.

500 points down during Trump's tax plan speech this morning. I would say the cause is fairly obvious.

Nice try.....as a total percentage of the indexes, today's sell off barely counts as a fully expected "correction".  

If Trump can't claim credit for record highs, then he can't be blamed for sell offs either.

Oh...there's a new tax-plan that's got everyone in the dumps? What happened to the old tax plan that had companies roaring their approval with pay bonus'?
