Trump hopes Mueller is being fair, because if he is, he is "going to be very happy"

President Trump's response to Sharyl Atkisson's question on whether he'd ever try to remove special Russia probe counsel Robert Mueller:

"Well I hope he's treating everything fairly and if he is I'm going to be very happy because when you talk about innocent, I am truly not involved in any form of collusion with Russia. Believe me. The last thing I can think of to be involved in."

New Neil Young (with Promise of the Real) album coming Dec 1

From looking over the song titles, it looks like this one won't be as overtly political as "The Monsanto Years." Of course, I could be wrong. I've always preferred his politics woven into the music, not center-stage and in-your-face for a full album. That's just me.

Matt Gaetz, Andy Biggs and Louis Gohmert want Mueller removed from Russia probe

Three Republican U.S. lawmakers called on Friday for Robert Mueller to resign as special counsel investigating Russia and the 2016 U.S. election, the latest in a series of conservatives’ criticisms of the FBI and Justice Department during the probe of how Moscow may have influenced the campaign.

Representatives Matt Gaetz, Andy Biggs and Louis Gohmert accused Mueller of a conflict of interest because he was director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation when former President Barack Obama’s administration approved an agreement allowing a Russian company to buy a Canadian company that owned 20 percent of U.S. uranium supplies.

President Donald Trump’s fellow Republicans have been calling for an investigation into the Uranium One deal, amid news of Mueller’s first indictments of Trump associates as the special counsel investigates allegations that the Trump campaign colluded with Moscow.

Moscow denies any effort to influence the election, and Trump has dismissed the investigation as a “witch hunt.”

Elf nuts roasting on an open fire...Senator Franken's letter to wee fibber Beauregard

Full letter here: https://www.franken.senate.gov/files/letter/171102_SessionsLetter.pdf

Excerpt:

“Once again, developments in the ongoing investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election have brought to light evidence that you failed to tell the truth about your interactions with Russian operatives during the campaign,” Franken wrote in a letter to Sessions on Thursday in which he asked the attorney general to clarify his accounts to the Senate. “I am deeply troubled that this newest revelation strongly suggests that the Senate ― and the American public ― cannot trust your word.”

Irony bites Trump's misshapen orange ass, and yet he still fails to appreciate irony

....People are angry. At some point the Justice Department, and the FBI, must do what is right and proper. The American public deserves it!

Trump says the "saddest thing" is that he can't order the DOJ and FBI to "lock her up."

Trump Says He’s ‘Very Frustrated’ He Can’t Order DOJ, FBI To Go After Hillary Clinton

“The saddest thing is that because I’m the president of the United States, I am not supposed to be involved with the Justice Department. I’m not supposed to be involved with the FBI.”



President Donald Trump said he would “love” to send the Justice Department and FBI after former rival Hillary Clinton, and is “very frustrated” that he can’t.

During an interview on Thursday, conservative radio host Larry O’Connor of WMAL in Washington told Trump that his callers wanted to see an investigation into the 7-year-old Uranium One deal. Back in 2010, when Clinton was secretary of state, a Russian nuclear energy firm bought a controlling interest in Uranium One. Since then, the deal has become a major talking point in conservative media.

Trump lamented:

“But you know the saddest thing is that because I’m the president of the United States, I am not supposed to be involved with the Justice Department. I’m not supposed to be involved with the FBI. I’m not supposed to be doing the kind of things that I would love to be doing. And I’m very frustrated by it.
