It has been clear for a while that the FBI knew the President had no role in Russian collusion, yet they proceeded with the investigation anyway.
The FBI knew the dossier was fraudulent by January 2017, and again in March and May when they interviewed Christopher Steele’s sub-source.
Former FBI lawyer Lisa Page testified in May 2017, the FBI still had no evidence that Trump had colluded with the Russians to win the election.
We now know the FBI admitted the President did not believe the President was a suspect. We know it from an FBI 302 report that Dan Bongino discussed on his podcast.
In the following excerpts from an FBI 302 report (interview summary), it is made clear three times that the FBI did not believe President Trump was a suspect.
FBI agents told acting Attorney General Rod Rosenstein on May 10, 2017, that the President was not a suspect. Rosenstein had the same impression from his initial April 28 briefing he received from then Director Comey. Rosenstein said that based on his May 10 briefing, “there appeared to be no evidence the President was involved personally.”
FBI Interview of Rod Rosenstein: May 23, 2017, via the 302:
May 10, 2017
Rosenstein first contacted Robert Mueller on May 10 at 7:34 am, but he was allegedly thinking about the issue of appointing a special counsel before that time.
Then, at 11:30 am, Rosenstein attended a previously scheduled meeting with the prosecutors assigned to the FBI’s Russia investigation. This was the first regularly scheduled meeting on the matter. During this first meeting, and in light of all the controversy surrounding the investigation, Rosenstein declared, “In my acting capacity as the Attorney General, leave no stone unturned,” or something along those lines. However, those assigned to the case are career prosecutors, so in his personal opinion, telling them to do so was unnecessary because he knew they would do the right thing.
During his May 10 briefing, the team confirmed for Rosenstein that the President was not a suspect. This was also Rosenstein’s impression from his initial April 28 briefing he received from then Director Comey. Carl Ghattas may have attended this briefing, as well as several prosecutors.
Rosenstein elaborated that based on his May 10 briefing, “there appeared to be no evidence the President was involved personally.” Rosenstein inquired whether they needed additional resources, and was informed there was no such need.
So, why did Rosenstein appoint special counsel Robert Mueller?
Bongino and the Tactical Nuke
Bongino called it a “tactical nuke.”
Rosenstein was briefed in April that there was no case and the President was not a suspect, “and they refuse to clear him. Why?”
Bongino answers the question from his perspective.
“Because the Mueller probe has one purpose – to nail Donald Trump.”
On May 10, Mueller was appointed to investigate a non-case with a non-suspect.
Bongino continued, “Now you have it nailed down. Rosenstein knew what Mueller was going to do. That’s why he appointed Andy Weissmann. Andy Weissmann having a reputation for, at best, shady legal tactics. They appointed him knowing he’d keep this case open and knowing Trump wasn’t a suspect the entire time.”
Isn’t this all Durham and Barr need?
Someone told me today that Rosenstein’s sister is a big wig in the CDC. Makes you wonder about what’s happening with the corona virus, hmmm?
trump is a corrupt person all of his crimes with be bought out in court after he leaves office at the end of 2020 election obama had no one go to prison how many of trump administration has been found guilty and sent to prison now who is the corrupt ones
Obama hired a tax cheat to run the IRS! He flat out lied to the American people about fast and furious, Bengazi, the IRS scandal, sent 1.5 billion in unmarked cash to the number one sponser of terror in the world, traded a deserter for 5 taliban generals, commuted the sentence of a convicted traitor and set 1927 prisoners free, oh, and went to ballgames inder a murderous regime! Please, don’t patronize us with stupidity!
These Obama era corrupted morons did spy on Trump illegally, made up a Russian fairy tale, and conspired to take Trump dow down, many should be going to prison, hopefully soon.
It all boils down to one thing, has Durham empaneled a Grand Jury. If not it’s all Bull!
exactly!
And yet Barr hasn’t charged anyone for anything? But Barr continues to work like the very hammers of hell to reauthorize the FISA courts. Go figure.
Show me the 302–don’t tell me about it.
Agreed about muller even at the end of his investigation he had admitted that their was no collusin but there was other information that he ciuldnt or wouldnt say. Why because they classified it because i balieve it wouldve incriminated those who started that treason then and are right now continuing on new endevores to complete their treasonous adgenda. Not just about Trump people. Its about them gaining full control of the. Govt so they can use that power to control us to where we have no say over our potential enslavement. We hold the power people! We need to stop this not Trump not doj or any one else here a new group to wrap your pea brains around. Its called WE THE PEOPLE!! THAT IS WHO RUNS THIS COUNTRY!!!Read the 2nd amendmant. It is time!
The Rodmeister put on his warface and I laughed out loud. These clueless weasel face bureaucrats are not a representative cross section of the people of America.
I apologize to the rest of the world and we can do better which is why the People’s Champion Trump was elected.
Has anyone considered investigating Mueller for more information. After all he was involved and had all the “so called evidence” given him. He should be questioned about his exact role in this and charge him with treason along with Schiff, Pelosi, Schumer and Nadler, along with others in the FBI and elsewhere. They pushed too hard to get Trump and they should all be suspended from their positions and an investigation started on them all.
Let’s get the headline correct.The FBI did not appoint Muller, Rosenstein appointed him knowing there was no case and then lying about it to Congress and the President. That’s at least three felonies far more serious than anything Stone was charged with. I am sure there are many, many more. As for Barr and Muller being friends,I’m reminded of the purported quip of Harry Truman, “If you need a friend in Washington get a dog.” Indict Rosenstein and the twerp will spill the beans on who paid him to set the president up. My bet it was Ovomit.
Which is exactly why they are all getting a pass. Barr’s job is to contain, not expose and charge.
I agree! The trail always leads there!
I totally agree! This corruption is so deep no one can get to the bottom. One man, even President Trump, will never be able to get rid of it all! Too many years, too much money and Power! They will not give that up easily!
Disgusting degenerates ! Off with their heads.
Barr has so much more than he needs. It’s a dirty criminal conspiracy. First Sessions was brought in to turn the DOJ over to the conspirators. Then longtime DOJ thug Mueller was hired to frame Trump. Then Barr, Mueller’s close friend, was brought in to coverup it all.
We had a good idea March 2017 that the spying was illegal, 3 years ago. It still may not be under a criminal investigation. Judicial Watch says it is not. JW is a far more reliable source than the DOJ.
Agree with your post 100%…This was a start of “The Three Amigos”…Comey, Mueller and of course, Rosenstein-to think Otherwise is foolish. They have a Long History, of ‘money making deals between these three. I always Knew that Rosenstein acted WAY too Quickly, when Sessions
‘recused himself, and Rod Immediately “PUSHED Mueller INTO THE MIX.” This Has BEEN a “DEEP STATE” Operation from BEFORE Trump was sworn in.
I held out HOPE that when A.G. Barr was in place, THINGS WOULD CHANGE. They HAVE NOT.
When he appointed Attorney Durham, I STILL held out Hope, that “Those who were Criminally involved – Including Obama, Hillary, Lynch, Rice, Comey, Clapper, BRENNAN(who was joined at the hip of Obama as the two Plotted together) and ALL THE REST OF Obama’s Corrupt Regime, including ALL His “Intel Agencies/Corrupt Directors/Dirty Agents and anyone else who PUSHED for the “Fake Russian Dossier-Paid for by Hillary and the DNC.
Just HOW stupid do Barr, etal. Think Americans are? Is he REALLY the great guy, with the most integrity and honesty we were Told he was? OR is HE PART OF THIS DEEP STATE OF CORRUPT
PLAYERS? This should have ALREADY COME TO FRUITION, AS THE EVIDENCE DOESN’T TAKE THIS LONG, WHILE THOSE WHO ‘ARE GUILTY IN ALL THIS, HAVE NOT EVEN BEEN SERVED INDICTMENTS-SO WHAT DOES IT TAKE BARR/DURHAM? ‘THREE MORE YEARS LIKE MUELLER’S FAKE INVESTIGATION-AS HE LOOKED FOR CRIMES TO PIN ON TRUMP, AT THE COST OF $40MILLION? GET OFF YOUR ASPES, AND MOVE THIS FORWARD BEFORE AN ELECTION……OR, ARE YOU TRYING TO OUST TRUMP, WHOM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE VOTED INTO OFFICE TO “CLEAN UP THE D.C. CORRUPTION AND THAT SWAMP” THAT IS STILL IN EFFECT AND VERY DEEP?
A.G. BARR, ATT. DURHAM, YOU MAY NOT AGREE WITH THIS POST, BUT TELL ME AND OTHER AMERICANS- WHAT YOU “ARE DOING TO BRING THE CRIMINALITY OF SO MANY, INTO THE “REAL DAYLIGHT FOR THEIR CRIMINALITY?” OR, Does it includes you possibly too?
Americans are just stupid enough to keep supporting Trump while Barr does the dirty. Anymore questions?
Lucky us that not all American are idiots like you. Any question?
How can you post something as stupid as what you just did! 19 minutes after Trump was inaugurated the headlines ran ” IMPEACHMENT HAS BEGUN”! Then, for 3.5 years, the FBI using lies, illegal spying, illegal warrants obtained by lyingn to the FISA court.
Lying about the status of Carter Page ( who has NEVER been charged and was the basis of the whole investigation) using foreign agents to manufacture lies and then used the intelligence community to knowingly disseminate lies in order to keep a fraudulent investigation alive….and all has been proven…..and you still post stupid junk like that? Put the crack pipe down homeboy, seek medical help!
But, but, Rosenstein was part of “the plan”.
This is plain as day, Deep State will protect themselves, no matter, correct where is Barr or Durham?
Covering it all up and running the statues of limitations. Where’s Trump is the right question.
The Dems are just a more pernicious version of the Mafia. But even the Mafia has a code of honor. That’s more than you can say about the Dems.
