The gaslighting and games of pretending in/around Washington DC never changes. Before there was the obvious cognitive decline of Joe Biden, there was the obvious cognitive incapacity of Robert Mueller. However, both acuity compromises were ignored because the agenda the figureheads represented was more important than their obvious compromise.
We talked about it throughout the special counsel timeframe that held his name.
Robert Mueller was a figurehead with no structural direction or control over the Trump-Russia special counsel probe. Factually, Andrew Weissmann was in control over the special counsel investigation, albeit with daily support from the entire Lawfare network.
[SIDEBAR: I have always wondered why no journalist has ever asked President Trump about the meeting with Robert Mueller, organized by Rod Rosenstein, on the day before the special counsel was appointed. How did Trump feel about Rosenstein when he realized the meeting with Mueller was a ¹set up? (or did he realize it?).]
According to Sharyl Attkisson’s lawsuit (full pdf) Rod Rosenstein, as the U.S. Attorney for Maryland, was in charge of the Obama 2011 and 2012 operation to monitor journalists specific to Ms. Attkisson’s reporting on Fast-n-Furious and Benghazi. Robert Mueller was FBI Director at the time. This is the timeline when Obama began using the NSA database to conduct domestic political surveillance.
The family of Robert Mueller is now saying the corrupt FBI Director turned Special Counsel has Parkinson’s disease and cannot be of any assistance to congress or anyone else. [SEE HERE]
NEW YORK TIMES – Robert S. Mueller III, the former special counsel who investigated ties between President Trump’s campaign and Russia, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease four years ago, his family said in a statement on Sunday.
In recent months, Mr. Mueller, a former F.B.I. director, has had difficulty speaking and experienced mobility issues, people familiar with his condition said. As a result, a congressional committee has withdrawn a request for Mr. Mueller to give testimony this week in its inquiry into the government’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigations. (more)
¹BACKGROUND – Through a FOIA request Judicial Watch received Rod Rosenstein’s email communication around the appointment of Special Counsel Robert Mueller [See Here].
The content of the emails between Rosenstein and Mueller further confirms when Rosenstein took Mueller to the White House on May 16th, 2017, the purpose was for Mueller to preview his target, President Trump.
At the time of the FOIA discovery many focused on the email from May 12, 2017, where Rosenstein said to Mueller, “I assume you realize”… “The boss and his staff do not know about our discussions”; however, that conversation was widely misinterpreted.
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein took Robert Mueller to visit Attorney General Jeff Sessions on May 13th, 2017. The specifics of the “boss” not knowing concerned keeping prior private conversations between Rosenstein and Mueller out of the discussion with Sessions.
When we inserted the Rosenstein email release into our CTH timeline the picture was clear.
Perhaps the most important aspect was how DAG Rosenstein took Robert Mueller to the White House on May 16, 2017, to interview President Trump. The decision to appoint Mueller as special counsel was pre-determined prior to the White House visit:
♦James Comey was fired at approximately 5:00pm EST on Tuesday May 9th, 2017. The next morning, less than 15 hours after Comey was fired, Rosenstein contacted Robert Mueller about the special counsel appointment.
During the congressional testimony of Robert Mueller, Representative Andy Biggs noted evidence of a phone call between Mueller and Rod Rosenstein on Wednesday May 10th, 2017, at 7:45am. Listen carefully at the 2:26 point of the video.
From the FOIA release we could see that following the 7:45am phone call Rod Rosenstein received contact info from Mueller’s asst (8:09am), and Rosenstein emailed his assistant at 8:13am with instructions to contact Mueller’s asst and set up a meeting for Friday May 12th:
Marcia Murphy from the Office of the DAG, then followed through and set up a meeting for 8:00am, Friday May 12th at Main Justice, between Rosenstein and Mueller:
Following that May 12th 8:00am meeting with Mueller, Rod Rosenstein then met with Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe – According to McCabe:
… “[Rosenstein] asked for my thoughts about whether we needed a special counsel to oversee the Russia case. I said I thought it would help the investigation’s credibility. Later that day, I went to see Rosenstein again. This is the gist of what I said: I feel strongly that the investigation would be best served by having a special counsel.” (link)
Later that night (May 12th), at 9:15pm Rosenstein then emails Robert Mueller: “I assume you realize the boss and his staff do not know about our discussions.”
That email is directly related to a meeting scheduled on Saturday May 13th between Rosenstein, Mueller and Jeff Sessions, which is confirmed in the Andy Biggs questioning.
The Mueller Timeline:
♦Sunday May 14th – James Comey transmitted copies of Memos 2, 4, and 6, and a partially redacted copy of Memo 7 to Patrick Fitzgerald, who was one of Comey’s personal attorneys. Fitzgerald received the email and PDF attachment from Comey at 2:27 p.m. on May 14, 2017, per the IG report.
♦Monday May 15th, McCabe states he and Rosenstein conferred again about the Special Counsel approach. McCabe: “I brought the matter up with him again after the weekend.”
On this same day was when James Rybicki called SSA Whistleblower to notify him of Comey’s memos. The memos were “stored” in a “reception area” and in locked drawers in James Rybicki’s office.
♦Tuesday May 16th – Per the IG report: “On the morning of May 16, Comey took digital photographs of both pages of Memo 4 with his personal cell phone. Comey then sent both photographs, via text message, to his special government employee, Daniel Richman. Richman’a job was to use the memo to leak to media.
Back in Main Justice at 12:30pm Rod Rosenstein, Andrew McCabe, Jim Crowell and Tashina Guahar are all part of this meeting. I should note that alternate documentary evidence, gathered over the years, supports the content of this McCabe memo. Including texts between Lisa Page and Peter Strzok:
[Sidebar: pay attention to the redactions; they were placed by DOJ officials in an effort to protect Rod Rosenstein for his duplicity in: (A) running the Mueller sting operation at the white house on the same day; (B) the appointment of Robert Mueller as special counsel, which was pre-determined before the Oval Office meeting.]
While McCabe was writing this afternoon memo, still May 16th, Rod Rosenstein took Robert Mueller to the White House for a meeting in the oval office with President Trump and VP Mike Pence.
After six days of phone calls, emails and in person meetings, this visit to the White House was clearly Rod Rosenstein introducing Robert Mueller to the target of the investigation. Rosenstein already knew he was going to appoint Mueller; and Mueller, along with the small group in the FBI, already knew Mueller was going to be appointed.
Later that night (May 16th), following the Mueller visit, there was a debriefing session back at Main Justice. This evening meeting appears to be Lisa Page, Rod Rosenstein and Andrew McCabe; along with Tashina Gauhar again taking notes.
♦ Wednesday May 17th, 2017: Rod Rosenstein and Andrew McCabe go to brief the congressional “Gang-of-Eight”: Paul Ryan, Nancy Pelosi, Devin Nunes, Adam Schiff, Mitch McConnell, Chuck Schumer, Richard Burr and Mark Warner.
… […] “On the afternoon of May 17, Rosenstein and I sat at the end of a long conference table in a secure room in the basement of the Capitol. We were there to brief the so-called Gang of Eight—the majority and minority leaders of the House and Senate and the chairs and ranking members of the House and Senate Intelligence Committees. Rosenstein had, I knew, made a decision to appoint a special counsel in the Russia case.”
[…] “After reminding the committee of how the investigation began, I told them of additional steps we had taken. Then Rod took over and announced that he had appointed a special counsel to pursue the Russia investigation, and that the special counsel was Robert Mueller.” (link)
Immediately following this May 17, 2017, Go8 briefing, Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein notified the public of the special counsel appointment.
According to President Trump’s Attorney John Dowd, the White House was stunned by the decision. [Link] Coincidentally, AG Jeff Sessions was in the oval office for unrelated business when White House counsel Don McGahn came in and informed the group.
Jeff Sessions immediately offered his resignation, and Sessions’ chief-of-staff Jody Hunt went back to the Main Justice office to ask Rosenstein what the hell was going on.

Timeline
RUSSIAGATE – THEY HAD NOTHING – This investigative ‘small group’ were the people inside Main Justice (DOJ) and FBI headquarters who redacted the Lisa Page and Peter Strzok text messages; removed messages and communication antithetical to their goals; kept key documents and information away from congress; stalled any effort to expose the unlawful aspects of “SpyGate’ and the fraudulent foundation behind the Carter Page FISA application; and undermined any adverse discoveries in the leak investigations (ex. James Wolfe).
The DOJ/FBI investigative small group didn’t change when Mueller arrived, they just reorganized the focus of their effort based on lawfare leadership from Andrew Weissmann and new objectives. Those same people who created the Trump-Russia collusion/conspiracy case of 2016, evolved into creating the Trump obstructing justice case of 2017, 2018 and 2019.
Everything Robert Mueller and Rod Rosenstein were doing in late 2017 and throughout 2018 was intended to drag-out the Russia conspiracy narrative as long as possible. There was really no Trump-Russia investigation taking place.
It was always the “obstruction” investigation that could lead to the desired result by Mueller’s team of taking down President Trump through evidence that would help Pelosi and Nadler achieve impeachment. The “obstruction case” was the entirety of the case they were trying to make from May 2017 through to March 2019.
SPYGATE – Just as the New York Times reported, in its final days in office, the Obama Administration expanded the power of the National Security Agency (NSA) to share globally intercepted personal communication with the government’s 16 other intelligence agencies before applying any privacy protections.
The new rules were issued under section 2.3 of Executive Order #12333 after approval by two Obama Administration officials: Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Director of National Intelligence Director, James Clapper.
The new rules, which were issued in an unclassified document titled: “Procedures for the Availability or Dissemination of Raw Signals Intelligence Information by the National Security Agency (NSA),” significantly relaxed longstanding limits on what the NSA may do with the information gathered by its most powerful surveillance operations.
These operations remain as largely unregulated by American wiretapping laws. Surveillances include collecting satellite transmissions, phone calls, and emails that cross network switches abroad, and messages between people abroad that cross domestic network switches.
The changes initiated by the Obama Administration in its waning days empowered far more government agents and officials to search through raw intelligence data. As a direct consequence of the change in policy, that the prospect of intel leaks grew exponentially.
Attorney General Loretta Lynch signed the new rules permitting the NSA to disseminate raw signals intelligence information on January 3, 2017 after Director of National Intelligence James Clapper signed them on December 15, 2016.
The targeting of Donald Trump required surveillance and spying.
The surveillance of Donald Trump never stopped.
The aspect that changed was the team extracting the information. Hence, (FBI) Raw NSA extraction => (FBI) Crossfire Hurricane => (FBI) Robert Mueller => (FBI) Impeachment => (FBI) Mar-a-Lago Raid => (FBI) Jack Smith.
Mueller is the distraction all along. The sepenas need to go to the mind trust, Weissman, and other lawfare actors. It is really a couple dirty dozen individuals.
We don’t want the truth, details or anything criminal that would indict criminals.
We just want the kabuki theatre for the uniparty.

Are any still at the DOJ or in the Federal government?
Scott Meisler still works at DOJ.
A fitting end for this POS. Hopefully he infrequently realizes what a faux life he lead and than back into zombieland.
My memory is fuzzy, too many details.
Who brought their smartphone, and left it in the White House?
Comey?
It was Mueller
It was Mueller’s
Mueller was a vegetable back then, and comedy manipulated him to have his phone on and left behind
Shame the left has no hesitation to use any means to destroy opposing forces.
This RICO operation destroyed the peaceful transfer of power and undermined a sitting president in an attempted COUP by OBAMA and friends. They must pay a severe price for their criminal actions.
When are the democrats ever a target of the deep state?
when they get too greedy and don’t share in the spoils.
exhibit: Comey declared hrc a criminal but could not prove intent…with just days before the election. I written about this many times over. It was not just peculiar. It provides a good insight into what the secret police spy state will allow..and what they will not abide.
it’s always about money with the demons. It is a trap that no godless man or woman can refuse. and that is why they go after their own when the money isn’t being shared.
notice the difference? god obedient, God fearing men and women are not after money and glory. they KNOW what the truth is about this life. DOING THE RIGHT THING< ESPECIALLY WHEN TEMPTED TO DO SOMETHING OTHER.
this war, you see really is about good versus evil.
we have the privilege and also the responsibility to notice these truths and then to act in accordance with a righteous cause.
comey is no better than Hillary…he was simply there to make sure she would be reduced..whether or not he knew in advance what total sum effects his staged allegations would have on the election are quite clear.
the secret police state could not HAVE Hillary..because she was untrustworthy among thieves. I believe “They” considered Trump a more attractive POTUS who could be steered. and to some extent this did happen. warp speed. it’s a non trivial paradigm shift in power…precisely what the secret police spy state desired….which would have the effect of allowing them to install whomever they wanted.
most people just don’t understand this aspect….it is bothersome to realize just how powerful the insiders are. and they are.
but there are godless …and that is their Achilles heel. the fail, because they build human empires. God will not be mocked.
God Bless America
“when they get too greedy and don’t share in the spoils.”
Old Bob Menendez found out the hard way.
Same with Blago.
Democrats created the deep state. Republicans were beaten down for over a century by massive Democrat violence (including the forgotten black Republicans). Democrats later coopted and are guilty for succumbing. But make no mistake. The Democrat party was formed as a party hostile to the constitution and that hostility has endured and continues today. From the vile murders committed by the Border Ruffians to the murdering of Lincoln to regain power to the civil war to the unleashing of massive violence on the black radical Republicans by paramilitary groups such as the Klan to Medgar Evers to countless others, the Democrat party has the blood of the nation on its hands. And we live under a Democrat party occupation.
He is probably is gone mentally.…but Medtronic has a device for Parkinson’s tremors. So, He simply won’t recall.
We live in fantasy land, a pretend world foisted upon us by a pretend party, the demonrats. We pretend the vaccine was safe and effective. We pretend men can become women. We pretend Ukraine is fighting for “democracy.” We pretend national borders don’t matter and that crime isn’t a social problem. We pretend riots are mostly peaceful. We pretend “Joe Biden” was President and in control. We pretend our elections are free and fair and not tampered with. Now they expect us to pretend Bob Mueller is too diseased to testify to Congress. All of DC is just a giant racketeering operation with legalized theft and bribery. The American people are suckers and chumps being drained dry by the racketeers.
And then there is all of us, here.
We dont pretend. The facts are the facts, the truth is the truth, and damn anyones feelings. The truth doesnt care about them.
Its mighty frustrating to be among the ” we dont pretend not to know things ” crowd, and see all of this go on, and not 1 person, is held accountable.
I always think, if all of this crap, is what we know, imagine how horrifying the things we dont know, are.
It is very frustrating Bobo of the North.
Hillary will mysteriously develop another case of fainting spells.
Bill was conveniently photographed last week looking frail and walking around with a defibrillator. Timely.
Comey and Taylor will be too busy selling sea shells by the seashore.
And that defibrillator did not appear to be the average type seen in public places…(the ones meant to buy some time before paramedics arrive on scene).
That looked to be the type that sits on top of the “Code Cart” in the hospitals. So they also have someone with some serious medical training/licenses, travelling with them.
… or as Screaming Eagle implies above/below, much of this is likely theater to avoid subpoenas. Thus, the bigger the defib equipment, the better.
Ok! statute of limitations. Dementia, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s or whatever if they are too far gone to stand trial let’s make sure their reputations, legacy name/everything is so sullied no one will ever consider doing what they did.
I expect one or both of the Clintons will show up to the hearings (if they actually show up) wearing a neck-brace and shuffling behind a walker, the same phony act Harvey Weinstein used at trials.
“Dissemination of Raw Signals Intelligence Information by the National Security Agency (NSA),” significantly relaxed longstanding limits on what the NSA may do with the information gathered by its most powerful surveillance operations.” [Sundance in this article]
Nancy Pelosi and her husband are ‘whales’ on Wall Street. Many other politically connected people have gained enormous wealth through the stock market. … Are the politically connected people shrewd investors too or just ‘eavesdroppers’?
*********
As the ‘Wizard of Wall Street’ once famously said, ‘Warren Buffett = “There’s never just one cockroach in the kitchen” refers to the idea that if one problem or secret is discovered in a business, there are likely more hidden issues waiting to be uncovered upon further investigation. … His famous advice is about investing in a business with financial problems. [Internet AI]
……. But the advice could also be applied to political shenanigans.
I was on a long road trip when Mueller testified before Congress. I knew it was all a farce when he testified, under oath, that he had never heard of the Steele Dossier.
“Outside my purview”…..yeah, that was a hard one to swallow.
I was picked out on the internet when I made comments on PBS Newshour website 2012-2013. I wonder what part I was cast in for Spygate. There’s a collusion of MSM and the IC, as everyone knows. But it is more than MSM being a mouthpiece. They do operations together, and I was inserted in one (or more than one).
Let’s be honest: when they had the hearings it was visibly clear the Mueller had absolutely no idea what was in the report. How long ago was that? Republicans sit on their hands, hold meaningless hearings where nothing happen, let statutes of limitations expire and otherwise play into this game of NEVER holding anyone accountable.
In the video, Mueller, fresh from “authoring” his report somehow cannot “remember” any details about his involvement or participation in meetings or communications concerning how he (of all people) became Special Counsel. WTF???
It sticks in my memory that Lindsey Graham adamantly stated “I trust Robert Mueller. He’s the right man for the job.” Ugh!
Sadly, Mueller, the dirty cop who ruined the lives of many with his shady corrupt tactics will escape justice in this life. Rest assured he will not escape justice in the next life.
Nothing to do with Epstein, Muller’s loss of memory. If Trump was implicated in any way, shape, or form with Epstein that card would have dropped 10 years ago. Robert couldn’t remember in the clip in the article. Plausible deniability, Washington. The memory loss is, my opinion, is the avenue Sundance walked us down in the article. Cover up for Barry and his crew of potential criminals.
At some point calling witnesses to a congressional investigation will be stymied.
That is,,, if real investigations are being completed and said witnesses are being criminally investigated. On the advice of their attorneys they will be claiming the 5th. Won’t make for good kabuki theater optics in the House investigations. Good grief…
As a sidebar – it might be nice for DNI Tulsi Gabbard to declassify any information regarding Government spying on Sharyl Atkisson.
Specifically – Those responsible for initiating the surveillance against her.
Let Weissmann take his place, under oath! After testimony take Weissmann out in handcuffs and let him sit in a Rikers Island cell for a few years before his case is brought to trial. Go down the list of attorneys involved and treat each one the same until someone talks! It is time to take off the gloves and rid America of all the trash, including foreign born members of Congress, those in Congress who are stock grifters, and those who support terrorist organizations. Also time to get rid of anyone who refused to assimilate to American culture and language. If we don’t we will soon be conquered by radicals and their cults.
💯
Didn’t he either just publish a book, or write the preface pages of another person’s book? 📖✍️
intentionally forgetting things…pretending not to know, is NOT AN EXCUSE.
put him on trial….he will break…
he IS a squealer ….
he is one of the 3900. justice will not take a vacation because he has brain worms.
God Bless America
Call Rosenstein in.
He saw muller had Parkinson’s or whatever back in 2017
How convenient he can’t testify. They have no shame, the games continue and the usual suspects cooperate with the games. When are we the people going to stand up and say Enough is Enough
So What? Not a good enough excuse in my opinion.
Unless he is in a coma and can’t speak….this is not an excuse.
wait a minute didnt we go thru this tripe with the Hilderbeast???? those thick glasses and “what difference”…???
i think ill try this excuse next time i get a speeding ticket…
SURE HE DOES!! He was working that angle when he was being grilled in front of his complicit pals during the first agonizing pretense of a Congressional hearing. Spare me the endless B.S. Pretty soon there will be hundreds of mentally deficient former and current leaders with severe memory loss. An epidemic. Sad. Must be the water.
Parkinson’s to get out of a depo after partially wrecking the country! Innovative.

A patsy/stooge with Parkinsons is like winning the lottery.
S.D. your investigations are The Gold Standard.
S.D. your investigations are The Gold Standard, by which all journalism students should be taught.
Anyone that saw his testimony like 5 years ago saw it. This is nothing new.
Straight from a movie. Just change the names.
“Tattaglia’s a pimp. He never could’ve out-fought Santino. But I didn’t know until this day that it was Barzini all along.“
RICO em all.
RosenSnake knew Mueller was ill.
Since when is Parkinson’s considered the same as Alzheimers ?
If the mind is lucid then Mueller needs to testify.
It’s a new strain called Parkheimers. So far, only Bob has it, but it could spread to other wirnesses. The family is asking for privacy at this very serious time.
Accommodate them by giving him a private cell
Parkinson’s can affect the brain and cognitive functions. It’s not just the shaking.
For what it’s worth, Weissmann was the prosecutor of mobster Vincent Gigante, who was noted for his fake mental illness and dementia routine.
I have much more respect for Gigante than I do for Weissman
The Mueller Investigation was the Weissmann Persecution.
Geeee….their bag of tricks is endless!
Obama is not a non possessed person.
Hiring superannuated, near-incompetent figureheads in key roles seems to be a feature rather than a bug.
May he languish in a back bedroom somewhere for years…
A national disgrace to add to the ever growing list.
Maybe gift Mueller’s family with an assisted suicide kit from Amazon?
Regular criminals go to prison, DotGov criminals get protected or in this case, ’round the clock care. TMYK
Well, of course he does! Sheesh.
My husband was on PD-5 Treatment for Parkinson’s disease from Uine Health Centre for 6 months. The treatment relieved symptoms significantly, even better than the medications he was given. Reach them at uinehealthcentre .net
Evil things happen to evil people!! There is always a price to pay.
Still waiting. So much crime and treason but no prosecutions. Patience is wearing thin, and Satan’s agents continue to operate without fear.
Sessions should be eating prison food. Most of Obama’s corruption can be laid at the feet of Sessions. All so he would be invited to all the DC galas. Little half-a-Sissy.
Explain to me exactly why he’s exempted from accountability and prosecution because he has Parkinson’s? We all have an appointment with death. No sympathy here
