Team Trump's Game Plan to Destroy Mueller: Hound Him About 'FBI Lovers'

Team Trump’s Game Plan to Destroy Mueller: Hound Him About ‘FBI Lovers’

"SNIP.....


Republican lawmakers, as well as prominent allies and legal advisers to this president, want to turn it into a hostile referendum on the nexus of the “deep state” and sexual dalliance and infidelity—which is to say that they want to use Mueller’s testimony to zero in on the duo that President Trump has repeatedly slammed as “the FBI lovers.”

“I think the American people would kinda like to know,” said Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), “when [Department of Justice Inspector General] Mr. Horowitz told [Mueller] about Peter Strzok, and Peter Strzok was on his team, and Lisa Page had been on his team, how’d he handle all that? Did he really check into how biased Mr. Strzok was and how that impacted his work?”

Jordan sits on the House Judiciary Committee and is poised to be one of Mueller’s most adversarial inquisitors when the former special counsel comes before that panel on July 17. The president has called the archconservative Ohio congressman “a brave, tough cookie,” sky-high praise from Trump.

.....

“All of the information we gathered with Strzok and Page and all those characters...I’m a lawyer, so it’s the fruit of the poison tree doctrine,” Johnson said. “If the original tree was tainted, then everything that comes from it at least has the potential to be.”

how pumped Gym is now. All strutting and puffed feathers. Will be good to see the cookie crumble.
Mueller won’t have to lay a finger on him. He will just look the utter fool and cowardly sham he is.

his molester enabling (Jim Jordan) allies really need to stay far far away from the topic of sexual malfeasance.
