45 was NOT joking and it was not just an offhand comment.

It was a long comment that he made during a radio interview in which he expressed the sentiments that he is 'saddened' and 'frustrated' by the fact that he can't order the DOJ or the FBI to go after Hillary or anyone else.

And no other president has ever publicly stated anything like this:





By making those public statements he is doing exactly what he said he is not allowed to do.
He is in effect asking the DOJ and the FBI to investigate his political opponent.

Or maybe you think those are just 'jokes' as well.


I'm thinking I may start a thread on this subject if there isn't one already.

Republicans just introduced a resolution to remove Mueller from the Trump-Russia investigation.

WASHINGTON — A group of conservative Republican lawmakers introduced a resolution on Friday calling for Robert Mueller to recuse himself as the special counsel investigating Russia's interference in the 2016 US election and whether President Donald Trump's campaign team colluded with Moscow.

Reps. Matt Gaetz of Florida, Andy Biggs of Arizona, and Louie Gohmert of Texas say Mueller should step down because he was the FBI director in 2010 when US government agencies approved the sale of Uranium One, a Canadian energy company, to a Russian nuclear-energy firm.

The deal required approval because Uranium One had mining operations in the US.

Gaetz says the issue is that Mueller's FBI had found evidence of criminal activity that may have been relevant to the deal but did not bring any charges, and that Mueller therefore should recuse himself from the current investigation.

"These deeply troubling events took place when Mr. Mueller was the Director of the FBI.

As such, his impartiality is hopelessly compromised," Gaetz said in a statement. "He must step down immediately."

Many of Gaetz's Republican colleagues, however, have previously expressed support for Mueller and his investigation.

Senate Republicans have even introduced bills to create a barrier between Trump and Mueller in the event the president attempts to fire him.

Some conservatives have latched on to the Uranium One deal recently, pointing to a report tangentially tying the deal to the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton, who was the secretary of state at the time, and her husband, former President Bill Clinton.

Trump paused to hit Sessions with yet another indignity just before he left the White House for a 12-day Asia trip increasingly colored by his domestic political troubles.

Asked if he would fire the attorney general if he doesn't investigate his Democratic political rivals, Trump said, "I don't know."

He continued to vent his frustration with the top prosecutor.

"I'm not really involved with the Justice Department," he said.

"I'd like to let it run itself.

But honestly, they should be looking at Democrats. ... They should be looking at a lot of things, and a lot of people are disappointed with the Justice Department, including me."

Even if something illegal was done, the statute of limitations for most federal crimes is 5 years, so it's a moot point.

Why is this issue being brought up 7 years after the fact when Republicans in Congress had years to investigate it?

They could have had all the hearings they wanted on Uranium One.
They didn't.

They sure weren't shy when it came to investigating Benghazi.

Now after 7 years it's suddenly a huge scandal?
Sorry. Doesn't pass the smell test.

Where did you hear that Mueller is investigating Trump's taxes going back 7 years?

The committee charged with protecting national security from risky foreign investments is understaffed and besieged by a surge in cases.
