“I would very respectfully encourage the special counsel and his team to bring their work to completion."

Be careful what you wish for, champ.

At first blush, you think he’s supporting his boss. But really?

Someone’s itchy to get to sit in the big boy chair!

ETA: I always find these “Let’s casually sit in a big empty hangar with the big airplane in the background” location choices very odd – unless we’re talking about KAI buying access or Boeing losing hundreds of millions in sales to Iran and possibly having to lay off workers. THEN it’s a great location!

I “respectfully” request that the highly respected special counsel pack up his bags and go home without discovering the extent of the criminal enterprise in which I am involved.

Oh hi, Mike. Been a while. Nice job keeping your head down and staying off the ridge line. Not going to help if you’re dirty but always wise anyway. P.S. I very respectfully encourage you to fuck yourself.

Wrap it up? Easy. Just step over here so we can begin the plea bargaining.

Hard to tell if he is being a need-to-keep-Don-happy mouthpiece, or a keep-Don-in-the-dark-re-my-plans slyboots, or a nervous dweeb.

Maybe he’s afraid Mother will find out he had a fling with a porn actor or actress.

Four years of Benghazi with zero indictments. Two years of emails and no indictments. 15 months of Mueller and 22 indictments and 5 guilty pleas. This is only beginning.

It would be a lot easier for Mueller to wrap it up if Trump and his pack of flying monkeys would stop breaking laws and acting all treasony on a near daily basis.

Yeah, if you can’t wrap it up in a year you’re probably on a vendetta. Lord knows no previous President has had to endure such an ordeal.


January 1994
Attorney General Janet Reno names New York lawyer and former U.S. attorney Robert B. Fiske Jr. as special counsel to investigate the Clintons' involvement in Whitewater. Fiske announces he will also explore a potential link between Foster's suicide and his intimate knowledge of the developing Whitewater scandal.

August 5, 1994
A U.S. Court of Appeals panel refuses to re-appoint Fiske as special counsel, citing a possible conflict of interest because he was appointed by Clinton's attorney general, Janet Reno. Kenneth W. Starr, a former federal appeals court judge and U.S. solicitor who worked in the Reagan and Bush administrations, succeeds Fiske as the independent counsel to investigate Whitewater-Madison matters. He reissues subpoenas for documents, such as the Rose billing records of Hillary Clinton.

June 18, 1996
The Senate Whitewater committee finishes its investigation. Republicans and Democrats remain divided in their respective reports on whether the Clintons committed any ethical breaches.

April 22, 1997
The U.S. District Court extends the Whitewater grand jury's term six more months, until Nov. 7, after Starr says he has "extensive evidence" of possible obstruction of justice.

January 16, 1998
Starr receives permission to expand his investigation into whether Clinton and his close friend Vernon E. Jordan Jr. encouraged a 24-year-old former White House intern to lie under oath about her alleged affair with the president.

April 25, 1998
Starr and deputies question Hillary Rodham Clinton about Whitewater for nearly five hours at the White House. The testimony is videotaped for the Little Rock grand jury.

Nov. 19, 1998
During the first day of impeachment hearings, Starr clears Clinton in relation to the firing of White House travel office workers in 1993 and the improper collection of FBI files revealed in 1996. He also says his office drafted an impeachment referral stemming from Whitewater in 1997, but decided not to send it because the evidence was insufficient.
