Did they have a legal reason to start the Star investigation?

They didn't for Trump.

Yes they did. Go get the sandwich out of your sock drawer. Have it with a pudding cup.

A fake dossier is barely legal

Easy @PurpleThrobber

And we both know the dossier is not what stated the investigation. But keep repeating that lie.

@insinceredawg will tell us that he never thought there was collusion anyway and didn't want a SP to waste 2 years on it

Cook it

Yeah, it's always been about obstruction of justice and Trump's finances. Collusion was just the vehicle they used to get there. Hell Hondo said essentially that just a few weeks back.

It's never the action. It's the cover up that gets you in trouble. See Nixon and Clinton if you disagree.

Trump thought about firing someone

Obstruction


Mueller dragged this out two years waiting on obstruction that never came

Will you lie about that too?

How long did the Starr investigation last?

Starr was asked by the AG to expand his investigation into additional areas. It took a long time because of the Clinton Admin stonewalling and because the initial investigation was expanded at the request of the AG.

Bob. Misses the point. Blames the liberal. As. Always.

Do the Trumptards to agree with your Dear Leader on this?

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/434938-trump-on-mueller-report-well-see-if-its-legit

420-0 is your answer fuck face.

Do you have anything worthwhile to contribute?

Blocked by Lindsey Graham in the Senate. I'm asking this board for their opinion knowing Trump will backpedal and try to block it when Mueller does finish it up.

If that happens get back to us

We already were unanimous last week that we want to see it

Why would Trump not want people to see the fucking farce the democrats pulled?

No Trump does not want it released. At all.

He wants them released as much as he wants his school grades and tax returns to be released.

You sound outraged by the fake dossier. It’s bigger than watergate. I’m hearing Democrats did this. When will the hammer fall?

So if we make one up about you and farm animals and pass it out to the media and various law enforcement agencies you'd be good with it?

Hate to tell you this sledog. But the dossier had nothing to do with the beginning of this investigation.

Also, your beastiality fetish is as weird as Bob's Homophobic pedophile fetish.




A special counsel investigation is subject to oversight by the Attorney General.[33] After questions arose regarding contacts between then-senator Jeff Sessions and Russian ambassador Sergei Kislyak in 2016, one of the first things Sessions did after being appointed attorney general, was to recuse himself from any Justice Department investigations regarding Russian interference in the election.[34]

Over the ensuing months, Trump repeatedly expressed anger over Sessions' decision to recuse.[35]

Special counsel appointment
Edit
Once recused, oversight of any Russia investigation into the 2016 election fell to the Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, a Trump appointee.

As part of his oversight, Rosenstein called for a special counsel and appointed Robert Mueller in charge of that special counsel in May 2017[36] with the charter of determining if there was any Russian interference in the 2016 election process, or related matters.[citation needed]

Reasons for appointing a special counsel
Edit
Firing of James Comey
Edit
Main article: Dismissal of James Comey
The special counsel appointment on May 17, 2017, followed a series of events that included President Trump firing the FBI director James Comey on May 9, 2017.

While the termination letter and several administration officials have stated that Trump fired Comey solely on the recommendations of Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, several other reasons were later offered. Some have cited a Rosenstein-authored memo and Comey's subsequent allegation that Trump asked Comey to drop the FBI investigation into former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn.[37]

According to "four congressional officials", the dismissal took place just a few days after Comey requested additional resources to step up the Russia investigation (the Justice Department denied that such a request was made).[38][39] On May 9, hours before the dismissal, it was revealed that federal prosecutors issued grand jury subpoenas to Flynn's associates, representing a significant escalation in the FBI's Russia investigation.[40][41]

In an NBC News interview, Trump stated that when he decided to fire Comey, "I said to myself, I said, 'You know, this Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made up story."[42] During a May 10 meeting in the Oval Office with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, Trump allegedly told the Russian officials "I just fired the head of the FBI. He was crazy, a real nut job ... I faced great pressure because of Russia. That's taken off ... I’m not under investigation."[43][44]

Calls for a special counsel "intensified" after the firing of Comey, according to the Washington Post,[45] and Mueller was appointed eight days after the firing.[46] The hiring of Mueller marked "a concession by the Trump administration to Democratic demands" for the investigation to be run independently of the Justice Department, according to the Washington Post.[45]

The New York Times reported on January 11, 2019, that FBI counterintelligence grew concerned about Trump’s ties to Russia during the 2016 campaign but held off opening an investigation because of uncertainty about how to proceed on such a sensitive matter. Trump’s behavior during the days immediately before and after Comey’s firing caused them to begin investigating whether Trump had been working on behalf of Russia against U.S. interests, knowingly or unknowingly. The FBI merged that counterintelligence investigation with a criminal obstruction of justice investigation related to Comey's firing. Mueller took over that investigation upon his appointment, although it was not immediately clear if he had pursued the counterintelligence angle.[47]

Authority
Edit
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, in his role as Acting Attorney General for matters related to the campaign due to the recusal of Attorney General Jeff Sessions, appointed Mueller, a former Director of the FBI, to serve as Special Counsel for the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) with authority to investigate Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections, including exploring any links or coordination between Trump's 2016 presidential campaign and the Russian government, "any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation",[48] and any other matters within the scope of 28 CFR 600.4 – Jurisdiction.

As special counsel, Mueller has the power to issue subpoenas,[49] hire staff members, request funding, and prosecute federal crimes in connection with the election interference along with other crimes he may uncover.[50] The constitutionality of indicting a sitting president remains an unsettled legal question.[51][52][53][54]
