        Friday, 26 January 2018, WASHINGTON, D.C. - President Trump last June ordered White House counsel Donald F. McGhan, Jr. to have the Department of Justice dismiss Robert S. Mueller III the special counsel overseeing the Trump-Russia investigation. This followed press reports that Mueller was then also looking into obstruction of justice charges as well after which Trump apparently convinced himself that Mueller had fatal conflicts of interest on at least three counts. During this period Mr. Trump and his initial outside counsel led by one of Trump's longtime New York lawyers Mark Kasowitz were being more adversarial concerning Mr. Mueller with Trump even declaring that Trump's personal finances would be a "red line" that the special counsel could not cross.            

       According to four New York Times sources with first-hand knowledge Trump reached the point last June 2017 that he ordered White House counsel McGhan to contact the Department of Justice to dismiss Mueller. Mr. McGhan reportedly refused to do so on the grounds that to do so would significantly raise the specter of White House obstruction of justice after James Comey's earlier firing and other White House efforts to enlist others to shut down the Trump-Russia investigation. Mr. McGhan stated that to fire Mueller would be "catastrophic" to the Trump presidency. Although he said he would quit rather than carry out Trump's order McGhan who had worked with Trump for some time including back throughout his presidential campaign correctly predicted that Mr. Trump would back off from his order. McGhan reportedly himself is also under scrutiny by Mueller.

       During this period  Mr. Trump considered other possible scenarios to shut down Mueller including having Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein who had overseen Mueller from the start of the Trump-Russia special counsel probe removed so that DOJ's no. 3 official Rachel Brand could take his place and presumably be more inclined to act on Trump's wish that Mueller be removed as special counsel. Mr. Trump's public comments during this time were misleading at times as Trump repeatedly maintained that he was not giving the matter of removing Mueller serious consideration even when he was wavering on doing so. Special counsel Mueller reportedly in the past few months has became aware of what is now Trump's first known effort to shut Mueller down.

UPDATES Torture Camp Guantanamo AG Sessions Visits Future Home "Very Fine Place" - Serial Perjurer Racist "Disgrace" Recusal Violator Obstructer Of Justice Trump GOP U.S. AG Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III Dumb Hatred Diseased Soul Toxic Rot Drags U.S. Back Orders Universally Condemned Harshest Criminal Sentences Sadistic Return To Nightmare Catastrophic Failed "War On Minorities" Sessions Seeks Pot Seller Death Penalty - Harvard Law Former Federal Judge And Prosecutor Call Mandatory Minimums "Cruel" And "Unjust" Barbaric Evil Sessions Hid Russian Meetings Falsely Swore Led Casework Violates "Recusal" Replacing Trump-Russia FBI Chief Lies Go On

       Friday, 12 May 2017, WASHINGTON, D.C. -  UPDATED - Racist "disgrace" Senate serial perjurer Trump-Russia recusal violator as well as without limitation criminal obstruction of justice and other laws, rules of professional responsibility, ethics and other violations for which he should be disbarred and prosecuted as detailed in the second link below this week issued a new (old) "rollback" to sentencing guidelines universally recognized as having been a catastrophic failure needlessly destroying untold thousands of American lives disastrous for the Nation (but highly beneficial for his private prison business payoff buddies which has well enriched Sessions for his ceaseless Senate efforts single-handedly to bring the United States back to the Dark Ages) in which Sessions improperly due to his own illegitimacy purports to order federal prosecutors to seek the harshest criminal penalties with maximum mandatory minimums and all available enhancements as set out in the first link below hoping to fill private prisons in which he is directly invested and for which Mr. Sessions presumably will be the first defendant on which his draconian policies can be applied in his sentencing.
     These proven horrific policies immediately then may be nullified in consideration of the fact that Sessions as all have witnessed rightfully should be retroactively disbarred back to his first instance of Senate perjury or more likely some earlier abuse of power and/or Civil Rights Act violation and all of his wrongful actions taken and policy initiatives implemented in his improperly purported position of so-called "U.S. Attorney General" being so nullified in consideration of the fact that they were taken after and contemporaneously with his commission of the legal, professional and ethical violations detailed without limitation in the second link below giving due consideration to the stark impropriety of his having taken ostensibly official actions on behalf of the U.S. Department of Justice when he already had committed and would be committing actions for which he properly already should have been disbarred and prosecuted for at least several serious felonies and reversing purportedly official actions taken in this publicly felonious status therefore with every appearance of impropriety thus justly being held null and void.
     Readers interested in the attestation of two Harvard Law professors formerly a federal judge and prosecutor that repeated perjurer and recusal violator racist "disgrace" himself rejected as a federal judge Sessions' "misguided" mandatory minimums are needlessly "cruel" and "unjust" while being totally "ineffective" except in human lives ruined and taxpayer dollars wasted can go to the fourth link below. Readers further interested in the circumstances leading up to Sessions offer to President Trump to resign can go to the fifth link below.
     Those readers interested in unindicted felon racist "disgrace" Sessions summer 2017 day trip taking Deputy AG Rosenstein along to show off the "very nice place" Guantanamo torture camp and world terrorist recruiting billboard which contrary to prior Obama administration existing plans Sessions is eager to keep open consistent with his other "backward lurching" criminal "justice" revisited disastrous policies vision as well as his possible future cell home if he is convicted of something like treason or espionage along with perjury and obstruction of justice which Guantanamo torture camp also when visited in person by (not really) "Nice Guy" Neil "Golly" Gorsuch while writing DOJ torture "legal" justifications for his mentor "Pigheart" Dick "Criminal Notorious" Cheney left Gorsuch so moved as to "gush" in a thank-you note to the commandant that the torture camp left him "extraordinarily impressed" can go to the article at links seven and eight below.
     Felon serial perjurer Sessions continues to roll out his latest attempted revivals of badly misguided long-proven criminal justice and related failures with the thoroughly discredited "D.A.R.E." program waxing sentimental about recapturing the heyday of its failures of the 1980's and 1990's (other than for local police departments that got a piece of its wasted federal budget which eventually climbed into the tens of millions of dollars) later when actually empirically assessed  found if anything to have increased illicit drug use among youths either from the "boomerang effect" of resenting being told what not to do or who upon finding in the real world that its drug admonitions were inaccurate turned to harder drugs rejecting all they were told by the "authorities" having lost all credibility. This was associated in those failed years with the "Just Say No" campaign which Dr. Timothy Leary observed properly should be called the "Just Say 'No Thank You'" to drugs campaign. Interested readers can go to link nine below.
     Finally Sessions who is under investigation by Special Counsel Robert Mueller as a member of Mobster Trump's campaign cabal for his undisclosed contacts with Russian officials which he did not fully reveal even given two opportunities to rectify his Senate confirmation perjury did finally release his Form SF-86 supposed to list all foreign contacts pursuant to a lawful public request which however was reported to be largely redacted and blank accompanied by a statement that because of the total number would be in the "hundreds or thousands" while serving as a U.S. Senator that he allegedly had been advised by the FBI that he evidently was not required to list all such contacts.

UPDATED: Obama Betrays U.S. Constitution And Electoral Base Presses Congress Keep Illegal Mass Surveillance Metadata Collection After Lying To People "50 Terror Plots" Thwarted When In Fact "Zero" Have Been Per CNN

     Wednesday, 27 May 2015, WASHINGTON, D.C. - President Obama this week continues to betray the United States Constitution and his electoral base with the increasingly falsely transparent Obama urging the U.S. Senate and all Congress to continue unconstitutional adjudicated illegal federal government mass surveillance of all Americans essentially continuing the most repugnant illegal provisions of the so-called "Patriot Act" then later passing off metadata collection to private telecommunications firms which will doubtless "securely" store all Americans' private communications for later use by the State under the so-called "USA Freedom Act".
     Obama national security agency mostly criminal directors and officials unsurprisingly faithfully have voiced a weak chorus of urging for the endorsement by those in Congress of their continuation of unconstitutional illegal practices which to date have accomplished nothing at all in protecting Americans from any terrorists whatsoever [UPDATE] even while President Obama outright has lied to the American people that "50 Terror Plots" have been thwarted when in fact CNN on air confirmed Friday, 29 May 2015 that President Obama now has been forced to admit the that the true number of terror plots thwarted in fact is "zero" even as the president still attempts to fan false terror throughout the nation without regard for the great cost to core essential American constitutional liberties. Meanwhile crybaby FBI Director James B. Comey badgers on for the endorsement of illegal unconstitutional "roving" wiretap activities of his agency plus a couple of others including strangely unused but nevertheless claimed essential authorities under the non-existent what the Obama administration calls "noncontroversial" provisions of the legally discredited so-called "Patriot Act".
     Not to be outdone in showing further her rote loyalties right out of the gate to her new boss Obama the presumably spoon-fed rantings of new Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch continued her threats that without the use of unconstitutional illegal authorities a "serious lapse in our ability to protect the American people" would result even as a senior Obama administration official unbelievably went so ridiculously far as to accuse the recessed Congress of "playing national security Russian roulette."
     One wonders to what hysterical heights White House terrorspeak rhetorical garbage might ascend were the country actually facing some real acute danger as the Obama administration appears prepared to wager a great many unfounded scare tactics on getting its way in just this week alone. Perhaps President Obama might be better advised to review the record of his claimed hero President Franklin D. Roosevelt before allowing his administration to continue to spout such obvious nonsense accomplishing little but discrediting the Obama administration now and in the future especially in a time of real crisis.
     The so-called "Patriot Act" must be allowed to expire 1 June 2015 and Congress reject any new unconstitutional criminal legislation such as the so-called "USA Freedom Act" which hardly has been debated in any meaningful way for such momentous legislation so seriously impacting core constitutional rights. False flag cries of desperation or Armageddon if no replacements are put in place of such illegal trash legislation as the "Patriot Act" by week's end are rightly disregarded as the Republican controlled Congress continues to demonstrate it has apparently neither the aptitude nor desire to engage in meaningful debate which cannot be replaced by last-minute horsetrading and dealmaking robbing the American people of the deeply thoughtful and comprehensive debate which Congress must have and the American people deserve and demand before the State take any action impacting these hugely significant areas to the future of our nation and the principles upon which it was founded.
     President Obama now repeatedly has done little but continue Bush administration illegal "national security" and law enforcement priorities despite pledging to do otherwise while at the same time allowing key Bush-Cheney administration torturers and other criminals to go completely unpunished and/or even giving them continued federal employment still engaging in existing and expanded illegal unconstitutional federal government encroachments on the People. The Obama legacy domestically in critical areas of promised change appears more and more to be little but an extension of the criminal Bush-Cheney administration policies with few lessons learned by key figures in a State run amok. The federal government intrudes further and further with dangerous challenges of the People's rights with the State's unconstitutional illegal actions anathema to the United States Constitution which the State continues to betray at its peril.
