So Mueller has crossed that red line Trump warned him about. He could GAF about "warnings."



REVEALED: Mueller is probing Trump’s financial ties to Russia as he weighed his presidential run



https://www.rawstory.com/2018/02/revealed-mueller-probing-trumps-financial-ties-russia-weight-presidential-run/

Special counsel Robert Mueller is now investigating President Donald Trump’s pre-2016 business and financial ties to Russia — and is looking specifically at the time leading up to when he decided to run for president.

Two sources told CNN that Mueller is asking questions that “included the timing of Trump’s decision to seek the presidency, potentially compromising information the Russians may have had about him, and why efforts to brand a Trump Tower in Moscow fell through.”

The president has said previously that Mueller probing his finances would be a bridge too far.

Mueller and his team, according to one source, are interested in learning when specifically Trump decided to run for president “and how that coincided with his business venture.” The source explained that they told Mueller they believed Trump may have been mulling the run over as early as 2014, though the president denied as much on Twitter earlier in February.

That's basically saying "You can search my house for the bodies all you want, but whatever you do, do NOT dig up that 6 foot deep hole in my back yard that is covered with fresh dirt. That would be going to far."

Trump Began Planning Bid Right After Romney Lost

Records show that Donald Trump applied to trademark the phrase “Make America Great Again” six days after President Obama was elected to a second term.

The timing suggests that Trump was preparing his latest run for president long before most people imagine.

And he was poised to do so while appropriating an old Ronald Reagan slogan as his own.

Call it The Art of the Steal.

As filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on November 11, 2012, application TRMP 1207224 read:

MARK: MAKE AMERICAN GREAT AGAIN APPLICANT: Donald J. Trump ADDRESS: 725 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10022 ENTITY: A United State citizen

When I've seen that picture, I've always looked at their faces before: Putin has on his "I'm the boss" face and the orange infant has on his "I'm a poseur pretending to look tough" face.

But this time I noticed something different. Look at their hands. Who shakes hands that way? Normal people shake hands with their hands held vertically (i.e., thumb up little finger down), with both people's hands on the same level. They're shaking with Putin definitively on top, and dolt's face clearly says "Yes, Master."

Mueller has authorization from Rosenstein to look into this stuff, so he's going to look into it. Good on him for ignoring trump and his stooges' threats to further obstruct justice if he doesn't stay within lines that they have no right to draw.
