The Special Counsel Closes In On Trump As Sean Spicer Gets Grilled About Comey Firing

By Jason Easley on Tue, Oct 17th, 2017 at 5:50 pm


Special Counsel Robert Mueller is focused on Trump’s potential obstruction of justice as former Press Secretary Sean Spicer was grilled about the firing of former FBI Director James Comey.

Politico reported, “During his sitdown, Spicer was grilled about the firing of former FBI director James Comey and his statements regarding the firing, as well as about Trump’s meetings with Russians officials including one with Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in the Oval Office, one person familiar with the meeting said.”

Mueller is clearly looking at obstruction of justice, and he is interested in Trump’s statements and most likely the detailed diaries that Spicer kept as White House press secretary. Sean Spicer has been toxic since getting the boot from the White House. Unlike previous White House press secretaries, the news networks, both cable and basic, have no interest in Spicer.

The former press secretary has shown no signs of turning on Trump but has also given no clear indication that he will not cooperate with the Special Counsel. The investigation has made it into the White House. Trump is running out of space. The walls are closing in on him. The President can shout fake news all day long, but the special counsel is coming for him, as he is getting closer to being held accountable for his potential crimes.

1. I doubt if Spicy is going to fall on his sword

for Donald Trump. Why should he? He was insulted, pushed aside, and finally fired. I may be wrong, but I can't see him putting himself at risk for the likes of Trump. I don't think Bob Mueller takes kindly to witnesses who lie to him.

2. Obstruction of justice would let the GOP off for collusion with Russia

The collusion MUST be part of any charges!

3. There can be additional charges, I imagine. If they're

guilty of more than one, that should come out as well.
