Mueller team investigating pre-election meeting between Flynn and ‘Putin’s favorite congressman’

https://www.rawstory.com/2017/11/mueller-team-investigating-pre-election-meeting-between-flynn-and-putins-favorite-congressman-report/

Special counsel Robert Mueller’s team of investigators is looking into a pre-election meeting that took place in 2016 between then-Trump campaign adviser Michael Flynn and Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA), who has often been described as “Putin’s favorite congressman.”

NBC News is reporting that “the meeting allegedly took place in Washington the evening of September 20” last year and “was arranged by his lobbying firm, the Flynn Intel Group.”

NBC News’ report does not have any information about the nature of the meeting, although it says that it is reviewing emails sent from Flynn’s firm to Rohrabacher’s staff thanking them for arranging the meeting.

Rohrabacher, a California Republican who has become notorious for his efforts to advance Russian interests as a member of the United States Congress, recently had his travel privileges restricted over fears that he has been compromised by Russian intelligence officials.

1. Well, well, well

Look who else has been added to the list. Oh I hope Mueller finds something.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. Mueller doesn't miss a trick!

I'm really glad that he's leading this investigation.

[Stuart G]

7. I agree with you Peggy...Mueller will get the small fry, and then the small fry...

will testify against the big fry...then the big fry will testify against the biggest fry.

Mueller is not new to this. Been at this "investigation/conviction thing" a long time. Also, what he doesn't know, some of the people on his team "know." or know where to get the information to prosecute someone, anyone.

Mueller and his team will get those that did wrong. He appears to be persistent and focused. He will get them, and it won't be pretty. And when he get them, they will squeal. That is my opinion, and I do believe that is what is going to happen....Oh, one more idea...

Some characters on the evil side of the street who did wrong, and thought that they could get away with it, don't have a clue as to who this Mueller is and his end game. These clowns still think that "they can get away with it"
It is slow and tedious, but, Mueller and his team will get them, and convict them. It will be quite a show

two boxes please...

[ehrnst]

29. Getting the small fry lets the medium fry know they aren't safe

and perhaps will convince them that delivering the big fry will save their hides from prison.

[Doitnow]

57. Gang members stick up for each other----until they don't.

[Baconator]

58. Several small frys... One or two medium..

Trump will linger...

[BlancheSplanchnik]

61. This is so exciting!

It's not no Fitzmass!

[Eliot Rosewater]

51. And where are the hundreds of republican

Politicians and talking heads speaking out against this and other republican traitors?

I guess treason is OK with them these days

[n2doc]

3. AKA the congressman from Putin n/t

[SCantiGOP]

43. I think he has a get out of jail free defense

Complete insanity. This guy may be the craziest dude in Congress.

[Leghorn21]

4. Nail this motherfucker.

"Rohrabacher’s original plan was to have a show trial in Congress of anti-Putin campaigner Bill Browder in which he would “confront Browder with a feature-length pro-Kremlin propaganda movie that viciously attacks him—as well as at least two witnesses linked to the Russian authorities, including lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya.”

[ChubbyStar]

9. Indeed. I loathe this unctuous wormwood with the heat of 1000 suns!

Pure filth.

[Delphinus]

37. Great turn of the word there

(did I get that phrase correct?)

Belated welcome to DU!

[ChubbyStar]

40. Thanks!

I appreciate the welcome.

[SwissTony]

15. How is that supposed to work?

He's going to try Browder for being anti-Putin? By showing a pro-Kremlin movie? And bringing in at least two Russian witnesses?

My brain can't get around this. Last I heard, Putin wasn't President of The United StateS.

[Achilleaze]

5. incarcerate republican TreasonWeasels

for their betrayal of America.

6. Somebody needs to put out a GOP/Russian program like you get at sporting event.

8. GOOD I've despised that shithead for as long as I can remember

LOCK HIM UP

[calimary]

10. Take a number!

LOCK HIM UP - TOO!!!

[Initech]

42. I've been saying this for months!

Rohrabacher had to have a part in this whole Russia thing. And I could figure that out and I'm not Mueller!

[malaise]

11. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah - I've been waiting

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/house-majority-leader-to-colleagues-in-2016-i-think-putin-pays-trump/2017/05/17/515f6f8a-3aff-11e7-8854-21f359183e8c_story.html?utm_term=.2211e5e1e0a8
<snip>
There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump,” McCarthy (R-Calif.) said, according to a recording of the June 15, 2016, exchange, which was listened to and verified by The Washington Post. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher is a Californian Republican known in Congress as a fervent defender of Putin and Russia.

House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) immediately interjected, stopping the conversation from further exploring McCarthy’s assertion, and swore the Republicans present to secrecy.

Before the conversation, McCarthy and Ryan had emerged from separate talks at the Capitol with Ukrainian Prime Minister Vladi­mir Groysman, who had described a Kremlin tactic of financing populist politicians to undercut Eastern European democratic institutions.

[Wellstone ruled]

12. Funny how Ryan's truth bomb

is now biting the Rethugs in the ass. Karma.

[malaise]

16. The best part was when his spokesperson said it wasn't true

and didn't realize there was audio. Then it was a joke. Bet they aren't laughing now.

LOCK THEM THE FUCK UP!

[Wellstone ruled]

25. And this will be the down fall of Paul Ryan.

Iron man will bury him in his own lies. People in Wisconsin 1 are about to get a major Tax increase and Ryan is caught lying once again.

[malaise]

45. I can't wait for his fall

I will celebrate

[FakeNoose]

62. Back in June 2016 none of them believed Trump would win

Assholes! At the time it really was a joke to them.

Ryan was playing the game just to keep his own job. I believe he hated Trump and almost refused back him when he won the nomination. But we all know how this ended. Lie down with dogs and you get up with fleas. Ryan is going down with all the rest. I really hope this will be the end of the GOP.

[malaise]

63. It should be the end for all of them n/t

[Eyeball_Kid]

64. Money laundering, recorded, w/ Kislyak.

[malaise]

54. Who do you think leaked it?

I've always wondered about the shooting victim.

[Sunlei]

46. I missed that. Paul Ryan, McCarthy and the others 'sworn to secrecy' are due FBI questioning.

[questionseverything]

48. wonderful news

I actually think ryan is the most dangerous repub

covering up for a congressperson that is conspiring with a foreign agent is at least obstruction of justice

[Ukapau]

49. Ryan was emphatic in keeping the secret -- Might be a problem for him... Below is what

Ryan said after McCarthy said the the Russians paid Rorhabacher and Trump (from the 5-17-17 New Yorker magazine article):

"...McCarthy’s remark is met with laughter, and Ryan cautions his colleagues, “This is an off the record . . . No leaks! . . . All right?”

And then, amid more laughter, Ryan says, “This is how we know we’re a real family here.”

“That’s how you know that we’re tight,” Steve Scalise, the House Majority Whip, says.

“What’s said in the family stays in the family,” Ryan concludes.

*************************************************

Sure seems like a cover-up to me. And it sounds to me like they are a real family, a REAL CRIME FAMILY!!!

[malaise]

50. It is one of my favorite articles in this entire coup saga

I can't wait for them to be exposed. We've waited one year - we may have to wait two years but they are going down no matter who they fire.
A lot of men are heading for the Federal Pen.

[Ukapau]

52. Amen! time for this crew to sleep with the fishes (metaphorically speaking)!

[malaise]

53. They will soon turn against one another so it may well

be literal in the near future. That Smith suicide is already suspicious

[Wellstone ruled]

55. Never did see anything

from the Rochester Minn.Police about the real cause of this Guy's death. Generally,Mower County is quite detailed about autopsies.

[Roland99]

13. Excited but not holding my breath.

[mamas]

14. It's about time. He is a long-time Russian bot.

[Initech]

17. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! CALLED IT!!!!! OH YEAH!!!!

[Madam45for2923]

18. The Calexit guy living in Russia told people to thank Rep. Dana Rohrabacher for his support

for Calexit.

[PatSeg]

19. Oh my, you don't say!

[aquamarina]

20. Mueller - taking out the trash.

Rohrabacher is my awful rep and I would love nothing more than to see this guy kicked to the curb.

[Pepsidog]

22. The American people need to wake up, and soon!

How in the world can Californians of all people repeatedly elect this traitor who makes no apologies for his close connection to Russia. Hope he and Trump share a prison cell someday.

[Plucketeer]

35. Sadly - even tho we're a BLUE state

There's areas of blood red. For instance, there's my <barf!> rep, the slimy snake, Mr. Nunes. Any challenges to that asshat have been feckless.

[Pepsidog]

60. Same thing here in my district of NJ

NJ is reliably Dem state but regrettably I live in a reliably red district. In fact Rep. Tom MacArthur (R) is my rep and I almost hit the floor when I saw that he was the congressman that ran point and tried to resuscitate the repeal of Obamacare that McCain scuttled. This piece of garbage congressman is worth about $30 million so he has nothing to lose. Before MacArthur John Runyan the former football player who was, at one point, the highest paid lineman in the league, my congressman. I call MacArthur ‘s office often and give him hell. He is now running tv ads saying we should that for supporting tax reform that will save the average family $1200 a year. Wow a whole $100 a month tax saving, compared to the hundreds of thousands he will save. So I feel your pain living in progressive state but a conservative district.

[Plucketeer]

68. My hope is

that Nunes will get caught up in the ongoing investigations (which there's hints he already is) and won't be able to wash off the crap he gets splattered with. Fingers crossed anyways!

[Honeycombe8]

23. Wow. Mueller is REALLY serious. He has found some scary, serious sh*t in what he's seen.

So he is proceeding ahead like a juggernaut, going after criminals.

The Russians are EVERYWHERE throughout this administration and involved with the Republicans in Congress, too. You can't turn around without a Russian falling out of the woodwork. OMG. How long has this been going on?

[delisen]

32. I wonder how long the FBI investigated many of these people

but let it continue and just monitored.

Mueller may have been able to move fast because there is so much on file before his appointment.

Sater, for example, was an informant for years.

[delisen]

34. ad they all had a personal interest in seeing that H. Clinton,

Putin's enemy, be kept out of the Oval Office.

[Honeycombe8]

47. Yep. Without their interference, Election Day would've been like this past Tuesday. A sweep. nt

[FakeNoose]

69. It's scary when you realize that Mueller got the info from FBI Director Comey

At least some - if not most - of the leads that Mueller is working on now were already in the hands of Comey and the FBI when Mueller came on board.

Yes that's correct - Jim Comey had a lot of info on Trump before the election. He said nothing about any of it, meanwhile all he could talk about was investigating Hillary's emails. Complete radio silence about all the Russian collusion/vote hacking/money laundering/ and all the other shit that's coming out now.

How do you like that guy? Comey's not such a "saint" or "hero" after all. He claimed he couldn't talk about Trump's bad stuff because it was under investigation. But Hillary's bad stuff - the so-called hacked emails - he couldn't shut up about those, could he?

I believe Jim Comey has a lot to answer for, and he certainly violated the Hatch Act, if nothing else. Government employees cannot work to support or help any candidate during the election process. They must remain neutral and helpful to neither side.

[Honeycombe8]

71. It's not true that Comey "couldn't shut up about" HRC's email investigation.

He is not the one who informed the public about the investigation. It was revealed, I believe, because a Grand Jury had been convened before. So, being a simpler matter than foreign invasion by cyberwarfare and possible collusion, it had progressed quickly.

The FBI also didn't reveal the investigation into the Russian cyberhacking invasion and possible collusion. You might as well ask why Congress didn't reveal it, since at least the intel committees knew. Ask Schiff why he didn't reveal that.

The FBI of course doesn't reveal its investigations. Of course, if it gets to a point of Grand Jury testimony....it is revealed by default at that point.

Comey mentioned the Clinton investigation twice, that I recall. Once to announce the investigation was over, and he was recommending no charges. The next time was the infamous October surprise. He screwed up on that second time and shouldn't have done it.

[NBachers]

24. Oh, man, pour syrup all over this one!

How Sweet It Is!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

26. There's another disgusting GOP choad who belongs in an orange jumpsuit.

[Buns_of_Fire]

27. I wait for the day when one -- just ONE -- news organization

refers to him as "Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Moscow)".

[underthematrix]

28. The thing I find interesting is that Rohrbacher is clearly and

no one has ever mentioned that.

[Iliyah]

30. Nunes as well.

[NastyRiffraff]

31. Yes. I was just about to post that

Devin Nunes, COME ON DOWN!

[Enoki33]

66. Yes. Nunes has focused on covering for the traitor so many times

at the expense of his own credibility and career that there can be little doubt he has a personal stake that goes beyond financial.

[RayStar]

33. Lock them UP!

This is such good news.

[FirstLight]

36. ...as we all know

...THE ROT GOES DEEP AND TENDRILS EXTEND FAR...

This Cancer in our Govt will have to be excised, and it is going to hit folks we haven't even guessed about yet. I also bet there's some Dems involved.

I just hope it goes fast enough to protect our 2018 elections...

[orangecrush]

44. x 100

[delisen]

38. Rohrabacher finances are interesting

Supposedly he has a negative net worth of about minus $900,000. which may actually not still be that low-but he qualifies as one of the ten poorest representatives.

[FakeNoose]

70. He's taking money from Putin

So how does he declare that? He has to hide it somewhere, otherwise he's in trouble. He'll be outed eventually, but I'm sure he's got plenty of money stashed away, undeclared on his regular income.

All those guys are doing the same thing. Doesn't make it right though.

[Mrs. Overall]

39. YES!!

I've been waiting for this sweet news.

[GoCubsGo]

41. It was just a matter of time... n/t

[bluestarone]

56. i worry now

Mueller needs big time protection!!!! getting closer and closer. He's got a target on him big time now!!!

[xxqqqzme]

59. We have about 7 people

lined up running against dana. I hope this finishes him. I am so sick of this lazy bastard sucking up tax payers hard earned money.

[OregonBlue]

65. Wonder if Rohrabacher can give Mueller Nunes.

[concreteblue]

67. Merry Chreistmas!
