Of Course Trump v. Mueller Has A Golf Component

Back in July, 2017 a few White House sources suggested to a team of Washington Post reporters that there was a fee dispute dating to 2011 when former FBI Director and now Special Prosecuter Robert Mueller left Trump National Washington D.C.

Now in Michael Schmidt and Maggie Haberman's New York Times story on President Donald Trump's order to fire Mueller last June only to be stopped by White House counsel, the purported fee dispute was among the primary reasons the President cited for firing Mueller.

First, he claimed that a dispute years ago over fees at Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Va., had prompted Mr. Mueller, the F.B.I. director at the time, to resign his membership. The president also said Mr. Mueller could not be impartial because he had most recently worked for the law firm that previously represented the president’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner. Finally, the president said, Mr. Mueller had been interviewed to return as the F.B.I. director the day before he was appointed special counsel in May.

Quite telling that our Fake President’s claims of Mueller’s conflicts of interest are so laughable. McGahn is no truth hero, but simply too smart to make himself complicit in Fake Prexy’s crimes.

Only a pathological liar like a Trump could come up with an absurd excuse like that. Oh well, it’s only January, another 2-3000 more lies to come this year, unless he is removed from office before then. However, one cannot rely on the complicit Republicans to act with integrity.

It isn't a question of losers and haters, or MAGA-bys.

It is that We have been infiltrated by a foreign government- and AN ENEMY at that- Bobby G.-are your stock prices worth the total deception that we have been dealt in the last several years, where a man has sold out his country for the sake of his personal loans?

we have experienced a digital trojan horse, and not a simple computer virus, but a country attacking us thru the internet, and thru having a patsy elected by massive propaganda.

I could go on, but you just think i hate- I don't hate donnie- just his treasonable acts. ~dig~

You people must believe everything negative you read about Trump. I'm no big fan but I'm not foolish enough to listen to the times articles. I am far more depressed by the reaction to this president than I am by his actions. Fools hang on every rumor so they can jump all over him.
You people are pitiful.
