Last week, the FBI raided the office of President Trump’s personal lawyer Michael Cohen.
The unprecedented move included seizing of records and communications about a $130,000 payment he allegedly made to “Stormy Daniels,” a porn star who claims to have had an affair with Trump. Certainly an odd choice for a Special Counsel probe that’s supposed to be investigating Russian collusion.
Since the FBI’s counterintelligence probe into the Trump campaign began in July 2016, until now, with it passed off into the hands of Mueller’s Special Counsel, it’s been nearly two years, and still no smoking gun. If collusion with the Russian government was so common from the Trump campaign (and administration), wouldn’t investigators have found something by now?
As it drags on, it appears the probe is devolving into a criminal investigation of Trump and anyone associated with him. Everyone charged thus far (Rick Gates, Paul Manafort, and George Papadopoulos) has found themselves in trouble for crimes that have nothing to do with Russian collusion. Gates and Manafort were charged with tax evasion and money laundering, and Papadopoulos with making false statements to the FBI.
It’s a witch hunt, and the public is finally starting to see it that way.
According to Rasmussen:
Following Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s invasion of the office and home of President Trump’s personal lawyer, voters increasingly believe Mueller’s probe is politically biased. But they also tend to think he is unlikely to nail the president for anything criminal.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 46% of Likely U.S. Voters still believe Mueller’s investigation is an honest attempt to determine criminal wrongdoing, but that’s down from 52% last October. Forty percent (40%) now consider Mueller’s probe a partisan witch hunt, an eight-point increase from 32% in the earlier survey. Fourteen percent (14%) are undecided.
And the longer this Counsel drags on, the more people are going to see it for what it really is.
