New post on South Carolina Liberty
Quick! Change the subject. President Trump's approval rating is moving upward past the 50% mark, the NORKS say they are contemplating denuclearization, the threat of future tariffs are bringing foreign negotiators to the table, Assad has just attacked his own civilians with poison gas, and despite the frantic efforts of CNN the Stormy Daniels scandal is fading and the Russian collusion theory is collapsing.
Suddenly independent prosecutor Robert Mueller suspects that a decade or so ago Trump's lawyer may have committed a Stormy Daniels related crime and raids his home, office, and hotel with appropriate leaks to the New York Times.
Mueller is about as independent as David Hogg the Florida school shooting stooge of the anti gun loonies from the just as "independent" anti gun left.

THE FBI ESCALATES ITS WAR ON THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION
From Powerline: BY JOHN HINDERAKER, APRIL 9, 2018
Scott wrote earlier about the FBI’s raid on the home and office of President Trump’s long-time lawyer, Michael Cohen. I want to add my own thoughts in a separate post.
News reports indicate that the FBI raid resulted, at least in part, from a referral by Robert Mueller. The subject of the raid included “payments to the former porn actress known as Stormy Daniels.” Good going, Bob–you were assigned to investigate non-existent collusion between the Trump presidential campaign and the Russians, and now you’re down to liaisons with porn performers.
Donald Trump allegedly spent one illicit evening with Ms. Daniels 12 years ago, when he was a private citizen. (Lacking personal knowledge, I assume the allegation is probably true.) That might be a big deal to Melania Trump, but to the rest of us it is utterly irrelevant. What makes the encounter “news” is the fact, acknowledged by Mr. Cohen, that he paid Daniels $130,000 for a non-disclosure agreement in October 2016. Such a payment is entirely legal and (relatively speaking) proper. I regard the claim that this payment was a “campaign contribution” as frivolous.
So here’s the situation: the Special Democratic Party Prosecutor and the Department of Justice, in the person of the FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s office for the Southern District of New York, have nothing better to do than investigate a 12-year-old, one-night consensual encounter involving Donald Trump. Apparently, actual crime in New York is a thing of the past. Organized crime is extinct; political corruption is non-existent; illegal immigration has ceased; violent crime is unknown. Stormy Daniels is the most pressing item on the law enforcement agenda.
It is blindingly obvious that this whole story, and the leak thereof, is a political attack on President Trump by the Democratic Party. There is only one serious question: Didn’t President Trump appoint the current Director of the FBI, Christopher Wray? And the Attorney General, Jeff Sessions? Yes, he did. So why is DOJ making war on the president?
The answer is that Trump and his appointees do not control the departments they ostensibly run. Liberals tell us that at DOJ, it is critically important that political appointees not interfere with the “career professionals” who do all the work. I say, bullshit. The “career professionals” are just Democratic Party lifers who have risen to the top of the bureaucracy, often by avoiding any actual, risky work. I’m not talking about FBI agents on the street, or the majority of Assistant U.S. Attorneys. (U.S. Attorneys, of course, are political appointees.) I’m talking about career bureaucrats like James Comey, Bob Mueller, Andy McCabe, and so on.
President Trump’s appointees absolutely should “interfere” with these Democratic Party operatives. They should order them to direct their efforts toward legitimate law enforcement ends, not toward Democratic Party activism. Those who refuse should be fired.
We are witnessing, as Scott says, “a political death struggle with the authorities operating under [President Trump’s] nominal control.” President Trump and his loyal appointees need to assert the powers that the voters have given them.
