Since the raid of President Trumps personal attorney, likely voter support for the Mueller investigation has dropped 14 points according to Rasmussen.

46% now see the Mueller investigation as honest. Down 6 points from a week ago.

40% now see the Mueller investigation as a witch-hunt up 8 points from a week ago.

14% are undecided.

mostly because they are so far outside their scope isn't funny.

had they kept to their scope instead of a fishing expedition then this wouldn't be an issue and the investigation would have had plenty of support.
I had no issue with it till mueller started going off the reservation.

now all it looks like is they are trying to find anything and everything so can can attempt an impeachment of an legally elected president simply because
some politicians and higher powers don't like him.

tough crap. there have been a lot of unpopular presidents in the past.
Washington wasn't that popular, neither was lincoln at the times they were in office.

had he stuck to the russian and obstruction charges he would have been fine.

Leave it to Breitbart to be completely dishonest.

Mueller didn't raid anything.

Unbelievable how delusional Trump supporters are.
 
Why do you report anything "according to Rasmussen".
 
mostly because they are so far outside their scope isn't funny.
Fine, show me the entire scope. (it's readily available on the internet in a limited version)
Show us specific actions by Mueller that go outside of that scope. (again, readily available if it exists)

This should be easy for you to back your claim and convince us all with your stick of truth.

Actually he is sticking to those charges. The raid was conducted by the local US Attorney who will be handling this case because it's outside Mueller's scope. :mrgreen:

took me 5 seconds.

In fact, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein's letter appointing special counsel Robert Mueller does not give Mueller broad, far-reaching powers in this investigation. He is only authorized to investigate matters that involved any potential links to and coordination between two entities -- the Trump campaign and the Russian government. People are wrongly pointing to, and taking out of context, the phrase "any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation" to characterize special counsel's authority as broad.
The word "investigation" is clearly defined directly preceding it in the same sentence specifically as coordination between individuals associated with the campaign of Donald Trump and Russia. The Trump Organization's business dealings are plainly not within the scope of the investigation, nor should they be.

Indeed, Sunday on Fox News, Rod Rosenstein acknowledged Mueller had limited authority and would need to seek his permission to expand the investigation.

Rosenstein should act to ensure the investigation is within its jurisdiction and within the authority of the original directive.

not that you care about that.

Of course that's what you saw...because it's a RASMUSSEN REPORT...and Rasmussen has been shown to skew strongly to the right since the Bush years. One reason they skew so strongly to the right is that they usually don't call cell phones but only call landlines, which means that they don't talk at all to the majority of millenials (and even the boomers like myself) who don't have landlines.
 
took me 5 seconds.
You failed to show me his scope for the investigation. Please try again.
Hint: It's the order from Rosenstein that provides the scope of the investigation. And the memo we now have (in response to Manafort) evidences that some of it is not released to the public (!).

Why can you not post the source of his scope, it's such a simple request?

Then just cite the speific actions Mueller took outside that scope, and/or the improper approval by Rosenstein.

Your article was basically some other nutter wring the dumbest opinion piece I have read this year. Please try to make sense, no one asked for you to appeal to some opinion piece from some *other* moron.

Indeed, Sunday on Fox News, Rod Rosenstein acknowledged Mueller had limited authority and would need to seek his permission to expand the investigation.

Rosenstein is correct, and he has done his job. That Rosenstein didn't do what Fox/Hannity/Trump wanted, is coincidental.
 
Actually he is sticking to those charges. The raid was conducted by the local US Attorney who will be handling this case because it's outside Mueller's scope. :mrgreen:

yet it came from mueller on something unrelated to russia or obstruction.

as i figured ignore the article posted so you can continue your meme.
the scope was in the article i didn't expect you to be honest just like you can't
quote me properly.

have a nice day come back when you can actually be honest which will probably be a while.

Again, please detail the scope of Muller's order to back your claim that he's outside the scope.
Also, as it's logically necessary, provide the actions Mueller took that brought him outside the scope.

Copy/paste those things to evidence your claim,and link the source. It's that easy. Even a monkey can do it. You apparently are refusing to because you know you lost, and are lying.

Actually, it came from Rosenstein. Mueller found evidence of a possible crime outside the scope of his own investigation. Rather than ignore it, he took it to his supervisor, as was proper. Rosenstein gave the case to the US attorney for the Southern District of New York who then got a search warrant and conducted the raid.

i just posted it for you in the orginial post you should do read it instead of ingoring it.

you should read the link it explains how he is outside his scope.
i see you didn't read that why is that?

Unbelievable how delusional Trump supporters are.
Actually, it's not unbelievable at all.

His supporters are some of the easiest people to play on planet Earth. They are so unaware of what is reason and reality, it's actually comedic.

As long as whatever you want them to believe is framed in the context of a liberal conspiracy, and conservatives are the "victims" in the story, they'll believe pretty much anything, no matter how insane and ludicrous it sounds.

Did you read the completely ignorant and dishonest start to that Breitbart crap:

Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s raid on President Trump’s personal attorney Michael Cohen has backfired in the eyes of voters, according to Rasmussen Reports.

How much do you want to bet that idiots who read that online rag actually believe that Mueller raided Cohen?

I am shaking my head at the sheer ignorance of adults in the country. God help us.

not that you care about that.

This has been explained to you over and over again here. Since Rosenstein has to OK all lines of inquiry, everything Mueller has done has been within the 'jurisdiction' of the investigation as per Rosenstein's initial authorization, no doubt because everything Mueller's been investigating has it's nexus with the Russians.

Completely basic, ground school level stuff here, but you keep tilting at those windmills if you need to.
 
Ludin still hasn't shown the documented, public scope (acknowledging some of it Rosenstein reserved from the public)?
Or which specific actions Muller has taken that "go so far outside" that scope?

I guess I better watch Fox news, they must be evidencing all the stuff they claim. Right?

LOL, stop dodging the challenge.

You have been asked to post the parameters granted Mueller as special prosecutor by the DOJ.

You have, thus far, only posted an OP/ED expressing the OPINIONS of a well-known right wing Republican pundit.

Sorry, but stories on Breitbart and polls from Rasssmusen aren't credible. They only serve as proof of the mindset and ideology of those who read and trust them.

In reality, polls show a sizable majority of the public SUPPORTS the Mueller investigation and want it to continue.

Any reference to a "poll" that says "according to Rasmussen" can be immediately flushed in the proper receptacle along with the other of the same type.
