Mueller blocks congressional oversight of FBI involvement in Trump Surveillance

Because that oversight is sure to reveal the opposite of what Mueller is after. Because that oversight will reveal that FBI has become a rogue politicized agency. Because Mueller is covering his own butt.

So who made Mueller the boss of us? How can one man given authority for one investigation throw the blanket over the entire congress and keep it from looking at the activities of FBI, the IRS and the DOJ? This reeks of desperate megalomaniac overreach. Something is too precious to have exposed. Something too damaging.

From The Conservative Treehouse, Sundance writes that while Reuters reports on DOJ and FBI refusing to provide documents related to the Steele Dossier on Donald Trump as candidate and on James Comey's involvement in assembling its content, they buried the more important part.
Law enforcement and congressional officials said that the Justice Department and the FBI were reluctant to comply with the demand for documents as the FBI had its own probe, under the supervision of Special Counsel Robert Mueller, into U.S. allegations of Russian meddling in the 2016 campaign to tilt the November election in Trump’s favor.
Mueller is using his own investigation into bogus charges on Trump and Russia to conceal genuine malfeasance of three important government departments.

The FBI is protecting itself from inquiry into its own unlawful activities. The FBI is investigating an issue that the FBI itself is an original participating entity. Sundance writes that refusing to allow investigative oversight into actions taken by the FBI takes conflict of interest concerns to stratospheric levels. That when you take into account Mueller's blocking oversight into potentially illegal action of FBI with previous actions of DOJ relating to IRS targeting then you get a picture of weaponized FBI apparatus avoiding accountability.

Sundance uses florid language that I don't want to steal, but I sure would like to.

Sundance then elaborates at length on IRS and FBI collusion and the DOJ refusal to prosecute IRS officials engaged in illegal targeting. We already know all this but he summarizes it beautifully. Then he asks, how can DOJ conduct an investigation into all that when DOJ is the initiating body for the illegality they were seeking to investigate?

Robert Mueller is following a pattern of FBI and DOJ action to hide the unlawful behavior of FBI and DOJ leadership.

You must go to Conservative Treehouse to see Sundance's amusing photograph of a highly suspicious cat and his even more amusing assertion of mental stability and his denial of any disposition toward self-harm and his testament that his vehicle is up to date on its scheduled maintenance, and that there are no environmental dangers to function of life that present hazard to the author.

I'll just bet he wants to suppress what he's found.

Sounds like Mueller's uncovering more incriminating evidence on the Choom Gang and the Ozark Mafia.

This is absurd! Mueller doesn't get to say whether Congress conducts oversight. This is the GOP establishment looking the other way because it serves their purposes.

As I said a week or so ago; the amazing thing is the silence from the GOP. I get the media's silence, but you'd think the GOP would be smart enough to know how close they are to this coup putting them up against the wall.
