Another MAGA Jobs Report

Another very encouraging jobs report, with just one quibble - if the job market is so tight, why aren't wages rising? One factor - formerly discouraged workers are re-entering the work force (good!) but that holds down wage increases and actually raised the reported unemployment rate this month.

Tick tock. Democrats hoping for a bad economy to bolster their inevitable Blue Wave might want to start working on a fresh fantasy.

Labor Participation up to 62.9 from 62.7 last report.

I'll just leave it that I'm very perplexed about what Mueller's up to because sloppy filings in a big money operation with experienced prosecutors, no matter what I think about their character, make no sense.

Congrats on taking a small step towards accepting the possibility that whatever Mueller is doing may not be what almost everyone assumes he is doing.

Combine that with the news from yesterday that Mueller is bringing on more DOJ and FBI employees into the investigation to work on something completely unrelated to the Russian collusion case and whatever they are working on is where the majority of the money is getting spent on.

If the bulk of the investigation has nothing to do with Russian collusion then what is Mueller investigating?

Just got to this on catch-up via the linked Gateway Pundit story, but haven't read any of the new text messages just released between Strzok-Page, so I suppose the question of if they're corrupt as hell as well as dumb remains to be answered.

Paul Sperry
@paulsperry_
BREAKING: In an 11/3/16 doc, Strzok created a fake timeline of the Weiner email recovery in order to leave a misleading record for the file, after the fact, for the purpose of CYA & getting everyone in Comey's inner circle on same page. (Similar to Rice's 1/20/17 email to self.)
7:22 PM - Jul 5, 2018

I did see that Gowdy last night said if you have to pay attention to one hearing, pay attention to the one they had last week where he was able to question Strzok for 11 hours instead of the upcoming one where he'll only get to question him for 5 minutes. Gowdy also said he plans to do the same to Page---question her at long length behind closed doors, then make the same demand that she appear in public to testify in 5 minute Congressional Kabuki soundbites. I believe it was in the interview where Gowdy said that no Republican gives a damn what Adam Schiff thinks.

[Tom R]

Is that what was reported? Something completely unrelated? Was that based on a statement or filing from Mueller's office?

It's an inference based on the assumption that Mueller's original team of prosecutors are working the Russian collusion investigation while the extra DOJ/FBI personnel being brought into the investigation are working "any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation.”

This article is where I got the info the extra DOJ/FBI personnel are spending more money than the original Mueller team.

Things spun off from Mueller... aka the guys doublingeuller’s team on Manafort and the team on Cohen’s taxi fraud? Perhaps a preemptive defense of wrongful prosecution in the Russian company indictments for ads on FB? Is there room for anything else?

[Extraneus]

That Bloomberg piece contains a fair amount of b.s.

I think we laughed at this one yesterday:

None of the targets are in the U.S., but one of them, the Internet Research Agency, has forced Mueller into another legal fight in federal court.

They "forced" him to indict them and then show up in court with the evidence?

Here's another:

Mueller has already handed off one major investigation -- into Trump’s personal lawyer, Michael Cohen -- to the Southern District of New York.

What's so "major" about bullying a victim to get to Trump? Do they have something "major" on Cohen?

How about this?

Mueller is dealing with the legal battles as he considers whether to subpoena Trump for an interview and as he accelerates his investigation into potential collusion.

He's "accelerating" the perjury trap?

The first -- and perhaps biggest -- court case for Mueller is over his indictment of Trump’s former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, for an array of financial crimes.

None of which have anything to do with the election.

Tom R:

I'll repeat what I said to CH.

If the bulk of the investigation has nothing to do with Russian collusion then what is Mueller investigating?

I'm pretty convinced at this point whatever Mueller is doing doesn't have anything to do with Trump. The Horowitz IG report pretty much completely exonerates Trump from a potential obstruction of justice charge and clearly indicates how corrupt the DOJ/FBI under Obama was. What could Mueller possibly do at this point to go after Trump?

[daddy]

Speaking of the Trapped Thai kids and the blossoming efforts to get them out, do you guys recall a movie from the 50's with I think Burt Reynolds wherein some miner is trapped and Burt capitalizes on rescuing him by taking charge and turning it into some huge media production he makes bug bucks off,, but then screws up since the miner dies? I can't find that flick and I may have the wrong actor.

Regardless, lets hope Elon Musk or whomever has better luck rescuing the boys than Burt.

[RattlerGator]

Brainiac, Mueller in the role of Fitzgerald is a nonstarter -- isn't it? Who of consequence buys that nonsense these days? Certainly not the President. Without a scared Prez, do we really have to worry about Mueller?

Isn't it the other side that has to *really* worry about Mueller ???

Still, these *are* frustrating days. There's no doubt about it. I haven't read this site in what seems like weeks but I know damn well the Awan plea didn't go down well here without my verifying that suspicion at all.

But the President is engaged and not shying away from the fight at all. Pruitt unfortunately steps down from the EPA and someone as appalling or moreso to the environmental lobby is put in charge.

That'll learn 'em -- sooner or later, that'll learn 'em.

The only other time I recall anyone going through a shredding machine and splicing back together shredded messages like Mueller's Agents have apparently down to Cohen's shredding machine, is when the Bhurka clad women during the Iranian Revolution did the same trick with the US Embassy's shredded documents after the American Embassy had been overrun and taken by the Islamic militants..

Nice tactic.

Mueller has more spin offs than Happy Days.

[Extraneus]

I'm pretty convinced at this point whatever Mueller is doing doesn't have anything to do with Trump.

I'm pretty convinced that Mueller is a hitman and Trump is his target.

He has nothing, but hopes against hope that something will come up while he pays his gang $400/hr or so each to dig through confiscated files and other materials, including the Trump transition emails and documents, which he had no right to get.

Think about that. The 13 Angry Dems acquired the Trump transition team's emails and documents.

He's bullying Trumps former personal attorney, former campaign manager, and former National Security Advisor. He bullied Flynn into pleading guilty to a non-crime by threatening Flynn's son. He's not bullying anyone else but Trump associates.

Ergo, there's no evidence pointing to any motives other than to get Trump and to discourage others from associating with him.

I hope Trump ends up destroying him.

Manafort's lawyers confirm he is in solitary confinement for his own personal safety and that he hasn't made any requests for that restriction to be removed.

Eye Doctor's characterization of Mueller as a political fixer for deep state is apt. A fixer may work in a whirlwind at times. At other times, the fixer will be patient. Mueller is patiently attempting to build criminal cases that will make life hell for Trump and his family. Trump's success as POTUS and increasing popularity make Mueller's task even more important to the deep state. We are in for a wild ride.

A plurality in this Harvard-Harris poll disapproved of Trump’s handling of immigration. The constant, blatant lying about family separation had an effect.

But 70 percent said they want stricter enforcement of immigration laws; 64 percent said those who cross the border illegally should be sent home, and 60 percent support “a combination of physical and electronic barriers across the U.S-Mexico border.” (AKA, “the Wall.”)
