LIKE A SIEVE: Here is the Exhaustive List of Illegal Leaks by Robert Mueller’s "Very Special" Counsel

The usual suspects of hack media propagandists and Democrats -- but I repeat myself -- have cheerled the meme that the fraudulently composed Mueller investigation has been "leak-free".

Let's set the record straight here, recognizing I will shortly be shadow-banned by Twitter, Facebook, and Match.com.

Mueller reviewing Trump's tweets as part of obstruction investigation: report
Special counsel Robert Mueller is reviewing President Trump’s tweets as he pursues an investigation into whether the president obstructed justice, The New York Times reported Thursday. The Times, citing three people briefed on the matter, reported that Mueller is particularly interested in Trump’s tweets about Attorney General Jeff Sessions, former FBI Director James Comey and former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.
Mueller questions to Trump leak, wants to know if POTUS obstructed justice
Questions which special counsel Robert Mueller wants to ask President Trump have been leaked to The New York Times. The investigator wants to inquire about whether Trump obstructed justice, whether he was aware of Russia's interference in the 2016 election, and the firings of Michael Flynn and James Comey among other things.
Mueller probe leaks word of impending indictments
“In the only conversation I’ve had with Robert Mueller, I stressed to him the importance of cutting out the leaks,” Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., told “Fox News Sunday” after news of impending indictments in Mueller’s probe was leaked last October. “It’s kind of ironic that the people charged with investigating the law and the violations of the law would violate the law.”
And, courtesy of WJLA, here are an additional 25 leaks about the Mueller investigation and the problems they may cause:

  • October 27, 2017: "Sources briefed on the matter" told CNN that the first charges in Mueller’s investigation had been filed under seal. The following Monday, charges were unsealed Manafort and campaign aide Robert Gates, as well as a guilty plea by former adviser George Papadopoulos.

  • January 2, 2018: A source detailed the physical characteristics, clothing, race, and gender of grand jury members to the New York Post and alleged that the grand jury room “looks like a Bernie Sanders rally.”
  • February 17, 2018: CNN cited anonymous sources stating that Gates was close to negotiating a plea deal with Mueller and that new charges against Manafort were being prepared.

  • April 30, 2018: The New York Times obtained a list of questions Mueller wanted to ask Trump. According to the Times, the list was prepared by Trump’s attorneys after speaking to investigators but it was not given to reporters by Trump's legal team.

The Mueller probe was conceived in illegal activities, consists of illegal activities, and should be prosecuted for illegal activities.

And what Mueller and his band of Democrat hacks don't seem to understand is that, should they attempt to remove President Trump from office by any means, they will be crossing their own, personal Rubicons.

  1. Thank you for the historical outline of Deep State transgressions via Mueller (deep state stooge). It will make their trial for Treason that much easier to conduct...

  2. Unable to find anything criminal to pin on Trump, the incessant leaks at least serve to cast innuendo on Trump, thereby proving that this investigation is nothing more than a political coup by 'other means'.

  3. Add another leak to the list, from ABC, citing unnamed sources:
