Does Mueller Have an October Surprise? americanthinker.com/articles/2018/… via @AmericanThinker

Larence Walsh in 1960, was a Deputy AG

Given 6 years and an unlimited budget, Walsh indicted 6 former Reagan officials on dubious and evergreen perjury and obstruction charges-- none served any prison time and all were later pardoned.

2 others, Oliver North and John Poindexter, were convicted on a number of counts, but both had all convictions overturned on appeal.

There was never anything after 6 years of painstaking and dogged investigation linking the then Vice-President George H.W. Bush to Iran-Contra

In June of 1992, a presidential election year, Walsh indicted Caspar Weinberger, Reagan’s former Sec of Defense, on 2 counts of perjury and one count of obstruction of justice. In September, the obstruction of justice count was dismissed for technical and jurisprudence reasons.

Yet, on October 30, 1992, four days before the election, Walsh filed a reindictment of Weinberger on one count of making a false statement.

In the reindictment Walsh included, for the first time, notes from Weinberger’s diary that briefly mentioned George Bush’s attendance at a meeting that appeared to contradict something Bush had previously said, but not in a way that was meaningful or had any legal significance.

Further, the reindictment was filed after the statute of limitations had expired, as a judge later ruled, and should never have been filed or made public.

In late October 1992 the polls were tightening dramatically pointing to a Bush victory despite the presence of Ross Perot.

In a suspicious turn of events, on October 28th, Bill Clinton reversed his campaign tactics and began to aggressively accuse George Bush of being an inveterate liar and maliciously untrustworthy.

Not coincidentally, two days later the reindictment of Weinberger and the fleeting mention of Bush in his diary was made public.

That same evening during a live appearance on Larry King’s show Bush was confronted with the Weinberger reindictment reference and his supposed prevarications as King had pre-arranged for @GStephanopoulos , Clinton’s pet dog and communications director, to call into the show.

Thus, the story was national front-page news the next day.

Lawrence Walsh disingenuously feigned cluelessness in his memoirs attempting to convince others that he thought the Bush reference in Weinberger’s diary would not be newsworthy but that he was astonished how his inadvertence affected the outcome of an election.

Fast forward to today. Based on his insistence that Trump testify in what is obviously a perjury trap, the innumerable leaks emanating from Mueller’s office, the conviction of Manafort on unrelated charges and the coerced guilty plea by Cohen again on unrelated charges...

...Robert Mueller appears to have a much greater animus toward Donald Trump than Lawrence Walsh toward Ronald Reagan or George Bush.

While Reagan was disliked by the Washington Establishment (Bush less so), Trump is loathed not only by the Washington Establishment but by almost the entirety of the media/entertainment complex.

Therefore, Mueller has at his disposal a veritable army of like-minded foot soldiers prepared, on a strategically timed basis, to promote leaks, false stories and innuendos as well as the fine print in any indictment or plea bargain.

2 week or less before 11/6/18, Mueller can do what Walsh did and imbed an implication of wrongdoing by Trump in an indictment or, as has already happened, a plea bargain, such as the Michael Cohen coerced guilty plea. Which was done solely to implicate and embarrass Trump

Further, Mueller’s henchmen could, in collusion with the many willing accomplices in the Democratic Party and the media, plant a series of dubious leaks and incriminatory insinuations about Trump or his campaign.

There would not be enough time for the Trump administration to successfully refute the incessant media drumbeat of scandal as every Republican candidate for Congress would be forced to answer for the charges. Thereby shifting the advantage to their Democrat opponents.

The fact that Mueller did not wrap up the investigation prior to Labor Day and displays no intention of doing so in the near future insinuates the very real possibility that he or his Dem prosecutors may will make a play to rid the nation of Trump and the Republican Congress.

There is little doubt that this strategy has been thought of and is being contemplated by the diehard anti-Trump cabal within the Ruling Class.

Therefore, if the Mueller team has not issued a final report on alleged Russian collusion by mid-September, Trump, individual GOP candidates and well as the RNC...

... must go on an unbridled offensive relentlessly alerting the citizenry to the very real possibility of sabotage and collusion by pointing to history and the behavior to date of the Mueller inquisitors.
