[JustTheNews] Mueller was special counsel for the Russia probe that took place during the first Trump administration
Former FBI director Robert Mueller has died, according to reports on Saturday.
Mueller was appointed special counsel for the Russia 2016 election interference investigation that took place during the first Trump administration.
Mueller, 81, had investigated whether the 2016 Trump campaign colluded with Russia.
Trump reacted to the death on Truth Social.
"Robert Mueller just died. Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!" he wrote.
Mueller's final report on the Russia probe was released in 2019, which was the third year of Trump's four-year first term.

FBI Misled Court To Spy on Second Trump Campaign Adviser [RCI] Carter Page wasn’t the only adviser from Trump’s first campaign wiretapped by the FBI. Walid Phares was electronically monitored for a 12-month period between 2017 and 2018, according to the Washington-based FBI agent who was assigned to investigate him as part of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia collusion probe.
As in Page’s case, the bureau withheld evidence exonerating Phares from the court to secure surveillance authorization, according to newly declassified FBI documents.
"I had no idea any of this was happening," Phares told RealClearInvestigations in an exclusive interview Wednesday night. "This is shocking because they told my lawyer that I was only a ’witness’ and that they just needed some information."
"But these were huge abuses that I can see now," he added. Phares said he intends to sue the FBI and Justice Department for damages.
The 68-year-old Lebanese-American scholar said case agents and prosecutors grilled him for months, questioned his employer, and even went after his bank records. As a result, he said he lost his job at a university, his livelihood, and even his bank accounts and credit card after Wells Fargo cancelled them.
"It was like a disaster for me financially and physically," he said. "I also lost my Fox News contract" as an expert on terrorism and the Middle East, which he had held since 2007.

@1 I forget where I read it, but apparently Mueller was in no shape mentally or physically to testify or stand trial and he would have been declared mentally incompetent

Again I suggest a MANDATORY independently conducted, semi-annual mental health check of all Government elected and appointed persons be instituted.

A lot of people recently commented on how @megynkelly has a rule on her show that her guests aren’t allowed to attack Tucker Carlson.
The reason for this is because Megyn and @TuckerCarlson’s shows are both run by Red Seat Ventures, which is now ironically owned by Fox Corp, which owns Fox News.
Red Seat Ventures wants to have a monopoly over all conservative podcasting, which is why Tucker and Megyn have a vested interest in attacking all of the conservative competition in Independent media.
It’s ironic that Fox Corp now owns Red Seat Ventures. In a sense, the toxic culture and anti-American and anti-Jewish rhetoric coming out of their shows is attributable to Fox Corp.
It appears that the commentators who push the most deranged Jew hate and Islamic sympathizing content are all partnered with Red Seat Ventures.

[ZERO] The unelected House of Lords in the UK has just voted to embed extreme abortion provisions into law, decriminalising terminations right up to birth. This comes despite clear polling evidence that only 1% of the British public supports the move, exposing a ruling class utterly detached from the people it claims to serve.
The change forms part of Clause 208 in the Crime and Policing Bill. It removes criminal liability for a woman acting in relation to her own pregnancy at any stage, meaning self-induced abortions — even late-term — carry no legal consequences.
The disconnect could not be starker. As GB News reported: "Just 1% of the public agree with this... and yet it has now made it into law."
'Just 1% of the public agree with this... and yet it has now made it into law.'@miriam_cates and @toryboypierce rail against peers in the House of Lords backing abortions up until birth.
[CaliforniaGlobe] Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, a leading 2026 Republican gubernatorial candidate, held a press conference Friday morning to expose what he described as repeated attempts by Attorney General Rob Bonta
…California’s top legal beagle — if he isn’t in the Soros stable, they’e getting a freebie…
to intimidate and derail his office’s investigation into a massive 45,896-ballot discrepancy in the November 2025 Proposition 50 special election.
Bianco detailed a stunning mismatch uncovered through an audit of handwritten logs maintained by the Riverside County Registrar of Voters: county records show just 611,428 ballots cast. Yet Secretary of State Shirley Weber certified 657,322 votes to the state — a gap neither Bonta nor Weber has ever publicly questioned or investigated.
“This investigation is very simple,” Bianco stated. “Our investigation will determine the validity of that alleged discrepancy… We will do that by physically counting the ballots. This is not a recount to determine how many votes were for or against Prop 50.”

Time and Time again it has been shown those that make up what is called the Democrat party have used voter fraud, a civil rights felony violation to seize power.
When will the actual upper level controlling leaders be arrested, put public trial and addressed appropriately?
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A millionaire tech mogul has launched an unlikely bid for Nancy Pelosi's coveted congressional seat, but the stacked primary has proved challenging as he reportedly struggles to resonate with constituents.
Saikat Chakrabarti, 40,
…fired for getting caught funneling $1.2 million from AOC’s campaign to his own LLC…
initially threw his hat in the ring against the former Speaker of the House, until Pelosi announced last November that she would not seek re-election.
Now Chakrabarti faces two challengers for the open seat, both of whom have fostered careers in local San Francisco politics.
Meanwhile, Chakrabarti has ruffled some feathers after he received the endorsement of famous drag queen Peaches earlier this week.
The two shared a video on Thursday, announcing a joint Get Out the Vote and drag show event called Drag Me to Vote on April 4.
In another video, Peaches explained why she endorsed Chakrabarti, writing on Instagram: 'San Francisco has a rare opportunity right now.
'This congressional race will decide whether we keep accepting business as usual or whether we send someone to Washington willing to actually challenge the systems that created the crises we’re living through.'
The endorsement received some backlash online, with commenters accusing Chakrabarti of not focusing on the issues at hand affecting locals in the Bay Area.
Unlike his challengers, Chakrabarti lacks political experience in the city he is running to represent.
He became a tech millionaire for his work as a software engineer at the payment processing company, Stripe.
Chakrabarti then pivoted from technology to politics, working on Senator Bernie Sanders' 2016 presidential campaign and serving as chief of staff to Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Wiener capitalized on Chakrabarti's wealth and inexperience in San Francisco, launching an attack ad criticizing him for using his money to fund his campaign while touting that he does not take corporate funds.
'My opponent is using his vast personal wealth to try to buy a seat in Congress. I’m not worth hundreds of millions like he is, but what I do have is decades of real experience delivering for San Francisco,' Wiener wrote on social media earlier this month.
'Being hyper-rich can buy you a lot of things, but it shouldn’t be able to buy you an election.'
[ZERO] BLUF: Early Saturday morning, Elon Musk, closely tracking the DHS funding lapse, wrote on X that he would personally pay the salaries of TSA agents to get them back to airports and help avert further chaos.
"I would like to offer to pay the salaries of TSA personnel during this funding impasse that is negatively affecting the lives of so many Americans at airports throughout the country," Musk said.
Elon Musk, a great American and former South African.

Nice of Elon Musk, thank you for stepping up sir, but I like Trump's proposed (threatened) solution better.

Musk money, ICE, National Guard, private security funded by the airlines (a modest charge added to the ticketing). TSA employee 'no tax' tipping. TSA employee food banks at the airport. 'No bag' fast lanes.

It's not likely he's constitutionally able to write a check to fund Gubbamint ops (other than Zuckerbucks for votes). It's a great poke in the eye at the Dems and prying travelers and TSA staff away as PR. I like it.

Why dont the airlines cover the tab in the interim?
[Federalist] Sen. Lisa Murkowski, maybe the best Republican the Democrats have ever had, doesn’t want to waste her time with such inconsequential things as election integrity, particularly making sure noncitizens don’t vote in U.S. elections. So what’s important to the Alaska RINO? Why, "Native Hawaiian women," of course.
That’s the resolution Murkowski proudly lobbied for in the Senate this week as she works with Democrats to kill the SAVE America Act. Senate Resolution 650, which recognizes "the heritage, culture, and contributions of American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian women in the United States."
You’ll be glad to know that Murkowski’s priority was considered Wednesday and agreed to without amendment and with a preamble by unanimous consent. Just like that.
The republic is saved!
Murkowski has said she won’t support the voter verification bill, anyway. The Republican has been a perfect Democrat on the subject, using the same inane and false fearmongering arguments as the left has in her opposition to legislation whose key component is supported by north of 80 percent of Americans.
She’s not alone though. As the Republicans in the Senate continue to hold the floor for what could be a lengthy debate on the SAVE America Act, the banal business of the august upper house goes on.

Is Murkowski doing what Alaskans want?
https://redlineheadlines.com/murkowski-floats-citizenship-exemption/
Both sides of the political spectrum expect their Congress Creatures to jump on the party bandwagon and support whatever the party leadership wants. There are those on the Left who have been very angry at Fetterman for crossing the party line and both voting with Republicans on certain issues and speaking out in support of what Trump is doing in the Middle East.
And I am not a fan of Murkowski, but Alaska is a bit weird politically.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Donald Trump has threatened to send Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to US airports as early as Monday as the partial government shutdown rages on.
TSA agents have been left without pay, causing airports across the country to devolve into chaos during peak spring break travel seasons.
In a heated social media post, the president threatened Democrats who refused to pass funding for ICE and end the shutdown, reinstating pay for TSA.
'The Radical Left Democrats have hurt so many people with their vicious and uncaring ways. What they have done to the Department of Homeland Security, our fantastic TSA Officers, and, most importantly, the great people of our Country, is an absolute disgrace,' he wrote.
'If the Democrats do not allow for Just and Proper Security at our Airports, and elsewhere throughout our Country, ICE will do the job far better than ever done before! The Fascist Democrats will never protect America, but the Republicans will. Just like the Radical Left allowed millions of Criminals to pour into our Country through their ridiculous and dangerous Open Border Policy, the Republicans closed it all down, and we now have the Strongest Border in American History.
'Likewise, I look forward to moving ICE in on Monday, and have already told them to, “GET READY.” NO MORE WAITING, NO MORE GAMES!'
Trump originally threatened to send ICE to airports earlier Saturday morning.
He wrote on Truth Social: 'If the Radical Left Democrats don’t immediately sign an agreement to let our Country, in particular, our Airports, be FREE and SAFE again, I will move our brilliant and patriotic ICE Agents to the Airports where they will do Security like no one has ever seen before.'
'Including the immediate arrest of all Illegal Immigrants who have come into our Country, with heavy emphasis on those from Somalia, who have totally destroyed, with the approval of a corrupt Governor, Attorney General, and Congresswoman, Ilhan Omar, the once Great State of Minnesota,' he added.
'I look forward to seeing ICE in action at our airports.'
KATU reported that there may be legal and logistical barriers to immigration agents taking on traditional airport screening roles.
The Senate is expected to vote on a measure reinstating funding to TSA on Saturday. It seems that if it fails to come to an agreement, Trump could release ICE onto airports nationwide.
Funding for the Department of Homeland Security expired on February 14 after the Senate failed to agree on a new budget. The agency oversees both TSA and ICE.
Meanwhile, ICE agents are still being paid, reported the American Prospect.
Though department funding was cut, Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act allocated $175 billion to immigration and border patrol agencies.
On the Senate floor, Chuck Schumer said TSA needs to reopen as quickly as possible — but not under the terms Republicans are offering, which is to fund the entire Homeland Security department.
Democrats are looking to fund TSA while continuing negotiations on Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Wait times to pass security have stretched to more than two hours in some airports around the US after TSA workers’ pay was stopped, causing staffing shortages.
Workers will be forced to continue working without pay until the Senate agrees on terms for reopening the government.
In the meantime, former head of DOGE Elon Musk has offered to pay the salaries of TSA workers during the funding impasse.
‘I would like to offer to pay the salaries of TSA personnel during this funding impasse that is negatively affecting the lives of so many Americans at airports throughout the country,’ Musk posted on X this morning.
TSA officers make about $50,000 per year on average, according to The New York Times. Musk, the richest man in the world, is valued at $814.3 billion.
TSA's acting deputy administrator threatened that airports may have to shut down altogether if the chaos continues.
'It's not hyperbole to suggest that we may have to quite literally shut down airports, particularly smaller ones, if call-out rates go up,' Adam Stahl said.
A bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security failed to advance Friday in the Senate, meaning Stahl's prediction could come closer to reality soon.
'The reality of the situation is this is going to get worse before it gets better, if we don't see any sort of action,' Stahl said.
About 50,000 TSA workers have been working without pay for more than a month. Some can no longer afford to pay their rent, buy gas or food.
At least 366 agents nationwide have quit their jobs, DHS said.
At Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the lines are so long that they have spilled beyond screening checkpoints and into the baggage claim area.
Salt Lake City International Airport and Denver International Airport reported wait times of 30 minutes, while Dallas-Fort Worth saw delays of 24 minutes.

Just like any employee in the USA would be treated. STOP paying any politician that refuses to show up and do their job. Including their job related expenses and staff.

Amoral sociopaths only respond to credible threats of violence or credible threats of being impoverished, B. Those are the only effective feedback controls on their bad behavior.
So yes, stop their pay.

/\ ....amoral sociopaths
Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green made a similar reference to her colleagues a few months ago.
Notably, some airports have been able to avoid total chaos as their security screening services are provided by contractors under the Transportation Security Administration’s Screening Partnership Program (SPP), which was founded in 2004.
These private contracts are pre-funded and thus not affected by the current shutdown.

Hakeem Jeffries: ICE Will Potentially ‘Brutalize,’ ‘Kill’ Americans at Airports
Which Americans, exactly? I don't want to choose a side here prematurely.
Being generally against killing people unless they really need killing, a little brutalization might prove educational for some.
