Americans HAMMER the Final Nail in Mueller’s Coffin With This New Poll

Robert Mueller has officially overstayed his welcome.
His bloated and corrupt Russia probe has dragged well past a year and still hasn’t provided any evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
American’s are tired of Mueller wasting taxpayer dollars and a new poll shows that the public is losing both patience and faith in the investigation.
A national poll conducted of 1,000 likely voters by McLaughlin & Associates and former Clinton pollster Dick Morris provided exclusively to Breitbart News shows support for President Trump and suspicion of the investigation of Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller.
By a margin of 51 percent to 33 percent, voters do not believe Mueller has found “real evidence of corruption by the president.”
More specifically, by a margin of 10 points, 43 percent to 33 percent, voters feel that Mueller has not uncovered any evidence that “President Trump colluded with Russia to influence the 2016 election.”
A plurality of voters, 43 percent to 35 percent, said that Mueller’s investigation has “overstepped its designated purpose to investigate links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of President Trump by investigating individuals who had nothing to do with Russia.”
The poll also shows that voters are losing patience with Mueller’s probe.
Asked if they think “the investigation being conducted by Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller has gone on for too long and cost too much,” voters agreed by a 20 point margin, 52 percent to 32 percent.
Mueller does not fare well when it comes to voter attitudes regarding the fairness of his investigation.
When voters were asked if Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller “is fairly investigating the president and just following the facts or if he is doing all he can to make a case against the president to try to remove him from office?” voters broke even with 40.4 percent saying he is just following the facts and 39.7 percent saying he is doing all he can to remove Trump from office.
A majority of voters believe that Trump’s critics are primarily motivated by their desire to stop his agenda.
DOJ Issues GAME CHANGING Announcement on Mueller-Cohen Raid

The DOJ just made a game-changing announcement, that likely has Democrats, and Mueller shaking in their boots.
In a shocking twist, Attorney General Jeff Sessions has revealed he will NOT recuse himself from the Trump-Cohen investigation, unleashed by Russia witch-hunter, Robert Mueller.
You’ll recall that Sessions recused himself from the Russia investigation, leaving Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein in charge.
The Justice Department’s Southern District of New York and the FBI — acting on a referral from the Robert Mueller Special Counsel investigation — recently raided and seized documents from an office, home and hotel room associated with President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney Michael Cohen.
Bloomberg just reported that Attorney General Jeff Sessions has decided not to recuse himself from that particular investigation, though he reportedly did leave open the option of stepping back in regard to certain aspects of that investigation, if warranted in the future.
In the eyes of the liberal media, that non-recusal stands in stark contrast to Sessions’ prior recusal from the Mueller-led Russian collusion investigation and other matters related to the 2016 presidential campaign.
Asked about the non-recusal by Bloomberg, the DOJ released a statement that read: “The attorney general considers his potential recusal on a matter-by-matter basis as may be needed. To the extent a matter comes to the attention of his office that may warrant consideration of recusal, the attorney general would review the issue and consult with the appropriate Department ethics experts.”
Bloomberg fretted that Sessions’ involvement with the Cohen investigation would allow him to be briefed on its progress, which in turn could allow him to divulge such information to Trump if requested.
Furthermore, Sessions’ involvement would also permit him to play a decision-making role in the investigation, particularly in regard to if subpoenas or indictments are issued in the matter.
CNBC noted that the non-recusal by Sessions also stood in contrast to how SDNY lead attorney Geoffrey Berman had recused himself from the Cohen investigation and handed it off to his deputy, Robert Khuzami. Berman had been personally interviewed for the position by Trump and was appointed by Sessions.
In seeking confirmation of the decision by Sessions to not recuse himself, CNBC received this response from a DOJ spokeswoman: “We don’t confirm or deny recusals — as the AG said in his testimony in November. To do so could be used as a way to confirm the existence or scope of an ongoing criminal investigation, which we have a policy of not doing as you can read in the United States Attorney Manual.”
Nevertheless, that hasn’t stopped the liberal media from speculating on their own about the “existence or scope of an ongoing criminal investigation” as it pertains to Michael Cohen.
The Hill surmised that the raid on Cohen’s office, home and hotel room was related to an alleged payoff he gave to former porn star Stormy Daniels — real name Stephanie Clifford — in order to purchase her silence in regard to an alleged consensual affair she had with then-businessman Trump a dozen years ago.
It is thought by some in the liberal media that such a payoff could implicate Trump in some sort of campaign finance violation, and is the latest saga in their perpetually evolving “We’ve got him now!” mantra.
Pushing that narrative even further, there has been speculation that Trump could eventually issue a pardon for Cohen, a potentiality the White House hasn’t totally ruled out but which was also called a “stupid question” by Trump himself when asked if he would consider pardoning his former attorney.
In the end, RedState noted that this move by Sessions — even if correct and to be applauded — has poured fuel on the anti-Trump left’s conspiracy theories regarding Trump being the real focus of the investigation and his administration’s efforts to cover up or obstruct that “truth” from emerging.
A much more likely reason for Sessions’ non-recusal from the Cohen investigation is that it doesn’t have any real links to Mueller’s Russia investigation or the 2016 presidential campaign, in which case Sessions would probably have recused himself, which in turn would have implied that Trump was under investigation as well.
Of course, it is also plausible that Sessions decided not to recuse himself simply because he didn’t want to become the target of accusatory tweets from the president, as has occurred in response to his prior recusal from matters involving Russia and the campaign.
Regardless, Sessions is doing the job that he was appointed and confirmed to do, and unless there are clear indications of a conflict of interest or appearance of impropriety, there is no reason whatsoever for the attorney general to recuse himself from this particular investigation.
NRA Breaks 15-Year Fundraising Record with Nearly $2.5 Million in March

The NRA broke a 15-year fundraising record by taking in nearly $2.5 million for its Political Victory Fund in the month of March alone.
From March 1 through March 31 the fund raised $2.4 million, an increase of roughly $1.5 million over the amount the fund took in during the same time last year.
The Miami Herald reports that the $2.4 million collected in March “is the most money raised by the NRA’s political arm in one month since June 2003.”
Donations during March 2018 eclipsed other high water marks for the Political Victory Fund. For example, January and February 2013–the two month immediately following the Sandy Hook Elementary School attack–saw fundraising totals of $1.1 million and $1.5 million. The figure of $1.5 million was surpassed by nearly one million dollars last month.
The $2.4 million consisted largely of donations totaling $200 or less, which means the number of donors was substantial.
February gifts to the NRA’s political action committee provided a precursor to the Political Victory Fund’s March windfall. Breitbart News reported that donations to the NRA’s political action committee tripled in February, as celebrities, establishment media, and student activists blamed the NRA for the Parkland shooting. The Washington Free Beacon noted that the NRA PAC received $779,063 in donations in February versus $247,985 in January.
Most of the donations, $1.9 million of the $2.4 million total, came from small donors who gave less than $200. The NRA doles out money to political campaigns from the victory fund, but most of its spending is on activity that isn’t directly linked with a lawmakers’ campaign where the group is not bound by state and federal campaign finance limits. For example, Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio received only $9,900 in direct contributions from the NRA during his 2016 U.S. Senate campaign, but his campaign benefited from $3.3 million in outside spending from the NRA to help him defeat Democratic Rep. Patrick Murphy.
In Florida, the NRA has donated to four Republican members of Congress during the 2018 cycle, including Miami Republican Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, but the four donations are $2,750 or less, a pittance when a competitive congressional campaign typically costs millions. The NRA hasn’t donated to candidates at the state level in Florida for years. Instead, the group’s political power comes from its thousands of members who are typically a powerful voting bloc in Republican primary elections.

Although the far-left CNN buried its big news under 15 paragraphs of excuse-making for the latest anti-gay scribblings that surfaced on MSNBC anchor Joy Reid’s old blog, what more does anyone need to know than the following: “The Library of Congress … contains the disputed posts and lists them as having been archived on January 12, 2006.”

Guests In Awe At State Dinner, Trump Unveils Early Birthday Present For Melania

On Tuesday evening, President Donald Trump and his wife Melania welcomed French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte to the White House for an opulent state dinner meticulously planned by the first lady. Guests who were lucky enough to be invited to the elegant affair were in awe. Shortly after the event, the president unveiled an early birthday present for Melania.
Fifteen months into the Trump administration, the president and first lady threw their first state dinner. The pressure was on as reporters waited anxiously to see what Melania had in store, and, boy, did she ever deliver! Every detail was attended to with the utmost care, and the evening went off without a hitch thanks to “months of preparations” by the first lady and her team.
According to NPR, Tuesday night’s menu paid tribute to American culinary traditions with “nuances of French influences.” It began with a course of goat cheese gateau, tomato jam, buttermilk biscuits, and greens from the White House kitchen garden. The main course included rack of spring lamb, cipollini soubise, and Carolina gold rice jambalaya. To finish it off, the Macrons were treated to a nectarine tart with crème fraîche ice cream.
The exquisite meal was served on both the Clinton and George W. Bush china, which features a green color palette that complemented the green flowers featured in the dining room. There were more than 1,200 branches of cherry blossom, all homegrown in the United States, and more than 2,500 stems of white sweet peas, along with 1,000 stems of white lilac. To top it all off, the Kennedy Center’s Washington National Opera performed.
The magic of the evening and the countless hours of hard work required to pull it all off were not lost on President Trump, who took to Twitter on Wednesday to praise his wife for the “spectacular job” she did preparing his administration’s first state dinner, according to Washington Examiner.
“[Melania] did a spectacular job hosting the President of France @EmmanuelMacron and his wife Brigitte. Every detail was done to perfection. The State Dining Room never looked more beautiful, and Washington is abuzz over what an incredible job Melania did,” he wrote.
President Donald Trump seems to be making a habit of offering his wife glowing praise ahead of her 48th birthday on Thursday. He did the same in an email to the Make America Great Again Committee, calling the first lady as his “rock” and “foundation.”
“Family is one of life’s most wonderful treasures, and serving as America’s First Family has been a truly great privilege!” wrote Trump. “This month, our family is looking forward to a very special day. Please join us in celebrating the first lady and my beautiful, kind-hearted and exceptional wife Melania’s birthday by signing her card. Melania is my rock and foundation, and I wouldn’t be the man I am today without her by my side. She’s the cornerstone of our family, and an incredible mother to our son, Barron. I’m so proud of her accomplishments, and I hope you’ll wish her well on her special day.”
The president’s choice of words regarding his lovely wife could not have been more accurate — she has been a “rock,” even in the face of a media and Democratic Party both working overtime to destroy her marriage. The first lady has been put through the ringer, with ex-adult film stars alleging to have carried out affairs with her husband in the weeks after she gave birth to their son Barron, and still, Melania has never once lowered herself to the level of the media trolls trying to defame her.
Instead, she has pulled up her bootstraps and attended to her job as the first lady. The evidence of her hard work was apparent on Tuesday night as she threw a flawless state dinner in honor of French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte. We have been blessed beyond measure with such a gracious and classy first lady, and as her birthday approaches, we look forward to wishing her well!
