Fox News' Judge Jeanine Pirro Tries To Sully Robert Mueller Over Benghazi
Andy McDonald, HuffPost Sun, Aug 19 6:00 PM EDT Special prosecutor Robert Mueller is like a mob “cleaner” responsible for moving bodies and cleaning up crime scenes ― at least in the world inhabited by Fox News host and Donald Trump-whisperer Jeanine Pirro .
On Saturday, the host of “Justice” compared Mueller to Harvey Keitel’s character in the film “Pulp Fiction,” the Wolf. The Wolf is a mysterious man who helps Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta’s characters clean up after an especially bloody killing.
In the type of diatribe that has endeared her to the president, Pirro scorned Mueller for overseeing the probe into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and possible complicity in those efforts by the Trump campaign. All pretty standard stuff from her ― earlier this month, she asked guests on her program to hold forth on whether Mueller was a more serious threat to the U.S. than Russian President Vladimir Putin.
But in the apparent search for a fresh angle, Pirro spotlighted a go-to Fox News subject ― the deaths of U.S. Ambassador Christoper Stevens and three other Americans at a U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya.
In Pirro’s telling, “When things go terribly wrong for the Democrats... they call in someone who’s been in the cleanup business for a long time” ― i.e., Mueller (who’s a Republican). As FBI director (appointed to that post by GOP President George W. Bush), Mueller was enlisted to help “clean” then-Secretary Of State Hillary Clinton of wrongdoing in the 2012 Benghazi attack, Pirro insisted.
“Your credentials as a government serial cleaner are really good,” Pirro said of Mueller. “You testified, after four Americans are killed in Benghazi, to cover for Hillary Clinton’s incompetence.”
She failed to note that the two-year GOP-led Benghazi congressional investigation found no evidence of wrongdoing on Clinton’s part.

Whimper, cry for his mommy, and wet his pants
It's a "perjury trap" for Donald because he simply can't speak the truth. If he caught a 28" trout it would be 4' long by his next telling of the tale. And his lawyers know it which is why they refer to it as a "trap". For anyone else this would be a caution to their client to be truthful on the stand, with Trump his lawyers come out proclaiming "The truth is not the truth!". And everyone who supports this monumentally incompetent joke of a President can go down with him and go hide under their beds with embarrassment when he is exposed and becomes the next Nixon.
