Trump Told Lewandowski to Do His Dirty Work, Thwart Mueller Probe... BUT Corey Refused to Deliver the message... Put the "Future Crimes Only" plan in his personal safe at home... AND He Didn't Fire Sessions...

In the summer of 2017, President Trump told Corey Lewandowski, his former campaign manager, to have then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions thwart Robert Mueller’s investigation, according to the special counsel’s report. Trump also told Lewandowski to fire Sessions if he refused a meeting to talk about the issue, the report says.

The report details a meeting between Trump and Lewandowski, which came just two days after Trump met with former White House counsel Don McGahn and asked him to have Mueller removed. In the meeting, Trump “brought up Sessions and criticized his recusal from the Russia investigation,” the report says.

He then asked Lewandowski to deliver a message to Sessions. The attorney general, Trump told Lewandowski, should give a speech saying the following:

I know that I recused myself from certain things having to do with specific areas. But our POTUS … is being treated very unfairly. He shouldn’t have a Special Prosecutor/Counsel b/c he hasn’t done anything wrong. I was on the campaign w/ him for nine months, there were no Russians involved with him. I know it for a fact b/c I was there. He didn’t do anything wrong except he ran the greatest campaign in American history.

Trump then wanted Sessions to say that he would limit the special counsel’s investigation to future election interference. All this, despite Sessions’s recusal from the investigation.

Lewandowski was careful about getting this message to Sessions, according to the report. He didn’t want to do it over the phone or in person at the Justice Department. So he set up a meeting with Sessions, but it never happened.

Roughly a month later, Lewandowski was back in the Oval Office. Trump asked him about getting the message to Sessions and Lewandowski told him it would happen soon. Lewandowski had set up a meeting between Sessions and Rick Dearborn, the former White House deputy chief of staff, whom Lewandowski was entrusting with passing along Trump’s message.

In that meeting, Lewandowski remembers Trump telling him that he should tell Sessions he’d be fired if Sessions did not agree to meet with him. After the meeting, Lewandowski ran into Dearborn and gave him the message that was meant to be delivered to Sessions. But Dearborn didn’t like what he saw on the typed note. He would later tell Lewandowski “that he had handled the situation,” though the message was never actually delivered.

My Dad was a WW2 Veteran. Worked in the War Crimes Trials about Bataan Death March

My dad was in WW2 in the Philippines... He was given a test when drafted and he proved that he could type on a typewriter... so he was stationed in an office in Manila. He worked on the War Crimes Trials about the Bataan Death March. They convicted the Japanese General Masaharu Homma and he was executed by firing squad. Often students would interview dad on veterans day and write newspaper articles about him.

On Facebook, my friends Posted:

HWP: My dad served in the Philippines as well.

MW: my dad too, he was in a pow camp. for 3 1/2 years

HWP: Oh Michael, how horrible for him! God bless those men who fought for our freedom that we tend to take for granted!

KD: Greg, my dad was in the Philippines too during WW2. He never did anything as interesting as your dad. He was too young. He did get to go to Japan when the war was over.

CR: My Dad was a paratrooper with the 101st "Screaming Eagles" he didn't talk about it much he jumped behind the lines in the Battle of the Bulge.

HWP: My dad was a civil engineer and was in the Seebees. I think that's how you spell it. He told some stories to my brother and sister and me, but it wasn't until he got Alzheimer's disease he started remembering the horrors of what he had seen. I had never seen my father cry until then. He was tormented with the memories he had stuffed way down and had bubbled to the surface.

PRM: A friend of my folks was part of the Bataan Death March. He died at age 59, his health was severely compromised as result.

HWP: I too knew a man who had been forced to walk on the Bataan Death March.

KOK: My grandfather was shot in France, but he made a full recovery. And not by a German soldier either, but by a French fascist guerrilla, weeks after the Germans had already surrendered in France.

JVD: So sorry Pam. In gratitude for his service, may he rest in peace .

DSW:  My dad flew a P47 fighter. He was shot down in Jan.'45. They told his parents and my mom he was presumed dead. He was actually in a German prison camp that was eventually liberated by Patton. Got home June 14, 1945.

CR:  I've read several books on the Bataan Death march. It's heart breaking to learn what our soldiers endured. I can never do enough to thank them.

JT: My 4 year old father and his family was shipped to a relocated camp in the desert for being of Japanese heritage by the US govt. Bless our veterans for fighting for our freedom, but we civilians have to do our part to ensure we don't allow government to take away those freedoms.

HWP: John, I'm sorry about your family's experience. I absolutely agree with you that we should never allow that to happen again in our country!

My Dad also brought back dried Moths. 4 inch wingspan. It's incredible to imagine what they would be like fluttering around... especially in swarms of a hundred or more.

I was born in San Jose Hospital in 1954. Lived on Hedding Street in the flight path for the Airport. When I was six, they started landing Jet Airplanes and all the people had to leave our neighborhood. We moved to Los Gatos and we moved the House my grandpa built to Almaden. They just picked it up and put it on a truck...
