What a dream team. Mueller has built his own DOJ to get to the bottom of the Trump/Russia coordination scandal. After reading the article, one can truly understand why Trump is acting the way his is as his consciousness of guilt is going to drive his Russia obsession to a shrill. Crooked Donnie is in very deep trouble as this team has impeccable reputations, credentials & expertise.
So what? Well-qualified legal minds had the intelligence to support Obama and the Clintons. What did you expect from Mueller? Did you expect him to hire people who graduated from correspondence school and flunked the bar 10 times (who were Trump donors)?
His own Army. His own Department of Justice. Brother you've lost your mind. Your vernacular and mind set is about as tyrannical as one can get.
They have already shown their Nazi tendencies by barnstorming Paul Manafort's home at pre dawn six in the morning and keeping him and wife captive for 10 hours as they tore up his home. They even confiscated files that were marked confidential between lawyer and client. They mirror copied his computers files.
That is standard practice when you are dealing with criminals. Do not forget that Manafort was paid by Russia/Putin to do their bidding.
Has he been charged yet? INNOCENT until PROVEN guilty. Why do you guys keep forgetting that part? Thinking like a Banana Republic with result in your country becoming a Banana Republic.
He may not have been legally charged yet but he is morally corrupt. Anyone who works in league with Russians or Russia is morally corrupt.
I wonder if the average Russian thinks that. I would bet that they would say of a Russian who worked with an American would be morally corrupt. How do you feel about all the lobbyists that represent foreign governments in the District of Corruption?
Evidence is gathered before charges are filed. They catch you speeding on radar before they write you a ticket. They see you on closed-circuit camera before they arrest you for burglary. They check your financial records before they charge you with money laundering. In each case, they have a reason to gather evidence, and that happens before you are charged. They may even take the evidence to a Grand Jury to see if there is sufficient evidence to charge you, before they charge you. Do you equally object to a search warrant on a suspected child pornographer, when a judge has approved a search warrant for probable cause? It's the same process. We're not a Banana Republic. This is our judicial system in action, and it works that way every day, all across the country, for the child pornographer, the money launderer, and the burglar. We just don't ordinarily see a search warrant executed on a high profile political operative in the news… and we didn't know about this one for two weeks or so. Then there's the odd coincidence that Manafort testified in a closed setting before the Senate intelligence committee the day before. Maybe the two are not linked, but the timing sure is suspicious. If he testified to something the FBI knew to be untrue, or mentioned something in that testimony that he has been asked before and answered differently, then further evidence gathering would be expected.
It makes a lot of difference if you want the "impartial" investigation Mueller promised. I take it you don't.
Its not their tendencies on display. Talk to the judge who issued the warrants and granted the scope and material. Lots of federal judges have swastikas on their arms - if you ask drug kingpins, and the mafiosa, and the folk who like to run scams from their computer desk.
Yes, assuming Mueller has a staff of DNC lackeys. That's empirical evidence, like a jury of wolves when the sheep is on trial. A fair trial would never allow that.
You geniuses do realize that a prosecutor doesn't have to be impartial, right? You do realize that a prosecutor isn't a jury, right?
There is no staff of DNC lackeys, and never was. Its all right wing spew to attempt to defend Trump. It will also be a convenient excuse when Trump goes down.
