Barr Assigns U.S. Attorney in Connecticut to Review Origins of Russia Inquiry

When you have an investigation into the most treasonous event in US history of a sitting US president setting up and illegally spying on a presidential candidate while using the CIA, FBI and DOJ as weapons, that is an investigation like no other.

 

"Collusion isn't a crime. Is there evidence of conspiracy? If there is such evidence, you should direct that question to the Trump Justice dept."

Well, neither of them promised to "drain the swamp", so there wasn't any need for a hoax to be perpetrated. against them.

"LOL, it's right here, among Trumpists like you who let Trump do their thinking for them - you follow the script, deflecting attention from possible crimes by Trump with unsupported assertions of guilt by the opposition."

Interesting.

 

But no link...

 

First, mueller is a political hack, and he doesn't want to answer embarrassing questions in front of a congressional committee. Among many questions that he should answer to is that according to Trump's lawyer John Dowd, mueller had concluded the collusion portion of the investigation at least 6 months prior to the 2018 election, but it is now obvious that no interim report was made because the mere existence of the investigation was intended to influence voters. What's up with that? This is as ridiculous as the the persecution of Scooter Libby AFTER the SC knew no law had been broken to initiate the investigation.

With that out the way ...

mueller knew absolutely and without any doubt that on the day he hired weissman that there had been NO COLLUSION. Why? Glad you axed. Because weissmann had been at the FBI and was involved in Crossfire Hurricane that already had cleared Trump, etal. of any collusion /conspiracy.

It's now 3 years, and 4 investigations concluded with NO criminal referral on Trump. Now the left is just p.o.ing voters. Please don't stop.

 

How did you possibly surmise this from the post you're responding to? Are you guessing at what's being discussed?

 

You are free to read "... this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime..." the way you want, I'll read it the way I see it.

 

The poster said, "Congress does not oversee the equal branch of government or it's chief executive."

And yet there are oversight committees ...

 

We were told mueller would find the evidence against trump

But he failed so now congress wants to do it themselves

 

Rod Rosenstein said as much earlier. It was the DNC which was apparently hacked, though they would not allow the FBI access to their computers. https://www.vox.com/2018/7/13/17568...ection-dnc-transcript-indictment-announcement

 

I'll jump in. It is a long established and accepted universal practice that:

1. a prosecutor never ever exonerates or declares any suspect innocent (like juries and judges don't -- not ever.)
2. If a prosecutor has evidence to strongly indicate a crime, he so charges that suspect with a crime through the grand jury and explains his reasoning.
3. If a prosecutor does not have evidence sufficient to charge he/she and the grand jury do not charge, return a no bill, and, as Mueller clearly explained in his report, does not say one more word about it.... to anyone.​

 

Very well put.

 

I'm not gonna get my hopes up the way dems did about the Mueller report. I don't need revenge. I need trump to focus on policy. We already know Russia investigation was a hoax. I knowthis stuff is important to clear trump but I'm just so sick of investigations.

 

None of your examples are criminal. Contacts between Trump and the Russians?? Are you kidding? Do you know how many contacts Obama, Bush43, Clinton, Bush 41, et al had with Russians??????

By all accounts Sessions never gave such authorization.

 

Yes , there are oversight committees but they are subject to established laws and precedents as well. The President also has executive privilege. Then we go to the third branch, which is ultimately the Supreme Court, and they will decide who is right and wrong..

Jerry Nadler will lose, that's well established precedent, while the essential work which has to be done is being ignored. This ongoing witch hunt is destroying the country and no one on the left seems to care.

 

No, actually talk can be quite costly.

 

If you think you have to be genus to realize the guy who could fire someone, didn't fire them, then I really feel sorry for you. It's literally the simplest understanding of basic logic. I'm sorry that's over your head.

 

Congress has oversight of the executive branch operations to assure their legislation is being appropriately carried out. They have no oversight of the president..... that's no, as in zero, zip, nada, zilch. That includes any individual in the executive branch. Congress is constitutionally not the executive branch's babysitter

 

"This ongoing witch hunt is destroying the country and no one on the left seems to care."

Sez you.

I believe that many on the left do care. I believe that many on the left actively seek the destruction of the country.

 

Talk cost nothing in this case, yes?????

 

Barr says he did not exonerate President Trump — the American ...

https://www.cnn.com/politics/live.../barr.../h_47600d094b183e8048088dd5456b2ca1

 

Nothing illegal about this investigation and Trump definitely has something to hide and he will be exposed.

 

This one is the one. This time we'll finally get him.

 

Not only do they apparently have no faith in Mueller or his team....they also have no faith in the NY State Dept of Taxation or the IRS. I'm not sure why the left has turned their back on these hard working civil servants

 

You got me on that. Thanks for the link.

 

I have no interest in or desire for government ownership of what could be private businesses. What I DO have an interest in are public social programs that help all of us live lives of higher quality & have better access to opportunity. Social programs within a capitalist system can help provide that.
