23 posts so far today. I think all this hysteria is due to the fact that they were really, REALLY counting on Comey's testimony to be the final solution. But then, it turned out to be nothing but hot air.
Now they're talking about everything BUT what just didn't happen, trying to find reasons to support their completely unsupported beliefs.
Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

Yup.
It's been over a year at least of throwing everything they possibly can at the wall and seeing if anything sticks.
I don't even particularly like Trump, and I don't exactly feel comfortable being on this "side", since a majority of my life I have been against the current administration, whatever their affiliation.
In general, I like the way that things have been changing since he's been in office. I don't think that's really much because of anything that Trump has done except just be Trump. We're back to calling a Terrorist a Terrorist and not apologizing for them. Hate groups like Black Lives Matter arent' getting any spotlight anymore. The White Male in general is not the number one target of the bleeding hearts and the MSM. The Red Pill.
I think I'm just going to put my White and Male privilege cards out on the table and enjoy the ride. Let them bitch and whine and I'll just laugh from the sidelines.

When Richard Nixon did this in the Saturday Night Massacre it was a major scandal that, in many respects, kicked the Watergate investigation into overdrive. And, indeed, it was the political backlash to firing Comey that saddled Trump with the Mueller investigation in the first place.
On the other hand, while firing Comey was not exactly well-received on Capitol Hill, the vast majority of congressional Republicans were eager to rally around the idea that Trump was within his legal rights to fire the FBI director.
They might well conclude that firing Mueller is okay too.
One advantage Trump has in Russia-related decision-making is that he knows more than either his allies or his antagonists in Congress about what the underlying facts of the case are. Trump is in a unique position to evaluate whether the political costs of a cover-up exceed the political costs of a thorough investigation. In the case of, for example, his still-secret tax returns and personal finances, Trump has decided that the cover-up is the wiser path — and it’s certainly possible he’ll reach the same conclusion with regard to Mueller.

Yeah... or, yanno... the third option.
The one where he knows that there is nothing to cover up. Just sayin'.

Congress doesn't have the experts to help Trump. Success or failure is all up to him and nobody else although I do expect him to blame everybody but himself when he campaigns in the Summer of 2020.

I have worked in an office. I've also worked in the political realm was well.

I know that you're crazy if you think that one man alone has ever done all of that planning and paperwork.
You think that Obama wrote all 1,900 pages of the ACA?

Quote:If he does NOT fire Mueller than Trump has given us good evidence that he is unworried. Every month that goes by without Mueller being fired is more evidence that Trump believes there is either no crime or it is only trivial. On the other hand, if Trump fires Mueller, that is evidence too. It won't convince Republicans that there is a crime, but it will convince everyone outside the USA and outside the GOP that there was.

I haven't looked into Mueller very deeply. On the other hand, he brought in Weissmann, who left the Enron investigation due to rising evidence of prosecutorial misconduct.

Prosecutor's Record Destroys Credibility of Mueller Probe
(AP)
By Sidney Powell | Wednesday, 07 Jun 2017 11:28 AM
Former FBI Director, now special prosecutor, Robert Mueller has added Andrew Weissmann to the prosecution team investigating allegations of the Trump Administration's "collusion" with Russia.
Mainstream media has touted both men's credentials, but there is a huge back-story they all ignore.
Mr. Weissmann's real record as a "special prosecutor" is so egregious that Mr. Mueller's decision to choose his former counsel Weissmann should cause concern for anyone with even a passing interest in truth and justice.
From a tough mob prosecutor in the Eastern District of New York United States Attorney's Office (with former Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Assistant Attorney General Leslie Caldwell), Mr. Weissmann became the first Deputy Director — and then Director — of the elite Enron Task Force, formed in 1991.
The Task Force quickly devolved into a cabal that used mob tactics itself.
It dealt the death penalty to the venerable accounting firm of Arthur Andersen LLP, which employed 85,000 people world-wide and represented approximately 2500 publicly-traded companies. It even coerced a guilty plea out of Andersen partner David Duncan.
In a trial rife with prosecutorial misconduct obviously calculated to win at any cost, Weissmann helped rewrite crucial jury instructions defining the "crime" and the intent required.
Three years later, a unanimous Supreme Court reversed the conviction. All the justices agreed that Andersen's conduct was not a crime, and it was "shocking how little criminal culpability the jury instructions required."
In plain English, Mr. Weissmann concocted a crime, destroyed a company and 85,000 jobs, spent millions of tax dollars, and obtained a wrongful conviction — all for nothing.
The prosecutors were so over-reaching that the judge even allowed Mr. Duncan to withdraw his guilty plea.
Weissmann ran the grand jury like a petty tyrant. He instructed one defendant (my client) — who had appeared voluntarily — to share his "personal understanding" of a telephone call he had not even participated in, "whether his understanding was accurate or not." Then, Weissmann indicted him for perjury and obstruction of justice for his answer.
Determined to "send a message to Wall Street," Weissmann supervised the prosecution of four Merrill Lynch executives on charges that were unprecedented.
Like a character from the TV series The Blacklist, Weissmann himself often made multiple phone calls to lawyers for potential defense witnesses, threatening the indictment of anyone who might testify for the defense — including in-house legal counsel.
To top it off, Weissmann and team actually yellow-highlighted evidence that was favorable to the defense before the Barge trial, but hid it for six years while four Merrill executives served a year in prison on an indictment that failed to allege a crime as charged.
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed 12 out of 14 counts of conviction, acquitted one defendant completely, and later held that the prosecutors "plainly suppressed evidence" favorable to the defense and provided misleading summaries instead.
Weissmann left the Enron Task Force amid escalating allegations of prosecutorial misconduct during the Enron Broadband case. No one seemed to notice what had happened to the victims, or that all of the cases they acNOTIFY: N | REPLY | REPLY WITH QUOTE | PERMALINK | TOP | HOME
