Trump Threatens To “Get Involved” In DOJ Fight, Schumer Flips Out

~ admin ~ Leave a comment

Tyler Durden – President Trump in a series of Wednesday morning tweets, lashed out against the Mueller probe and the Department of Justice – threatening to “use the powers granted to the Presidency and get involved.”

The complaints follow the leak of approximately four-dozen questions the Special Counsel would like to ask the President, ranging from what Trump knew about alleged Russian efforts to interfere with the 2016 US election, to whether he tried to obstruct justice when he fired former FBI Director James Comey.

Trump and his legal team are engaged in ongoing negotiations with special counsel Robert Mueller’s team over whether the president will agree to be interviewed as part of the Russia (and now Stormy Daniels) investigation. Mueller warned Trump’s lawyers in a March meeting that he could issue a subpoena for the President to testify before a grand jury, according to four people familiar with the situation.

Trump Must Defeat His Enemies

muellerAmerican Liberty Report – Special Counsel Robert Mueller had his friends at the New York Southern District US Attorney’s office raid and loot the home and offices of President Donald Trump’s attorney, Michael Cohen. This unconstitutional act was carried out after Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein signed off on the raid. This investigation has moved from a farce to an attempted coup d’etat against America at this point.

Cooler heads are advising President Trump, who says he will not fire Robert Mueller — but at this point, could you honestly blame him if Mr. Trump started ordering drone strikes on the homes of his enemies?

Attorney-client privilege is a sacrosanct part of the common law in Western civilization. The earliest reference to attorney-client privilege is in a 1577 court case — 30 years before the first American colony was founded. That’s how long attorney-client privilege has been around and it is a key pillar of the law in America. Continue reading →

Key Questions about RussiaGate

evidenceCharles Hugh Smith – The claims that Russia meddled in the 2016 U.S. election are now known as RussiaGate, in a loose reference to the Watergate scandal of the early 1970s.

In the U.S., the issue has been poisoned by profound partisanship: those who feel disenfranchised by the election of Donald Trump are trying to use RussiaGate to unseat or cripple the Trump presidency, while those who elected Trump feel RussiaGate is nothing but an attempt by the corrupt status quo to disenfranchise them.

Let’s see if we can clarify the issues with some key questions.

1. Did Russia meddle in the 2016 U.S. election? This is the entire thing in a nutshell. But this raises a second question: did Russia successfully meddle in the 2016 U.S. election? In other words, we have two investigations: one to identify verifiable, legally actionable evidence of meddling, and a second investigation into the effects of any meddling–should evidence arise that would stand up in court.

Trump Obstruction of Justice Investigation: A Witch Hunt

~ admin ~ Leave a comment

C. Mitchell Shaw – With the report that President Trump is now under investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller for obstruction of justice, Trump took to Twitter in an early morning tweet-rant, describing the investigation as a “witch hunt” and those leading it as “bad and conflicted people.”

The obstruction of justice investigation stems from testimony from ousted FBI Director James Comey, who last week testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee that President Trump told him, “I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go,” according to unnamed sources cited by the Washington Post and NBC News.

Comey testified last week that he leaked his memo of his February 14 Oval Office one-on-one with the president to the media, saying, he hoped it would “prompt the appointment of a special prosecutor.”

Of course, given the inconsistencies in his testimony, that statement has to be taken either with a grain of salt or on faith to be accepted at all. At any rate, Mueller was appointed special counsel in the wake of Comey’s firing and subsequent leaking of the memo. And now, because of Comey’s testimony that the president hoped Comey could see his “way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go,” Mueller is reportedly investigating whether that was an attempt to obstruct justice.

In the early morning hours of Thursday — the day after the report came out — President Trump tweeted: Continue reading →
