Expose them all. Charge those who can be charged. Scare the crap out of the rest of them.

Shame on the SC/FBI, it was mafia style intimidation. This especially disgusting in light of how the DOJ/FBI protected Hillary/Obama.

[ Dowd also said agents seized “privileged and confidential materials prepared for Mr. Manafort by his counsel to aid him in his cooperation with the Congressional committees ]

Hard to believe that a judge signed off on the seizure of Marafort's attorney communications.

MUELLER ELECTION FRAUD

Imprison this corrupt bastard Mueller.

Mueller is coordinating Election Fraud. Manafort was important in securing the legality of the 2016 election. He will be instrumental for 2020 also. He is now attacked by this DOJ team interfering in our vote.

Mueller is now rigging the 2020 election.

Trump should fire Mueller now. There are plenty of legal grounds. Then pursue criminal prosecution of election fraud for Mueller and his accomplices.

Sessions should prosecute Mueller for Election Fraud.

Then appoint a new special counsel.

Otherwise Sessions appears bought off by the Rinos.

I am reluctant to make that call.

It will take someone with big balls to do what is necessary to stop this crime.

Renato Mariotti Brings up a good point about wilmer hale. They may feel like they cant represent anyone in this... not because mueller is from there but because they may be entering witness territory...such as kushners forms.

“He just opened a can of worms. That no knock warrant would have been sealed.”

Hmm I am not so sure about that. Dowd doesn’t say he saw the petition he just stated what they said they were looking for. You alluded to possible improper witness contact. What are you implying?

That’s why I figured we learned about the raid.

It’s the Trump Administration’s way of fighting back against its enemies.

The judge wouldn’t have signed off on the seizure of confidential information per se. The warrant might have had a generic “written documents or materials pertaining to contacts with Russia.” And technically, the confidential documents meet that definition. The bottom line is that for the FBI, a warrant is just an excuse to kick down a door and enter a home. Once inside, they do what they want and come up with a justification later.

Imo..he knows more than a sealed warrant exists. If so...where did he get the info?
.he has known mueller for years..from him?.no.

Manaforts lawyer should have given manafort the advice to shut up..and that trumps Interests are adverse to his

Manafort and his lawyers know what is in that sealed doc

Take it from there

Btw..Jrs interests are adverse to everyone...in fact..everyone should remember that word. Adverse... and take the legal advice from their team very seriously

Tactics normally “seen in Russia not America”? Well certainly not among the President’s country club set, but it’s been the norm for the rest of us for decades.

Mueller is acting in a manner intended to provoke his firing. He has displayed bias, acted beyond scope, displayed a lack of professionalism, and abused process.

He has:

These are all done for political effect.

Expect increasingly outrageous behavior. Mueller wants to be fired.

Why?

Firing Mueller would feed the Democrat’s narrative of “obstruction” and would give the Democrats their lusted for “Saturday night massacre”.

This has been carefully planned and coordinated by Comey, Rosenstein, and Mueller. Recall that Rosenstein recommended Comey be fired. Recall also that Comey testified that his intention was to leak so that a special council would be created. Recall that Comey delayed his Congressional testimony so that he could consult with Mueller.

This is a political operation first and foremost. Legal processes are being abused for political purposes. These three have generated events to further a narrative: "obstruction".

Seizing materials that were to be used during testimony to Congress is appalling. Expect increasingly outrageous behavior.
