Mueller’s Investigation Crosses the Legal Line

This is a very good argument. Unfortunately it has swallowed the quaint idea that the government that we live under has the slightest intent to follow the constitution of 1789.

It is only used today as a template. Whatever the oligarchy wants to do must be written in a way that seems to follow it. But make no mistake, our government no longer feels bound to it. The only other use they find for it is when they want to use it against the people in some manner.

""Mr. Rosenstein could legally have brought all the indictments Mr. Mueller has. But he may not delegate that authority to Mr. Mueller, any more than President Trump could delegate his veto power to Mr. Rosenstein.

Isn't this what these Leftist subversives of our legal system do? Remember when Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and Attorney General Jeff Sessions said Comey was "wrong to usurp the attorney general's authority" by determining the investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails should be closed without prosecution?

I’m not 100% sure on this. But feel and the same way you’ve described.

[MtnClimber]

Many people may have jail in their future, or hopefully long prison terms.

Please stop your criticism of a great president.

Dark state is not based on law. It is a beast of the field and it does what it wants.

"IMHO I believe Trump wants this to continue. He gets to play the victim, knowing he can stop this at his liesure It keeps us (his base) PO’d and depresses the left as mueller keeps failing and flailing. We keep voter turn out up and exposing the swamp creatures."

Yes it is WWF, he is the Hero and they are the Villians. I am waiting for the smack down however...

It’s not my theroy, Rush Limbaugh was pointing out the obvious the other day. He also believes banking on hate long term loses. It’s really hard to carry hate at fever pitch that long. In the meantime Trump talks about an obvious witch hunt and said the left keeps proving they are liars. It also helps when the press picks on Sarah Sanders. She has a Huge and loyal fan following. A great lady doing a great job inspite of the a$$holes she has to deal with. I just happen to agree with Rush. And Mark Levin has been rocking lately.

[GOP Poet]

Rush makes great points and it’s coming out in the wash as well. I haven’t had a chance to listen to Levin lately in depth. But will. I lately keep seeing content that catches my eye and attention and upon reading see it’s a quote from Levin. thanks!

“THAT WAS ON THE LINE!” - Mueller McEnrow

[JustaTech]

Exactly. As long as Mueller is making headlines the political opposition is nearly paralyzed by a completely false expectation that Mueller is going to knock POTUS out of the park, "any day now, just you wait you Trumptards, because Mueller has the goods on Trump AND Pence AND Ryan, and when Mueller drops the hammer and the rednecks start rioting, the UN will step in and make Hillary POTUS like she deserves to be, and ALL you redneck Nazi's will be rounded up and...", and so forth ad nauseum. Which is great, because it can never happen.

After all it took to get to this point, the Alliance would never permit the unwelcome removal of President Trump by ANY means. Whatsoever.

“Too bad Trump doesn’t have the gonads to Fire Him.”

“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!” I laughed sarcastically.

[Alberta's Child]

And Mueller’s team seems to be botching things so badly in these cases anyway ... they couldn’t do worse if they did it deliberately.

[Jimmy Valentine]

Trump is watching Mueller flounder and flail in a deep cess pit of his own making. Why should the President pull him out. Let Mueller drown in Sxxt.

[SkyPilot]

The good news is that our man Huber is a US Attorney.

I can't wait.....

"Never do what your enemy desires, for this reason alone, that he desires it - Napoleon.

Mueller is begging to be fired. The question is, why?

Yes, and now we are starting to see the left acknowledge that the continued bashing of Trump is going to destroy them in November. POTUS has got them against the ropes and they know not what to do. As each of his accumulating accomplishments magically unfold, it validates to me that Trump has the Divine Hand of Providence assisting him.

Many on here had no problems hating Obama the full 8 years.

[Liz]

As long as Mueller is making headlines, dumbo Dems can entertain voters, that "the Mueller act" is going to knock Trump out of the park.

The Dems "just know" that when Mueller drops the hammer, the UN will step in and make Hillary POTUS....and they'll all live happily ever after.

I loved fairy tales as a child....I'm so pleased that Dems love them, too (smirk).

That isn’t an issue, hating Obama, what he stands for, and wanting his policies to fail utterly is completely appropriate since many of them were anti-American at best (did not have American interests at heart) or anti-Constitutional at worst.

Advocating for Obama’s removal from office at a personal level for a variety of reasons is not inappropriate when taking into account things like Fast and Furious as just one example.

But advocating, at various government (Congressional figures) and agency (FBI, CIA, DOJ) levels, and conspiring to do so on obviously false charges is beyond the pale and demands prosecution. This is quite a different thing.
