Hundreds of former Justice Department officials said in an open letter released Monday that President Donald Trump would be facing multiple felony charges stemming from the Russia investigation if he were not President.

The letter posted online by Justice Department alumni, who served under presidents from both parties, said the report from special counsel Robert Mueller contained repeated instances of Trump committing obstruction of justice, and that he would have been charged with obstruction if he was not protected as President by an opinion from the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel that Mueller cited. ...

well, since there’s been not a single shred of credible public evidence of PDJT doing that,

what secret evidence do these old signers have, anyway, and how did they get it?

answer: they have nothing
(but if they do, they almost certainly obtained it illegally, given how much public funding has been expended over such a long time to discover any evidence of any wrong-doing, producing no evidence at all)

At least now the exterminator has an idea where to apply the first round of roach spray.

“All Dems.”

Which party do attorneys support overwhelmingly? Democrat.

This story speaks to how deeply the department has been saturated with the rats, for a long time.

They know the high-power searchlight is turning steadily in their direction, and their crap is piled high and unhide-able

And yet there is only one Attorney at the DOJ who gets a vote.

This stunt means nothing. How many were Obama appointees?

They are “former” DOJ attorneys for good reason.

Have any of them charged someone with obstruction if there was no underlying crime?

The way I read it is that over 300 former attorney generals are dirty as hell.

Probably pedophiles.

More than 300 former DoJ attorneys sign statement saying the believe Trump obstructed justice...but Mueller who wrote the report didn’t think so.


None of these attorneys have access to the evidence so they are just basing their opinions on a summary report.

The DemonRats are a regular Santa Claus...they started this list back on April 13, 2018....look at the date...and just got around to telling us who's naughty and nice. The wording is off as well, since they are talking about firing Mueller and RosenWeasel.

So how much you wanna bet most of these signatures were collected long before the Mueller report was issued? They showed their hands a bit too early I suspect?

That list of names was on the Hillary server, but that list got bleach-bit’d off.

This letter these guys signed was based on hearsay of what Don McGahn claimed to have have said out of the Mueller report. McGahn was a White House Counsel that denies he said Rob Rosenstein pressured McGahn to fire Mueller. Even know McGahn a White House Counsel never had any authority to fire Mueller.

Why would Mueller even write this knowing McGahn never had the authority to fire Mueller?

“... The Department (DOJ) hires more than 750 experienced attorneys nationwide each year. ...”

So... how many “former attorneys” are there? LOTS.

All Dems.

*************

This doesn’t surprise me in the least. If you’ve ever worked in DC (a.k.a. the Swamp) you’d know there’s a palpable hatred of Republicans in general, and Trump in particular. The federal agencies in DC are infested with liberals and Democrats, many of whom are especially vengeful since they rely on expansive government programs and largesse for their paper pushing jobs. They are defending their empires and will stop at nothing to do it.
