Quick question to put out there. With all that has gone on with IC/SC w/ Mueller, I thought that the independent/special counsels were used only when there was some type of conflict of interest or the investigation required someone, outside the oversight of the DOJ or whatever ....AND....there had to be a specific crime that was being investigated. Or am I wrong? I realize that that is kind of rhetorical but, again, what crime did Candidate Trump commit or is alleged to have committed?
Because if going on a witch hunt, like this seems to becoming, more and more, it can set a dangerous precedent for future investigations.
And to your point about the money, look at who is getting it. Liberal, leftist lawyers that make a living off the taxpayer. Not sure what they’re making, but I’ll bet it ain’t peanuts. And they can keep this thing open for years, making that easy, taxpayer money. Pardon my French but, It’s a f*cking disgrace.
I found this explanation by an anonymous poster to put the entire Russia Collusion investigation on the level of a kangaroo court:
“The Memo confirms that the Obama FBI and Obama DOJ used the Steele dossier to get a FISA warrant.
The Obama boys did not inform the Court in the FISA application that the Steele dossier was paid for by Hillary and the DNC. This is critical because when you apply for a search warrant based on information from an informant you must disclose to the Court why the informant is reliable. Usually you say the informant provided reliable information in the past, if that is the case.
Here the Obama boys are presenting the Steele info as reliable but they failed to tell the Court that the Steele info was bought and paid for by Hillary. Further the Obama boys should have told the Court that Steele obtained much of his info from Russians that he paid. This is double hearsay because now the Court has to rely on the info by paid Russians given to paid Steele.
Any criminal law attorney could have this warrant tossed as lacking in probable cause, and all evidence obtained as a result of the warrant suppressed. This means the evidence obtained as a result of the warrant cannot be used.
This explains why the Dems wanted to bury this memo. The Russia investigation is based on evidence obtained as a result of FISA warrants illegally obtained.”
