Paul Manafort asks judge to dismiss Mueller indictment in D.C.
Axios ^ | 3/15/18 | A McCammond

Posted on 03/16/2018 10:44:49 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

The argument: His lawyers, Kevin Downing and Thomas Zehnle, say the indictment isn't fair because Mueller is operating outside of the scope of his initial duty: to determine whether and how Russia worked with the Trump campaign during the 2016 election....

Rod Rosenstein [said,] "The special counsel is not an unguided missile... I'm very confident that when the history of this era is written, it will reflect that the department was operated with integrity."

“fruit of a poisoned tree”

Yes indeed and I hope the judge takes the time to look at the motion closely.

If the judge dismisses it, will Manafort be safe due to double jeopardy, or can another prosecutor/jurisdiction pick it up and run with it?

A Federal prosecutor who is appointed to oversee an investigation in one matter does not have the option to ignore prosecutable offenses in unrelated matters.

Absolutely! Unless the guilty are democrats, in which case, he’ll look the other way. Because Russia.

“The judges are part of the swamp too.”

They were all lawyers, like politicians. So at the core, lawyers created and are the largest residents of the swamp, be they lawyers, politicians or judges.

Corsi isn’t a fan of the FBI.

RosenWeasel signed the last FISA application (without any likely improvements in the verification of the allegations) perpetrating a Fraud upon the Court.

This allowed the flow of Trump surveillance directly to Mueller.

RosenWeasel is guilty of ongoing Sedition.

I disagree. Sessions was. The Weaslestein.

He is 100 percent correct, but he is in front of an Obamabot on this one, and by the time he gets his case to the Supremes, he will be broke and in jail.

Don’t wait for Jeffy to do anything. He’s trying to run out the clock on McCabe. Go out and have a nice dinner and a cocktail. Don’t waste your time waiting for the Keebler Elf to do anything.

This whole thing is a travesty of justice. Sessions should fire Rosenweasel, Mueller and his entire staff, then appoint a special counsel to investigate the entire affair.Is there no one in the DOJ willing to do the right thing?

Sessions won’t even fire the treasonous McCabe, even with a recommendation.

Whatever dimension it is, Trump lost a queen when they cornered his DOJ with Sessions’ recusal. And they traded a rook for a queen when Rosenstein became Deputy AG.
