Well, this is silly. Andrew McCarthy is operating under the idea there are laws and a process. Mueller is the law and Trump is guilty. Mueller just has to find or create a crime to find Trump guilty. No trial. No evidence. No process.
It’s the new way. Trial by press mob.
And don’t worry about there being 330 million privately owned firearms in this country. I’m sure half the country won’t mind at all that their elected President was railroaded out of office on fake pretense generated by the political opposition and aided and abetted by the FBI. That’s all perfectly fine. Don’t worry.
Comey Confirms: In Clinton Emails Caper, the Fix Was In

He knew Obama’s Justice Department would sweep Hillary’s violations under the rug, so he played along.

Before we turn first to leaking, some disclosure. I am fond of Jim Comey and have been for 30 years. I vigorously disagree with both his handling of the Clinton emails investigation and the manner in which the FBI has conducted what is supposed to be a classified, counterintelligence probe of Russia’s interference in the 2016 election — not a public, government-orchestrated campaign of insinuation that Trump was complicit in Russian perfidy.
No doubt because of my personal regard for him and respect for his high-end ability, I am inclined to cut the former director slack. He was thrust into a no-win situation: It is not his fault that Democrats nominated a criminal suspect, or that Republicans nominated an irregular politician heedless of the norms of discretion and distance that a president should maintain when dealing with his law-enforcement subordinates. Comey aside, I had no better friends in nearly 20 years as a federal prosecutor in New York than Dan Richman, the Columbia Law School prof through whom Comey transmitted information to the New York Times, and Pat Fitzgerald and Dave Kelley, Comey’s lawyers [and yada yada yada]....
I think there should be a wire tap placed on FBI Mueller, and hire 12 experts to go after everyone that he has talked to for the last 12 years. I think we can find something.
Absence of evidence of a serious crime
No collusion, no scheming with Russia to corrupt the US election - at least by Trump
Either turn the investigation into Hillary collusion with Russia by accepting fat fees for favors and to avoid blackmail
Or End it
McCarthy is giving perfect advice with flawless reasoning behind it. He lays it all out, no holes, and there is no excuse for not following it to the letter.
If Sessions and Rosenstein are “good guys,” they will state publically they will not allow Trump to be interviewed with no stated underlying significant crime.
(As McCarthy states, campaign finance stormy violation theories are nebulous at best, and not worthy of a POTUS interview.)
This will be solid evidence which side Sessions and Rosenstein are on. Proof positive.
Place your bets.
