Give thanks again for our founders who had enough to create this Constitution. It is only except for Trump and protect and keeps this Marxist for getting held of this nation.

[drypowder]

Truth and facts be damned. The first sentence is all one needs to read to know this is just another BS hit piece on President Trump.

[lastchance]

People keep telling me that LSD is not legal. I offer exhibit A as a rebuttal.

[Ann Archy]

Erwin is as ugly inside as he is outside. Good friend of Hugh Hewitt’s!

[Spok]

When libs bring up the constitution, I can’t help but LMAO. How often did we hear them say that Obama should have absolute dictatorial power?

[Rockingham]

It is hard to imagine any other context in which Chemerinsky, a liberal law professor and civil rights advocate, would endorse endless criminal investigation of an individual target when reasonable suspicion of a crime has been refuted and the target and his associates were the victims of a program of massive illegal eavesdropping.

Indeed, if Chemerinsky is correct in his reasoning, then J. Edgar Hoover is owed rehabilitation for his investigation of Martin Luther King. Obviously, by Chemerinsky's logic, King merited relentless investigation because he was echoing Communist propaganda and had Communist support and associates with Communist loyalties.

They don’t believe it themselves, but they also believe that if they say it enough it might come true.

[NutsOnYew]

Rather than let this investigation go forward

No one is stopping Muller. This is BS, as usual.

[Fungi]

Chemerinsky was part of “the smart guys” segment on Hugh Hewitt’s show when I used to listen. Don’t listen any more. Erwin was always the antagonist, no matter the subject. His reasoning is so convoluted, he can look at any color and say it is the exact opposite. A rabid liberal to the nth degree.

It seems to me I remember the Dems - with a lot of help from the media - trying to smear and discredit special prosecutor Kenneth Starr.

[Steve_Seattle]

"They still want to prosecute those who tell of Stalin’s horrors."

Liberal professors have washed that era down the memory hole. Most people under 30 probably don't even know about it, or have a very vague notion, at best. Just like the widespread violence of the 60s-70s New Left has mostly been forgotten.

If Papadopoulos lied to the FBI, I don’t understand why he did so. If you read his guilty plea admission, the allegation is that he tried to set up contacts with people in Russia who had opposition research on Clinton. That’s it. That’s all he did. That’s not a crime. So why would he lie about it?

Something’s not right with the Papadopoulos involvement. He also hasn’t been sentenced yet even though he entered his guilty plea many months ago.

[Steve_Seattle]

"Chemerinsky"

Hmmm, sounds Russian! He's obviously a treasonous tool of the Kremlin, hired to discredit our president, stifle his agenda, undermine confidence in our elections, bring government to a standstill, and bring general chaos and turmoil to our democratic process. Actually, that makes more sense than the case against Trump!

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

Apparently, the author is unaware that Congress is mentioned specifically in the Constitution. The FBI isn't, nor is there any mention of Special Prosecutors.

I'm more worried about misconduct by people we don't get to elect than by the ones we do.

[digger48]

McCarthy is coming around.

His last article about this ended with these 3 words.

“I was wrong”

[FreeReign]

Breathtaking liberal denial of reality. They STILL believe in Russia, Russia, Russia and ignore the illegal effort to install Clinton and later overthrow Trump.

It is breathtaking the level of lying that they are doing.

Big Media wears no close. And they should be embarrassed.

[Steve_Seattle]

"That’s not a crime. So why would he lie about it?"

Given the Russia frenzy that was current at the time (and which lingers on), he might have thought that he needed to cover up even legal contact with Russia, since divulging ANY contact would be used by the enemies of Trump and would trigger cries of "collusion". This guy was not a seasoned veteran of politics.

[Newtoidaho]

A more Russian, communist sounding name than Erwin chemerinsky would be difficult to come up with.

[ilgipper]

He needs to recite the Independent Counsel clause of the Constitution so we can fully understand.
