"Special counsel Robert Mueller's efforts to uncover the Russian interference are not a "hoax" or a "witch hunt" as President Trump has argued. They are serious and professional efforts that have now borne fruit. "

I thought this info came from a Ukrainian media report, not any series gumshoeing by Weasel Mueller.

‘Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster, characterized the allegations in the indictment as “incontrovertible.” The New York Times reported over the weekend that its Russian sources have now revealed that more than 1,000 people in Russia were involved for over three years.’

Wow, that is strange because I characterize the allegations and indictment as nonsense!

Uhhhh, nope! However....Comey-McCabe & Co "FBI INC", the BEST OF THE BEST instead had the GREAT WISDOM to just blindly use a fake dossier with Russian intelligence to go and secure a FISA Court warrant for spying on a U.S. Presidential campaign.

Yeah, and Ruth Buzzi Ginsburg is going “full speed ahead”. What are all of these people been drinking? If I was a “ham sandwich”, I would be a little “concerned” right now.

It is a felony for foreign nationals to participate in American federal elections, and it is a felony for any Americans knowingly to assist them.

Seems like a whole lot of illegal immigrants have committed felonies AFTER coming to the US. And a lot of Mexican officials and organizations and Americans should be indicted along with them.

I wish some "journalist" would ask Dems if they REALLY care about election laws, and think the laws should be applied equally to everyone. Or are Mexicans above the law like Hillary.

ITEM----Hillary Clinton ran in two Democratic primaries----2008 and 2016-----as well as in the general election in 2016.

ITEM----Intrepid investigator Mueller "uncovered" that the Russian scheme seems to have materialized at some point in 2014.

=========================================

Here's the $64,000 question Mueller's indictment does not address-------
Why didn't the CIA or the NSA or the FBI pick this up?

Were Obama's PDB's falsified?

Dates are important b/c Snowden's' revelations indicate Obama's government spying apparatus began capturing all electronic data on everyone in the U.S. in 2001.

They succeeded in mastering the capture of all keystrokes, telephone calls and digital traffic by 2005.

This we know

<><>(A) that NSA traffic travels through FBI computers, and,

<><> (B) that the CIA keeps constant tabs on Russian spies in Russia....... and elsewhere.

BOOM

Napolitano has simply gone off the deep end. He's been eating too much Swamp Dung. For starters, the Trump described "Witch Hunt Hoax" has never been about "Russian Interference". It's always been about "Trump Collusion". Napolitano has to be full of it (the Swamp Dung) to not be aware of the difference.

In my view, he's lost all credibility. He used to have some good commentary. Ever since he accused "President Obama of going “outside the chain of command in order to spy on Donald Trump" and was roundly chastised by the Swamp for saying it, he has over compensated to the point of total irrelevance.

Napolitano is a first class jackass. These indictments are a frigging joke as is the claim that 13 Russians posting memes on social media and organizing rallies had any effect on anything. The idea is ludicrous.

What's NOT ludicrous is how paid protesters showed up at Trump rallies and attacked unarmed, innocent Americans. Who sponsored THOSE rallies? Who sponsors BLM? Who sponsors Antifa? Why aren't those people under indictment. Anyone know where George Soros is?

“Why didn’t our 60,000 domestic, and God only knows how many foreign, spies catch this Russian interference?
One answer is information overload.”

Another answer is that they did catch it and considered issue-oriented blog comments by trolls such a big nothing that monitoring made more sense than exposing capabilities. Despite what this ridiculous article says, nothing has been shown that made any difference.

Hillary lost because enough of the electorate saw through her corruption, incompetence, and crime to counterbalance the millions of illegal aliens who campaigned and/or voted for her. What does McMaster think of that? Why isn’t massive foreign election interference being investigated and prosecuted?

At this point I'm just laughing at those people who say Mueller, Sessions, etc. are "white hats" and will be springing a trap on the Dems.

“The Russian work even included the orchestration of a few pro-Clinton rallies so as to deflect suspicion away from all these new pro-Trump entities that appeared to have come out of nowhere.”

The judge just pulled that one straight out of his ass. Did they also lobby support for Crazy Bernie for the same effect?

The FBI also did not miss the terrors of the Boston Marathon and the recent school shootings. They were tipped off directly on both but ignored the warnings.

“It is a felony for foreign nationals to participate in American federal elections, and it is a felony for any Americans knowingly to assist them.”

That is correct. That is why the leadership of the FBI and the Justice Department needs to be under arrest for pimping the Steele Dossier and FISA warrant fraud. How can ANYONE not mention that in an article such as this?

This is all well and good. So my question to Mueller is when will the indictment of Christopher Steele come down? My understanding is that he’s a British citizen. The evidence is out there, that he hated Trump and would do anything to see that he didn’t get elected. He has completely fabricated a phony dossier and better yet most of his information came from Russian sources.

This guy Napolitano has been so full of sh!t for a long time. I can't believe anyone pays him to write this nonsense.

Why didn't the CIA or the NSA or the FBI pick this up? That is the $64,000 question that the indictment does not address, and we may never know the answer to it. If the purpose of all the warrantless spying -- in direct contravention of the Constitution, no less -- is to keep the country safe from foreign assault, whether by bombs in a subway or by guns in an office building or by hacking into computers, why didn't our 60,000 domestic, and God only knows how many foreign, spies catch this Russian interference?

Why does Napolitano -- a freaking retired judge -- miss the obvious here? The NSA, CIA and FBI probably did pick it up. He just doesn't know about it for two reasons: (1) they can't use it in a criminal prosecution because they had no warrant, and because they'd have to expose their methods of surveillance in court; and (2) what they uncovered was so silly and inconsequential that they never dreamed it would become the focus of 13 criminal indictments.

Why would Mueller seek indictments of folks he knows he cannot prosecute? He did so for a few reasons. One was to reveal the scope of the unlawful activity that he has found. The American people are entitled to know what went on under our noses and who knew about this and looked the other way. As well, this indictment gives credibility to Mueller's work.

The simplest answer is that indicting people he knows he can't prosecute allows him to write whatever narrative he wants about the story.

If the Russians REALLY wanted to destroy the foundations of this country, they'd have one or two of those thirteen defendants come back to the U.S. to stand trial. By the time the charges were dismissed by a judge who didn't know whether to laugh or cry, most of the U.S. population would have lost faith in our entire government and legal system.

The other reason for the indictment is to smoke out any American collaborators. He has identified American collaborators, but not by proper name, and the Department of Justice has said — not in the indictment, in which case it would be bound by what it says, but in a press statement, which binds no one — that the American collaborators were unwitting dupes of the Russians. My guess is that Mueller’s American targets are under electronic and visual surveillance and that he is listening to their (premature) sighs of relief.

So the FBI et all are still illegally wiretapping the President?

The conflation is mind blowing. The question on the table “Did the Russians try to “interfere” with our democracy?”

The answer, when didn’t they? The difference here is that instead of this being a counter intelligence operation aimed at thwarting Russia in the future and retaliating in kind, we have a special counsel. Why?

Conflation: Russian meddling now equals Trump colluding with them to meddle. What also is becoming old and a usual ploy is the democrats seeking to deligitimize any election they do not win. Russian interference has been that vehicle. Trump sensed the conflation from the get go.

That the “legal genius” Andrew Napolitano can’t see that is telling of his lack of genius. All this that Mueller is doing should be going on behind the closed doors of the FBI counterintelligence and CIA as part of a spy game.
But oh no, not when we can “get Trump!!”

Witch Hunt?!?!? That is an understatement.
