Sen. Rand Paul: Mueller has abused his authority ["it is a witchhunt"]
Fox News ^ | April 10, 2018 | n/a

Posted on 04/10/2018 8:01:44 AM PDT by Ken H

Excerpt => PAUL: "He is looking at some kind of personal dealings with the President’s lawyer. And imagine, once they get this, they have all of the information that the President has ever discussed with the attorney and they say, 'Oh, we’re not going to use the stuff that’s attorney/client privilege.' But they’ll read it. And you think once they read it it might give them ideas of other places the look. There's this concept called parallel construction. They don’t actually use the information they read but they now have that information and can use it to go snooping in other areas. Really, this is a wide open — the President is right, it is a witch hunt but it's a wide open thing and a mistake to ever have these special prosecutors.

“Watch the video. Paul isn’t supporting POTUS outside of his pet FISA issue. He’s still all in on the IG farce. Against POTUS on Tariffs, etc. He doesn’t really sound much different than McConnell.”

Bullshit. He was very supportive of the President, agreeing it was a witchhunt, among other things. Why snark at someone when he’s helping the President?

"....Maybe congress could shut this thing down....."

Congress can't shut the Mueller thing down anymore than they can pass a law preventing Trump from firing Mueller.

They have constitutional oversight responsibilities but they don't control the Executive Branch.

Trump can fire Mueller and stick a big finger in everyone's face and tell them to go ef themselves.

In a unrelated story:
The FBI storm Sen.Paul’s home.

________________________________________

Who’s to say the FBI didn’t already storm Paul’s house? Remember in January when his idiot neighbor assaulted Paul? Perhaps the neighbor was an FBI stooge out to send Paul a message.

/sarc or no /sarc. Can’t decide.

On the other hand, what if Mueller continues to ignore the 4th amendment and due process?

_____________________________________________

Good question. I, for one, have long believed that Mueller has criminal ties to the Clinton Crime Foundation, the Obama Regime, the crooked FBI, and other illegal activities.

It wont be long before he’s leading an investigation to being under investigation.

If Trump survives this raid and special counsel... imagine his immediate power to raid his political opposition and the left - the power they have exerted to damage and destroy Trump in Trump’s Hands will destroy the Left.... Then after the carnage maybe Trump can restore the Constitution to Pre-1968 DNC.

Rand breezily spoke about Mueller. Then spent far more time on his support of IG and ripping Trump on tariffs.

Why is it so hard for Rand to tweet his support of POTUS? So hard to speak up for him when Grahamnesty was threatening impeachement.

Rand is not a bystander here. He is soft peddling his support of POTUS to his own benefit. He could be engaging McConnell on the behalf of a POTUS of his own party. That is not tells you exactly what you need to know about Rand.

Sorry, that is wishful thinking because Trump’s own party won’t support him on taking out criminal Democrats. Contrast that to the Democrats who never stop fighting. Ever.

The raid is completely outrageous and all lawyers should be up in arms over it. Our offices and computers are like safe zones and the violation of them is wrong. If there is any lawyer around who doesn’t view this with horror, he/she is blind.

Welcome to the Banana Republic of VenezuelAmerica.

Mike Cernovich on Twitter yesterday:

"Watching criminal defense lawyers celebrate today’s raid is peak Trump Derangement Syndrome."

Read that again - Lefty criminal defense lawyers are celebrating the coup against President Trump.

He only has to fire Sessions and recess appoint a replacement he is real sure will fire Rosenstein. Then, his new AG can focus on Mueller and fire him for cause.

You are FOS. Rand did not mention the IG in the first segment. After his attack on Mueller, the reporter changed the topic to Pruitt, who Rand supported as well.

Stop trashing Trimp allies.

Trump can fire Mueller and stick a big finger in everyone's face and tell them to go ef themselves.

And if they have a problem with it, President Trump can just jerk his thumb over his shoulder at the millions of us who have blood in our eye, and would like nothing better than to hoist the black flag over the Swamp...

Do

Not

Vote

For

Them


Sadly, most still will.

"Oh, Lordy, Lordy!" They'll call out, "I ain't NEVAH gonna go vote for no DemocRAT! No suh!"

Many come here around election time to browbeat those of us who lobby to drain BOTH sides of the Swamp. It's the only way to clean house - even if it means pain for a while. "No suh! No suh!" They'll yell, arms raised high. "Ohhh Lordy, it'll be the end of us!"

And the corrupt GOP smiles.
