Last night I came across a tweet by former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee in which he said, I wish we had Lt. Columbo right now, to walk into the special counsels office and say, 'You know, theres something about this that bothers me '"

Manafort appears determined to fight it out and defend himself from charges that would have never been brought had he not supported and worked for a short period of time on the presidents political campaign. Apparently he has the money to do so at least for the time being, as the prosecutors have an endless amount of money to spend in their quest for victory and are accountable to no one, as to how they spend it, or why.
Former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn started out the same way, wrongfully assuming what most Americans once did, that if you havent done anything wrong, you have nothing to hide, and your cooperation is your best bet.
Unfortunately, he learned the hard way, that politically motivated prosecutors arent concerned with the truth, or give a damn about your service to our country, or how devastating their pursuit for a conviction can be personally, financially, or professionally, annihilating you. For years, prosecutors have compelled guilty pleas of innocent people by pressuring their families, or extorting false witness testimony to obtain their convictions, it took this, the Manafort, Cohen and Flynn cases, for the public and press to pay any attention to it. In Flynns case, he pled guilty to making a false statement, but had he not, the government would have targeted his family, and bankrupted him, so he had no choice.

I was just thinking, when you take statistics you learn how to fudge the numbers, so when you are a lawyer they teach you how to break the law?
Apparently, this character, Mueller, is to be allowed his egomaniacal grandstanding and exorbitant waste of taxpayer funds until he gets tired of it - despite his political bullying finding NOTHING worthy of note.
Hopefully Trump is letting “evil come to full fruition” so this sort of thing can end, once and for all.
Write it down and, if you can’t remember it, carry it in your purse or wallet:
“I would very much like to cooperate with you and have every intention of doing so. But I cannot and will not answer a single question until such time as I have the opportunity to consult with my lawyer”.
We all hold the Trump Card (to coin a phrase).
If you are on a jury, and ANY of the evidence was touched by the FBI, you must vote to ACQUIT!
A couple years of constant nullification will defang the beast.
Thanks Jeff.
It does scare me that Obama was able to weaponize the DOJ, FIB and the CIA in just 8 short years. Now Mueller is moving any cases against Dems to Leftist NY, where they will be tabled and forgotten. OUR COUNTRY DESERVES BETTER! I pray that only the good people will rise to the top and be in control, and that all the criminals will be held accountable.........including Mueller himself. (It is appalling that Mueller is in charge of the investigations after Trump passed over him for Head of the FIB. Can you say GRUDGE? I knew you could) (Oh, and remember how the Obama Admin was always allowed to investigate itself and was never able to find any wrongdoing?? Our country is at the edge of a precipice......I hope we dont jump)
You telling me a jury in Washington DC would agree with that?
I look at it as “give them enough rope, and they’ll hang themselves.”
No, I’m saying it has to start with US.
An FBI that can’t get convictions, and which no one will talk to, will quickly become irrelevant.
Magoo is partners with Mueller in the weaponization of the Justice Dept.
statement to make to authorities....
I am serious: is that the current best worded statement someone suggested who is familiar with all this?
I watch DVDs of old crime shows and now am happy to see your post on what must be the “best practice” for us.
We may be accused of being a Trump supporter or a FReepr or something.
Yep. It appears that several years from now, they’ll still be working their way through the gossip and private affairs of the whole population.
They have used this as a diversion while they clean all traces of innocent blood from their dungeons. The administration, on the other hand, is also using this time to build an iron clad case against them all. It is global. Now that I think of it, it’s kind of like trying to get rid of the invasive vine that grows a foot a night, covers forests and kills whatever it DARKENS. Our trees are dying under its canopy. They need the light, and the CO2. :)
Or
“I do not answer questions from law enforcement or agents of the state without reviewing with my attorney.”
“In the spirit of cooperation, you may submit your questions in writing to my attorney and we will review and respond appropriately.”
President Trump could short circuit the move by Mueller to short circuit investigations into Dems by appointing multiple CONSERVATIVE special prosecutors.
And hire a bodyguard, put a security system in my house, carry a body cam, pepper spray (or arms), plus check the brakes on my car before I go anywhere. Should I get an accountant first?
if you are going against the DOJ, get a TOP lawyer, not a C graded lawyer.
Deep State = Praetorian Guard
