Prosecutors have granted immunity to David Pecker, the CEO of the company that publishes National Enquirer, as part of their investigation into President Trump's longtime lawyer Michael Cohen.

NDAs are not a crime.

I’d like to see a comprehensive list of all the people who have been granted immunity in politically-related cases in the past few years. Heck, in the entire time since zero’s inauguration. I’ll bet they’re all (or nearly all) leftists, most of whom have committed felonies.

They won’t. Other than doing a 180 and buying MAGA hats, this is all they have.

they will not stop and killing americans is no problem for them, we are at war with a group of traitors in the intel agencies and our own gangstamint..If they believe the coup will not complete count on war..this will not go quietly into the night, we no longer have a country, no justice, no country, just sadly wondering why podesta, hillary and the bunch are not swinging from a rope, if they can get away with it, we are toast..I feel a little crispy all ready..
Trump, if you really want America great again you must destroy the intel agencies and reform with stricter oversight in smaller groups..someone like strok, and comey, hillary, podesta, and the seth rich murderers if not deeply prosecuted we are done.. if the govt will no longer do what they are in existence for..watch the fall into oblivion

Old news, Trump wanted to purchase the non-disclosure rights and the Enquirer wanted to retain them

Of COURSE they did. This is a man who gave vicious murderers immunity. He doesn’t care what damage he does, as long as he wins.

I think the only one to stop this nonsense is President Trump. I’d prefer that he do it today, but assume he’s trying to not create chaos for the GOP’rs seeking election in November.

ANY rational thinking adult would conclude that Mr. Mueller’s fishing trip failed. His shake-down efforts of Cohen, Manafort and Papadapolous are not giving him any traction either. There’s no Russian collusion. There’s nothing to see here.

Further, given what we know about a fake dossier and who funded it, a FISA court decision based on fake evidence, corruption at the FBI, etc. This needs to stop.

The Left needs a reality check. 60M Americans voted for President Donald Trump and this attempted coup will not be tolerated.

Agree, what about the NDAs and payments that were made relating to sex harrasment suites brought by congressional staff members against congressmen? They were paid for by Government money, were they campaign contributions? Were they reported?

Per Rush, this CEO and Trump are long time friends. Per what Rush has “heard”, Trump wanted Pecker to “go after his enemies” and do negative stories/bury stories not favorable to Trump. Allegation is Trump wanted magazine to suppress the story of Trump paying off women. Rush says this could be viewed as a bribe and or illegal contributions to interfere with the outcome of the election.
This is really getting serious. The deep state is ramping up a frontal attack to remove this duly elected President.

We are watching a frontal attack on the Constitution according to Rush. What can we as citizens do, being up against the power of federal prosecutors?

Better question: when do we start?
