If there is any truth to the Tennessee probe of Mueller possibly framing a man there on “terrorism” charges, then he could be the one going to jail.

Just hope the Tenn. Bureau of Investigation is thoroughly professional in their investigation of Mueller, a reported communist source, and some possibly corrupt Tenn. police officers.

Apparently Jerry Corsi either knew about this probe or was beginning to look into it.

Mueller is a nasty, unethical man who should be in jail (i.e. the Whitey Bulger case charging 4 innocent men leading to their imprisonment and the death of two of them).

This is possibly why Corsi and Manafort and even Papadopoulous who is in jail right now serving a 14 day sentence, either want to withdraw their pleas, refuse any plea bargains, or have/are suing Mueller for corruption (Carter Page, Papa, possibly Manafort and even possibly Gen. Flynn).

Muller’s ties to the corrupt leadership of the FBI and DOJ call into question why he didn’t refuse to become the Special Counsel/Prosecutor. If a sane court were to review his behavior, and that of his crew, it would throw out most of his indictments/convictions and “perjury trap” guilty pleas.

I never thought I’d see an FBI leader be so corrupt politically and ethically, but I have now. He is a disgrace to America and should be in jail.

My former FBI leader friends and acquaintances would piss on his grave if they were still alive.

#49. A Pardon. After all, Comrade Obama freed hardcore Marxist Puerto Rican terrorists and tried his best via Holder, to get their Castroite leader Lopez to take the deal (which he refused).

He also pardoned crooked businessman/political hustler Mark Rich (as I recall, Rich’s wife gave beaucoup money to the Clintons political campaigns).

Mueller is corrupt, plain and simple and he is afraid of what Manafort and others might say even from jail.

If I were Mueller, I would be very afraid of these political prisoners but also of Bulger’s friends who just might have somethings stashed away for “plea day” if they were convicted of anything.

The Mafia is often smarter than Mueller and their memory is Long, Very Long.

Let me guess. The plea deal was similar to the one mule was trying to get Corsi to sign, which was basically to agree to mule's lies. But since they were lies, mule can now persecute Manafort for them. A lose/lose proposition.

I'm so glad that Corsi refused to take part in mule's ongoing crime spree.

Paul Manafort is 69. Not sure what this was supposed to get him. He’s effectively in for a life sentence no matter what.

Trump will pardon him and everybody else tripped up in this witch hunt.

Mueller reneging on his end fo the deal. Must mean Manafort has nothing to offer against Trump, else why would a prosecutor prove their witness is unreliable.

Sure Mnafort will nullify the plea agreement. He needs some press, and President Trump will likely pardon Manafort anyway.

Mueller wants his pound of flesh before he exists, STAGE LEFT.

Mueller is following Saul Alinsky Strategy.That may signal his death, “Rules for Radicals” will not be allowed to replace the Constitution.

Now, however, Manafort’s useless as a witness to Mueller. The special counsel has done a lot of work for nothing — or at best, nothing the DoJ couldn’t have accomplished on its own regarding Manafort and his ex-partner Rick Gates. Not only have they demolished Manafort’s standing as a witness, by calling Manafort a liar they have poisoned any information the special counsel has developed through his earlier cooperation.

The Gardian reported today that Manafort met with Assange, Assange bet the guardian $1,000,000 that he never met with him and it’s FAKE NEWS.

The biggest loose cannon is Trumps old lawyer. Hes already pleading guilty to crimes that are not crimes.

I was watching fox news, and Corey Lewandowski was on. They have a new about the corruption , the wire taps, Fisa, insurance policy. They interviewed Trump, and he lets it all come out. He hits Obama, saying he thinks Obama knew all of this was going on, so I expect Trump to draw Obama into the fight, call him on the carpet and let the country see the communist thug undressed and exposed as the communist dirt bag he is.

The day Mueller stops, the offense really begins, and Trump has a loaded cannon. I’m sure Trump will begin bashing all of them, non stop, twitter and campaign trail. A virtual war.

If you combine this with the Corsi story, what you have is two of Mueller’s key witnesses refusing to submit - even at the risk of added prison time.

It suggests Mueller is trying to “squeeze water from a stone” - he is offering them plea deals if they give him dirt on Trump, but they have nothing to give because there simply is no dirt.

It suggests that Mueller a) truly believes Trump is guilty of something and that he can force testimonies from these witnesses, or b) knows Trump is innocent but is trying to extort these “witnesses” into making false testimony anyway.

The latter is less likely, but either way, Mueller appears to be in a weak position (assuming Trump is innocent, which I certainly do).

Put it this way: If Trump were guilty, there is no way these two would face lengthy prison terms to protect him - it would be stupid - why would they? For one thing, a guilty man doesn’t inspire that kind of loyalty. For another thing; if Trump were guilty, these two would assume the truth would “out” and that Mueller would eventually get his proof. Their lawyers, their families, would urge them to take the plea deals.

Consider the more likely alternative: Trump is innocent and these witnesses know it - they are being offered plea deals if they testify that he is guilty - but that would be perjury against a sitting POTUS, and therefore a VERY serious crime. Their lawyers and their families are urging them to reject the devil’s bargain.

This is why I don't think Mueller will stop until Trump is out of office or impeached. Mueller is the firewall for the cabal; Obama, Clinton et. al. If Mueller stops, Trump can and will burn it down.

Such as whatever presumptions caused you to lose the continuity and question reality.

I am going to take mark Twain’s advice now concerning “arguing with a fool”.

Have a great day.
