Medieval English kings were not nice people. Edward III (1312–1377), in particular, used his son the Black Prince to wage a form of warfare called chevauchée, which consisted of killing and burning everyone and everything that could be reached by fast-moving raiders. The object was twofold. One was to destroy an opponent's logistics base and discourage supporters.
The other was to bait the opponent into leaving a good defensive position and coming out into the open, where he could be attacked; a noble needed strong nerves and a stony heart to stay behind walls while his subjects were slaughtered and his lands destroyed.
As many have noted during the past week, Robert Mueller and his legal sell-swords must have been aware for nigh onto two years, at least, that the accusation that Trump's campaign colluded with the Russians had no evidentiary support. Nonetheless, per the attorney general's summary letter to Congress, the investigation spent tens of millions of dollars, employed 19 lawyers and 40 other professional staff, issued 2,800 subpoenas, executed 500 search warrants, obtained more than 230 orders for communications records, authorized almost 50 pen registers, made 13 document requests to foreign governments, and interviewed 500 witnesses.

Including America.
Mueller case about obstruction of justice should go in front of a grand jury. No...Not the Donald Trump who couldn’t obstruct justice because there wasn’t any collusion. I am referencing Mueller’s order, as head of the special council, to DESTROY EVIDENCE in regards to Peter Szork and Lisa Page. Here, there was a crime, a criminal conspiracy to destroy the elected government of the United States. He order their communications destroyed, so Mueller OBSTRUCTED JUSTICE.
I am waiting for the Roger Stone treatment for Mueller. Then let him sing like a bird.
I agree with that. But here is the irony.
I don’t believe Mueller ever investigated the Comey firing. The reasons:
1) Rosenstein advocated for the firing of Comey. He is a witness, a participant and potentially, a conspirator. Rosenstein can’t oversee an investigation where he is a witness and a potential target. RR said he would recuse if necessary on this issue, and he never did.
2) Comey is a friend of Mueller. How close is a matter of dispute but DOJ regulations are clear, prosecutors can’t investigate potential crimes where their friends are the victim.
When Rosenstein picked Mueller to do the Russia investigation, he deliberately or inadventently created a Catch-22 where Mueller would have to leave the investigation in order to investigate the Comey firing.
If I am right, and Mueller never did investigate the Comey firing, any claims he makes about “obstruction” are going to collapse as a laughing stock - even with liberals.
Mueller knew from the beginning there was no collusion and no obstruction. So, he did what his ilk always do - destroy a few lives of people around their target.
Weren’t some of them trapped by “process crimes”?
Chevauchée. Apt term. Hillary has promised to take half of DC down with her if prosecuted. Good. BTW, the Jacquerie revolted against their timid nobles, those who were supposed to protect them. It is what we should do to rinos.
Mueller is a turd.
I agree. This turd has done so many scummy things in his life he should be in jail for the rest of his miserable life.
I’ve see the claim that Mueller knew there was no collusion for a year or so several times now. Can anyone tell me where that comes from?
It’s been recently reported that during Mueller’s 4 hr meeting with Trump before the SC was named, Rosenstein was also in attendance.
IIRC, the next day the SC was appointed.
About half way down the article, the author mentions The Conservative Treehouse. There are others like Dan Bongino who speculate this was the case because of the Strzok-Page text messages. The lead investigator Strzok didn't think there was any big there, there before joining the SC team.
Under the Calvnball rules of the DOJ wrt Trump, they may just ignore it, but if Trump said anything in that meeting that Mueller would want to later use in his “obstruction” investigation, Mueller is also a witness so he should not be the prosecutor on the case either.
