we have a scumbucket expres who put corrupt deep state enforcers in place all over our gov, they desperately covered

up higgardly's, and their own crimes, then still lost the pres election, the higgardly campaign and dirty scum manufacture a fake

dossier, Bruce Orr TELLS THE FBI AND DOJ that the dossier was a higgardly deal that is unsubstantiated and not to be trusted,

but they refused to tell the FISA court, to assure they could destroy the Trump Campaign, in 2020, and keep the fake investgation going until they were safe from losing their careers and power etc, after a dem gets into OUR WH again.

So, they are going after players who have been around both sides of the aisle for decades, only because they associated temporarily with the Trump Camaign, for crimes before the campaign, and for crimes that have nothing to do with the russian collusion farce.

   Guilt by deliberate false narrative- yep (see supreme court nominee - and anybody else who knows Trump), lies,

harrassment, etc, and still Pres Trump is innocent, but they want most of the media to be able to use "guilt by association" all over our country.

    Just big, serious trouble.

The few pragmatic types who are lost in a sea of turds just worried about re-election. I think it is safe to say we have reached the point of just needing to pass major issues via referendum.

The indictment of former Donald Trump associate Roger Stone follows a long pattern that should raise serious concerns about the special counsel investigation.

Like virtually all of these indictments, the indictment of Stone does not charge any substantive crimes relating to Russia that were committed before Robert Mueller was appointed as special counsel. It charges crimes that grew out of the investigation itself and were allegedly committed after Mueller was appointed.

Recall that Mueller’s primary job was to uncover crimes that already occurred relating to Russian involvement in the 2016 election. He also was authorized to investigate and prosecute crimes growing out of the investigation, such as perjury and obstruction of justice, but this role was secondary to the primary one.

Well, it turns out that the secondary role has produced many more indictments of Americans than the primary one. A review of all the indictments and guilty pleas secured by Mueller shows that nearly all of them fall into three categories.

(1) Process crimes growing out of the investigation itself, such as false statements, perjury, obstruction of justice and witness tampering. These crimes resulted from the investigation itself. That doesn’t make them less serious, but it is relevant to evaluating the overall success or failure of Mueller’s primary mission.

(2) Crimes that occurred before Mueller was appointed but that cover unrelated business activities by individuals associated with President Trump. The object of these indictments is to pressure the defendants to provide evidence against the resident.

(3) One indictment against Russian individuals who will never be brought to justice in the United States. This indictment was largely for show.

Mueller’s tactic, as described by U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis, III, is to find crimes committed by associates of President Trump and to indict them in order to put pressure on them to cooperate. This is what Judge Ellis said about the earlier indictment of former Trump presidential campaign chairman Paul Manafort: “You don’t really care about Mr. Manafort’s bank fraud – what you really care about is what information Mr. Manafort could give you that would reflect on Mr. Trump or lead to his prosecution or impeachment.”

Judge Ellis also pointed out the dangers of this tactic: “This vernacular to ‘sing’ is what prosecutors use. What you got to be careful of is that they may not only sing, they may compose.” This is all too common a tactic widely employed by prosecutors, particularly in organized crime and other hierarchical cases. But the fact that it is common does not make it right. Civil libertarians have long expressed concern about the tactic of indicting someone for the primary purpose of getting them to cooperate against the real target.

I have been writing about this for decades. In fact, I coined the term “compose”  that Judge Ellis cited. But most fair-weather civil libertarians have remained silent with regard to Mueller because his target is President Trump, who they despise. The American Civil Liberties Union, which is flush with cash since Trump became president, has expressed little criticism of Mueller’s anti-civil liberties tactics.

It seems clear that the manner by which Roger Stone was arrested — an early-morning raid on his home, observed by media — was intended to put pressure on him to cooperate. Ordinarily, a white-collar defendant is allowed to self-surrender to authorities, unless there is fear of escape, which does not appear to be the case here, as evidenced by his low bail. Whether Stone “sings” or “composes” remains to be seen.

He has said he would never cooperate, but attorney Michael Cohen said he would take a bullet for President Trump — before he turned against him in an effort to get a reduced sentence. Prosecutors have many weapons at their disposal to get reluctant witnesses to cooperate, such as threatening to indict family members as in the Michael Flynn case. Civil libertarians should be concerned about the tactics being used by Mueller to get witnesses to sing. All Americans should be concerned about the ends-justify-the-means approach taken by the special prosecutor.

If, in the end, Mueller comes up relatively empty on substantive crimes relating to Russia that were committed before he was appointed, and can point only to the three categories of alleged crimes described above, it will be difficult to declare his investigation a success, or his appointment justified by the results.

Based on what we have seen thus far, it would have been far better if a nonpartisan commission of experts, like the 9/11 Commission, had been appointed to investigate Russian involvement in the 2016 election and to make recommendations about how to prevent Russia from trying to influence future American elections.

Tex if you want to be unbiased here for just a second I would think you would agree that the way Stone was arrested early in the morning with the SWAT teams and and army of armed officers with weapons at the ready was totally uncalled for. Stone is 66 years old, no criminal record, lives with his wife and dog and cats and is being arrested over a process crime. If this is not a political stunt by Mueller I don't know what is, not to mention CNN was jolly on the spot with cameras ready to go. Total abuse of power.

Remember how the GOP had the presidency and both houses of Congress for these last two years and could've launched an inquiry into Eric Holder or other Obama administration officials at pretty much anytime?

Oh... that's right...they still did nothing about it. Don't come bitching to me because the GOP didn't have the stones to do anything about it.

It all comes down to the attorney general a president has. Obama was wise enough to appoint AG's like Holder and Lynch who acted like they were Obama's personal attorney's and there was no way either of these two were ever going to appoint a special counsel to look into any of the scandals in Obama's 8 years. Trump however gets a special counsel in just a couple of months of being in office. He can thank Jeff Sessions for that. Trump's biggest mistakes were not firing Comey on his first day in office and choosing  incompetent Jeff Sessions as his Attorney General. Republican leaders begged Sessions time and time again to appoint another special counsel to look into Clinton and her campaign and he wouldn't do it. Sessions did not have to recuse himself either from the Russian investigation because of conflicts. If being conflicted was the cause for recusal then Rosenstein should have never been the acting AG in the Russian investigation because he had more conflicts than anyone yet he didn't recuse himself.
