    Default “Brilliant Evisceration”

    But I suppose there is no credibility here, and no 'facts' and nothing improper and nothing worthy of further investigation.

    “Brilliant Evisceration”: Former Prosecutor Explains Why Mueller Witch Hunt Epitomizes Obama-DOJ-FBI Corruption

    In a thought-provoking piece penned by Andrew C. McCarthy, the former prosecutor explains why Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe sums up the moral decay suffered by the Justice Department and FBI under former President Obama.



    Editor of the New Criterion, Roger Kimball, calls McCarthy’s piece a “brilliant evisceration.”

    Former assistant U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York and National Review fellow Andrew C. McCarthy writes:

    Mueller succeeded in convincing a federal judge to force an attorney for Manafort and Gates to provide grand-jury testimony against them. As Politico’s Josh Gerstein reports, just as the charges against these defendants were announced with great fanfare, the U.S. district court in Washington, D.C., quietly unsealed a ruling compelling the testimony of the lawyer — who, though not referred to by name in the decision, has been identified by CNN as Melissa Laurenza, a partner at the Akin Gump law firm.

    […]
    Why do I think that, in choosing to set up shop in Washington, Mueller and his team noted the district court’s local rule that vests the chief judge with responsibility to “hear and determine all matters relating to proceedings before the grand jury”? (See here, Rule 57.14 at p. 168.) And why do I think that the Trump collusion case is not getting the kid-glove Clinton emails treatment?

    Obama prejudiced the emails investigation. Long before it was formally ended, he publicly pronounced Clinton innocent. He theorized that she had not intended to harm the United States. Even if true, that fact would be irrelevant — it is not an element of the statutory offenses at issue, under which several military officials, who also had no intent to harm our country, have nevertheless been prosecuted. (It also had nothing to do with her quite intentional destruction of thousands of emails, many relating to government business — also a serious crime.)

    As night follows day, the FBI and the Justice Department relied on Obama’s errant and self-interested rationale in dropping the case against Clinton and her accomplices. What did Obama’s subordinates do after he patently interfered in the investigation? Well, then-FBI director James Comey began drafting a statement exonerating Clinton months before the investigation ended — i.e., before over a dozen key witnesses, including Clinton herself, had been interviewed.

    The Trump Collusion Case Is Not Getting the Clinton Emails Treatment

    If the Justice Department is hell-bent on making a case, it plays an intimidating game of hardball.

    In July 2016, the Obama administration announced its decision not to prosecute Hillary Clinton for felony mishandling of classified information and destruction of government files. In the aftermath, I observed that there is a very aggressive way that the Justice Department and the FBI go about their business when they are trying to make a case — one profoundly different from the way they went about the Clinton emails investigation. There, they tried not to make the case.

    That observation bears repeating today, as we watch Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of any possible Trump-campaign collusion in Russia’s alleged interference in the 2016 presidential campaign. Mueller is a former FBI director and top Justice Department prosecutor. To say he is going about the collusion caper aggressively would be an understatement. The earth is being scorched by the stunningly large team he has assembled, which includes 16 other prosecutors (among them, Democratic party donors and activists) along with dozens of investigators (mostly from the FBI and IRS).

    At the end of October, Mueller announced the first charges in the case. In the intensive commentary that followed, another investigative development attracted almost no attention. But in terms of Mueller’s seriousness of purpose, it speaks just as loudly as the George Papadopoulos guilty plea and the indictment of Paul Manafort and Richard Gates.

    Mueller succeeded in convincing a federal judge to force an attorney for Manafort and Gates to provide grand-jury testimony against them. As Politico’s Josh Gerstein reports, just as the charges against these defendants were announced with great fanfare, the U.S. district court in Washington, D.C., quietly unsealed a ruling compelling the testimony of the lawyer — who, though not referred to by name in the decision, has been identified by CNN as Melissa Laurenza, a partner at the Akin Gump law firm.

    Way to ignore the major point being made to finger point at one Republican.

    You see even the remotest of wrongdoing on the right and you call for heads to fall. But when it's things like this and so many things that may involve the left - it's "your" guy and that's it? Don't you care about the law? Do you only care about wrongdoing if it's a rightie? And before you even think about it, what did I say should happen to anyone on the right should they be found guilty during this current investigation? That's right, adios!! They should be talking to steel bars for quite some time - but that applies to ANYONE in our government that breaks laws and/or takes advantage of the people, or profit illegally... It shouldn't matter if it's Holder in office, Lynch or Sessions.
