First Charges Filed in Mueller Investigation

So this reaffirms what many on here have been saying and what Wrangor refuses to acknowledge.

Mueller had declined to say one way or the other whether Trump should have been charged, citing a Justice Department legal opinion that sitting presidents cannot be indicted, as well as concerns about the fairness of accusing someone for whom there can be no court proceeding.

“Each of us believes that the conduct of President Trump described in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report would, in the case of any other person not covered by the Office of Legal Counsel policy against indicting a sitting President, result in multiple felony charges for obstruction of justice,” the former federal prosecutors wrote.

“We emphasize that these are not matters of close professional judgment,” they added. “Of course, there are potential defenses or arguments that could be raised in response to an indictment of the nature we describe here. . . . But, to look at these facts and say that a prosecutor could not probably sustain a conviction for obstruction of justice — the standard set out in Principles of Federal Prosecution — runs counter to logic and our experience.”

To repeat, Papadopoulos never told Downer anything about emails. Moreover, the Mueller report provides no basis for Papadopoulos to have known that Russia was planning the anonymous release of information damaging to Clinton in order to help Trump; nor does the Mueller report allege that Papadopoulos actually told Downer such a thing.

118
The State Department’s report to the FBI claiming that Papadopoulos had “suggested” these things to Downer was manufactured to portray a false connection between (a) what Papadopoulos told Downer and (b) the hacking and publication of the DNC emails. That false connection then became the rationale for formally opening the FBI’s Trump-Russia investigation — paper cover for an investigation of the Trump campaign that was already under way.

It was NEVER about the emails for Papodapous.

Once again the right is lying and scamming lemmings like sailor.

Man you guys are really doing some mental gymnastics to rationalize your boys’ unethical and unpatriotic behavior.

Multiple members of the Trump campaign (including Papadapolous) spent the better part of 2 years lying about their contacts with Russia. Including lying to you.

You don’t spend that much time lying if all of your actions are above board.

No one has lied nearly as much as you and the lubish media. Lying and self-deception are integral parts of TDS.

God you sound like a prepubescent lowbrow child.

Go put your head back in the sand and keep complaining about Obama’s golfing.

McGahn has just told the House to pound sand about the documents they requested. This is becoming a true constitutional crisis that will have repercussions for decades to come.
