The Rump Congress and the Christmas Coup

No they aren't. At least, they didn't seem so concerned when an independent council was appointed to investigate Bill Clinton. A lot of the people are the very same folks.
It is a far greater threat to our system of government for politicians to subvert the rule of law, and especially if an administration and their allies in Congress conspire together to do it. That's the reason for the appointment of this special prosecutor. Mueller's power is limited to that of a prosecutor. The only real special power he has is a certain amount of administrative independence from the people who hired him, all Republicans. The reason that he terrifies Trump and his allies in Congress is their awareness of their guilt.
Those perceptions are being deliberately stoked by Trump and his allies. They aren't Mueller's fault.
We can hope.

The JBS does at least.
The law against foreign influence is actually a constitutional law which hasn't been enforced in decades, and maybe centuries. He is floating the law openly instead of secretly. Therefore, this isn't as new as you think it is.Rex said:
Alan Dersowitz is a Democrat. He thinks Mueller is sloppy, and somewhat unprofessional. But Mueller is getting lots of documentation, so everyone is amazed.Rex said:
Whatever! Donald Trump has no clout, and never did. My hope is that Republicans start ignoring Mueller and let him do his thing, whatever it is.Rex said:
Forgive me for being to terse. I wanted to get to the point faster.
JBS?
Depends on what you're referring to. The laws against receiving campaign aide are statutory. The emoluments clauses are Constitutional.
So he claims. But he's the kind of Democrat who likes to go on Fox News to explain to their viewers how Trump couldn't possibly have broken the law on a variety of unproven legal theories. He also declared that of Keith Ellison were allowed to become chair of the DNC I don't find his theories very persuasive in general. Mueller's reputation, including among Republican members of Congress prior to the last few weeks, has always been one of great integrity and diligence.
Mueller is a pro. Trump can barely find people willing to defend him.
That's exactly what they need to do.

No worries. Terse is good with me.
You think that was hilarious; you should have see the look that kid's dad gave mine; the next time we ran into them. :chuckle:
There's still no evidence that Bob Mueller has a conflict of interest. There's still no evidence any FBI agent or Justice Department official behaved inappropriately in this investigation. The Steele Dossier is not BS, and there's no reason to believe it was the basis for any action in the FISA court. This is a bunch of lose talk, a smear job.
And as a simple correction, there's no "enabling legislation" related to appointing a special prosecutor. That would be an independent prosecutor, and the legal authorization for that was repealed. The authority for Mueller's position is found in Justice Department policy, and it doesn't discuss anything that he claimed:

A year ago this kind of loony conspiracy theory peddling would have only been found on InfoWars. Now Fox hosts talk about it openly. It's disgraceful.
Fox News tells the truth, rex. Most Trusted Most Watched. The fix was in for Trump and the dirty details are finally coming out. You must be ashamed.
No they don't.
I'm not sure that's true anymore, but it doesn't make them honest or right.
There's not a single misdeed from Mueller's team that has been uncovered. Fox is blowing smoke to cover for Trump.
The John Birch Society and the security company which owns them.
I watched that video and the only specific thing they mentioned as the change from "grossly negligent". Is that the only specific action?
No, there's much more. Andrew McCabe was grilled behind closed doors yesterday for about 10-12 hours by the Judiciary. Subpoenas are forthcoming. The FBI and the DOJ are in big trouble, including Mueller's witch hunt.
I posted about it all in previous pages.
I see your post about McCabe and subpoenas but there wasn't anything about what they did.
And what horrible conspiracy did that 10-12 hours of grilling produce?
That Trump worked with Russia to fix the election? :rotfl:
Yes, laugh at that as the evidence piles up. Good job.
