Thanks bitt. excellent posts.
That's not going to happen.
The use of martial law (rule by the Military) has been extremely sparse in American history. Lincoln did not declare martial law even during the Civil War. Several steps that he did take were later found Unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, and the Congress passed additional laws to limit the use of the US Military in domestic affairs, specifically the Posse Comitatus Act.
The Wikipedia article on Martial Law lists all the uses of it by the Federal Government, and is worth a quick perusal.
President Trump has shown much greater fidelity to the Constitution than any President since Reagan, so I don't think he's going to start flagrantly ignoring it with some mass martial-law decree.
I know that's a popular fantasy here, but it's just not going to happen, short of the legitimate reasons for it like a serious attack on the USA by foreign armies. (Red Dawn scenario, which again is not going to happen).
No way martial law is declared in the USA in 2019.

“As our investigation progressed, we found a culture of mismanagement, abuse of authority and lax accountability that started clear at the top and set a terrible standard for other employees.”

Four-year Senate investigation finds US Marshals Service plagued with corruption
(I want so desperately to make the list...)
BTW Bags, Feel-Good story of the day
#FooAsGoodAsYou
Cops say a would-be kidnapper chased a woman -- into a karate studio. That was a bad move.
So they’re just as bad, thanks.
Plus can’t show up, plus can’t do any of the work and clerks do it all, etcetc. Who knows how much of the day she’s even semi-conscious.
I used to make my own lunch and bring it. In first grade!
I’ve used “Crap Sack” before, yet I failed to make the list. I’m gonna have to up my game, lol
Is there any federal agency that isn't plagued with corruption?
Short answer; no.
Nope.
Historically, control people's means for subsistence and you are able to control entire nations. These days MOST people have only a FEW days of food available. We're on thin ice. The slightest disruption, or imagined disruption, in our supply chain will put the entire country in a panic, and may be one reason Q wanted to dial back the scare.
All REAL patriots should be able to provide for their own needs: Bullets; Beans; Band-aids, in times of crisis. Defeats in war are often brought about by disruptions in lines of resupply. Understand this: We ARE at War!
For those who think we're going to regain control of this country without a fight, or without serious disturbances in social order, have another thought coing. And for those who put their full confidence in one person, or even a team of pesons, read your bible. It's a great source of what's coming, if this be the start of a new age and I for one believe it is.
I'm posting the warning again. Suggest everyone take note of the individual's credentials. Ask yourself these questions:
First, what determines if his warnings to prepare are histrionic or prophetic.
Second, what does it cost to prep verses what will it cost if not prepared.
TY for the OP.
This is a pretty balanced view of Sessions. Yes, time will tell.
If Mueller's investigation causes even more trouble for Trump I think the net will be that Sessions was a horrible choice for AG, and cost far more trouble than he was worth. Of course if Huber pops up with 50,000 arrest warrants then Sessions was a genius. I think we'll know by the end of the year, it's not going to take a generation to figure it out.
It is possible that Mueller is dragging out his investigation of the president due to the damaging counter information that will be presented at it’s conclusion. ... But once they go after Trump, the evidence of illegal monies, vote tampering, etc., will result in many congressional critters being prosecuted or being swing votes against Trump until they leave in 2020 just as the never-trumpers left the GOP ranks in 2018.
I think Mueller is dragging out his investigation for exactly this reason. Unlike a lot of people I don't think he's going to issue any report any time soon. I think he will continue to take some action roughly once ever 60 days or so, just as he has. I'm sure there are a lot more small fish he can indict for nonsense. Jerome Corsi and Roger Stone both claim to be in his sites. Every time he charges someone, no matter how minor or seemingly disconnected from his original charter of investigation of Russian Collusion, he gets another 3 months, at least, to work before winding it up.
I believe his end game is to hold on until the end of the Trump administration, he hopes in 2020, at which point the new Dem DOJ will not prosecute the many Deep State Coup activities.
As long as his probe is running any attempt by Trump to expose the Deep State players will be met with outrage by Mueller and Trump will be stepping into the trap. Trump has been told, in writing, by Rosenstein that decalssifying FISA warrants will be considered Obstruction of Justice by Mueller. (Clinton was impeached for Obstruction of Justice. Trump wants to avoid that.)
I don't think Mueller gives a damn about the House impeaching Trump. I don't think he feels the need to provide them a roadmap, or a report, or work to their time frames. What's good for him and his cohorts is to keep the investigation going as long as Trump is POTUS, to keep Trump distracted, and to keep all the evidence against the Deep State bottled up. I have also heard that the OIG can not get a lot of evidence as long as Mueller is holding onto it. So: another benefit of the infinite investigation.
That's my current theory of what Mueller is doing.
