>>Still think state lines are gonna mark the battle fronts?

Rumor has it that millions of patriots are gearing up to descend upon Washington, D.C. to shut the city down, and to keep it shut down until the criminals involved in this attempted coup are apprehended and indicted for treason and for violations of the RICO statutes.

According to Judge Napalotono, impaneling a Grand Jury allows Mueller to compel testimony, documents and other evidence. He said it means there is some “THERE” there, but seeking an indictment against whom is not known.

My bet is Mueller starts at the beginning and takes care of Paul Manafort, maybe Flynn, investigations.

This Jury is confined to the “meh, Russia” thing. There is no evidence against Trump and Russia collusion.

Why are there absolutely no leaks coming from the Mueller team? Curious. Only anti-Trump leaks are prevalent as running water from the intelligence community and the Trump White House.

Leni, do you have any source for the cost of the Watergate investigation...I just wonder how much this is all going to cost with 16 lawyers, their staffs, and now a grand jury...

Wasn’t this investigation supposed to be a counter-intelligence investigation? As per wikipedia:

In May 2017, Mueller was appointed by the Justice Department as special counsel, overseeing the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections and related matters.

Is impaneling a grand jury a normal thing to do in this type of investigation?

Mr. Mueller is investigating Russia’s efforts to influence the 2016 election and whether President Donald Trump’s campaign or associates colluded with the Kremlin as part of that effort.

Is that one investigation or two or three ?

Did Hillary sell US uranium deposits in exchange for Russia's help w/ her 2016 election?

============================================

JOINED AT THE HIP TO RUSSIA---CLINTON's CAMPAIGN MANAGER JOHN PODESTA

<><>The Podesta Brothers Lobbying Group received $900,000 in 2011/12 from the "European Centre for a Modern Ukraine, a Brussels-based organization sympathetic to Viktor Yanukovych and his political party".

<><> The Podesta Brothers Lobbying Group represent (as of 2016) the interests of Russia's largest financial institution Sberbank of Russia, which controls approximately 30 percent of Russian banking assets.

<><> The Podesta Brothers Lobbying Group carries out public relations work for the government of Azerbaijan (once a part of the USSR) for a monthly fee of USD 60,000 plus expenses.

Obama's US ambassador to Russia, Michael McFaul (r) announced he planned to travel to Moscow in December
2016 to work on ensuring a smooth transition to Hillary Clinton's (cough) presidency.

===========================================

A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS

Circa 2010--Ex-Pres Clinton in Moscow having a laugh w/ Putin
as strategic US uranium deposits were sold off to Russia for Big Bucks
facilitated by Secy Clinton, as Bill globe-trotted to set up the deal.

"Hahahaha. A Moscow bank paid 500,000 for my speech. And I get a cut and a commission on the uranium deal."

"Hahahahaha. US National security? You gotta be kidding, Vlad. Hahahahaha."

[Jane Long]

Yeah, well....that doesn’t matter, ANYMORE.

Anything the Klintoons or 0Commie did is all in the past, now.

Only thing that matters, NOW, are the fabricated stories about DJT and his family and friends.

[StormEye]

Notice how quickly the Democrats have empaneled their Grand Jury
since starting their "investigation." How many Grand
juries have did the Republicans start to investigate Hillary?

[Roccus]

When the column passes my house, I’ll join in. But I’m too old and lame to lead.

[LS]

Correct. Don’t bet on the outcome.

[Gigantor]

Bookmarked.

[kevao]

And they still haven’t found proof of collusion.

And what if they did? What law makes collusion illegal?

[poconopundit]

Did Hillary sell US uranium deposits in exchange for Russia's help w/ her 2016 election?

Now that's a tantalizing question!

[Liz]

LOL.....perfect pic.

[WrightWings]

Comey prevented a grand jury being empanelled for the Clinton email case. Mueller on the other hand empanels a grand jury for the Trump case.

We are no longer a Constitutional Republic. And the President is in very serious jeopardy.

Question is: What are we going to do about it?

Not a thing -- we are all slaves. The only difference is those that will die when they come to your door, and those who will blindly follow their masters.

But our Republic? It's dead, Jim. Been that way for decades now...

I hate this country. (Don’t get me wrong: I love and would defend to the death the US of A. I just hate this country that owns her.)

At first I thought the pic was photoshopped. ;)

[entropy12]

yes, at $500-$1500/hour x 40 hours x 6-12 months for the 16 lawyers + their staff = lots of money in the pockets of democrats, paid by tax payers. Talk about money laundering!

[Bob Ireland]

***Impeach President Trump.

Too right! ...and too likely!

[Scott from the Left Coast]

And it is to some extent foreign money...mostly Islamist money...that is behind the Deep State Tyranny and what has now become the controlling government that has usurped the United States.

[MinuteGal]

Entropy 12 gives some figures in post # 57 down-thread on what will be dished out to the 16 Dem crony lawyers and law firms Mueller has hired. His estimated figures are spot on.

The only thing missing is the countless billable hours and millions of dollars (our tax money !) that will be run up by these shysters and their staffs as they chase evidence for non-existent "crimes" to pin on the President.......or someone or anyone who is even vaguely connected with the Trump camp.
