Mueller’s Investigation Flouts Justice Department Standards
National Review ^ | Andrew McCarthy

Posted on 03/18/2018 7:52:27 PM PDT by Track9

Gates was charged with $100 million in financial crimes — and pled guilty to two minor offenses, one of them highly questionable. These columns have many times observed Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s failure to set limits on Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation. To trigger the appointment of a special counsel, federal regulations require the Justice Department to identify the crimes that warrant investigation and prosecution — crimes that the Justice Department is too conflicted to investigate in the normal course; crimes that become the parameters of the special counsel’s jurisdiction.

Mueller must be fired now. Here is why. 1. The russian collusion hoax is now dead. 2. The fisa warrants were bogus from the get go employed as an fraud by McCabe . Mueller has a conflict involving his butt boy relationship with rob rosenstein . Both signed Fisa warrants. Both need jail terms.
FIRE MUELLER!! NOWWWWWWWW!! It was a coup and must be CRUSHED!! We the people elected Donald John Trump and will physically never let you erase that election. NEVER!!!

The law gives prosecutors broad discretion, but Mueller’s investigation looks more and more like a witch hunt every day. Trump is exactly right about the makeup of Mueller’s crew, too. It’s an all Democrat dream team. It sure seems like the law is selectively applied these days depending on one’s political affiliations.

I was mainly thinking of Rush. I’m sure he’ll be talking about it.

Translation:

There was no crime, but that didn’t stop Sessions’ hand picked DAG from appointing a soviet style special counsel to bring down Trump.

It’s time for Trump to clean house at the DOJ. FIRE EVERYBODY!! Especially that backstabbing rat bastard, Jeff Magoo.

Let the media and corrupt state scream and howl. Let them threaten impeachment...If they try and do it, it’s go time.

There should be definite time limits and perimeters for these witch hunts and the investigator should definitely have no ties with the opposing party. Once the dossier was proven to be paid for by the Hildabeast, the whole thing should’ve been stopped and the liars thrown in jail.

Mueller’s Investigation Flouts Justice Department Standards

Sessions, Gowdy and Graham don't care that standards have been flouted.

These illegal and extra-legal behaviors by St. Mueller are never ever addressed by any MSM commentator or Congressman or Trump lawyer, and especially by the world’s first perfect prosecutor — Tray Gowdy.

Imo, yes. He can unrecuse himself and shut it down. He should but he won’t.

What? POTUS can not fire Mueller. Only Rosenstein has that authority. Because AG Sessions recused himself from Russia investigation as fast as he could.

The Reader’s Digest version: Mueller’s fishing expedition is illegal.

Trump can fire mueller. Mueller works for him. That’s the reason why we have elections. The DOJ is not some extra-constitutional check on the POTUS. It’s not independent.

This isn’t an investigation it’s a lynching! Can you say “KANGAROO COURT”! PERHAPS maybe a Democratic party framing.
