What in the world does ANY OF THIS MATTER? Mueller and Minions DID NOT “get” Trump. So, why indict and jail mere lackies? MUELLER FAILED the Deep State.

Mueller should be arrested, tried for treason and dealt with accordingly.

Mueller is a slime ball and clearly entrapped Flynn who should have his case summarily dismissed.

What business did the FIB have questioning the General for taking to the Russkies in the first place? Flynn should have told them to phuck off.

No wonder the First President of this Republic issued a grave warning for future generations on the "dangers" of the "spirit of Party"!

George Washington on the Baneful Effects of Political Parties

“Let me now take a more comprehensive view, and warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the Spirit of Party...”

Excerpts from George Washington’s Farewell Address
September 19, 1796
 

“... One of the expedients of Party to acquire influence, within particular districts, is to misrepresent the opinions & aims of other Districts. You cannot shield yourselves too much against the jealousies & heart burnings which spring from these misrepresentations. They tend to render Alien to each other those who ought to be bound together by fraternal Affection.
...

“All obstructions to the execution of the Laws, all combinations and Associations, under whatever plausible character, with the real design to direct, controul counteract, or awe the regular deliberation and action of the Constituted authorities are distructive of this fundamental principle and of fatal tendency. They serve to Organize faction, to give it an artificial and extraordinary force — to put in the place of the delegated will of the Nation, the will of a party; often a small but artful and enterprizing minority of the Community; and, according to the alternate triumphs of different parties, to make the public Administration the Mirror of the ill concerted and incongruous projects of faction, rather than the Organ of consistent and wholesome plans digested by common councils and modefied by mutual interests. However combinations or Associations of the above description may now & then answer popular ends, they are likely, in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the Power of the People, & to usurp for themselves the reins of Government; destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.

“... in a country so extensive as ours, a Government of as much vigour as is consistent with the perfect security of Liberty is indispensable — Liberty itself will find in such a Government, with powers properly distributed and adjusted, its surest Guardian. It is indeed little else than a name, where the Government is too feeble to withstand the enterprises of faction ...

“I have already intimated to you the danger of Parties in the State, with particular reference to the founding of them on Geographical discriminations. Let me now take a more comprehensive view, & warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the Spirit of Party, generally.

“This Spirit, unfortunately, is inseperable from our nature, having its root in the strongest passions of the human Mind. It exists under different shapes in all Governments, more or less stifled, controuled, or repressed; but in those of the popular form it is seen in its greatest rankness and is truly their worst enemy.

“The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge natural to party dissention, which in different ages & countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders & miseries, which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek security & repose in the absolute power of an Individual: and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of Public Liberty.

“Without looking forward to an extremity of this kind (which nevertheless ought not to be entirely out of sight) the common & continual mischiefs of the spirit of Party are sufficient to make it the interest and the duty of a wise People to discourage and restrain it.

“It serves always to distract the Public Councils and enfeeble the Public Administration. It agitates the Community with ill founded Jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot & insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence & corruption, which find a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions. Thus the policy and the will of one country, are subjected to the policy and will of another.
 

“There is an opinion that parties in free countries are useful checks upon the Administration of the Government and serve to keep alive the spirit of Liberty. This within certain limits is probably true--and in Governments of a Monarchical cast Patriotism may look with endulgence, if not with favour, upon the spirit of party. But in those of the popular character, in Governments purely elective, it is a spirit not to be encouraged. From their natural tendency, it is certain there will always be enough of that spirit for every salutary purpose. And there being constant danger of excess, the effort ought to be, by force of public opinion, to mitigate & assuage it. A fire not to be quenched; it demands a uniform vigilance to prevent its bursting into a flame, lest instead of warming it should consume."

Wonder if Mueller or any of his team will have the common decency to commit suicide after being exposed , just like one of the Ted Stevens prosecutors did after a special prosecutor exposed Mueller’s false, malicious prosecution of Sen Stevens

Yeah, because the National Security Advisor should tell everything to a couple of FBI agents

I have issues with the Gen. Flynn matter:

1. Why would such a high-ranking officer not know basic interrogation techniques? He doesn't know how CID or others who interrogate suspected terrorists repeat their questions to trip up suspects to get to the truth? Even a nobody like me knows that's a long proven interrogation technique.
2. Why would Flynn attend a FBI interview without an attorney? Was he just naive?
3. Why would he lie about what appears to be an innocent meeting with Russians?

I really don't get why Gen. Flynn let himself get caught up in perjury to the FBI. And yes, it is a crime to lie to LEO's, even street Cops.

I hope Judge Sullivan slaps Mule Face down, and exonerates Flynn based upon prosecutorial misconduct.

Jailing Weissman, Mule Face’s hatchet boy, for a couple of weeks would be icing on the cake.

“He’s guilty as hell and deserves a light sentence. Don’t give a long sentence. We promised him a light sentence so he would lie for us so don’t piss him off.

How about your lies Bobby Boy? And your failure to comply with a court order to produce documents? Withholding evidence, obstruction of justice just to name two.

Hey Judge, this person is trying to say something in his own defense...we don’t want you to allow that because we work hard to trump up a case against him........and it requires saying we did bad things to railroad him.....
