Russian meddling! What about MEXICO and their meddling in OUR Elections?
American Thinker ^ | 18 February, 2018 | Jack Cashill

Posted on 02/20/2018 12:02:09 PM PST by Howie66

Special Counsel Robert Mueller laid out the law clearly in his indictment of numerous Russian nationals and groups for their attempts to interfere in the 2016 election.

As the indictment notes, the U.S. Department of Justice administers the Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA). FARA establishes a reporting protocol for foreign nationals, including non-government individuals "attempting to influence U.S. public opinion, policy, and law." To its credit, the FBI seems to have done a good job tracking Russian individuals and entities that violated FARA even if there was no evidence of collusion with the Trump campaign or Russian hacking of the Democratic National Committee emails. If there was a link between any of these groups and the Kremlin, the indictment made no note of it.

Most importantly, perhaps, the Mueller investigation has established that meddling by foreign nationals in a U.S. election is real and problematic. This being so, the DOJ and FBI might want to turn their attention to the role Mexican nationals played in the 2016 election. They will not have to dig deep to find evidence.

I guess that Mexico gets a pass because they are always getting a pass from our Government. It sure would be nice, just once, for OUR duly Elected Officials to stand up in defense of America and the people who put them on the Gravy Train...err....into office. I guess that's asking too much, though. Bunch of worthless ingrates!

If this is all Meuller can find after more than one year in, he has exceeded the authority and scope of his investigation.

Mueller is after Trump. Not Mexicans. He thinks that this Russia nonsense will eventually lead to the President. Of course he’s wrong, as everything he does leads back to soetoro and the clinton hag. Though he’ll continue bilking the taxpayer without ever bagging those two Treason masters.

Carlos Slim practically owns the New York Times. Mexico as well as Canada do everything they can to affect US voting.

Re-post of my comment from another thread:
IF we are so freaked out by Russia’s interference in our elections -— why are we not incensed by Mexico’s interference with OUR entire political structure??? How many ads have Mexican nationals produced in an in-your-face effort to influence OUR elections and elected officials? How many Mexican nationals have actually been elected, i.e., infiltrated OUR government at the local level, in order to circumvent OUR laws? How many booklets have the Mexican Government produced and published helping and even encouraging Mexican nationals to invade OUR country and access OUR social systems for the benefit of Mexico? I can’t remember ever seeing hundreds of Russians take to OUR streets in protest of OUR laws and American interests. Why are we not holding Mexico and Mexicans in the same contempt as Russians for doing exactly the same thing -— except exponentially more of it? Do they get a pass just because we have a long contiguous border? Will it really matter, in the end, WHO usurps OUR government???

Russia and Mexico meddeling “.......he’ll (Mueller) continue bilking the taxpayer without ever bagging those two Treason masters.”.

Mueller has found a new career as he continues his never ending witch hunt to find something on Trump. He will even go after Trump should he park his golf cart in the wrong place. Time to cancel Mueller’s credit cards and pull the plus out of his computer. He is only bilking the American people for more funds daily. Shut him down.

Hey, now, they just shipped in a few tens of millions of illegal aliens a couple million of whom chose to vote. That's not, "meddling", that's the NAFTA spirit of democracy in action.

Read Hedi Cruz's paper on a North American Union, those illegal aliens not only should vote in US elections, they should be encouraged to do so and supported by US taxpayers while they work for candidates who will help bring in the golden era of the grand North American Union.

"Meddling" only applies to anyone, foreign or domestic, who isn't farsighted enough to realize that the little people in this country are too uppity and have to be smacked down so they're submissive to the Federal Nobility. Mexicans and Mexico weren't "meddling", they were dreaming.

and so it goes . . .

I’ve been thinking about this ever since Obama went on a Hispanic network before the election and told illegals they could vote without consequences.

There are a lot of people in California like me who have been shouting this from rooftops for years while we have been turning blue in the face. Where are the indictments?

What Obama instigated in the Mideast with Clinton and McCain was criminal. Let’s not forget the meddling in Ukraine.

Absolutely! Include Egypt and Libya in that mix as well. Now that I think of it, toss in Syria and Britain.
