“$1000 per hour x 60 hrs per week x 16 lawyers x 52 weeks =
$50 million”
Yep, and there are so many law schools such that there are lawyers are everywhere. If I ever hear the words “Legal Reform” brought to the floor in the House and Senate, and attorneys are subjected to the same scrutiny that physicians have been, drinks are on me.
Post Of The Week. LOL!
Is Mueller immune from corruption charges?
Yes Virginia, it is all about Trump. This isn’t a real investigation, done for a real cause. Maybe you can enlighten us what crime is being investigated.
This is purely a fishing expedition, examining every aspect of Trump and anyone within 7 degrees of separation. And solely based upon a DNC wild accusation without the slightest proof.
We have more evidence that they may have murdered Seth Rich or that Podesta is porking little boys than there is evidence that Trump “colluded” with Russia. Which even IF true isn’t a crime.
Ha
Comey admitted to being against Trump, taking notes against Trump since January , 2017. Something he never did with Zero.
Comey admitted asking his Professor friend to dictate his so called notes from his meetings with Trump to a reporter at NYT.
Comey then admitted to leaking his Trump notes to NYT via his friend in an effort to appoint a special counsel to investigate Trump.
Comey then asked the committee if he could meet with Special Counselor Mueller , whom he purposely put in place, PRIOR to giving testimony to Congress in order to get their stories straight. .
Comey is a douche bag as is Mueller. Talk about colluding to take down a sitting President by two former corrupt FBI directors who are Deep State Dem operatives? LOL Mueller is a joke. AGAIN, Comey asked to meet privately with hack Mueller prior to his testimony. That is unheard of. They are both political hacks.
So yea, we WILL not forget this fake witch hunt is about Trump. It's a joke and needs to be exposed for its political hackness.
The big government milk teat for democrat lawyers.
The FBI supplies the investigators.
Given the enormous size of the legal team in the Special Counsel's office, there may be dozens of FBI special agents assigned to matters the Special Counsel is investigating.
As far as people wondering whether Mueller will investigate Hillary or some other non-Trump person, the answer is no.
His jurisdiction is to investigate only links or coordination between the Trump campaign (including obviously Trump himself) and the Russians.
No particular crime is specified. In theory, he can look at anything in Trump's life or businesses, because a Russian link might appear anywhere.
How about a warrant to search the closets in Mar-A-Lago? Sure, that's not out of the question because a Russian in theory could be hiding in the closet.
But in theory Mueller does not have authorization to investigate the Clintons or the Awans or unmasking or anything other than Trump and others on the Trump campaign.
Appointing a Special Counsel in the absence of a crime is a violation of DOJ regulations, and the entire investigation is a travesty, but you have the entire Democrat party and the entire GOPe Donor Class and their hired Senators and Congressmen supporting this.
Sessions was required by DOJ policies to recuse himself, as he was involved in the Trump campaign that is under investigation.
“Sessions was required by DOJ policies”
Policies written by Loretta Lynch.
If he had balls he would change the policies.
Lawyers have investigators who work for their agenda.
“Appointing a Special Counsel in the absence of a crime is a violation of DOJ regulations”
Bingo.
And Sessions is spending his time going on field trips to El Salvador. When is he getting fired?
Let them. We’ll have names.
Is Trump busy tweeting while Mueller and the league of lawyers sink his presidency?
Trump needs to take control. Tell everyone this is a wasteful witch hunt and he has two weeks to produce something or he’s fired for abusing his position.
Amen.
HIRE 14,000,000,000,000,000 MORE!!!!! :)
He is making the case for Trump to shut this nonsense down SO EASY!! :)
They’ll have more left wing lawyers than customers served at McDonalds pretty soon :)
Well, Hilliary was one of the Watergate lawyers. Her first stint as a lawyer (ie, not as a cattle futures specialist). She was for the most part fired by her boss at the time.
OK just who in the hell appointed this whack job back into a job where we knew if given the chance he would waste our money and chase down any conservative leader he could get his hands on. Who? Tell me who....
Only in the event of a crime. No crime was detailed and still has bot been. As Fitton, Sekulow, and other lawyers have pointed out, Sessions could unrecuse himself today.
This is why Session’s move still infuriates me.
