Cheating in a game of cards can involve “stacking the deck” –arranging the cards in a way that advantages yourself while ensuring your opponent loses.
It appears that this is the way special counsel Robert Mueller has approached his investigation. Consider the evidence.
Mueller chose, of all places, the venue of Washington, D.C., to convene a grand jury to examine evidence in the Russia-Trump investigation. It would be difficult to find a group of people more hostile to Trump than in the nation’s capital. The president garnered a scant four percent of the vote there, compared to Hillary Clinton’s 93 percent.
There was already a grand jury convened in Virginia looking into the related Michael Flynn matter and Mueller could have easily presented his case there. But no, that would run the risk of being potentially fair to the president since the jurors there are more apt to be politically bipartisan. So, from the outset, Mueller dealt himself a high ace on his way to a royal flush.
His next card, a king, is the grand jury process itself. Over time, this Fifth Amendment principle has devolved into a one-sided farce, favoring only the prosecution. Defense attorneys are not allowed inside what has become a secret “star chamber, permitting no adverse party to challenge the truth and credibility of witnesses through the test of cross-examination. It gets worse.

They’ve been very clever, and will continue to appear so - until the shooting starts.
They are at an overwhelming disadvantage, they are like little children playing with matches in a gasoline storage facility.
Anyone believing otherwise is either a resident of the swamp or certifiably nuts.
I don’t get where these people think that ‘the deck is stacked’...
The more this Mueller crook digs, the more dirt comes out on the Dems...and Clinton, Blabbermouth, Lynch, Comey, even himself when he was FBI chief...
I think that’s why President Trump is giving him all the rope he needs...makes our side job easier to hang em high!!!
He still cannot create treason where non existed.
If he comes up with Trump not returning library books, he’s gonna get laughed off the stage.
I believe now that he is not even pursuing Trump.
I PRAY you are right, but NOTHING EVER happens to DEMOCRATS!! They ALWAYS SKATE!
If he has shrewdly stacked the deck this story would not be reported.
Bkmk
Thank you Jeff Mr. Honorable Sessions. The guy that wanted to bend over backwards to the resentful, hateful, spiteful, Trump haters. This will not end well.

Mueller knows the Russia thing is total BS so now he’s investigating “financial crimes”.
Isn’t this completely out of the scope of why he was appointed?
Don’t trust em....any of em.
This has the feel of hottest portions of the cold war, except it seems even more plausible. A populace that knows something is wrong, but has allowed/asked for the professional politicians to “run things.” A military gutted by decades of social experimentation and a determined will to gut that military. “Chaos” at the top, because that is precisely what the enemies of America want right now. And, two potential flare ups (china/india, noko/us chilln’s)that could completely destabilize the country. Add to that the possibility of little bitty nukes and there is the plot to a spy/action/thriller novel.

Little doubt Mueller and cronies are going for the jugular and have leftists lined up to help do it.
In the mean time it’s clear to (I believe) the majority it’s a set-up.
Mueller's legal team is so openly partisan that the following would be the case:
1. He won't have any credibility if he goes anywhere near President Trump.
2. He'll have an enormous amount of credibility if his findings say more about the Democrats than the Republicans in terms of misconduct or criminality in the 2016 election.
Item #2 seems outlandish, but in recent days we've seen a credible article in a left-wing media resource like The Nation exposing the DNC "hack" as an inside job, not a Russian hack. This tells me that there's a lot going on behind the scenes that is deliberately being kept under wraps ... for now.
remember Stalin’s old saying it’s not the people who vote that count ...it’s who counts the vote..
in this world it’s not the dirt found ...it’s who calls it dirt
In this case it’s the lib dictating what is and is not “dirt”
that’s why Hillary could get away with murder with no penalty and Trump can do nothing and it will be called Murder
Muller as prosecutor dictates what he prosecutes and what he does not ..he has the ability to selectively investigate Trump and make the most minor issues blow it up into a major crime
and ignore at the same time ignore massive crimes by the Dems and simply blow it off just like Comey did and Loretta Lynch did with hillary
At one time I admired and respected Sessions, now I hate the little bastard.
Trump can clear the deck by firing his @$$
NOT this time...things are not being run like they were, we are witnessing a whole different ballgame...
Then when Trump got the nomination, the conspiracy narrative switched to the general election. Then when Trump won the election, the conspiracy became the electoral college, who were going to screw him out of the presidency somehow. Then, I think on Inauguration Day, the conspirators were going to hack into the GPS of Trump's limo so that instead of being at the Capitol at noontime, Trump's motorcade would be lost in the backwoods of Virginia as, in Trump's absence, a beaming Hillary Clinton would strut to the podium and take the oath instead.
Remember the old "Batman" shows from the 1960s? It seemed they always had Batman and Robin "on the ropes" and then at the very last minute...they somehow escape their fate.
