Mueller just obtained a warrant that could change the entire Robert Mueller obtained a search warrant for records of "inauthentic" Facebook accounts

It's bad news for Russian election interference "deniers" Mueller may be looking to charge specific foreign entities with a crime FBI Special Counsel Robert Mueller reportedly obtained a search warrant for records of the "inauthentic" accounts Facebook shut down earlier this month and the targeted ads these accounts purchased during the 2016 election.

The warrant was first disclosed by the Wall Street Journal on Friday night and the news was later confirmed by CNN.

Legal experts say the revelation has enormous implications for the trajectory of Mueller's investigation into Russia's election interference, and whether Moscow had any help from President Donald Trump's campaign team.

"This is big news - and potentially bad news for the Russian election interference 'deniers,'" said Asha Rangappa, a former FBI counterintelligence agent.

Violating Terms of Service

If you’re creating a fake account on Facebook (or most other social media sites), there’s a good chance you’re violating the terms of service. In this instance, the law is clear: According to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, it isn’t illegal to violate a term of service. This advice comes with some pitfalls, however, as other actions taken while violating the terms of service could still violate criminal or civil law. As always, use common sense.

I don’t think it is. But if you do something illegal with the account, it is crime.

Funny thing is, even if President Trump did everything the democrats have accused him of doing, I'm not sure he actually did anything illegal.

I'm pretty sure that it's illegal to sell U.S. foreign policy in exchange for "donations" to your family's charitable foundation but the only people talking about this were the "fake news" accounts on Facebook.

Bottom line, Mueller's got nothing and that's why President Trump allows this charade to continue.

“Ah NO!”

Let me point out your mistake: You’re being reasonable. There is literally no there there with respect to Trump and Russia. I am, however, being logical. The imperitive is absolute and this is all the deepstate has. Ergo they take Trump down “legally”. It’s that or asassination...One of the two WILL happen.

To be sure Trump may draw a line and flat out resist them as the evil, cretinous scum that they are, but they’re gonna try it. They have to. to them the present reality is impossible.

The dems may not have thorougly thought their get Trump strategy. If they are even somewhat successful, the social media websites will have to dot there I’s and cross their T’s on election advertising for upcoming elections.

*Of course, next he’ll look into all those prepaid credit cards that were used to help fund the Obama campaign.

Mueller’s a white liberal elite... he and his band of ‘hillay butt kissers’ only go after Republicans... they are blind to democrat crime...



Obama’s Easy Credit
By Tobin Harshaw October 29, 2008 9:17 am October 29, 2008 9:17 am

“Sen. Barack Obama’s presidential campaign is allowing donors to use largely untraceable prepaid credit cards that could potentially be used to evade limits on how much an individual is legally allowed to give or to mask a contributor’s identity, campaign officials confirmed,” reports the Washington Post’s Matthew Mosk. “Faced with a huge influx of donations over the Internet, the campaign has also chosen not to use basic security measures to prevent potentially illegal or anonymous contributions from flowing into its accounts, aides acknowledged. Instead, the campaign is scrutinizing its books for improper donations after the money has been deposited.” “

Mueller and Sessions have both missed Clinton taking a $150 million dollar bribe to see uranium. Missed it tell you.

LS, this was posted by minnesota_bound, not by me. If I don’t know what I’m talking about then I’m not the only one.

It sure seems to me (and others here in FR) that Sessions is a see-no-evil, hear-no-evil, speak-no-evil guy when it comes to anything any democrat has ever done. Ever.

Now, if I am wrong about that — if we are wrong about that — nothing will make me happier, believe me. I celebrated the day Sessions was nominated. I thought Sessions would be great.

But lately it’s been less “where is the greatness” than it has been “where is Sessions”.

Maybe he’s doing great clerical work organizing things at DOJ behind the scenes, but in the meantime every filthy democrat in America is getting away with murder and the Trump administration is busy investigating the 1000% BOGUS story of the “collusion with the Russians”.

If you went through all the things DOJ has done, and must do on a daily basis, you’d stop this stuff.

Bannon told me “anyone who says ‘go out and arrest x’ doesn’t know what they’re talking about. It isn’t done that way.”

DOJ must have a solid, if not airtight evidence that it can convict, not just indict.

Trump has Sessions on trade policy (did you know he is de facto on all trade negotiations and all NSC meetings?), on current record levels of deportations, on patent infringements & China, then he had to do the DACA backgrounder, plus the cases he’s already brought against Medicare fraud, high levels of gang activities, and so on.

The “bribe” would be next to impossible to prove it was a bribe, especially from a Sec State.

Bannon had 100% confidence in Sessions and I do too. I think when some of you learn what he’s been doing-—all on a skeleton staff thanks to the Ds or with obstruction thanks to the never Trumpers, you’ll be sorry you ever criticized him.

When it turns out some democrat is behind all those accounts this “news” will just vanish.

Muell er and his team of political hacks are reaching and fabricating lies. They know a DNC insider leaked the dnc emails as it was done on eastern standard time and it wasn't a hack. They are reaching for anything at this point. Mueller r and his hack team are a disgrace trying to plant lies. WP and NYT continue to get exposed as propagandist.

You use present tense for yourself and past tense for Bannon. Is that because Bannon is shifting on this subject or you just don’t know where he stands at the present time.

Anyway, thanks for your post. You have caused me to rethink all this.

Calling B.S. on this. How does one charge a foreign entity with a crime?

Seriously, how does Mueller think he's going to charge one of Hillary's Ukranian hacks with a crime?

How does Mueller think he's going to charge a fake Facebook account registered to a Russian sitting in Vladivastok with a crime and expect to prosecute it?

He'll become a laughingstock....... (already is in my book..)

No, jt’s because I auoted him from 3 weeks ago. He didn’t chanve his opinion of Sessions in the previous year, and I haven’t talked to him about Sessions in 3 weeks

Thanks. As I said, you have caused me to re-think all this. You made your case very persuasively.

Look at it this way.

If Mueller had ANYTHING, anything at all, there would be massive leaks, and he would have run to the GJ to get an indictment on someone.

He can’t get a 3rd tier guy related to the campaign for 5 minutes on a jaywalking charge.
