The Big Ugly - Ehy U.S. District Judge Randolph Contreras Recusal From Mike Flynn Case is a Bi Deal
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | 12-8-17 | Sundance

Posted on 12/08/2017 2:42:54 AM PST by Principled

Last night news broke that U.S. District Court Judge Rudolph Contreras “has been recused” from the case overseeing the prosecution of General Mike Flynn. Details are vague. According to Reuters, both the judge and the Flynn legal team have yet to comment.

Additionally, there is no concrete answer as to whether the recusal was done by the judge himself or was forced upon him. While the reasoning is the key, the difference between the two options adds another layer of consequence within the rest of this outline. Reuters News Service puts it this way:

ercerpt from the piece:

There is a very real possibility that Judge Contreras signed off on the FISA warrant in October 2016 that initiated the counterintelligence wiretapping and surveillance of the Trump campaign. That wiretapping and surveillance ultimately led to the questioning of Michael Flynn; the consequence of which brings Flynn to Contreras courtroom.

What’s strange is would the rats allow Contreras to be both Flynn’s FISA and case judge, knowingly? Or did the docket scheduler force it to blow his corrupt cover?

If it was forced upon him who has the juice and the stones to take such an action?

The first thing a wannabe shitstirring lawyer does is shop for their judge and call in favor owed or bought.

You think the docket scheduler is our guy and the RATS were too terrified to ‘notice’ the statistically unusual dual assignment to Contreras?

The root of this process wise is the FISA court carve out from the 4th amendment and it’s secrecy which promotes corruption. Disgusting.

The irony is we needed FISA COURT because lawyer politicians behaved unethically and illegally and would leak prosecution activities by leaking requests for discovery being sold to the highest bidder. In response to that we “needed a secret court” to keep info away from politicians.

ALL of this happened because almost EVERYONE expected the most unethical woman in the world would win. In fact, their echo chamber guaranteed it. That was all the cover they needed. The only problem is all of their shovels had no handles.

More evidence that Obama has taken this country into third world politics.

When would have the machetes come out?

This most petulant and poser of a president has unleashed to dogs of hell on our country and its patriots. It could take a hundred years to right what he wrought.

He fired all the competent generals and stacked the fbi cia and doj with his shills.

Who is responsible for the conspiracy against Trump and America?

O B A M A

One Big Assed Miscreant America!

And scary as Hell...I was around for Watergate. This makes that look like a tempest in a teacup.
