Mueller Investigation: Illegal 'Fruit of the Poisonous Tree?
American Thinker.com ^ | February 5, 2018 | Lynne K. Lechter

Over the past year the United States and, secondarily, the rest of the world, have been bombarded with the Democratic Party’s take on “Russia collusion.” Democrats have persistently declared that President Donald J. Tramp’s political ascendancy signals Armageddon. The insults started with the snarky “he’s not one of us,” to myriad accusations of anti-Semitism, racism, serial sexual harassment, xenophobia, vulgar speech, facilitation of white supremacists and violence, a crashed economy, and soured foreign relations. When none of these accusations stuck, they settled on an unrelenting, unsubstantiated drumbeat of claims that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to affect the outcome of the presidential election.

At last, the truth regarding these false accusations has been uncovered. The declassified House memo has revealed the perfidy of the Democrats’ ‘accusations against Trump, and the illegality of the Special Counsel and his investigation.

The Fourth Amendment to the United States’ Constitution provides that:

“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularity describing the place to be searched and the persons or things to be searched.”

From that principle, United States criminal law has evolved to provide a balancing act between the rights of the individual against unlawful privacy invasion, and the rights of the “State” to apprehend and prosecute lawbreakers. Myriad laws exist to protect the individual from illegal searches and seizure, while providing authorities a roadmap that ensures due process is effectuated.

Considering it came from Obama, I’d say it’s the poison of the fruit tree.

Mueller could argue inevitable discovery, and with a leftist judge, it may work...

The 4th Amendment applies to criminal investigations.

This dog-and-pony show is all about politics. The Congress critters wouldn’t think twice about using all the “poisoned” evidence to begin impeachment proceedings. Heck, most of them would be gleeful.

The Kenyanesian Usurpation was poisonous.

It’s still unclear if the USA recovers.

We need a new Congress.
Too many of them have already demonstrated that they side with illegal aliens against the citizens and the rule of law and we vote for them anyway.
That has to stop.

Concur, but at this point, no evidence has been presented so no "fruit" has yet to be displayed. I do, however, believe that Mueller's investigation is directed towards an alleged criminal act; still do not know what law was broken, though.

Mueller is the Alger Hiss of our day.

Of course, they are not entirely alike. As far as I know, Mueller is not a bird-watcher and never got excited about seeing a prothonotary warbler.

If Mueller had an “impeccable” reputation, would he not have already terminated his investigation, and resigned to stop wasting tax payers dollars? Or, alternatively, focused his investigation in the REAL collusion between the Hillary campaign, the Democrats and the Russians?

There appears to be ample evidence supporting such an investigation in terms of money exchanged, Uranium sold to Russians, and much more...
