It is increasingly clear that President Donald Trump and the Republicans are engaging in a campaign to smear and discredit special prosecutor Robert Mueller. All of this is an effort to undermine an investigation into whether serious federal crimes occurred that potentially implicate individuals at the highest levels of the government, including Trump and members of his family.
The need for an independent criminal investigation is clear. Was there illegal collusion between Trump campaign officials and Russians? Has there been a cover-up that constitutes obstruction of justice? If so, who is responsible?
Contrary to the president’s assertion, this is not a partisan “witch hunt.” Already two individuals have plead guilty to federal crimes. George Papadopoulos plead guilty to lying to the FBI about his efforts, while a Trump campaign official, to set up meetings with Kremlin-connected sources who claimed to have damaging information about Hillary Clinton. Former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn plead guilty to “willfully and knowingly” making “false, fictitious and fraudulent statements” to the FBI about communications exchanged with a Russian envoy shortly after Trump took office.
Paul Manafort, Trump’s campaign manager for a time, and Rick Gates, his aide, have been indicted for the crime of “conspiracy against the United States.” They have been charged with operating as agents of foreign governments without registering as required by the law and laundering over $75 million in offshore accounts.

Gee, another Constitutional Law tenured “expert” still begging for his ego-driven appointment to a high court
Let’s get a “special counsel” to examine Fast Eddie and turn up every rock in his life, past and present
And audit every one of his tax returns
Think something criminal might be found?
The independent counsel law needs to be modified so that the scope of investigations must be narrowly defined - no fishing expeditions, no blank checks.
Hmm, I wonder if Erwin Chemerinsky is one of those Soviet moles that was sent here in the 1950s and 60s to take key positions in our news, entertainment, and education sectors to spread communist propaganda and brainwash people with the goal of undermining our system?
By this "logic" if I'm tried for a crime, plead not guilty, hire a lawyer and mount a defense, I'm bringing down the justice system. The only legitimate response Trump can muster is to resign from office and tearfully beg Hillary to accept the office and save the republic.
The idiot author of this article doesn't seem to even have the imagination to allow for the possibility that it was the dems who "colluded" with the Russians.
Oh, one more thing. This is off topic but few people on our side seem able to recognize the fact that Carter Page was working for Hillary. He agreed to be spied on precisely so he could by virtue of his mere presence bring the FBI into the Trump campaign. The surveillance he was subjected to automatically included everyone he spoke with or came near.
He was a legal suicide bomber.
Good Grief!
I knew I recognized the name. Had to give up on Hewitt years ago, but I sure do remember that whiney azz voice of Chemerinsky.
I would put “civil rights ‘advocate’” in quotes
I’m sure Eddie would have no problem defending discrimination against Caucasians and Asians . . as long as they’re not Jewish or the brats of left wing elites
“Civil rights” to these bastards is a huge misnomer . . .
A more Russian, communist sounding name than Erwin chemerinsky would be difficult to come up with.Oh I don't know. What kind of name is Peter Strozk?
Not to mention LBJs “hypocrite preacher man” who wasn’t really a “Dr” (plagiarist) and who cheated on his wife, partied it up at orgies (did Kingie engage in political pillow talk with his whores), and according to his good pal and colleague, physically abused women
All the way while putting on this phony notion of “peaceful man” “moral man” “work and live together” and “content of character”
What say you Edwin? Justified to look under ever MLK rock?
What a cabal.
People on the Left, just flat out do not care about integrity, honesty, the truth, etc, as long as whoever is, doing whatever, to whoever and it benefits them in some way, all is right with the world.
Try this. Close Muellers charter. Enact a new special council law and go after the real corruption of the Justice Departmednt and the FBI.
Try it.

The only thing that is clear from this article is the author’s blind hatred of the President of the United States. That way lies madness.
