Sen. Rand Paul: Mueller has abused his authority ["it is a witchhunt"]
Fox News ^ | April 10, 2018 | n/a

Posted on 04/10/2018 8:01:44 AM PDT by Ken H

Excerpt => PAUL: "He is looking at some kind of personal dealings with the President’s lawyer. And imagine, once they get this, they have all of the information that the President has ever discussed with the attorney and they say, 'Oh, we’re not going to use the stuff that’s attorney/client privilege.' But they’ll read it. And you think once they read it it might give them ideas of other places the look. There's this concept called parallel construction. They don’t actually use the information they read but they now have that information and can use it to go snooping in other areas. Really, this is a wide open — the President is right, it is a witch hunt but it's a wide open thing and a mistake to ever have these special prosecutors.

See my post #18.

cRuz and Cornyball are worthless traitors, for not speaking out in support of POTUS, on this.

I don’t think “witch hunt” is the right analogy. Its more an example of the dangers of selective enforcement of the law. I am sure that if you look through Donald Trump’s history, you will find something that he or someone in his organization did that was wrong. And probably something that you could charge him for criminally if you stretched it. Nothing important but something. That is what Mueller’s probe is about. Going on and on and on until he finds something. It didn’t happen to Hillary Clinton. It doesn’t happen to other Democrats. Its the use of the law against those who the Deep State doesn’t like. This is one time when comparing what is happening to Trump to what happened to Hillary truly matters.

I still think Trump should NOT fire Mueller.

Firing Mueller would be showing kindness and mercy to him. It would allow Mueller (and democrats everywhere) the opportunity to save face.

Screw that.

Leave these bastids hanging on the vine. Until the evil fruit of their efforts rot. Leave them alone.

It’s been clear for some time now that Mueller will not find that smoking gun. And he’s apparently too proud or too stupid to call it quits. So the longer he play-acts at this silly charade, the more harm and damage he does to himself and his liberal overlords.

He has become our Useful Idiot. Let him run with that.

After this latest raid, Trump should do two things:

1. Tweet out that since Mueller has made this personal, he will no longer talk to him or his witch hunt. If they compel him to talk, he should assert his 5th Amend rights.

2. Should simply ignore Meuller and his witch-hunt. As in, not even tweet about it (except for above). Any and all questions from the media on this, he should repeat that since Mueller made this personal, he knows there is no equal justice so he has no further comment. Just don't give them anything.

Trump is in the driver's seat now. The problem is, he's not the type of person who will be able to clam up. In this scenario, he should...otherwise, they will nail him with a process crime.

Exactly right. And if they are not, that tells us something about how much they value the benefits they enjoy through the deep state.

Rand, Present a bill to STOP this Special Counsel right now and force McConnell to put it on the floor.

Bullcrap. Trump is a big boy, and it is HIS job to fire these bastards NOW. It will not make one iota of difference if Cruz or anyone else speaks out. TRUMP must do the right thing and end this all NOW!

That’s a very Trumpian strategy.

Selective enforcement of the law is absolutely correct.

If an army of lawyers and accountants had unlimited resources and time, they could find something on just about every citizen out there simply because there are thousands of laws and regulations, most of which people just aren't aware of.

You are probably breaking the law right now!

Cruz never saw an attack on President Trump that he didn’t want to join in on. He will always put himself first. Ironically, he’s not smart enough to realize that publicly backing Trump would be the best thing he could do for his own career.

I don’t always agree with Trump. And the idea he plays 3-D chess is - well stupid.

But there must be a reason why - after over a year - he has not fired Mueller. Or Sessions either, for that matter.

I just hope his strategy with Mueller works.

Rand Paul is one of the few who are trustworthy. I have just wondered this a.m. how many people are just sickened over what is happening and the potential Constitutional Crisis which is looming over what appears to be war-like aggression against our President. Who can find the honest officials in our government and judicial system? Seems like most of them are in hiding. Makes me wonder whether Americans really know what is afoot here. I really do not know how any human being can hold up under the viciousness of what Donald Trump has experienced at the hands of his enemies. My heart goes out to him and his family and, so, I look to my faith to offer a prayer in his regard from Psalms 54:1-4 “Save me, O God, by your name; vindicate me by your might. Hear my prayer O God; listen to the words of my mouth. Strangers are attacking me; ruthless men seek my life..men without regard for God. Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me.” God bless you and your family, Mr. President. One day your enemies will be judged for what they have done to you and, also, to this nation.

I contacted my Congressman and Senators and demanded they condemn the raid.

"Instead of having 50 (at least all Repukes) or 60 Senators condemning this, there is one. All the proof we need to know who is standing with Trump and the people"

Your post says it all.

When Bill Clinton was (justifiably, unlike DJT) under siege, every Democrat in America, down to local dog-catcher, jumped to his defense.

First? I bet there is not yet a second. Even if there is they should be all on TV today defending Trump, the people and the construction. Where is Save Democracy Flake?

Like Jeb, Cruz just can't forgive Trump for beating him in the 2016 GOP primaries.

Like Jeb, Cruz would rather win an election than do or say something that is honest and right.

Watch the video. Paul isn’t supporting POTUS outside of his pet FISA issue. He’s still all in on the IG farce. Against POTUS on Tariffs, etc. He doesn’t really sound much different than McConnell.

Don’t be duped by the Paulistinians supporting their favorite pet “conservative” in Congress. The “conservatives” in Congress are not bystanders to the treasonous assaults on POTUS. There silence and lack of action makes them complicit in them.
