When the judge noted that Archie Cox was his constitutional law professor, it was a way of slapping down Dreeben and warning him that he better not act condescending toward the judge in this court.
This jurisdictional issue involving the Special Counsel may be more serious for the Special Counsel than Rosenstein, Mueller and Dreeben are treating it.
The very first issue in any case in federal court is, does the court have jurisdiction to deal with this matter?
Here, the DOJ has taken a private citizen (not an existing US Attorney, not confirmed by the Senate) Bob Mueller, and unilaterally granted him the power to prosecute people in federal court and send them to prison.
That power depends wholly on the jurisdiction granted Mueller, and if he exceeds it, his legal power vanishes.
Well, if we go by the recent re-redaction of documents turned over by DOJ, the redactions in Rosenstein’s memos of what the Hell Mueller can and can’t do, and where he gets the authority to do it (FISA court, anyone?) have much more to do with covering DOJ’s crooked ass than they do with any kind of national security interests.
President Trump should declassify and publish all of it. When the Uniparty, Deep State leeches howl at the sunlight and claim it’s too far fetched to be believed, he should declassify and publish the rest of the JFK documents.
He either tears the whole rotten system down or ultimately he loses. The idea that the electorate can make the corrections while they are being bribed with gubmint handouts and pumped full of gubmint/globalist propaganda masquerading as news and entertainment has been debunked over the last few decades.
Ultimately President Trump must either throw most of Washington DC in jail and hang a good portion of the leadership, or he must make them so afraid of the voters that they self deport, and only the later is a long term solution.
Is America still capable of getting that pissed off?
