The ‘Russian Collusion’ Trial Is On, And Mueller May Be The First Casualty

Mueller generated headlines with the February indictment, safe in the knowledge the 13 Russians were beyond U.S. jurisdiction. Therefore, there would be no trial — only sensational Russian collusion accusations.

Mueller may now have to try the case, and Concord’s lawyers have put the special counsel on notice. The Russian company’s lawyers intend to invoke “discovery” to obtain U.S. intelligence about what they knew of Russian activities. “I guess Mueller thought it was a freebie, for sure,” former federal prosecutor Andrew C. McCarthy told The Daily Caller News Foundation after the court proceeding.

“He thought it could make this association (of Russian collusion) and it would never be challenged in court,” McCarthy, a National Review contributing editor, said after the proceeding.

“He thought it could make this association (of Russian collusion) and it would never be challenged in court,” McCarthy, a National Review contributing editor, said after the proceeding. Concord retained the services of two attorneys at mega law firm Reed Smith, and the company is demanding a speedy trial. The lawyers indicated they were going to exercise Concord’s rights under discovery to examine all of Mueller’s “evidence” of the conspiracy.

In starting Wednesday’s trial, Eric A. Dubelier, a Reed Smith law partner, entered a “not guilty” plea in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. He also repeated his client’s interest for a “speedy trial.”

McCarthy called Mueller’s entire indictment an “unforced error.”

“One thing you never want to do is to indict in a case that you’re not prepared to try,” McCarthy said.

Hillary Clinton & Robert Mueller Linked in Russian Uranium Exchange

American Liberty PAC ^ | Jun 20, 2017 | Kirk

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton facilitated a uranium exchange with Russian law enforcement by former FBI Director (and current chief Deep State inquisitor) Robert Mueller.

The exchange was exposed via a recent Wikileaks publication of a secret cable between Hillary’s State Department and the Russian embassy.

Hillary sent Mueller to Moscow with orders to turn over a 10 gram sample of highly enriched uranium (HEU) which was obtained during a shadowy 2006 nuclear “sting” operation conducted in the Georgian Republic.

The ostensible reason for the transfer was to engender further trust between Russian and American law enforcement in the area of nuclear materials and to learn more about how to trace nuclear materials.

But when it comes to Hillary and Russian uranium interests, the shady Uranium One deal cannot pass unnoted.

There still has been no real investigation into how Hillary gave permission for a Russian company to acquire a quarter of the North American uranium reserves after Russian interests poured hundreds of millions into the Clinton Foundation and gave Bill Clinton six figure speaking fees.

At the very least, this exchange raises serious questions about the ability of Robert Mueller to do his job as special prosecutor on the Russian collusion charges since he already has connections to major figures in Russian law enforcement.

Special Counsel Mueller Literally Handed Uranium to the Russians!

IWB ^ | Mark Angelides

We all know that the Russian Collusion investigation is nothing but a game to try and distract the population from actually caring about the day to day running of the country, but the charade has gone too far and some serious questions need to be asked; most especially of Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

WikiLeaks has put out a document that details then FBI Director Mueller’s itinerary on his visit to Russia to deliver 10 grams of Enriched Uranium.

One more time for those who missed it…Mueller hand delivered Highly Enriched Uranium to the Russian government!

If you look at my posting history, you may note that I have repeatedly stated that Trump holds all the cards. In fact, he has always held all the cards.

I mean, let's consider what we have here: the most powerful office on earth held by a street fighter from Queens.

So, yeah, admittedly Trump got surprised when the deep state pulled their classic bait & switch that launched the SC. But only a slow witted dunce would fail to react and formulate an effective counter strategy once brought up to speed on DC legal games.

We might even admire the swamp's tenacious resistance; perhaps like the last Nazis holed up in their bunker(s). There only possible way out for them was to continue full offense, hoping for a political miracle. A defensive posture is a loser from the git-go - once they are fully boxed in, the dominoes will rapidly fall into place.

My only real concern is whether Trump has the historical awareness & prescience to fully prosecute the treason by all conspirators. He needs to go all in, making sure people literally hang for their crimes. If he doesn't, then all his successes will be buried under future swamp administrations which will censor & re-write this historical period as one of chaos and (economic) depression.

I believe you are totally correct.

Thank you for your thoughtful post.

"The 13 Russians in question were charged with waging “information warfare” in the United States, interfering with the 2016 presidential election, and conspiracy to defraud the United States."

Shouldn't Mueller be charged with that?

Chelsea Clinton and Viktor Pinchuk who donated $29 million to Clinton Foundation in Kiev, Ukraine

OPINION--- Ukraine Tried to Tip the Election in Clinton’s Favor;
Evidence reveals that Ukraine intervened to tilt the election in favor of its national interests
By Michael Sainato • 01/12/17

Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton speaks on Capitol Hill on December 8, 2016. in Washington, D.C. Mark Wilson/Getty Images

Yesterday, Politico reported that the Ukrainian Government worked to aid Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential elections. The actions taken by government officials included disseminating “documents implicating a top Trump aide in corruption and suggested they were investigating the matter, only to back away after the election. And they helped Clinton’s allies research damaging information on Trump and his advisers.”

Those documents implicated Trump’s former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, who worked as an adviser for now-ousted Ukrainian President Viktor F. Yanukovych. However, the concerns that the documents raised weren’t in fact over any quasi-Russian ties, though partisan reporting pushed his narrative. Rather, the documents raised the question of whether Manafort declared the income that he had received from the position. The Podesta Group, a lobbying firm co-founded by Clinton Campaign Chair John Podesta, also conducted work for Yanukovych.

However, the Manafort narrative not only painted Trump as pro-Russian, but also provided the Clinton campaign with a smear campaign while reaffirming its stance against Russia. It was in Ukraine’s best interest to tilt the election in support of Clinton, who strongly advocated for providing Ukraine with military aid and financial support in order to fight Russian separatists in the country.

Politico noted that Alexandra Chalupa, a Ukrainian-American working as a consultant for the Democratic National Committee (DNC), met with top Ukrainian Officials in Washington D.C. about forcing Manafort’s resignation in order to perpetuate the narrative that Trump is connected to Russia. Both Chalupa and her sister Andrea have strongly pushed the anti-Russian narrative on social media, in addition to advocating that the electors of the electoral college defect from Trump. The report added, “Politico’s investigation found evidence of Ukrainian government involvement in the race that appears to strain diplomatic protocol dictating that governments refrain from engaging in one another’s elections.”

In addition to the Chalupas, the co-founder and CTO of Crowdstrike, the cyber security firm that the DNC hired to investigate the alleged hacks, Dmitri Alperovitch, also serves as a senior fellow to the Washington-based think tank Atlantic Council, which is an openly anti-Russian organization partly . The Atlantic Council is funded by Ukrainian oligarch Victor Pinchuk, who also happens to be one of the most prolific donors to the Clinton Foundation. The DNC denied multiple requests from the FBI to access their servers, effectively forcing the FBI to rely on CrowdStrike’s assessment of the hacks.

The Atlantic Council has propagated anti-Russian sentiment and advocated for bolstering NATO forces in anticipation of a military conflict between with Russia long before Wikileaks released emails from the DNC and Clinton Campaign Manager John Podesta. In 2013, the Atlantic Council awarded Hillary Clinton its Distinguished International Leadership Award. In 2014, the Atlantic Council hosted one of several events with former Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk, who took over after pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych was removed in early 2014. In August, Politico reported that Donald Trump’s favorable rhetoric to Russia was concerning Ukraine. The article stated, “Russia wants Trump for U.S. president; Ukraine is terrified by Trump and prefers Hillary Clinton.”

In response to their preferred candidate losing the election, Ukrainian officials are now scrambling to revert from their lobbying for Hillary Clinton and the DNC. Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko recently signed a $50,000-a-month contract with a lobbying firm to set up meetings with U.S. officials in the new administration. Ukrainian billionaire Victor Pinchuk wrote an op-ed on December 29 in the Wall Street Journal in which he argued that Ukraine needs make compromises to establish peace with Russia. After the election, reports surfaced that Pinchuk donated to Trump’s charity to try to gain the same favor and access that his donations to the Clinton Foundation afforded him. “The sole reason the Victor Pinchuk Foundation has reached out to President-elect Trump—as well as other world leaders—has been to promote strengthened and enduring ties between Ukraine and the West,” a spokeswoman for the Pinchuk foundation told ABC News.

While past elections in Ukraine have been viewed as proxy battles between the U.S. and Russia, it appears that the 2016 presidential election in the U.S. faced similar influence from two foreign countries attempting to influence an election outcome preferable to their own national interests.

-- So, yeah, admittedly Trump got surprised when the deep state pulled their classic bait & switch that launched the SC. --

I doubt he was surprised by the appointment. He might be surprised by how long and how deep and how dishonest the process has become - but I doubt that too.

There would have been no way "Trump is cleared" would be accepted if it came from Sessions' DOJ, or from Rosenstein personally. Rosenstein is a co-conspirator in the (cough cough) obstruction flowing from firing Comey.

-- My only real concern is whether Trump has the historical awareness & prescience to fully prosecute the treason by all conspirators. He needs to go all in, making sure people literally hang for their crimes. --

The eventual punishment will be a political calculation. I totally agree with your thought about swamp resurgence. The only way to hold the swamp at bay is to awaken the public.

“I guess Mueller thought it was a freebie, for sure,” former federal prosecutor Andrew C. McCarthy told The Daily Caller News Foundation after the court proceeding.

Mueller has a history of choosing poorly. He chose to be an enabler of the gangster Whitey Bulger as an FBI "informant" when the reality was Bulger had compromised agents in the Boston FBI office. Compromised agents who then helped Bulger murder his competition. To help Bulger, Mueller than made sure 4 men remained on death row, convicted of a murder committed by Buulger's associates. The FBI knew these 4 men were innocent. Mueller knew.

Mueller is a toxic mix of too much power, arrogance, and stupidity. A dangerous combination.

“The Special Counsel is not entitled to special rules and is required like the Attorney General to follow the rules of the Court,”

I'm sure this concept comes as a shock to Mueller.

[palmer]

He needs to go all in, making sure people literally hang for their crimes. If he doesn't, then all his successes will be buried under future swamp administrations which will censor & re-write this historical period

He's going to hang all the historians (e.g. leftist professors)? I don't think so. There's a common meme that Hillary, Comey, Brennan, etc are running the deep state and need to be taken down. The first problem is that the deep state is amorphous and doesn't need to be run by anyone. The second problem is this is war and like any war the peace is kept through strength and deterrence. We need to prosecute perjurers like Clapper, leakers like Brennan and Comey, mishandlers like HIllary for the crimes that they actually did commit.

We also need deterrence. That is harder and certainly some harsh punishment will help deter future deep state criminals. But part of the deterrence is to make the American public fullly aware of the leftist poltical nature of the deep state and get their representatives to root it out. Otherwise it will remain.

[Flavious_Maximus]

“...making sure people literally hang for their crimes”

Many democrats (and even some Republicans) should have been executed a long time ago. They know it as well.

This is why you see Brennan, Clapper, Kerry, Holder, Rice, Powers all tweeting smack on Twitter.

They know that they are only months away from being snuffed out if their evil crimes are exposed.

I left out Hillary Clinton and Barry Soetoro who should be at the top of the list of co-conspirators. When the time comes, they will flee the USA and go into hiding in the Middle East.

There wont be deterrencdc until the big names actually are charged and tried

If you had to ask today if Hillary Clinton, Obama Brennan and clapper are above the law, the answer would be “ yes”

[COBOL2Java]

Arrogant Pr!cks like Mueller often “step on their own extremities” because of it.

His entire career has shown that in reality Mueller is not a very bright attorney. This case was to have been his crowning achievement, and he has bitten off more than he can chew. May he go down in flames of dishonor.

Deterrence
