This is such a miscarriage of justice.

So Mueller and his "13 Angry Democrats" gets to investigate and search everything that has ever happened in the man's life just to squeeze him for something on Trump?

This is so oppressive and unfair. It is a true miscarriage of justice. Mueller is such a punk. He cannot get what he wants using fair and intellectual tactics so he behaves like an abusive and oppressive thug.

The fact that democrats are cheering on this type of behavior should be a wake upcall to everyone that this is what the democrat party is all about. This is how they have been operating, and if they succeed now they will be many times worse.

Yep. What’s criminal is the behavior of Mueller and the “13 Angry Democrats.”

Trump will go down as one of our greatest Presidents and Mueller will go down as a vile Inspector Javert...

As with all cops, whatever it takes to get a "confession" to a specific offence in view: true or false.

Pfeiffer testified that the FBI initially learned about the storage locker from reporters for the Associated Press who met with FBI and Justice Department officials<.b< in April 2017 to discuss their reporting on Manafort's business activities.

Lauren Easton, director of media relations at the Associated Press, confirmed that the agency's journalists met with Justice Department officials "in an effort to get information on stories they were reporting, as reporters do." She said they asked the officials about a locker but never identified its location.

---

What they did not say was that the FBI were using AP reporters as undercover agents "looking" for a crime to prosecute.

Apparently you haven’t paid attention to Mueller’s and Weissenssein’s records. Look at Whitey Bulger. Look at Enron

Obviously an assistant that’s untrustworthy. Rat will need to get a job from a democrat machine related employer, but will be kept isolated from anything important.

They opened his storage locker without an warrant. Said the guy leasing the storage facility had the right to open for them. I find this so backwards and lawless. Did he open the lockers of others for the FBI or were they targeting Manafort? If so, it defies the logic of the law.

The FBI then claims they got a warrant before they opened the boxes.

Bizarre. Seems they could have easily applied for a search warrant before opening the locker. Seems that they just make up their rules as they go along. Very corrupt.

Fair and intellectual are nice but hardball is what gets convictions.

Mueller's doing what prosecutors do.

Prosecution 101.

I read about Mueller’s abusive and oppressive tactics. That’s one reason I posted.

Mueller is a dirtbag. Prosecuting Manafort for things that are over ten years old and have nothing to do with Russian Collusion are a miscarriage of justice. It would be like the IRS auditing you for something over 20 years ago.

More like Politics 101 than Prosecution 101 to the “13 Angry Democrats.”

I'm not arguing that point.

All I'm saying is the prisons are full of people who think their prosecutor was a dirtbag.
