DERSHOWITZ ON MUELLER’S INDICTMENTS: IT ‘PROVES THAT WE NEVER NEEDED A SPECIAL COUNSEL’
The Daily Caller ^ | 1:55 AM 07/14/2018 Mike Brest | Contributor | Mike Brest

Former Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz defended President Trump and went after the special counsel Robert Mueller after the Department Of Justice announced the indictments of 12 Russians in an interview on Fox News’ “The Story With Martha MacCallum” Friday night.

“Well, you know it proves — this indictment proves that we never needed a special counsel,” Dershowitz said, when asked about what the indictments mean for the special counsel.

“This indictment could have been brought by ordinary prosecutors, ordinary FBI agents. There’s no conflict here. It’s Russians they are going after. There is no president; There’s no people around the president,” he added.

Dershowitz continued, “There’s no conflict between the attorney general, the deputy attorney general and Americans — It’s all Russians. Why do we need to spend 20, 30, 40 million dollars, have special counsel appointed to do a routine national security investigation?”

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein announced twelve indictments for Russian citizens for hacking the Democratic National Committee, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and Hillary Clinton campaign officials.

But I thought that these indictments were actually secured by Mueller?

Yes, there is no need for a special counsel for this to indict the ham sandwiches or Russian intelligence operators in Muh Russia. Nothing but a political stunt to give breath to the idiotic meme Trump colluded, and cover for the Deep State, DNC, and Hellary.

So true. All this effort for some bogus indictments. It would be interesting to see Mule Ears try to convict any of the 12, but he will never get the chance.

Now is a good time for Mueller to wrap this up.

...and used as cover non-stop yesterday by Strzok. A bogus investigation providing perpetual air cover for the real investigation into sedition and treason.

If Mueller screws Trump it’ll be from flipping Trumps layer Cohen. As a New York businessman, I can almost guarantee palms were greased, and laws were broken in order to do business in that environment. This is what has me worried the most.

The Russians should send a lawyer to court seeing if he could force discovery from Moowler for poops and grins.

Get those clowns back to stuttering again in court LoL.

It would go something like this. Mueller - We can’t disclose our evidence because that would or could uuh uncover our intelligence ‘sources and methods’ to the Russians and to the world your Honour.

This is a counterintelligence operation.

WHAT THE HELL GOOD DO INDICTMENTS DO?????

You counter and give them a good swift kick in the balls to make them think twice next time.

I’m not sure how, but this is going to backfire on Mueller somehow. Maybe one or two of the named individuals will be outed as US assets after they flee to some EU country. Something like that.

To add on, it doesn’t take very much of an excuse, no matter how idiotic, from the deep state to give the liberal media cover to run away from issues they don’t like that counters their memes like Strzok’s congressional testimony that was a disaster from their point of view.

This relic of the obama mindset is proving America needed change by wasting exorbitant amounts of time, money, effort, and attention, simply so he can take an enormous ego trop at taxpayer expense.

That sort of thing went the way of the dinosaur when Trump entered the picture to drain the swamp.

Well, that was said after the first “indictments” but it soon bit him on the a$$ when one of the Russians said let’s go to trial...........

What more and more evidence points to more clearly every day:

Mueller only exists to provide whatever cover the Dems want any time they want. They are a propaganda outfit.

They are not investigating. For example, they didn’t analyze any legit DNC server. They took Crowdstrike’s analysis, so, just like the FISA warrant, it’s all a fraud.

The timing of his "indictment" is really a shot across the bow by these deep state swamp rat bureaucrats that think they are unaccountable to anyone. This was swamp rat Rosenstein upping the ante and defending his boy Strzok who embarrassed himself in front of the nation and looked like a psycho.

The coup continues; where's Sessions?; swamp rats are wining...

Rhetorical question...Why has there NOT been a DOJ raid of that place to gain access to all they know? Crowdstrike.

This is a prime example of how the liberals’ tendency to attack other liberals who deviate even slightly from their party line end up becoming Trump supporters.
