“Andrew Weissmann (who is known for this tactic)”
Yup. Weissmann is a bigoted Leftist with an axe to grind - as far as he’s concerned all WASPs are Nazi’s and it’s his god given role to terrorize them into extinction.
When did we vote for a country like this?
Can you say “Perp Walk” equivalent? Deep State attack on President Trump’s penumbra? Intimidation on any and all possible associates who can be trapped into that prosecutorial ‘ham sandwich’ aka ‘process crime’. Are you now or have you ever been within sight or sound distance of Donald J Trump?
I. Lewis ‘Scooter’ Libby knows that feeling quite well.
Don’t tempt us.
Do not hold your breath waiting for jury nullification in this matter - he was arrested at home in South Florida and arraigned in Fort Lauderdale, but the case will be heard in Washington, with a D.C. jury.
but blacks doing jury nullification for whites?....don't think they'll ever do it, and infact will tell themselves that this guy may not really be guilty, but he's white and those whites deserve it....
don't get me started on the constipated, OCD white jurors who would use any seemingly tiny little point to release a criminal or convict a criminal because they are so hung up on being "fair" they loose all common sense...
Are defense attorneys allowed to explicitly ask the jury to nullify the verdict?
I’d like the government to explain why this only happens to Repubs, never Dems.....
It only took 25 men to raid Osama bin Ladin's armed compound "hidden" in Pakistan.
Congress MUST subpoena MUELLER AND CHRISTOPHER WRAY to testify regarding their excessive use of force for the Stone apprehension, ESPECIALLY DURING A SHUT DOWN WHEN RESOURCES SHOULD BE USED MOST EFFICIENTLY.
Now we know why the Deep State FREAKED OUT when Trump took office and dared to even speak to Comey. IT'S CLEAR NOW THE FBICNNDOJ IS TOTALLY OFF-LIMITS TO TRUMP BECAUSE APPARENTLY THEY ARE A GOVERNMENT UNTO THEMSELVES.
What's everyone afraid of? What was Sessions afraid of? Are Extraterrestrials running the FBICNNDOJ?
Americans only get outraged when their favorite football team loses.
Thanks for posting. I think we’ve reached a tipping point and conservatives are waking up to the fact that Federal law enforcement is unaccountable. Does the president exert any control? Absolutely not. Do they respect the Constution and the 4th amendment or due process? No, that’s a joke. Therefore, any evidence that they present should be disregarded. Even if that means that some very nasty people escape prison.
We’re talking about an America Gestapo, the Deep State Praetorian guard. They have to start losing cases. They need to be shunned by the public. They need to be disrespected.
It takes one juror to stand up. Let’s try this before CW2.
Soap box.
Ballot box.
Jury box.
Ammo box.
In a sane world mueller would be summarily fired for this gross incompetence.
In a sane world....
This is all very confusing to me.
It would seem that if Trump wants to do something about all this Special Counsel stuff he could.
The question i am wondering these days is, “What is he planning?” I figure he knows how to play the long game. So why is he okay with allowing this to continue?
Its not like he doesn’t know how to go on the offense.
All very puzzling.
We live in a dictatorial police state with zero real liberties Under the mueller regime (the true ultimate power in “our” current government since no other power on earth will do the obvious and
fire / prosecute him—- or even check his outrageous conduct)
“Actually, there is: jury nullification. It is the public’s final sanction against abusive, arbitrary, and tyrannical government power.”
A good one but not the “final” one.
The final one is a hot war.
It bears repeating: Rebellion against tyranny is obedience to God.
The tree of liberty is parched.
Wray and Rosenstein had to condone this latest raid on Stone. It’s obvious to me that the FBI has some dirty info on the Trump family.
POTUS Trump can also do something...
1. Haul Chris Wray’s a$$ into the Oval Monday morning and demand an explanation for these tactics.
If Wray defends them and had knowledge of the raid, FIRE him for the excessive use of force against a US citizen. If Wray had no knowledge of the tactics, FIRE him for incompetency!
2. Withdraw Barr’s nomination for AG...keep Whitaker on indefinitely. This will put stains in the shorts of all DIM swamp creatures.
3. Demand immediate investigations into every lying ba$+ard in DC (start with Comey, Brennan, Clapper, Holder, and Lynch). That’s a prelude to bigger fish!
4. Demand an immediate investigation into Uranium 1 and into the generation of the Trump Dirty Dossier. Let’s go after the real Russian collusion.
4. Announce a national state of emergency. Instruct the DOD and military to begin the installation of the WALL and all necessary electronics needed to secure the Southern border. Except for essential services (military, law enforcement, FAA/TSA, etc.), all other government operations will be closed until the border work is completed.
5. Declassify and release all documents demanded by the last Congress regarding the Trump coup and other scandals perpetrated by both DIMS and Pubbies in Congress. Unseal indictments in all federal pedophile cases planned in the US.
He needs to start cleaning out the $h!= stalls...let the Sunshine in baby!
Pardon me, just awake from my day dream...hear someone pounding on my front door!
Does the author suggest a “beat down” place?
Two problems with jury nulfication:
(1) It can be used against the good guys as well as for them. There are plenty of jurors who will ignore the law and convict any white Republican.
(2) Jurors would have to lie during jury selection when the judge asks them if they will apply the law as the court presents it to them.
The best remedy is to change the rules for trial venue to keep Republicans from automatically being tried in DC kangaroo cours.
