"...and I really am not going to talk about an open and ongoing investigation otherwise," he added.

Wrong answer Whitaker. Answer the question why you felt a show of intimidating force was needed to arrest Stone.

And why did CNN know about the raid ahead of time?

Really? Well it sure would be nice to see that second “scope” memo that the DOJ refuses to release. So the investigation is almost finished, and not one of the actual criminals has been questioned, or indicted.

This may just be whittaker having to do something in response to the travesty of the massive assault on Roger Stone. So he makes a wobbly nothingburger statement.

You may be right.

It will be settled in trial by combat. The hereditary President and the hereditary Special Counsel will joust to establish the final result. If that is not decisive, broadswords, the weapon of choice for gentlemen who’ve fought in the Crusades.

I thought Acting Attorney General Whitaker was in charge of the Mueller Investigation?

Another brilliant appointment by Trump.

Perhaps “Acting” is the operative word?

Oh, well - when establishment RINO William Barr is confirmed as the new Attorney General, things will change for the better.

Winning!

the Constitution defines ‘treason’ as being ‘in time of war’

Not exactly.

Art III, Sect 3:
"Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court."

My prediction is this will wrap up and merely make way for whatever the house dems want to go after Trump with.

So, Whittaker approves of SWATing Stone?

"This from a person who believes sessions was Trumps best choice and the greatest AG ever. It's really hard to know if you are just kidding or not anymore."

All ya’ll FReepers are going to eat crow.

Jo, you gotta admit, EEE is a True Believer.

My definition of a True Believer is this: During the Clinton-Monica Lewinski Scandal, a woman got on the Imus in the Morning radio show. The conversation went thus:

WOMAN: "I don't believe Clinton had sex of any kind, including oral sex, with Lewinski."

IMUS: (Stunned) "Ma'am, President Clinton is going on TV in five minutes and admitting he did!"

WOMAN: "I don't care what he says! If he said he did it, he's lying!"
THAT is a TRUE BELIEVER.

EEE is a TRUE BELIEVER.

Has Sessions been stockpiling Crow for the Last Supper?

Maybe EEE is a true believer because he has Beiber Fever. Maybe he is such a Believer he can do 12 shots of covfefe and not even blink an eye.

Whittaker: I’ll only approve your request for such a heavy-handed raid if you tell me your investigation is nearing completion.

Mueller: Consider it done. Sign here.

Believe what you want, but this is the first time any high-level official has said anything like this. It’e a big deal.

Judge Napolitano, just said he thought this investigation would go through the next election. He has often been wrong and I think he will be wrong again.

Re: “Unsupervised by their recused US Attorney”

The U.S. Attorney for Southern District NY recused himself?

My, God! I had no idea.

Why didn't Trump fire him instantly?

Instead, we will now have Jeff Sessions, Part Two, for the next six years in New York City.

Someone please explain to me why Trump just passively allows this political and legal destruction to happen on his watch?

Funny thing is...

...Sessions is just as active and effective now as he was when he was AG.

I suspect the Barr appointment might have something to do with it. The ludicrous apprehension of Stone using a massive SWAT team may have been the last straw. Let’s hope this signals Trump going on the offensive.

Id. I trust him to back stab and betray President Trump at every opportunity. I trust him to recuse himself every hour.

When does the investigation into Mueller, Clinton, and the other scoundrels ensue?

For one, the development and utilization of the documents used to get FISA Warrants was fraudulent, and everyone knew it.

Why hasn’t Mueller been charged with fraud?
