Mueller’s abuses on view for the world to see
The Hill ^ | February 2,2019 | MARK PENN

Posted on 02/03/2019 8:52:58 AM PST by Hojczyk

Something struck a raw nerve in this country when 26 agents showed up with automatic weapons drawn in a pre-dawn raid to arrest Roger Stone, terrorizing his deaf wife. Suddenly, all the mumbo jumbo about special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation being objective and focused on national security melted away in the face of a police-state action so completely inexplicable.

There could be no real excuse for such a potentially dangerous, life-threatening action except to use police power for the purpose of intimidation, under the color and cover of law.

Imagine the outcry if 17 vehicles and an amphibious unit had shown up to take one of Hillary Clinton’s aides into custody for lying about whether she had a mail server. Or to pick up disgraced former congressman Anthony Weiner’s laptop. The outrage would have thundered across the country, echoed by the mainstream media. Civil libertarians would have jumped on the bandwagon. Congress would be calling for more supervision and restraints on the power of Mueller and his office.

Now, Judge Amy Berman Jackson, an Obama appointee who put former Trump presidential campaign chairman Paul Manafort in jail without bail and gagged him, is considering putting a gag order on Stone, a former Trump campaign operative. She said this is a criminal trial, “not a public relations campaign.” So what was CNN doing at Stone’s arrest and how did they get there? The arrest and indictment of Stone are evidence of a very public relations-conscious prosecutor. What were the indictment of Russians beyond the reach of prosecution about, if not PR?

But he’s been surprisingly objective on this one, and has been since the day it happened.

Unlike most Democrats.

1. Stone’s neighbor gave affidavit stating the CNN truck was there 30 minutes before the raid.
2. The CNN producer at the scene worked for Comey when he was FBI chief.
3. Video shows that at least 2 FBI agents went past CNN reporter without stopping to question him indicating that they knew the purpose of CNN. Any explaination that this was an oversight is ridiculous.
4. The neighborhood was otherwise cleared of onlookers during the raid.
5. The excessive use of force was in fact deemed unnecessary as the judge released Stone on a signature bond only several hours later.

These are despotic police state tactics of the first order. This is indirect evidence that a coup d’état is ongoing. The FBI cannot be trusted. There are too many Deep State traitors and the rank and file will “just follow orders” a la Nuremberg.

What about Sessions and 50 Republican Senators that enabled him?

They were the guarantee that Trump would not, could not fire Mueller.

Don’t they belong in prison too?

Along with the top 50 at the FBI and DOJ and CIA and NSA.

Mueller’s tactics were calculated to intimidate Stone or to poison public opinion against him (and other targets of Mueller’s investigation). Both aims are illegitimate. Just because they didn’t “rough up” Stone physically doesn’t mean there wasn’t excessive use of force.

The pseudo SEAL team was part of the PR effort.

Mueller has become the new Robespierre.

He is leading a new American Rein of Terror for the Democrats, who are trying desperately to stop anyone who comes close to uncovering the many illegalities and abuses of the Obama administration.

Mueller was a part of weaponizing the previously trusted institutions of the United States against its own people to further the liberal agenda.

Now his team is acting like a reborn Committee of General Security, and the Justice Department has become the Committee of Public Safety.

A new Jacobin Club is forming within the self-anointed Elites in Washington DC. Core membership includes Brennan, Clapper, Mueller, Comey, Obama, Jarrett, Lynch, Holder, McCabe, Strzok. The lesser names are useful agents of the Club.

History is about to repeat itself.

Speaking of CNN and what the heck they were doing there, they also put (R) next to the name of the Virginia governor who tried to promote infanticide, instead of (D).

Mueller really needs to be taken to a military tribunal tried and executed. He is right now involved in a coup by charging Trump associates with bogus and immaterial process crimes in an overt attempt to provide “evidence” for impeachment and to intimidate anyone that works for Trump.

This is an instance when capital punishment is really indicated. Unlike a mass murderer that can be safely kept away from the public, allowing a traitor like Mueller to escape with his life encourages nefarious opposition forces to call for his release.

And three cheers for Stone, who kept his cool during this outrage and didn’t even look dismayed!

Another cunning stunt by the stunning Amy Berman Jackson.

STFU, Berman-Jackson, you Democrat whore.

Waiting for the Senate to subpoena Der Mueller to appear before Congress and explain his egregious use of force AND HIS ILLEGAL COORDINATION WITH CNN in arresting Stone..

CONGRESS IS AFRAID OF DER MUELLER (Except Lindsey Graham, shockingly).

Also, the raid PROVED to all of America that CNN and the FBI are ONE THE SAME.

1. ALL references to the FBI should now be stated as 'FBICNN'
2. ALL references to CNN should now be stated as 'CNNFBI'

Its clear that the judge is only gagging one side of this. It may not be a PR campaign, but that is not stopping the government from making impressions in the press. Its only stopping the defendant from defending himself.

The dawn RAID show how UTTERLY DISHONEST that Mueller & his WITCH HUNTERS are & HOW MUCH they need to be SLAPPED DOWN by a federal judge & this FARCE ended NOW.

ImVho, the investigation should have NOT ever been started.

Yours, TMN78247
