Bharara: Mueller report shows there's 'potential viable prosecution once Donald Trump leaves office'
The Hill via MSN ^ | 4/21/19 | Michael Burke

Posted on 04/21/2019 5:49:12 PM PDT by Libloather

Former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said Sunday that special counsel Robert Mueller's report shows there's "potential" for President Trump to be prosecuted after he leaves office.

"The Mueller view, it seems to me, if you look at the document, is that they absolutely believe there is a potential viable prosecution once Donald Trump leaves office," Bharara said Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union."

Mueller said in his report that he followed Justice Department guidelines that say a sitting president can't be prosecuted, and added that a president "does not have immunity after he leaves office."

Bharara, who was fired by Trump in 2017, said Sunday on "State of the Union" that he doesn't think "it could be more clear" that Trump could be charged with crimes after he leaves office.

Go for it. But I would advise them to look out their windows about 48 hours later. Oh, and a little friendly advice. I wouldn’t linger in that window very long sport.

This is why the military tribunals are essential.

One of PDJT’ finest moments (and there are many) was unceremoniously firing Preet’s sorry arrogant ass.

If you’re not a part of the political class don’t run or we’ll ruin you no matter what it takes. They don’t even have a case. I hope Trump wins in a landslide.

The standard of prosecution and conviction for an ex president is sky high. They would have to have video, audio, witnesses, paper and physical evidence to even touch it. See how Hillary is untouchable.

MSM can still fill their pages 24/7 with a continuous anti-Trump narrative. ignore them.

RT notes Yale/FBI/CNN Rangappa’s rubbish at NYT:

Edited 21 Apr: RT: NYT use actual ex-FBI agent to warn readers of Barr’s ‘Russian disinfo tactic’ (with Soviet imagery)
The Mueller report didn’t just clear President Donald Trump of colluding with Russia, the New York Times said, it handed Russia’s Vladimir Putin the “ultimate victory.” If you thought otherwise, blame secret Soviet mind games.

In a New York Times op-ed (LINK), former FBI agent-turned CNN analyst Asha Rangappa argues that by conflating the terms “collusion” and “conspiracy,” Attorney General William Barr performed a bizarre Soviet trick on the American public, giving Putin his “ultimate victory.”
The trick, Rangappa explains, is called ‘Reflexive Control,’ a “uniquely Russian” concept that, put simply, involves drip-feeding an audience carefully-prepared words to make them reach the conclusion you want them to...

Was CNN practising “reflexive control” when it dropped non-stop “collusion bombshells” over the last two years? Was the New York Times using Soviet mind games when it pondered “Is this the collusion we were waiting for?” And was Hillary Clinton somehow doing the Kremlin’s bidding when she told USA Today she was “convinced” that “there was collusion” between Trump and Russia?
That much is unanswered...

Trump, meanwhile, has vowed to get to the bottom of whether there was “probable cause” backing up the FBI’s spying, sorry, “surveillance.” By all currently available information, the FISA warrant allowing the FBI to do so was obtained on the back of some shaky evidence; namely the notorious and unverified ‘Steele Dossier,’ a collection of anti-Trump gossip compiled by a former British spy, sorry, “intelligence agent,” on behalf of the Clinton campaign...

It sounds like a threat against POTUS if he doesn’t do what Bharara says.

TWEET: George Papadopolous:
The astonishing info coming out of Italy is that FBI attaché in Rome, Michael Gaeta, was in direct communications with Joseph Mifsud in Rome. No surprise that Mifsud is openly living a block from the US embassy there! Why aren’t American journalists on the next flight to Rome?

And there’s a potential, viable possibility that you won’t be around when Trump’s out of office.

This turd like Andrew Weissman would be stripped of his law license and thrown into jail if there was actual justice in the legal field.
