Gregg Jarrett: What is Robert Mueller investigating (since collusion is not a crime)?
Fox News ^ | 05/23/2017 | Gregg Jarrett

Posted on 05/23/2017 10:47:05 PM PDT by ForYourChildren

Robert Mueller is tasked with finding a crime that does not exist in the law. It is a legal impossibility.

As special counsel, Mueller can engage in all manner of spectacular jurisprudential gymnastics. However, it will not change the fact that colluding with Russia is not, under America’s criminal codes, a crime. It’s just not there.

Maybe it should be. Perhaps someday Congress will pass a law criminalizing such conduct in political campaigns. But for now, there is not a single statute outlawing collaboration with a foreign government in a U.S. presidential election. Or any election, for that matter.

Why, then, are so many people who are following the Trump-Russia saga under the mistaken impression that collusion is a crime? Principally, because it is a loaded word with an historic criminal connotation.

(Also, anyone really believing that ought to turn loose of Donald Trump because he’s trying to embrace it into an integrated whole, even at the cost of doing some markedly “liberal” things.)

God alone is good.

Humanity is one band of rebels against Him. You, me, the guy behind the tree.

Were it not for the grace of God, we’d either be wiped out of existence or living in hell now.

So the hunt for a pure human hero is going to have to be conducted in vain. The wise understand this to a lesser or greater degree, and reserve unreserved praise for God only.

Obviously the Brownshirts of the MSM.

Rather a narrow definition and usage of the word “good” don’t you think? GOOD GRIEF!

Why did Trump’s Justice Dept. let it happen?

Is the AG senile?

As narrow as God.

It has to be. If we could manufacture our own good, rather than be constrained to share in the good that God is, we wouldn’t need God.

Our good is derivative — just like the moonlight came from the sun.

And guess what. Read the story about what went on in the Garden of Eden. That very lie that we wouldn’t need God was sold to a willing, gullible humanity through Adam and Eve.

Shape up, the fight is going to be a bit longer.

Sorry, I am not going to discourse according to your rules. Which apparently include incoherent slams as from a hypocrite.

Did you really think that I would?

I have no idea what you’re talking about, and I suspect neither do you.

Really, nobody here ever has any idea what you might do at any particular time.

You’re a sort of random phrase generator that creates its own trigger.

Yes, and that is what is off-kilter with our society.

But yes, HTR does pick some nits to find a reason to post a sarcastic reply at times.
