Sessions: Federal Investigation of Charlottesville Underway
Breitbart ^ | August 13, 2017 | Ian Mason

Posted on 08/13/2017 9:50:53 AM PDT by be-baw

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA – Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued a statement Saturday indicating a federal investigation has been opened into the events surrounding the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. Sessions, who had already condemned the violence and “any message of hate and intolerance” as events were unfolding, delivered the following statement as the dust settled in the home of the University of Virginia:

The violence and deaths in Charlottesville strike at the heart of American law and justice. When such actions arise from racial bigotry and hatred, they betray our core values and cannot be tolerated. I have talked with FBI Director Chris Wray, FBI agents on the scene, and law enforcement officials for the state of Virginia. The FBI has been supporting state and local authorities throughout the day. U.S. Attorney Rick Mountcastle has commenced a federal investigation and will have the full support of the Department of Justice. Justice will prevail.

In your world it costs next to nothing to defend against an out of control prosecutor with twelve high powered attorneys at his command and an unlimited budget.

Of course, your world is psychotic, so reality is irrelevant.

They never had anything. As far as that goes, I believe that they have nothing. They are also using the Josef Goebbels method of telling a lie so often that it becomes, in the minds of some, the truth. I also know how the Democrats can and will lie. At this moment in time, Muller's sole purpose in life is to get something, true or not, to use against President Trump.

I don’t understand why Antifa is also not considered a racist org.

We have about 2-3% of blacks, a few more Cubans, some other hispanics and probably about 10% of Jews.

So realistically when Antifa attacks they are race based attacks. I was at two Trump rallies and each was probably 95% white. Now I am not a politician who likes to create the impression of way more diversity in our ranks. I am being more realist.

It was the Daily Beast article that was cited earlier today on FR. People with more knowledge and sophistication than you didn’t challenge one word of the article. Rather, knowing the cost of good attorneys, the analysis was accepted implicitly.

Idk how sheltered and inexperienced a person woukd have to be to think that defending against a Mueller onslaught wouldn’t cost an arm and a leg. Your smarmy comments only serve to emphasize your lack of perception. Bankrupting targets is a big part of what special counsels and prosecutors do. That way, even if there are ultimately no charges, or if a jury lets them off the hook, they’ll still have been punished in full. It’s a dirty racket, and Mueller’s very good at it.

Manafort is worth 50 Million. Flynn is surfing and smiling.

It’s pure speculation that they are being bankrupted.

But if it fits your fantasy, fine.

You have no idea what Sessions is investigating because his office isn’t leaking. Which is as it should be. Too bad the rest of the government does.

And you? All I've done is ask you to back up your assertions with a solid objective primary source. You got snotty. I don't know why, it's a very reasonable request.


To: dynoman

While you sit on your can and do squat? Are your fingers broken? Does your keyboard work?

If you make *some* effort to get the information and fail, I’ll help you out. If you’re too helpless or shiftless to even do a couple of searches on your own, forget it.

When such actions arise from racial bigotry and hatred

Doesn't sound like it, sounds like he is starting with the conclusion it all stems from racial bigotry. Talking points from the left as a beginning point do not give me any hope for a real investigation.

When he begins the investigation by stating his conclusion it is hard to believe it will be a real investigation of all the players.

I just have next to no patience with deliberately stupid people. I have no idea how slow-witted a person would have to be to struggle with this issue. Being aggressively pursued by a federal prosecutor with unlimited funds is outrageously expensive to defend against...by design.
Flynn is probably on the poor house already—and I absolutely don’t care if you believe that or not. There’s no cure for willful stupid.

Manafort doesn’t have millions of dollars of disposable cash just laying around. Plus his work as a consultant is doubtless suffering. The average person who can afford Manafort is looking for someone not under such an ominous cloud. With Mueller’s reputation, no one knows who he’ll ultimately frame. Reportedly he’s trying to flip Manafort as a means of getting bigger fish. Dirty as can be.

And while all this goes on you are either too thick to figure out the swath of destruction—financial and otherwise—Mueller is wreaking, or you just don’t care.

I’ve gotten to that place with you. You’re so clueless, I no longer care. Believe whatever you like. It’s your psychosis—enjoy it.

” I do wish some of the posters were a little less quick to pass judgment. It’s easy, especially on the Internet, to say harsh or hurtful things, but it’s not necessary. It takes longer to really understand and appreciate where a person is coming from and to respond in a respectful, circumspect way, but the results are almost always worth the effort.”

Maybe take heed to your own words? You were on the attack from the beginning. You made assertions, I asked for objective primary sources to back them up. A very reasonable request. You were belligerent - name calling and insults right up to your last reply to me.

It is what it is.

Asking me to prove that being hounded by a goon like Mueller and his twelve attack dogs is financially devastating is like demanding I prove that water is wet. Some things an honest, reasonably intelligent person should be able to figure out for themselves.

I have zero respect for your ‘debate,’ style. Either you are mentally handicapped—in which case you shouldn’t be burning through other people’s time—or you are dishonest. In either case, a total waste of otherwise good time.

"Asking me to prove that being hounded by a goon like Mueller and his twelve attack dogs is financially devastating is like demanding I prove that water is wet."

No. Your post indicated that financial ruin was the absolute factual reality, I asked for an objective primary source for the statement. When people make statements as if they are the absolute bedrock truth they should not be surprised if others ask them to back them up.

I have zero respect for stating subjective opinions as if God came down and wrote them on a tablet of stone. That's a very arrogant elitist thing to do. And it's what you did. You said; "Both General Flynn and Paul Manafort are already being financially ruined." as if it was absolute objective fact. It isn't. Especially when it's based on an anonymous source the Daily Beast quoted.

Accuracy matters.


To: dynoman

Both General Flynn and Paul Manafort are already being financially ruined. For you this is irrelevant?

The investigation is just gearing up. Two grand juries are in session. The idea that Mueller is going to clear Trump and call it a day is hallucinogenic.

More personal attack noted. Now I’m mentally handicapped or dishonest in addition to sheltered, inexperienced, smarmy, psychotic, disgusting, helpless, shiftless, hallucinogenic, snotty ignorant, stupid, and clueless.

All words you used. Impressive.

From your bio;

“I do wish some of the posters were a little less quick to pass judgment. It’s easy, especially on the Internet, to say harsh or hurtful things, but it’s not necessary.”

They need to find out who is financing all the groups that showed up.

To be truly just.


Exactly!! I posted similar, previously.

Who is funding this cr@p?

Knowing this is the ONLY just investigation.
