Alan Dershowitz: Maybe Mueller should be investigated
Washington Examiner ^ | April 23, 2018 | Alan Dershowitz

Posted on 04/24/2018 1:19:41 PM PDT by libstripper

Just as the first casualty of war is truth, so, too, the first casualty of hyperpartisan politics is civil liberties.

Many traditional civil libertarians have allowed their strong anti-Trump sentiments to erase their long-standing commitment to neutral civil liberties. They are now so desperate to get President Trump that they are prepared to compromise the most basic due process rights. They forget the lesson of history that such compromises made against one’s enemy are often used as precedents against one’s friends. As Robert Bolt put it in the play and movie "A Man for all Seasons":

Mueller may be implicated in a vile way in the whole Whitey Bulger scandal by having helped conceal the innocence of four men who were unjustly convicted of murder. Needs to be investigated.

Alan Dershowitz: Maybe Mueller should be investigated

I said that right from the beginning. I said "If those bastards want to play this game, then we need to be investigating the investigator with the intentions of prosecuting him for any illegalities we have discovered."

Let him go bankrupt defending himself from a vicious Federal prosecutor. Let him suffer the worry of having someone try to put him in prison.

Would it be fair to ask the Spec Counsel to certify that there were no prior influences, conditions, or agreements concerning the investigative outcomes after his appointment or selection?

Scooter Libby for special prosecutor.

“Let him go bankrupt defending himself from a vicious Federal prosecutor. Let him suffer the worry of having someone try to put him in prison.”

I think that will be Rudy’s job. Rudy will probably meet with Mueller, explain to him that the DoJ has records going back to Uranium One which shows some illegality bordering on treason. Then he will probably mention that not only is Comey and McCabe going to prison, Brennan and Clapper are also going and all roads point back to Mueller.

Unless Rudy does something like this, I seriously doubt this is going to end a week or two after Rudy comes on board.

I thought from Day One that Mueller was dirty. When head of the FBI, he never referred any of the dirty Obama crooks for prosecution, he hired Democrat activists to lead his witch hunt, he failed to inform anyone that Peter Strzok, the lead investigator was removed from the investigation, and does anyone, anyone at all, think he never discussed the investigation with his dearest friend, Sleazeball Comey?

Little slow on the uptake there Al.
For years Freepers have been saying Mueller should investigated.

President Trump needs to appoint a Special Investigator to investigate the Special Investigator.

I agree with most of what Mr. Dershowitz is saying but he needs to wake up on this point. Civil libertarianism left the Democrat Party decades ago.

I hope you are right.

28 CFR 603:

(b) The Attorney General shall consult with the Assistant Attorney General for Administration to ensure an appropriate method of appointment, and to ensure that a Special Counsel undergoes an appropriate background investigation and a detailed review of ethics and conflicts of interest issues. A Special Counsel shall be appointed as a “confidential employee” as defined in 5 U.S.C. 7511(b)(2)(C).

Did that happen!?!?

Mueller was an assistant U.S. attorney in Boston, the head of its criminal division, the head of the criminal division in Main Justice, and the director of the FBI during the most scandalous miscarriage of justice in the modern history of the FBI. Four innocent people were framed by the FBI to protect mass murdering gangsters who were working as FBI informers while they were killing innocent people.

The Boston FBI was corrupt to its core. Muëller was in charge. Muëller is responsible. He either knew and did nothing or he’s incompetent.
