Hanson: The country is about to witness an investigatory train wreck
San Jose Mercury News ^ | April 26th, 2018 | By Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 04/26/2018 4:25:31 PM PDT by Mariner

The country is about to witness an investigatory train wreck.

In one direction, special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation train is looking for any conceivable thing that President Donald Trump’s campaign team might have done wrong in 2016.

The oncoming train is slower but also larger. It involves congressional investigations, Department of Justice referrals and inspector general’s reports — mostly focused on improper or illegal FBI and DOJ behavior during the 2016 election.

Why are the two now about to collide?

By charging former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn for lying to the FBI, Mueller emphasized that even the appearance of false testimony is felonious behavior.

If that is so, then the DOJ will likely have to charge former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe with perjury or related offenses. A report from the Office of the Inspector General indicates that McCabe lied at least four times to federal investigators.

Former FBI Director James Comey may also have lied to Congress when he testified that he had not written his report on the Hillary Clinton email scandal before interviewing Clinton. Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and former CIA Director John Brennan lied under oath to Congress on matters related to surveillance.

Clinton aides Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin likely lied when they told FBI investigators they had no idea that their then-boss, Hillary Clinton, was using an illegal private email server. Both had communicated with Clinton about it.

IMHO, Muller's despicable rail roading of Gen Flynn is going to be his downfall.

It all soon be revealed that Gen Flynn was set up and framed by the FBI and then knowingly extorted to plead guilty to charges that Mueller's team knew were false and manufactured

Call back the good FBI agents that were purged in the up or out policy where Mueller and Comey promoted the garbage to the top.

There's no BOOM, no BOMBSHELL until Republicans start punching back hard and force the media to cover this.

No one wants to stick their neck out for fear Trump may be guilty of something (so they don't want to be seen as having defended him) and those who hope there is something to the allegations so they can get rid of Trump.

("Everyone should pay taxes.
Right. Duties, imposts and excises.

Everyone should pay the same rate.)

Right. You want that $3,500,000 yacht you pay the same rate.

Oh, wait. You mean a progressive income tax. That's what has us in trouble now.

I cannot be the only one who was of the opinion that with the election over, it would have been politic to let the various Democrats quietly go away. Then they engineered the Mueller probe to try and find an excuse to overturn the election. At this point I want to see full criminal prosecution of all the illegal activities of the Obama admin by someone both able and more to the point willing to prosecute senior Democrats and high ranking professional bureaucrats.

It’s pretty clear by now that nobody can shame Trump into anything. He is the strong horse.

This DOJ does not follow the rule of law in an impartial manner.

This AG does not require anyone in the DOJ to follow the Constitution.

Who exactly is going to make anyone go to trial, much less to prison?

Oh, yeah, the white hats, who are waiting for maximum damage by Mueller before doing anything substantive.

DC is a lawless land of organized crime. Reports and referrals are used to give it a patina of legality.

Sessions liked the Federal Persecutors who tormented Cliven Bundy. Perhaps he wilo bring them in to exact real justice for all... but the guilty.

He is owed big money by the Obama administration, take all the retirment pensions, including Obama’s, and those involved in the deep state treatchery, and pay it to those harmed.

The Federal government is depraved and President Trump is one of the few honest good guys.

We don’t need the MSM. You give them too much power. There are a lot of little small booms and bombshells already dripping out about these crimes. Truth is coming out. Watch and learn how we MAGA.
