I have the highest regard for Conservative Treehouse. Always a week or two ahead of the news. And almost 100% correct. Amazing record.
violation of civil rights they used fisa warrant because they had no probable cause to get warrant on manafort...
It’s called a blank check. This is the law that they ran/run the op under (c’mon, we all know this isn’t really an investigation, it’s an op). They can do anything they want with no oversight...oh, wait...there’s that pesky judge-Thank God!!
§ 600.4 Jurisdiction.
(a)Original jurisdiction. The jurisdiction of a Special Counsel shall be established by the Attorney General. The Special Counsel will be provided with a specific factual statement of the matter to be investigated. The jurisdiction of a Special Counsel shall also include the authority to investigate and prosecute federal crimes committed in the course of, and with intent to interfere with, the Special Counsel’s investigation, such as perjury, obstruction of justice, destruction of evidence, and intimidation of witnesses; and to conduct appeals arising out of the matter being investigated and/or prosecuted.
(b)Additional jurisdiction. If in the course of his or her investigation the Special Counsel concludes that additional jurisdiction beyond that specified in his or her original jurisdiction is necessary in order to fully investigate and resolve the matters assigned, or to investigate new matters that come to light in the course of his or her investigation, he or she shall consult with the Attorney General, who will determine whether to include the additional matters within the Special Counsel’s jurisdiction or assign them elsewhere.
(c)Civil and administrative jurisdiction. If in the course of his or her investigation the Special Counsel determines that administrative remedies, civil sanctions or other governmental action outside the criminal justice system might be appropriate, he or she shall consult with the Attorney General with respect to the appropriate component to take any necessary action. A Special Counsel shall not have civil or administrative authority unless specifically granted such jurisdiction by the Attorney General.
Yep and that is one of the reasons the judge BBQ’d them.
Ellis seemed amused and not persuaded

Ellis basically told the Mueller team, shut up and get me the entire unreacted memo. I am the judge and I can and will decide whaat is secret and what isn’t.
Looks like a man that was sentenced by Judge Ellis to me.

He who sups with the devil needs a long spoon.
Too much gray.
Makes sense: Without the July 2017 (Carter Page - even though he already left Trump campaign months ago) FISA extension, Robert Mueller would not have predicate investigative authority to reach into the accounts of his targets and extract their personal communication. Mueller would have needed to go to court for a search warrant; he is conducting a criminal investigation; he would have needed probable cause. However, by applying the 2016 extended FISA Title-1 warrant, the Clinton-Mueller special counsel used the previous legal authority to extract all the information they wanted to review.
....
Wow, just wow.
If the judge or Congress uncovers this, it’s all over.
I am absolutely amazed that Trump has been as squeaky clean under such close scrutiny. Few would fare as well.
That's why they're so desperate to destroy him.
The Judge just unearthed new grounds for Manafort to sue.
...
Does anybody remember that all the Democrats Mueller hired demanded that they got huge insurance policies against civil suits?
WOW...Thank you for sharing this important information.
TREASON
Yes. forget coup.
“...Trump is campaigning...”
Yes that he is. Thank God President Trump knows this needs to happen and is not waiting around for the RNC.
And if the same thing happened with Flynn and the judge there didn’t notice or ignored it...?
Sedition, however, may be more appropriate:
Seditious conspiracy (18 U.S.C. § 2384) is a crime under United States law. It is stated as follows:
If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.
With prejudice, one hopes!
Sounds like one of them "process crimes."
