Honest questions were never asked during this investigation. When Sessions recused himself it apparently left a bunch of partisans who frankly do not look very smart in charge.... just as intended?
Was there not one boss at DOJ that asked simple questions about all of this nonsense from the beginning? Not even one?
For there to be an investigation there must be a predicate crime. There was not. There never has been. Gregg does a good job of laying this out.... FARA - nope. Logan Act - ridiculous.
This is a fundamental problem within the FBI. Counter-intelligence investigations are different than criminal investigations. The “dossier” was a counter-intelligence investigation so we are supposed to accept that they took that investigation and morphed it into a criminal investigation via the Special Counsel?
Again, why was there not one boss attorney at DOJ that put the brakes on this and demanded to know what the underlying crime was to open a criminal investigation. We know Rosenstein charged ahead with some dubious reasoning. Sally Yates suggested the Logan Act for Flynn.
This should frighten every American. What was the crime? You can accuse me of anything, but for a law enforcement agency to open an investigation there must be at least a reasonable suspicion that I committed a crime. I am still trying to figure out what the crime was that justified a Special Counsel who went full-bore criminal investigation targeting people with process crimes and an old case that had previously been declined for prosecution (Manafort).
Flynn was the crown jewel for Mueller and that is not aging well and it also looks increasingly partisan by the day. Same question - what was the predicate crime violated by Flynn?
What was the crime?

Trump won the election

The predicate crime was Trump winning the primary and then the election.
The GOPe is busy looking the other way while Trump is assaulted by the coup because they hate him every bit as much as Schumer and Pelosi do.
