Exclusive: First charges filed in Mueller investigation

[Avatar4321]

The real question here is, does Trump give whoever it is a pardon right off the bat? Can Trump be charged with obstruction of justice for using his pardoning powers?

No. He can't. You can't violate the law by using your lawfully exercised power

That doesn't mean anything.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A federal grand jury in Washington on Friday approved the first charges in the investigation led by special counsel Robert Mueller into alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, a source briefed on the matter told Reuters.

Reuters first to verify CNN's exclusive

That's TWO sources now

lol

I wonder who it is. There are so many to choose from.

Manafort - money laundering

Flynn - double agent

Jarred - lying.

Trump Jr. lying

Those are the ones who come to mind without looking anything up.

They will be handcuffed and "walked".

President Trump tweeted this 30 minutes ago: Donald J. Trump‏Verified account @realDonaldTrump 34m34 minutes ago “WHAT HAPPENED” “How Team Hillary played the press for fools on Russia” http://nypost.com/2017/10/26/how-team-hillary-played-the-press-for-fools-on-russia/ … NOW WE KNOW!

An interesting turn of events. James Rosen says it ain't Manafort..

James Rosen on Twitter

So who? Podesta? Flynn? Hillary??

Flynn, Flynn Jr., or Carter Page. Or it could be Donald Jr. or even Kushner. Who knows?

Again I don't think it's anyone close to Trump. He wouldn't be this calm about it if it were

Trump may not know who it is yet.

No. He can't. You can't violate the law by using your lawfully exercised power

From what I'm reading he can pardon anyone for a federal crime as long as it isn't involved in impeachment.

Actually trump can be. As far as impeachment, Congress doesn't even need a reason.

However, a pardon would be the worst thing for trump to do. A pardonee cannot plead the fifth, cuz he cannot incriminate himself over something he is pardoned for.

trump pardons someone and Mueller immediately puts him on the stand.

Please spare us your snowflake wet dreams.

Wet dream?

It is a proven fact Flynn did not register as a foreign agent.

Flynn's son often retweeted stuff from a Russian propaganda troll farm, and was fired for doing such things.

Carter Page is high enough to make a splash, but low enough on the ladder to be a good guy to flip on the others.

It’s happening.


A federal grand jury in Washington, DC, on Friday approved the first charges in the investigation led by special counsel Robert Mueller, according to sources briefed on the matter.
The charges are still sealed under orders from a federal judge. Plans were prepared Friday for anyone charged to be taken into custody as soon as Monday, the sources said. It is unclear what the charges are.

Yep a few Republicans and A LOT of Democrats gots some explaining to do.

Shame none will be our POUS.

Sucks for you none will be democrats. Hilarious you’re so sure Mueller won’t find illegal activity on Trump. Mueller’s gone thru his finances with a fine tooth comb. He’s been dirty his whole life but now turned over a new leaf? Ha!

In the United States, the pardon power for federal crimes is granted to the President of the United States under Article II, Section 2 of the United States Constitution which states that the President "shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment".

even/especially based on that logic, hillary would be far more likely to go to jail than trump [or just about anyone else for that matter]

t

It's probably Manafort, but I'm having a good laugh over this. Obviously the libs are still believing that President Trump will be somehow miraculously taken down by guilt of association, and that the Hildebeast be immediately sworn in. That's just nutty.

Trump will freak out when the difficulties reach into his family members. The kids are in danger of state charges. beyond the zone of pardon safety.

thr whole family is corrupt. They should also indict Melania for being a complete dumbass oblivious to the fact her husband is the biggest cyber bully in the country as she pushes her anti cyber bullying campaign..
