Rosenstein / Mueller At It Again - Inventing Crimes To Intimidate / Get a Plea Deal

[Hutch Starskey]

You snowflakes are getting pretty desperate to smear Mueller. What is it- 4 guilty pleas so far?

I love how desperately you snowflakes throw out those 4 indictments / guilty pleas.

How many careers are you Trumpsters willing to destroy in order to protect your Dear Leader?

Meanwhile- Mueller continues his investigation- which so far has yielded the following.

The full list of known indictments and plea deals in Mueller’s probe
1) George Papadopoulos, former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser, pleaded guilty in October to making false statements to the FBI.

2) Michael Flynn, Trump’s former national security adviser, pleaded guilty in December to making false statements to the FBI.

3) Paul Manafort, Trump’s former campaign chair, was indicted in October in Washington, DC on charges of conspiracy, money laundering, false statements, and failure to disclose foreign assets — all related to his work for Ukrainian politicians before he joined the Trump campaign. He’s pleaded not guilty on all counts. Then, in February, Mueller filed a new case against him in Virginia, with tax, financial, and bank fraud charges.

4) Rick Gates, a former Trump campaign aide and Manafort’s longtime junior business partner, was indicted on similar charges to Manafort. But he has now agreed to a plea deal with Mueller’s team, pleading guilty to just one false statements charge and one conspiracy charge.

5-20) 13 Russian nationals and three Russian companies were indicted on conspiracy charges, with some also being accused of identity theft. The charges related to a Russian propaganda effort designed to interfere with the 2016 campaign. The companies involved are the Internet Research Agency, often described as a “Russian troll farm,” and two other companies that helped finance it. The Russian nationals indicted include 12 of the agency’s employees and its alleged financier, Yevgeny Prigozhin.

21) Richard Pinedo: This California man pleaded guilty to an identity theft charge in connection with the Russian indictments, and has agreed to cooperate with Mueller.

22) Alex van der Zwaan: This London lawyer pleaded guilty to making false statements to the FBI about his contacts with Rick Gates and another unnamed person based in Ukraine.

and?

BTW, what happened to the guy they were spying on Carter Page?

Witness?
Double agent?

He's the only one to never lawyer up. He's obviously cooperating with someone.

not according to him, but why would you care about that.

Pay attention to what he does, not what he says.

Why does the special counsel need to invent an offense to get a guilty plea?

Why doesn’t he demand a plea to one of the several truly egregious statutory crimes he claims have been committed?

Good questions.

These columns have many times observed Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s failure to set limits on Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation. To trigger the appointment of a special counsel, federal regulations require the Justice Department to identify the crimes that warrant investigation and prosecution — crimes that the Justice Department is too conflicted to investigate in the normal course; crimes that become the parameters of the special counsel’s jurisdiction.

Rosenstein, instead, put the cart before the horse: Mueller was invited to conduct a fishing expedition, a boundless quest to hunt for undiscovered crimes, rather than an investigation and prosecution of known crimes.

That deviation, it turns out, is not the half of it. With Rosenstein’s passive approval, Mueller is shredding Justice Department charging policy by alleging earth-shattering crimes, then cutting a sweetheart deal that shields the defendant from liability for those crimes and from the penalties prescribed by Congress. The special counsel, moreover, has become a legislature unto himself, promulgating the new, grandiose crime of “conspiracy against the United States” by distorting the concept of “fraud.”


As already recorded in their past, both men are guilty of prosecutorial misconduct and highly questionable professional ethics. In the past, as we have seen and is being reported in this Witch Hunt, Mueller has bullied and intimidated witnesses / suspects, indicted issued huge over-the-top indictments without having ample evidence just to intimidate a suspect to get weak plea deals and agreements to 'cooperate'. Rosenstein has even, as records show, withheld evidence that would have prevented innocent people from going to jail. Even worse, Rosenstein even CREATED / MANUFACTURED crimes against innocent people in order to send them to jail...after which they were later freed...AFTER going to jail. (Why THAT SOB - actually he and Mueller BOTH - is (are) not in jail today is a mystery as well as a travesty of justice.)


The Manafort / Gates Indictment is a perfect example of all of this:

MASSIVE, Over-The-Top insignificant-to-the-investigation-purpose Indictment for the purpose of intimidating witnesses / suspects then offering a SWEET deal in hopes of / in order to get a plea to a much lesser crime and an agreement to help ensnare the real target.

After bing charged with investigating Russian Collusion and Russian Interference in the 2016 election, Mueller charged Manafort and Gates with MASSIVE Money Laundering and Conspiracy Charges DATNIG BACK TO BEFORE OBAMA WAS INITIALLY ELECTED PRESIDENT...nothing to do with the purpose of his investigation. Mueller made sure there was a whole host of felony charges filed. Gates faced a minimum of 30 years in jail...before Mueller offered to drop all charges except to extremely minor charges that called for 0 (ZERO) - 5 Years IF HE AGREED TO COOPERATE.

Mueller and Rosenstein are 'shredding' the DOJ's prosecutorial standards:

The Justice Department’s manual further admonishes prosecutors to refrain from guilty pleas that could “adversely affect the investigation or prosecution of others.” That is exactly what Mueller has done to the ongoing prosecution of Manafort. By giving Gates a pass on the bank-fraud (and tax-fraud, and money-laundering) charges, Mueller signals that these allegations are inflated. A jury could well feel justified in giving Manafort a pass on them, too.

Their past having been recorded and well known, Rosenstein and Mueller have over-played they hand, showing how desperate they are to get Trump, committing the same grievous offenses they have in the past. It has already been reported that most of the evidence on Manafort, recovered from his home after a search warrant was exercised, could be thrown out. Mueller's team took 'evidence' from the home not listed on the warrant...making the entire search invalid / illegal and all evidence inadmissible. Rosenstein's and Mueller's case against Manafort and Gates is in jeopardy...as is their entire investigation. Due to their past repeat performance, Rosenstein and Mueller may find themselves in trouble (hopefully) before all of this is over.

And by traitors you mean career FBI agents who have spent their lives protecting the United States- but who are not proven their personal loyalty to your Dear Leader...

 

[BULLDOG]

Meuller should investigate the entire Dem party leadership, no need for any evidence of crimes just investigate them until crimes are found or they go bankrupt and plead to a deal.

You mean like BENGHAZI, BENGHAZI, BENGHAZI?

Papa was a self-important, unpaid Trump campaign worker who was indicted after the FBI was 'tipped off' about his OVERHEARD DRUNKEN conversation in a British Pub with an Australian 'Ambassador' who turned out to be not only the one who set up the meeting and tipped off the FBI but also turned out to be a HUGE Hillary supporter and Donor.

Flynn was an idiot who lied to the FBI about something that was not even illegal, brought up for indictment by the same FIRED Trump-hating Mueller team member / 'Re-assigned' FBI agent who protected Hillary from indictment for Espionage, Criminal Negligence, Obstruction and 30,000 violations of the FOIA and Federal Records ACT AND protected her aides, Huma and Mills, from indictment on the same crime - lying to the FBI.

Manafort and Gates were charged with money laundering dating back to before Obama was elected President... bwuhahaha...

[BULLDOG]

then why after almost a year hasn't Mueller looked at the DNC server? That is ground zero and still hasn't ever been looked at.

DNC's server gets hacked - all their dirty little secrets get out. Democrats suddenly start screaming 'Russians', trying to distract from the fact that the DNC Chairwoman was running her own Pakistani Spy ring, hiring terrorist-connected Pakistani IT spies and giving them illegal access to classified House files AND gave them access to the DNC server, access to all DNC member e-mails, THEIR USERNAMES, AND PASSWORDS.

...but it had to be the RUSSIANS.

Democrats suddenly start screaming 'Russians', trying to distract from the fact that the DNC Chairwoman was running her own Pakistani Spy ring, hiring terrorist-connected Pakistani IT spies and giving them illegal access to classified House files AND gave them access to the DNC server, access to all DNC member e-mails, THEIR USERNAMES, AND PASSWORDS.

...but it had to be the RUSSIANS.

Bwuhahahaha.....

It's not like they invited Russians into the oval office to give way top secret information, is it?

Yes, it's EXACTLY like that!!!!!!!!!!

Why does the special counsel need to invent an offense to get a guilty plea?

Why doesn’t he demand a plea to one of the several truly egregious statutory crimes he claims have been committed?

Good questions.

These columns have many times observed Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s failure to set limits on Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation. To trigger the appointment of a special counsel, federal regulations require the Justice Department to identify the crimes that warrant investigation and prosecution — crimes that the Justice Department is too conflicted to investigate in the normal course; crimes that become the parameters of the special counsel’s jurisdiction.

Rosenstein, instead, put the cart before the horse: Mueller was invited to conduct a fishing expedition, a boundless quest to hunt for undiscovered crimes, rather than an investigation and prosecution of known crimes.

That deviation, it turns out, is not the half of it. With Rosenstein’s passive approval, Mueller is shredding Justice Department charging policy by alleging earth-shattering crimes, then cutting a sweetheart deal that shields the defendant from liability for those crimes and from the penalties prescribed by Congress. The special counsel, moreover, has become a legislature unto himself, promulgating the new, grandiose crime of “conspiracy against the United States” by distorting the concept of “fraud.”


As already recorded in their past, both men are guilty of prosecutorial misconduct and highly questionable professional ethics. In the past, as we have seen and is being reported in this Witch Hunt, Mueller has bullied and intimidated witnesses / suspects, indicted issued huge over-the-top indictments without having ample evidence just to intimidate a suspect to get weak plea deals and agreements to 'cooperate'. Rosenstein has even, as records show, withheld evidence that would have prevented innocent people from going to jail. Even worse, Rosenstein even CREATED / MANUFACTURED crimes against innocent people in order to send them to jail...after which they were later freed...AFTER going to jail. (Why THAT SOB - actually he and Mueller BOTH - is (are) not in jail today is a mystery as well as a travesty of justice.)


The Manafort / Gates Indictment is a perfect example of all of this:

MASSIVE, Over-The-Top insignificant-to-the-investigation-purpose Indictment for the purpose of intimidating witnesses / suspects then offering a SWEET deal in hopes of / in order to get a plea to a much lesser crime and an agreement to help ensnare the real target.

After bing charged with investigating Russian Collusion and Russian Interference in the 2016 election, Mueller charged Manafort and Gates with MASSIVE Money Laundering and Conspiracy Charges DATNIG BACK TO BEFORE OBAMA WAS INITIALLY ELECTED PRESIDENT...nothing to do with the purpose of his investigation. Mueller made sure there was a whole host of felony charges filed. Gates faced a minimum of 30 years in jail...before Mueller offered to drop all charges except to extremely minor charges that called for 0 (ZERO) - 5 Years IF HE AGREED TO COOPERATE.

Mueller and Rosenstein are 'shredding' the DOJ's prosecutorial standards:

The Justice Department’s manual further admonishes prosecutors to refrain from guilty pleas that could “adversely affect the investigation or prosecution of others.” That is exactly what Mueller has done to the ongoing prosecution of Manafort. By giving Gates a pass on the bank-fraud (and tax-fraud, and money-laundering) charges, Mueller signals that these allegations are inflated. A jury could well feel justified in giving Manafort a pass on them, too.

Their past having been recorded and well known, Rosenstein and Mueller have over-played they hand, showing how desperate they are to get Trump, committing the same grievous offenses they have in the past. It has already been reported that most of the evidence on Manafort, recovered from his home after a search warrant was exercised, could be thrown out. Mueller's team took 'evidence' from the home not listed on the warrant...making the entire search invalid / illegal and all evidence inadmissible. Rosenstein's and Mueller's case against Manafort and Gates is in jeopardy...as is their entire investigation. Due to their past repeat performance, Rosenstein and Mueller may find themselves in trouble (hopefully) before all of this is over.


Mueller Investigation: Gates Deal Violates Federal Policy | National Review


Three-quarters say Trump should fire Mueller
--- Drudge poll: Three-quarters say Trump should fire Mueller

Mueller was given a much broader mandate than investigating possible Trump collusion. He was also tasked with investigating Russian interference in our elections. In addition Manafort was under investigation by the DOJ even before he joined the Trump campaign. Clearly the FBI and DOJ were too conflicted. Sessions endorsed and was a integral part of Trump's campaign which is a violation of DOJ rules. Also Trump interfering in the Flynn investigation and firing of Comey showed they could not do the investigation.

What they are doing is what all prosecutors do. They cut deals with underlings to get to the head. Nothing new to that. If juries took umbrage at that there would be fewer convictions. In most cases like this, the underlings come clean.

No one has over-played their hand except Trump. Trey Gowdy said it best when he said if you are innocent, act like it. It has been reported by who? Some Trump sycophant. Worth noting if a cop searches your car for a traffic offense and finds illegal drugs then you can be charged with a drug crime.

We are supposed to take a Drudge poll seriously?

then why after almost a year hasn't Mueller looked at the DNC server? That is ground zero and still hasn't ever been looked at.

HOW do YOU know that he hasn't? From an article written a year before he started? You have no idea if Mueller was able to examine it.... Mueller's team is mum on everything they are doing and has surprised us and the press on several occasions.

You snowflakes are getting pretty desperate to smear Mueller. What is it- 4 guilty pleas so far?

I love how desperately you snowflakes throw out those 4 indictments / guilty pleas.

How many careers are you Trumpsters willing to destroy in order to protect your Dear Leader?

Meanwhile- Mueller continues his investigation- which so far has yielded the following.

The full list of known indictments and plea deals in Mueller’s probe
1) George Papadopoulos, former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser, pleaded guilty in October to making false statements to the FBI.

2) Michael Flynn, Trump’s former national security adviser, pleaded guilty in December to making false statements to the FBI.

3) Paul Manafort, Trump’s former campaign chair, was indicted in October in Washington, DC on charges of conspiracy, money laundering, false statements, and failure to disclose foreign assets — all related to his work for Ukrainian politicians before he joined the Trump campaign. He’s pleaded not guilty on all counts. Then, in February, Mueller filed a new case against him in Virginia, with tax, financial, and bank fraud charges.

4) Rick Gates, a former Trump campaign aide and Manafort’s longtime junior business partner, was indicted on similar charges to Manafort. But he has now agreed to a plea deal with Mueller’s team, pleading guilty to just one false statements charge and one conspiracy charge.

5-20) 13 Russian nationals and three Russian companies were indicted on conspiracy charges, with some also being accused of identity theft. The charges related to a Russian propaganda effort designed to interfere with the 2016 campaign. The companies involved are the Internet Research Agency, often described as a “Russian troll farm,” and two other companies that helped finance it. The Russian nationals indicted include 12 of the agency’s employees and its alleged financier, Yevgeny Prigozhin.

21) Richard Pinedo: This California man pleaded guilty to an identity theft charge in connection with the Russian indictments, and has agreed to cooperate with Mueller.

22) Alex van der Zwaan: This London lawyer pleaded guilty to making false statements to the FBI about his contacts with Rick Gates and another unnamed person based in Ukraine.

Papa was a self-important, unpaid Trump campaign worker who was indicted after the FBI was 'tipped off' about his OVERHEARD DRUNKEN conversation in a British Pub with an Australian 'Ambassador' who turned out to be not only the one who set up the meeting and tipped off the FBI but also turned out to be a HUGE Hillary supporter and Donor.

Flynn was an idiot who lied to the FBI about something that was not even illegal, brought up for indictment by the same FIRED Trump-hating Mueller team member / 'Re-assigned' FBI agent who protected Hillary from indictment for Espionage, Criminal Negligence, Obstruction and 30,000 violations of the FOIA and Federal Records ACT AND protected her aides, Huma and Mills, from indictment on the same crime - lying to the FBI.

Manafort and Gates were charged with money laundering dating back to before Obama was elected President... bwuhahaha...

13 Russian Nationals arrested - No Connection to Trump

Pinedo - No Connection to Trump

Zwaan - No Connection to Trump


You got NOTHING....STILL...snowflake. Bwuhahahaha.......

It ain't over till it's over sweetheart.

The crusade has been burned to ash, the real traitors exposed, you have ero evidence and no defense for the evidence against Democrat crimes...and you post cartoons.... How appropriate!
