Checkmate. How President Trump’s legal team outfoxed Mueller

Human Events:

When the Mueller Report was released on April 18th, most commentators focused on the “explosive” factual allegations. But other than the shocking revelation that the President once used an expletive in private, very few of those facts were novel; most were leaked long ago.

At the end of Volume II of the Mueller Report, however, there were 20 pages of genuinely new material.

There, the former FBI director turned Special Counsel Robert Mueller defended his “Application of Obstruction-Of-Justice Statutes To The President.”  These overlooked 20 pages were dedicated to defending Mueller’s interpretation of a single subsection of a single obstruction-of-justice statute: 18 U.S.C. § 1512(c)(2).

That’s quite strange, but you know what’s stranger still?

  1. Lawyers argue. One is right and one is wrong.
    Jesus said:
    Luke 11:46
    And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.
    Luke 11:52
    Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.

    Has anything changed in the legal profession the past 2,000 years?

  2. Mr. M’you-Err-Lair

    Was given one job by the
    smellocrats and trump haters

    His job was to destroy or at least
    delegitimize President Trump’s election

    which EVERYBODY KNEW HILLARY

    WAS SUPPOSED TO WIN

    M’you – err – lair failed and is ergo
    a professional unemployable in DC
    because
    regardless of exhaustive effort

    He CANNOT get the JOB DONE !

    Prez Trump’s lawyers didn’t have to do anything
    just pursue and peruse the facts
    and let the schemers

    LIE and present

    LIES as truth.

  3. Both Trump’s collection of advisors and obviously himself and William Barr as AG have handled this has totally knee capped a two year investigation and media frenzy! It is really quite fascinating how adept this attacked president was at foreseeing where their opponents were going and beating them at every move! Even by doing nothing! Not falling into their traps.
    I have been following this close and it looks like the dems are heading to jail!

  4. The letter from AG Barr is really worth a read. The Democrats are terrified of Barr as the nineteen page letter knocked out every argument Mueller thought he had.
    AG Barr is a brilliant attorney, we are lucky to have him in that position.
    The Democrats acted like a pack of rabid dogs today. I’m sure AG Barr will show them no mercy after that rude display.

  5. It’s always very heartening to watch evil people get snagged in their own traps. I suspect that if this had happened to any other Republican president we’d be singing a different tune today. A dirge. The only thing left now is for the Ds to whine and cry and beat their breasts in the media, saying “Barr was Trump’s ‘hand picked’ AG.” Why yes, yes he was. So?

  6. I ask you, what is the story with Rosenstein? Has he gotten away with saving his own skin or did he start cooperating with Barr and the WH (future testimony) in exchange for his skin? Or, does he only think he got away with something and Barr and the WH is letting him dream on?

    And why has Jim Comey stopped sending out tweets that read like a zen koan?

    ..not so, @ JayPee. His PRIMARY job was ALWAYS to collect and destroy evidence on prominent DEMOCRATS, including HIMSELF, in a way that could not be challenged or even questioned.

    The Democrats had been more careless than usual because they were so confident that da fix was IN, that they got lackadaisical and didn’t cover their tracks, figuring that 8 years of Hillary would MORE than do US in. When they realized their error, they panicked and scabbed together this silly “Dossier” thing in true Alinsky fashion (accuse your enemy of doing what you, yourself, are doing to cause confusion and doubt), putting themselves even DEEPER in the hole.

    THAT’S what Bob Mueller’s REAL job was.

    A cleaner.

    He spent YEARS gathering ANY evidence of Democrat wrongdoing, sometimes at the point of a gun, and now that evidence will NEVER see the light of day.

    THAT’S why he could have only Democrat loyalists on his team, some that THEMSELVES were subject to prosecution, because only fellow travellers could be trusted to dispose of THIS material.
    There is very little chance of successfully charging ANY Democrat with their numerous treasons as a result.

    So from THAT point of view, Muller was a raging success. For Democrats.

    …and yes, they were happy to have a couple of good years of smearing the President and throwing sand in the eyes of the American public. And yes, they would have been DELIGHTED to remove a duly elected President whose love for his Country is contrary to EVERYTHING they stand for. And they may yet succeed because impeachment is POLITICAL and not LAW based, and they’ve spent 60 years dumbing America down and importing people USED to totalitarianism, so they still have a shot.

    But the cover up is good enough, for now.

    It lets them live to lie another day.

    I do not believe Justice is possible at this point. Nothing short of Civil War will bring their crimes home to them. Our President is a fighter, but he’s ONE man, and the evil in Washington on BOTH sides of the aisle is LEGION.

    True Justice may well require We The People fulfill our duties to our Nation under the Second Amendment of the Constitution, with the hope and expectation that the United States Military will see fit to defend Our President as well, but be prepared and determined, for it is better to die free than live as slaves, however it may fall…

  8. It should be illegal for lawyers to hold public office.
    Their main job is to create and maintain chaos.
    That’s how they make their money.
    Chaos does not make for good government (if there is such a thing).
