Heh. So you say that they broke the law to prevent Manafort from pulling a Hillary. Got it.

Mueller says Trump not under criminal investigation
- Thread starter Revmitchell

No, I said nothing of the sort and you know that.
Mueller's team had a "no knock" search warrant. Where in the world did you get the idea that it was an illegal search.
Mueller's team had evidence that Manafort and Gates were hiding documents in Manafort's home instead of providing them to the Special Counsel's office, so they obtained a no knock warrant from a judge to find them.
They found them.
Making wild accusations about illegality does not change the facts.
I get that idea from the idea it was not yet approved.
Do you have evidence that a judge did not issue a warrant, because it is certainly within the scope of the Special Counsel's authorization?
Overnight it was reported at Law and Crime that Mueller’s raid on Paul Manafort’s home took place before August 2nd, the date that Rosenstein provided Mueller support for the raid. The FBI reportedly manhandled Manafort and his wife in the early morning raid on July 26th.
Unethical Dirty Cop Mueller Stormed Manafort’s House Two Weeks Before Rosenstein Provided Support for Raid
This is not evidence that there was no warrant for the raid. They had a no knock warrant, so it was not illegal to do the search.
The leveraging of the Rosenstein memo to try to allege that the raid was illegal is simply an opinion by an attorney unrelated to the case.
Regarding the Rosenstein memo coming on August 2nd:
Daniel Goldman, a former federal prosecutor, and Law&Crime contributor doesn’t think it would really impact the Manafort case.
“As the Special Counsel persuasively argues in its opposition, the investigation underlying the charged conduct was properly within the mandate of the original order,” Goldman said in an email to Law&Crime. “ Regardless, given that Manafort was the campaign manager from May 2016 to August 2016 – during the time of the Trump Tower meeting, which he attended, the Republican National Convention, for which the Russia platform was changed, and the leaked hacked DNC emails – we know of ample evidence related to collusion and Manafort to support this search warrant. The Aug 2 memo just provided more explicit detail that was not necessary but just dotted the i’s and crossed the t’s.”

Wonder why Mueller hired an army of leftist supporting lawyers, & not a conservative lawyer in sight. Sounds so fair, right from the git go, right? Mueller should have recused from the start, but had to be there to cover for his buds. He has a reputation for strong arming to get his desired results. Is that how you would like to see the government operate? It’s all good until they come for you.
(1) While your claim is often repeated, it does not hold up under scrutiny.
(2) Federal law forbids hiring based on political leanings, so if Mueller had screened personnel based on political preference, I'm sure you would be rightly complaining about it.
(3) Investigations have to be based on evidence that will stand up in court. Politically-biased charges would be spectacularly easy to defend against.
So you think Mueller is going to play games in the most intensely watched investigation in US history? I don't think so.
Would you have been okay with the FBI raiding the Clinton Foundation offices, or Hillary Clinton's campaign offices under the same circumstances? I would.
...cronies (who just happen to be left wing Hillary supporters), not political preference, per se....
Yup. And Hillary won six coin tosses in a row.
I know, I know that you libbies want Trump destroyed at all costs. This attitude that drives this denial of facts is delusional. Seriously it makes you guys look silly.
False.
False.
False.
I have posted documents and those who have protested have provided opinions.
Some here apparently think that Rosenstein authorizes search warrants, not judges. That's a basic fact about our law that your arguments ignore.
You sir, are the one who is ignoring facts.
The fact that you can't refute the facts I have presented and have resorted, yet again, to falsehoods and personal attacks shows what is really going on.
What you don't get is it is Rosenstein that had to authorize the investigation in the first place. Which at that point he had not. The other fact yall keep ignoring is that there is no existing evidence to tie Trump to an Russia collusion with regards to the election. Hence he is not the target. The Mueller investigation is wide and has no direction. Its a witch hunt nothing more, nothing less. Keep dreaming
Actually, he had authorized it in the original Special Counsel order.
Manafort was a person "associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump."
That remains to be seen. Neither you nor I know what evidence Mueller has collected.
As I pointed out previously, he is a "subject" of a criminal investigation. So, I get it. Do you?
The name of this thread is patently false. President Trump IS under criminal investigation, but he is not currently a "target" of the investigation.
Yes, it was commissioned to be a broad investigation (see the order).
It seems to be following the evidence.
If it's a witch hunt, it keeps turning up witches. One sentence, several guilty pleas, lots of indictments...
You seem to be the one who is asleep. Time to wake up.
Good luck with that.
Trump should not talk to Mueller because Mueller will immediately afterwards charge him with lying to the FBI. Mueller is no good.
Here's an idea:
Trump should not lie to the FBI.
Why is Mueller "no good" for asking President Trump questions?
If you expect the President to lie to the FBI, then it sounds like you think he is guilty of something. If he is guilty of something, shouldn't he be held accountable?
IMO it goes back to the Bill Clinton fiasco.
I thought the actions of many Republicans were disgraceful. The nation was humiliated.
Even after the smoke cleared and Bill Clinton publicly apologized to his family and the world they still wouldn't leave him alone.
It made me heart sick.
The Republicans were probably trying to get even for Nixon.
Now the Democrats are looking for revenge (IMO of course).
Mueller has a bad record. He wants to put an American General in prison for nothing. In short, he is incompetent.
Mueller is crooked. He deceives.
