If only Nancy would let youâŚ
Well, yes. Something about Muellerâs resignation and the formal closing of the special counselâs office.
And thereâs that not-very-far-below-the-surface hint that if he could have indicted the bastard, Mueller would have.
Well hop to it!
Please, please, Congress take over. It will happen. Itâs been building and now, what choice do they have? They cannot let this go under any circumstances or the Dems along with the Rethugs would be doomed.
That statement is what they are going to be sending to any courts that question subpoenas, and they can point to Muellerâs statement as the reason why they have to be able to investigate beyond what the DoJ can do. Itâs obvious of course, and BS to argue that Congress requires a legislative intent to do anything, but this really makes the case crystal clear. And it should also make it clear politicallyâŚmakes you wonder if there was some discussion about this beforehand, since Nadlerâs statement came out so quickly.
gosh! another sternly worded letter, saying absolutely nothing.
Iâm sure that Trump is quivering in fear â or shaking with laughter. Probably the latter.
Please proceedâŚ
not in terms of precedent regarding executive privilege, it doesnât.
The statement is worthless. It doensât advance the arguments in the âeasyâ cases (Mazars, Deutsche Bank, taxes) or the hard ones (executive privilege, access to grand jury materials, etc).
ETA
Here is a crucial excerpt from the âFast and Furiousâ case that allowed the House to gain access to privileged documents despite âexecutive privilegeâ claimsâŚ
Therefore, the Court finds, under the unique and limited circumstances of this case, that the qualified privilege must yield, given the executiveâs acknowledgment of the legitimacy of the investigation, and the fact that the Department itself has already publicly revealed the sum and substance of the very material it is now seeking to withhold. Since any harm that would flow from the disclosures sought here would be merely incremental, the records must be produced. The Court emphasizes that this ruling is not predicated upon a finding of wrongdoing.
in other words, the first âspecial circumstanceâ is decidedly NOT met â unlike in the Fast and Furious case, Trump is saying the investigation is illegitimate.
the second special circumstance could be read either way â and Trump will argue that the stuff it wants to âwithholdâ is the stuff whose âsum and substanceâ have not yet been revealed.
Green light.
Donât you feel happy?? YeahâŚI know the boo birds are circlingâŚlet me repeat something I hinted on another thread.
Mueller dealt us a hand.
If Trump were a Dem POTUS, the GOP, with this hand, would have him out of office in 6 months.
Maybe lessâŚ
Why did Mueller say he thinks the DOJ âno charging the presidentâ regulation is unconstitutional. That seems pretty significant.
We can start by letting the appeals process for the DB records proceed. Even though the judge said no need!
WEAK TEA
At the very least they would try, which is why I always say that the trouble with Democrats is that when they have power they refuse to use it. The opposite is true for RepublicanâtsâŚ
Hopefully they have enough evidence and not spend the next year and half gathering it.
Doesnât this all feel a little coordinated? The momentum to impeach is growing so intensely, the pressure is growing so great, that it all feels a little intentional.
I have to say, Rep Nadler looks exceptionally bright-eyed in that photo â letâs hope heâs as eager as he seems here.
Waiting for the other (high-heeled) shoe to drop! Madam Speaker?
Given that Special Counsel Mueller was unable to pursue criminal charges against the President, it falls to Congress to respond to the crimes, lies and other wrongdoing of President Trump â and we will do so. No one, not even the President of the United States, is above the law.â
FUCK!!! YEAH!!!
BRAVO, Rep. Nadler! Bravo!
