Discussion: Dowd Blasts Mueller After Release Of His Obstruction-y Voicemail To Flynn Lawyer

Whatcha so nervous about, Counselor?

Maybe the part of someone being so idiotic as to leave this bigly incriminating message on voicemail?

OT, but 11 dead in yet another NRA-sponsored mass shooting in Virginia.

I want to scream. These people went to work and were probably getting ready for the weekend. They are dead.

“John Dowd accused special counsel Robert Mueller of seeking to “smear
and damage the reputation of counsel and innocent people” in how he
characterized an infamous Dowd voicemail and other conduct…”

John Dowd’s reputation was irredeemably damaged and smeared the moment he (and any other ‘innocent people’) agreed to work for or associate himself/themselves with Donald Trump.

Sorry Johnny, if you were stupid enough and morally bankrupt or ungrounded enough to not see the disastrous multi-headed Hydra that now sits in the Oval Office, a year and longer before being elected, and not know to avoid it like an Ebola outbreak, as most sane and ethical lawyers I know would, then you made your own bed. Sleep in it. I hope the money and fame were good. Be glad you likely won’t go to jail anyway–since you at least have appeared to tell the truth to Mueller.

But you have earned every bit of derision you will get, from left and right, as you carry the Trump scarlet letter with you around your neck for the rest of your mortal life–probably staining your family’s for theirs as well. You will get to be remembered in 50 years in the way that we still remember a few other Johns: i.e., John Mitchell, John Ehrlichman, John Dean…

I still wonder what the judge is going to do about the other documents he wanted and the DOJ refused to hand over. I could care less what Dowd has to say.
We have the DOJ breaking the law and our focus is on Dowds cry, and Trumps cry, or Grahms cry, or ect. cry.

Again no refutation on the facts of the case or the evidence … just attacks on Mueller and the investigators and Deep State blah blah blah

I think it is easy for us to overlook, and certainly for the general population, how much was going on in these joint defense agreements. Chump and just about every bad actor that came on the scene in the Mueller report were sharing all their legal information and back door scheming and dirty tricks for months and months and months while these investigations wore on.

Team Trump is in the Rule or Ruin mode.

Can Team Trump corrupt enough people in the right places?
Can the American people who are still distracted really grasp the danger they are in?
Can the Democrats avoid Making the Perfect the Enemy of the Good?

So, Dowd is basically admitting that he got caught, but wants to distract us with a shiny object and lots of noise.

Mr. Mueller. do the words ‘you’re not being a good sport’ mean anything to you?

The press has dutifully expanded upon the 2 rebuttals to mueller’s statement from trump’s main mouthpieces Barr and Dowd. These heavy-handed propaganda statements are not countered by anyone on our side, and if there were a rebuttal we could rally around, it would not be covered in equivalent breathless presentation. Cable media again is complicit in this entire trumpist outrage. I’m looking at you tweety bird Chris Matthews and your fellow hagiographers…the keepers of the 24 hour empty podium show. Chumps.

Dowd: Gets caught. Is exposed. Lashes out. Sounds Trumpian to me…

I was touched by Dowd’s patriotic concern for the national security implications of Flynn telling the truth about what Trump’s involvement was. Very, uh, high-minded of him.

Post script to my last post:

If the American people really grasped the danger they are in, Trump would have already been in custody.

We are now openly contemplating a scenario in which Trump will have not been brought to justice by the time the 2020 campaign goes into full swing.

That will have been a gross failure on the part of our System of Justice.

To go into an election under those circumstances, with the knowledge that the Russians will meddle in THESE elections also, and with this being ONE SHOT at resisting dictatorship…THAT is a malpractice of the Executive, Congressional and Judicial branches of government at the highest levels.

The mind reels to find an apt metaphor…and, to be honest, there isn’t any.

We may well go into a rigged election in 2020…and it certainly will be the dirtiest.
