Discussion: GOP Leader Sen. Cornyn Casts Doubt On Legitimacy Of Mueller Probe

Almost.

There is a method to their madness. There is a goal.

I bought it in vinyl, have it now on a CD which makes me a Luddite, but I can handle it. :laughing: .

Holder speaks for me.

By the way, is Cornyn confessing that the entire Republican Party was lying about candidate Trump? That Mitt Romney is wrong? That President George W. Bush is wrong? That President H. W. Bush is wrong?

There are laws about retaining government documents. I hope that even Beauregard would abide by them. And that there are still some career people at DOJ who would refuse to destroy records of Mueller’s investigation. Remember, too, that there are a number of FBI agents and DOJ prosecutors involved in the investigation (although Mueller has hired a number of people). They would presumably remain in government, at least for a while.

And the people that Mueller has hired would remain. It’s one thing to fire Mueller–it would be as clear an impeachable offense as you could find–but shutting it down is another matter, and firing all of those involved would be still another level of impeachable conduct.

Thanks for posting this.

One thing to be careful of here. Nooneisabovethelaw.com is an old right wing wackjob conspiracy site. Trumpisnotabovethelaw.com is using the twitter #nobodyisabovethelaw.

It’s an unfortunate similarity in my opinion. I wish they’d gone for something like #theGOPisnotabovethelaw.

Actually, the real issue here has never been that Trump and his GOP fascists want to be above the law. They want to BE the law. That’s what dictatorships do.

Never said the US Army is prosecuting anyone. I was saying that he can use our military to support extra legal moves on his. part. I have volunteered to teach reading at our local library. Maybe you can join our class.

I’m not comparing FDR to Trump, but he had to sit with our military to make contingency plans in the event we had civil unrest during the Great Depression.

Re-read what I said. Observe the \punctuation.

Cornyn will NEVER be a hero to anyone or anything. He is ALWAYS about the money and power, nothing else matters. Profits over people is what the GOP stands for.

Oh wow I was wondering when we’d hear from Max Headroom … google it

Thank goodness we will have the stalwart leaders of the Green and Libertarian parties to rescue us from treason since I just learned the Democrats aren’t going to do anything. It’s not like fighting the Republicans would guarantee massive political success so they’re just going to sit on their thumbs and we’ll have to hope for the best.

I too don’t waste my breath when I know my arguments are without merit and bordering on stupid.

We have the CD too. It is a favorite of ours for road trips. Pop it in and sing out, Almost Cut My Hair!

Dude, you really need to assess your priorities and values. To be that cynical is unhealthy. Get help.

Yes, this is a big f**king deal when GOP Senator #2 is going after Mueller & staff. You’ve got to think GOP Senator #1 McConnell is on board,too. These are indeed sad days

Good point: framing does matter (although I wish it didn’t seem to matter so much).

I like Mark Green…but I will always remember that he gave Alphonse D’Amato one of the great opportunities to perform the most insincere ethnic victim acts ever seen in US politics. Green, who is a 60’s dude, in his campaign for NY US Senate against D’Amato, called Alphonse a “Fascist.” D’Amato, who was one of the worst, most seriously scumbag politicians ever to serve in NY, went on television, and with trembling lips, pretended to be about to cry, weep, and be a total fucking martyr because Green had slurred all Italian Americans …with that well known Mussolini slur…you had to be there, but it was one of the galling moments in life…

Our second-largest state seems to have the lion’s share of complete idiots. If it turns out in Trump’s favor, that’s good- GOP lackeys will accept that! But if Mueller goes against prez Full Diaper…yeah, Cornyn is a law and order guy. Not.

Run for office- the 2018 elections are less than a year away! And if Trump and Louie Gohmert can get elected what’s to stop a qualified candidate?

Become a Precinct Committee Officer, sometimes it’s a Ward officer. You’ll meet with neighborhood Dems and get out the vote. Find good citizens willing to run for office.

Register people to vote. If you need to help people overcome the GOP-led Voter run-around help them do that.

Run for School Board. Make sure Civics is being properly taught. Think a majority of America knows how government works? Just 26% of eligible voters in America voted for Trump and half of eligible voters stayed home last November. Today’s 12-year olds will be voting for President in 8 years.

Run for Mayor, City Council, County Commissioner, Borough Assembly.

Get appointed to your Planning Commission. Know everything going on in your community.

Run for State Legislature or Congress. The next census is in 2020, just over 2 years from now, when we redraw Congressional Districts.

And get rid of GERRYMANDERING! Safe GOP seats gave us such intellectual giants as Louie Gohmert and Steve King. In most cases it’s the state Legislature that draws Congressional boundaries. Make it FAIR, OPEN and HONEST! We can do this!

Overturn Citizens United. Money is NOT speech and Corporations are NOT people- at least not until Texas executes one, and overturn any voter ID laws that are clearly an attempt to disenfranchise the poor and people of color.

You Got To Run!

Remember this Trump henchmen.

Oath of Office. Upon taking office, senators-elect must swear or affirm that they will “support and defend the Constitution.” The president of the Senate or a surrogate administers the oath to newly elected or re-elected senators.

You took an oath to uphold it not create a constitutional crisis. Stop the jibber jabber sit down and shut up and let Mueller a decorated military hero amongst many other things do his job. Or else suffer the consequences

I know it’s hard to believe, but Cornyn is my least favorite senator from Texas.
