So will liberals fall for the spin?

En-masse the Democrats and liberal press are demanding that everything associated with the Mueller report be turned over. Short of that, Democrats are going to kick and scream and demand it's all unfair and not to be trusted.

The reality is that if the Democrats were confident in the results of this investigation, then they would have no reason to fear a report that provides the general conclusions. The fact is that they are expecting a report that does not confirm what they have suggested it would...

So they are looking to discredit it.

Make no mistake here folks, this is spin,  plain and simple. I predict that Democrats will work to discredit and their faithful followers will parrot all of this over and over. I would also suggest that before the end of all of this William Barr (and to some degree even Robert Mueller) will become enemies of the Democrats.

The reality (and this is something every politician smarter than Ocasio-Cortez understands) is that there are many things within any DOJ criminal investigation that are never released to the public. Not at anytime, and not for any reasons. It would be a law enforcement first to break some of these regulations.
  • Grand jury testimony is sealed. Period.
  • Classified information will be redacted. Period.
  • Executive privilege will be redacted. Period. 
This is common sense 101.  It doesn't matter if Democrats want to release this information. It doesn't matter if the Presidents wants to release this information (other than executive privilege which he can waive). It certainly doesn't matter how the subject "polls" with Americans. None of this information will be released.

Now where there may be some leeway is in regards to the longstanding DOJ and Law Enforcement policies, rules, and regulations that suggest that if you want to attack a person for their behavior, that the place to do so is in court, and only in court. The rule is that if you are not doing to indict them, then you are not allowed to release investigative information to the general public. This is a rule, because using law enforcement to attack a person publicly is a sure fire violation of that person's constitutional rights.

Obviously James Comey got himself in a whole lot of heat for doing exactly this with the Hillary Clinton situation. By all accounts Comey needed to piss or get off the pot. He needed to indict and charge or shut the hell up. He played the middle and was correctly criticized. The only reason I believe that Clinton (and others) did not make a bigger deal out of it, was the simple reason that everyone instinctively knew that she was being let off the legal hook. Why look a gift horse in the mouth.

But this is not a precedent that should become a new norm. Mueller provides his reasoning for why someone was "not" indicted to his superior. That superior is technically required to keep those decisions private. Barr will be under pressure to tell us if the President committed any acts that would be unethical or otherwise politically damaging, even if those actions were not criminal. Technically he shouldn't. Perhaps he makes an exception because of the extraordinary situation of Trump being President.

But what about other actions by other players? How far is Barr willing to go in exposing information that by all rules, regulations, procedures, and constitutional reasoning should be held confidential? Are Trump's children subject to the "Comey Clinton rule"? Would other aides be subject to this? At what point would we allow an investigator in any other situation behave in a manner that would likely get them fired if they did it anywhere else?

Bottom line:  This is all spin and all an attempt to discredit a report that Democrats are pretty sure is going to be disappointing to them. The question is what percentage of their "faithful" will fall for it? I would offer 100% of those who participate in this forum.

(Speaking of those who participate in this forum. Can we expect to hear from W.P. who promised he would come back and gloat when Mueller charged Trump associates with criminal conspiracy?)

"MATTHEWS: “Why was there never an interrogation of this president? We were told for weeks by experts you cannot deal with an obstruction of justice charge or investigation without getting to motive. You don’t get to motive until you hear from the person himself who’s being targeted… How can they let Trump off the hook? So far tonight, we have no reason to believe Trump is going to be charged by rhetoric in the document itself, in the Mueller report, he will not be charged with obstruction or of collusion, without ever having to sit down with the special counsel and answer his damn questions. How can that happen?”

Trump doesn't "have to" tweet right now. If the news was going to be a problem, then he would have spent the entire day on Twitter.

We both know this...

At this point, he is (smartly) just letting the letter and news that nobody is being indicted for criminal collusion speak for itself.

Techno Fog said...

‏@Techno_Fog

The real question moving forward is WHEN the Special Counsel knew there was no collusion.

(Hint: the fact that they didn't subpoena Trump gives a clue that they knew before the midterms)

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

*Will not be charged with obstruction or of collusion?

* Why wasn't demanded to sit down with the special counsel and answer his questions?

My guess is that when Muller asked him if he would testify under oath, his attorney told him that he would plead the fifth amendment. This obviously isn't a crime. But if this is what happened, the house Judiciary committee will hold hearings on the impeachment charges of high crimes and misdemeanors.

So rogers theory is that the president acted alone and therefore no one else was indicted.

C.H. Truth said...

It's virtually impossible that Trump could have "colluded" with Russians all by himself. Others would have been involved and nobody other than the President is immune from indictment. There was no criminal collusion. That is a fact.

Short of Mueller finding something very specific and irrefutable in terms of obstruction, there is nothing Mueller could possibly bring up in his report that would rise to the level of suggesting the President broke the law.

Also, pretty much ever legal analyst worth his salt will tell you that you cannot charge someone would the sort of obstruction without intent and you cannot garner intent without actually talking to Trump.

So short of obvious witness tampering or destruction of evidence, there is no chance that Mueller can actually suggest obstruction with "any" sort of credibility.

There is no question that Russia attempted to stir discourse in our election. But quite obviously the Steele Report provided by Russians was not information intended to "elect" Donald Trump.

A fraternity at the University of Georgia has been suspended after members were seen using racial slurs in a video circulated on social media, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

The video depicts one student playfully slapping another member of the fraternity with a belt. He tells the student, “Pick my cotton, [b*tch.]” Another member, who is filming the incident, can be heard saying, “You’re not saying the right word.” The main student then responds, “Pick my cotton, [N-word.]”

UGA’s Student Government Association, in a letter to the student body released on Friday, read, “The executive officers of the Student Government Association are aware of a video circulating on social media that depicts individuals identified as members of a UGA Greek organization using racist language and engaging in behaviors that mock the suffering of enslaved peoples. We have been notified that the chapter is currently suspended, and we can confirm that there is an investigation underway regarding the students involved in the video.”

Twitter users identified the fraternity as Tau Kappa Epsilon.

Tau Kappa Epsilon released the following statement regarding the incident: “Tau Kappa Epsilon is disgusted, appalled and angered by the remarks shown in the video. TKE does not condone or support any actions by its members that would be defined as racist, discriminatory, and/or offensive. Since 1899, our fraternity has taken much pride in the diversity and uniqueness of our membership. Tau Kappa Epsilon has never had an exclusionary clause in our membership. Our founders believed, as we do today, in the personal worth and character of the individual, not his wealth, rank, or honor.”

TKE went on to say that the four students were removed from both their membership and their chapter.

"Ardern does plan to ban "high-capacity magazines," meaning those holding more than five rounds. There will be an exception for magazines holding up to 10 rounds of .22-caliber or smaller rimfire ammunition.

Ardern also intends to "ban all military-style semi-automatic weapons" (MSSAs), which under current law include semi-automatic rifles that have pistol grips, folding or telescoping stocks, bayonet lugs, flash suppressors, internal magazines holding more than seven rounds, or detachable magazines that have "the appearance of holding more than 10 cartridges" (15 for .22-caliber rimfire ammunition). MSSAs already require a special license. Ardern wants to make them entirely illegal, and that includes firearms currently owned by license holders, who will be required to surrender them. They are supposed to receive compensation, but this "buyback" won't be optional."

The facts do not support your post.....

The New Zealand officials estimate that the total number of firearms in the country is between 1.2 million and 1.5 million.
The law is expected to be introduced in Parliament at the beginning of next month. The government is seeking to prevent the stockpiling of firearms by making it illegal to possess the banned weapons as of Thursday.
The ban covers firearms considered to be military-style semi-automatics and assault rifles, particularly semi-automatic firearms and shotguns capable of being used with a detachable magazine that hold more than five cartridges.
https://www.foxbusiness.com/features/new-zealand-firearm-ban-which-guns-are-permitted

However, other guns that serve a “legitimate” purpose will be exempt.

Those include .22-caliber rifles that hold no more than 10 rounds and semi-automatic and pump action shotguns with a non-detachable tubular magazine that hold no more than five rounds.
The government noted that these weapons can be used for hunting, pest control, farm use and duck shooting. Police and military members will also have exemptions.

I second the NYT's opinion.....the lady has a bigger set than the goat fucker, menstral and trump combined.....sure wish she ran the US!!!

9;s mass shooting as the U
The New York Times editorial board praised New Zealand’s crackdown on military-style weapons after last week’s mass shooting as the U.S. neglects to take such action after dozens of them.

On Thursday, in an op-ed titled “America Deserves a Leader as Good as Jacinda Ardern,” the board applauded the New Zealand prime minister’s ban on the guns in the wake of the attack on two Christchurch mosques in which 50 people were killed.

“That attitude stood in stark contrast to the way the National Rifle Association and its political allies in the United States have resisted any restrictions on weapons like the AR-15, the semiautomatic rifle used in several mass killings,” the Times board wrote, denouncing U.S. politicians’ ties to the gun lobby.

Ardern made the policy announcement on Thursday, only six days after the massacre, which was allegedly perpetrated by a white supremacist who espoused hatred for Muslim immigrants.

“Every semiautomatic weapon used in the terrorist attack on Friday will be banned,” she said in a press conference.

The board said Ardern’s swift move was the right one, calling on world leaders to “unite in clearly condemning racism, sharing in the grief of the victims and stripping the haters of their weapons.”

“Ms. Ardern has shown the way.”

Though the number of mass shootings in the U.S. varies depending on how you count, a Mother Jones analysis released in February identified 111 cases since 1982. The most recent was at a Henry Pratt Co. plant in Aurora, Illinois, where five people were killed last month. It was the third this year and the 15th since the start of 2018, according to the outlet.

Many of the shootings involved assault rifles.

Still, President Donald Trump has shown no interest in an overhaul of gun laws, aside from his support for a ban on bump stocks, which enable shooters to fire semiautomatic weapons at a faster rate.

Last month, the House passed a universal background checks bill, but it likely won’t receive enough votes in the Senate.
