When The FBI Does It, That Means That It’s Not Illegal

Drain The Swamp Russiagate 36 Comments

There’s a new sheriff in town.

A top Republican investigator said accountability is coming for any of those individuals who may have committed crimes during the Trump-Russia investigation.
 
With the Justice Department conducting a review of that operation, Rep. John Ratcliffe said during a Fox News interview Sunday that he trusts Attorney General William Barr and Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz to provide answers.
 
And while Ratcliffe said he does not want to prematurely accuse any specific person of a crime — as Democrats have done with President Trump — he stressed that it is clear crimes were committed by people during the Obama administration, including government officials.

  1. President Trump is like the former sheriff played by Gary Cooper in High Noon. He is facing down the criminals who populate DC alone, and the republicans are the cowardly residents of the town who abandoned him to face the outlaws alone.

    1. Beautiful!

      Time to write Volume 3 of the Mueller, err Andrew Weismann Report. And then have John Ratcliffe READ it to Congress … whilst CNN are filming HER door being broken down in Chappaqua NY … and being wheeled out of HER mansion in a cart, with oxygen tank and mask. On HER way to Sing Sing.

      And then CPS shows up at Chelsea Clinton’s NYC Penthouse and cuffs her for money laundering via the Clinton Foundation … and places her children in protective custody

      BillyBob will have already done a Robin Williams after the evidence of his raping underage girls comes into full light during the Jeffery Epstein trial.

        1. Where do you think that “princess” got her early training?
          If anyone is unaware, she is the offspring of the ones that ran bodymore a few decades back. Check out the relationships of her family in kalypornia for the “rest of the story”.

      2. It makes Rat Nadler’s flubbering nonsense that much more hilarious. Same goes for Schiftless and Swallowell. But idiot Californians.

        That I may continue to draw oxygen, that my eyes continue to remain clear, that my hearing remains unimpaired & to be able to watch that processions of events…??

        DAMN, Now that would be a VERy VERy good day.

    2. What’s good for the goose…

      Start by going after Chelsea…..
      I want the “waterboarding” to be long and drawn out……

  3. Talk is cheap. I want to see indictments, perp walks and convictions with heavy time attached.

    1. ” indictments, perp walks and convictions”

      Ain’t gonna happen.
      Jury Nullification
      Jury nullification (US) or a perverse verdict (UK) generally occurs when members of a criminal trial jury believe that a defendant is guilty, but choose to acquit them anyway because the jurors also believe that the law itself is unjust, that the prosecutor has misapplied the law in the defendant’s case, or that the potential punishment for breaking the law is too harsh.
      Some juries have also refused to convict due to their own prejudices in favour of the defendant. ~wiki(my emphasis)

      America is still the land of fair trials. All it takes is one Leftwing nutbar on a jury and Pfft!, no conviction.
      Do you really think that today’s America will not have even one 1 out of 12 who voted for Hillary Clinton sitting on the jury?

          1. It’s in the US Judicial code, military trials.

            One day soon, Comey will just disappear, then it will be Clapper, and Brennan, he will miss his CNN appt mysteriously, and so on and so on.

            And then TRUMP will be criticized again for being a military fascist dictator.

            Be ready, the perps are know. PANIC in DC
            Patriots
            Are
            Now

          3. The clue was given during Kavenaugh’s confirmation.
            Graham asked about a body of law called Military Justice.
            Came into play after Congress approved the use of military force….post 911.
            I BOLTED UPRIGHT when I heard this….
            A whole new universe of regulation…. including NO APPEALS.

            pain …..is coming.

          5. Oz

            I miss things going on as well so your not alone….

            Life gets in the way but like Kate and others here say that’s actually a good thing.

            And I agree

            Cheers

          6. Who is subject the the Uniform Code of Military Justice?(can be tried by a military court) search if you want
            1 – Active Duty Military (including newly sworn in trainees)
            2 – Cadets and Midshipmen in officer training programs (OCS, ROTC, Service Academies)
            3 – Military Reservist and National Guard
            4 – Retirees
            5 – Members of Fleet Reserve / USMC Fleet Reserves
            6 – Persons in military jail serving a sentence from Court Martial
            7 – Members of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Public Health Service
            8 – Prisoners of War in US Custody
            9 – Persons accompanying military (contractors / DOD civilian personnel) overseas outside of the United States and Territories.
            https://www.thebalancecareers.com/uniform-code-of-military-justice-ucmj-3354207

            None of the people we are talking about above, FBI, CIA, NSA, Justice Department personnel in general, civilian politicians, NONE of these people are subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice because they do not fit the legal criteria.
            If you are pining for these Civilians to be tried by a military court, you will be sadly disappointed. It will not happen.

          7. Similar to the Q. R. & R’s…..Canadian Military Code (aka the Queens Rules & Regulations).

            That which should be used to Arrest, Convict & Sentence Trudeau & his cohorts, Butts, Telford et all.

            ….on Charges of TREASON.

          8. Ah yes the POTUS starts just indiscreetly disappearing his political enemies, what could possibly go wrong?

          9. Authorization for Use of Military Force 2001

            Authorization for Use of Military Force, Pub. L. No. 107-40, 115 Stat. 224 (2001)

            The Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF), Pub. L. No. 107-40, 115 Stat. 224 (2001), enacted shortly after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, constitutes the main source of congressional authorization for the war on terror. The AUMF grants the President the authority to use all “necessary and appropriate force” against those whom he determines “planned, authorized, committed or aided” the September 11th attacks, or who harbored those persons or groups.

            Major Provisions

            The AUMF beings with a preamble, which emphasizes the “acts of treacherous violence” committed on September 11, the “continue[d] . . . unusual and extraordinary threat” posed by such terrorism, and the President’s “authority under the Constitution to take action to deter and prevent acts of international terrorism against the United States.”

            Section 2(a) contains the AUMF’s main grant of authority:

            [T]he President is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons, in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States by such nations, organizations or persons.

            Section 2(b) provides that the AUMF satisfies the requirement under § 5(b) of the War Powers Resolutions for a specific statutory authorization while at the same time leaving the War Powers Resolution unaltered.

            The Role of the AUMF

            In Hamdi v. Rumsfeld, the Court decided that detention of enemy combatants for the duration of hostilities is an exercise of “necessary and appropriate force” that Congress authorized the president to use under the AUMF. After Hamdi, the AUMF became the main source of presidential authority to detain enemy combatants in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

            War Powers Resolution Law and Legal Definition

            The War Powers Resolution of 1973 is a federal law introduced to check the power of the President in committing the U.S. to an armed conflict without the consent of Congress.

            The resolution made Congress not only the sole authority to declare war, but to initiate any kind of offensive operations, big and small. The president’s initiative to defensive war was limited for the purpose of repelling sudden attacks.

            The resolution established:

            1. the principle of collective decision making;

            2. the concept of shared power in foreign affairs; and

            3. the democratic ideal that war power is placed with the legislative branch, which is the branch closest to the people.

            The effect of the resolution is that the President can send the U.S. forces into action abroad only by authorization of Congress or in case of a national emergency created by attack upon the U.S., its territories or possessions, or its armed forces.

          11. From U.S. Constitution: “Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason *unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.*”
            Very precise language, therefore almost no one has been convicted of treason in U.S. history. Almost.

            -Julius and Ethel Rosenberg: Part of spy ring which passed secrets of the atomic bomb to Stalin’s USSR. Tried by civilian court, convicted of conspiracy to commit espionage. Executed.
            -John Walker Lindh: Fought for the Taliban against U.S. forces in Afghanistan, probably the only American who knew in advance of September 11 2001attack that something terrible was going to happen. Tried by civilian court.
            -Christopher John Boyce: Former American defense industry employee who was convicted for selling United States spy satellite secrets to the Soviet Union in the 1970s. Espionage. Tried by civilian court.
            -Mildred Gillars: American actress who did German propaganda radio broadcasts for the Nazis during WWII. Arrested and convicted of treason in a civilian court after the war. Sentenced to 12 years in prison.

            -Mary Elizabeth Jenkins Surratt: Boarding house owner who rented a room out to John Wilkes Booth. It was believed by a Military Court that she knew of Booth’s plan to assassinate the President.
            She was the first and only civilian woman to be executed for treason in the U.S. Such a trial by Military Court couldn’t happen today, the Uniform Code of Military Justice did not exist in the 19th century.
            This poor woman couldn’t be convicted today on virtually zero evidence.

            If any of you can show any example of a Civilian American citizen being tried by a Military Court under the Uniform Code of Military Justice since it was passed by Congress on 5 May 1950, and signed into law by President Harry Truman(taking effect on 31 May 1951), then I’m willing to entertain your fantasies about Hillary Clinton and her co-conspirators being tried by a military court. Until then, you people are just dreaming.

        2. Oz:
          What I got out of it, was the USA is at war.
          So aiding the enemy comes into play.
          But we will see.

      2. “All it takes is one Leftwing nutbar on a jury and Pfft!, no conviction.”

        A DC jury, if average, would be about 45% white. The Republican received 4.24% and the Democrat 87.04% of the vote in 2018. Good luck convicting Democrats. Military tribunal and firing squad is the answer.

    2. I firmly believe you will see some public hangings for treason.

      That’s why it’s so imperative that Trump wins in 2020 To Keep America Great

      1. No, surprising if it goes that far. Life in GITMO seems the likely outcome.

        Trump will show mercy on the evil bstards.

        1. There you go again Dan

          Btw there will be hangings to let the evils ones left to know their future just in case they think they can get away with it

          It has to be done

          Cheers bud

          May they rot in hell…

  4. Is this the same Horowitz that saw no political bias in the emails exchanged by Strzok and Page? That Horowitz? Is it the same Horowitz that didn’t even mention the immunity deal given to aids of Hillary Clinton for every single destroyed email while simultaneously keeping those emails outside the FOIA (by contractual agreement)? That Horowitz?

    And, who is going to prosecute these future indictments? Jessica Lieu won’t. She might offer up a slight wrist slap in a Plea Deal. But, she’s not going to level the proper charges. Is Barr going to have to step in and indict these people himself while circumventing his own employee? I doubt it. That’s a media field day.

    Big fat nada. Black is white, men are women, gun free zones are safe, and the Department of Justice serves up injustice as an entre.

    1. Bahunbug

      Just because you are negative towards what will happen doesn’t mean we all need to lose hope.

      The pendulum swung way to far in the corrupt left corner.

      There is God and Gods will, will be done on earth as in heaven.

      Have Faith

    1. Congratulations, you’ve finally made a prediction that has a chance to come true.

  7. The American soap opera carries on,and the people love it.America has become a reality show,and the penalties are just as stiff as on those reality shows.

    It’s all about appearances, now the Trump side and his Republican never-Trumpers can carry this on to 2020, just in time for the election. Then the deeeeep state will find another excuse and we’ll have more bullshit investigations that go nowhere. We are being played like the fans of those afternoon soap operas, hanging on every word and getting our cheap thrills with promises of “Justice”.

    I’ll believe it when and IF I see it. Not f***ing likely.
