"Show me the man and I will show you the crime" ~ Lavrentiy BeriaTime to fire the "Special Counsel and Asst. FBI Director. It has now become D.C. versus Trump. They are dangerous with no sense for justice.
What are the press and Dems going to do, Treat Trump any more miserably than they already are? m/r
Robert Mueller Adopts Stalinist Tactics
We
may be thankful to Alan Dershowitz, Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law,
Emeritus, at Harvard Law School, for reminding us of the delicious
irony of an investigation which began with “reports” of collusion with
the Russians by Team Trump and charges of Russian hacking of our
elections, now reverting to the tactics of Russia’s most murderous
tyrant, Josef Stalin. As Dershowitz writes in the Washington Examiner:
Indeed,
now we here reports that Mueller’s investigation will range anywhere
from Jared Kutchner’s finances to perhaps any unpaid parking tickets
Sean Spicer may have. To paraphrase the boast of head of Stalin’s secret
police, show Mueller the man, and he will find a crime, just as
Mueller’s best friend, James Comey, found with Martha Stewart.Special counsel Robert Mueller was commissioned to investigate not only crime but the entire Russian "matter." That is an ominous development that endangers the civil liberties of all Americans.
Federal prosecutors generally begin by identifying specific crimes that may have been committed -- in this case, violation of federal statutes. But no one has yet identified the specific statute or statutes that constrain Mueller's investigation of the Russian matter. It is not a violation of any federal law for a campaign to have collaborated with a foreign government to help elect their candidate…
One does not have to go back to the Soviet Union and Lavrentiy Beria's infamous boast to Stalin, "Show me the man and I will show you the crime," in order to be concerned about the expansion of elastic criminal statutes. There are enough examples of abuse in our own history.
From McCarthyism to the failed prosecutions of Sen. Ted Stevens, Rep. Thomas DeLay, Gov. Rick Perry and others, we have seen vague criminal statutes stretched in an effort to criminalize political differences.
