| Trump v
Mueller: Who gets who first?
By
Dr.
Robert Owens The
recent raid by the Robert Mueller’s witch hunters on
President Trump’s
lawyer’s offices shows that we are nearing the third act.
The ever expanding search for a crime is
reportedly now looking
into a campaign donation that was made by a pro-Russian Ukrainian
oligarch to
the Trump Foundation in September 2015. The
donation was reportedly made after then-candidate
Donald Trump gave
a 20-minute speech at a European conference that promoted closer ties
between
Ukraine and the West. Let’s
see Hillary and the Clinton Crime Family get a pass for running a
pay-to-play
scam out of Foggy Bottom but the Persecutor-in-Chief has to take a
microscope
to this one donation. Sounds like the
creature from the Black Lagoon is alive and well in the Washington
swamp. Leading
constitutional lawyer and longtime Harvard professor Alan Dershowitz,
in what
he considers "a very serious escalation" of the special investigation
into Russian interference of the 2016 election, called
the FBI's raid of the offices of President Donald Trump's longtime
personal
attorney Michael Cohen on Monday "a shocking and disturbing
development." He added the development
"should shock
everybody, no matter what part of the partisan divide you're on." According
to Dershowitz, "This is a very dangerous day today for lawyer-client
relations." "If this were
Hillary Clinton being investigated and they went into her lawyer's
office, the
ACLU would be on every television station in America, jumping up and
down," he
added. "The deafening silence
from the ACLU and civil libertarians about the intrusion into the
lawyer-client
confidentiality is really appalling," Dershowitz said. Dershowitz recommended that Trump make a
motion in court to take Cohen's materials away from the FBI and make a
judge
decide what evidence can be used and which cannot. What
do some of the President’s allies have to say? “Time
to fire the FBI Director,�? a sometime Trump adviser, Roger Stone, said
in a
tweet. Other
allies suggested that the Mueller investigation has become
undisciplined or
even criminal. “It’s
clear Mr. Mueller’s operation has nothing do with fair enforcement of
the law
or equal justice,�? Joseph diGenova, a Washington lawyer who agreed to
join the
president’s legal team last month before potential conflicts of
interest
prevented his hiring, said in an appearance on Fox Business Network.
“It is
basically a bunch of mobsters.�? Congress,
he said, should impeach Rosenstein for not complying with an August
2017
subpoena seeking records related to the origin of the investigation
into
possible collusion between Trump’s campaign and Russia. New
York Post writer Michael Goodwin has some things to say
about the Mueller witch hunt. "The
violent swings of the leaky pendulum make this an excellent moment to
call
timeout on the Mueller probe. What does he have, where is he going and
when is
he going to get there?" "Those
are basic questions that need to be answered. The American people
deserve facts
instead of waters muddied by partisanship, innuendo and special access
to
biased big-media companies." "Given the
stakes, the public has a right to know at this
point
what it all adds up to. If Mueller won't speak for himself, his
handler, Rod
Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general who created Mueller, should
speak for
him." "The endless leaks are
the final straw. The Mueller probe is
the most important investigation in a generation and is casting a cloud
over a
presidency. If this were a probe
involving a third-level bureaucrat, assassination-by-leak would be
distasteful
but not as meaningful. But this is the
presidency, and even Trump haters should be appalled at the shoddy
process." Lou
Dobbs said,
"We're witnessing an orchestrated assault on the President of the
United
States," And
conservative watchdog Judicial Watch official Tom Fitton on Monday
night blasted
the Department of Justice as "out of control," and suggested special
counsel Robert Mueller's investigation "ought to be shut down." What
do the Democrats have to say? “If
the president is thinking of using this raid to fire Special Counsel
Mueller or
otherwise interfere with the chain of command in the Russia probe, we
Democrats
have one simple message for him: don’t," the Senate Minority Leader
Chuck
Schumer of New York said in a statement. And
what does President Trump have to
say about all this? "These
people have the biggest conflicts of interest I have ever seen.
Democrats --
all. Either Democrats or a couple of Republicans who worked for
President
Obama," Trump said of the FBI investigators. "They're not looking at
the other side -- Hillary Clinton... all of the crimes that were
committed, all
of the things that happened that everybody is very angry about from the
Republican side and the independent side.�? "When
I saw this, when I heard about it, that is a whole new level of
unfairness." "They
found no collusion what so ever with Russia." "I've
wanted to keep it down. I've given over a million pages in documents to
the
special counsel. They continue to just go forward and here we are
talking about
Syria, we're talking about a lot of serious things... and I have this
witch
hunt constantly going on for over 12 months now," Trump said.
"Actually it's much more than that. You could say right after I won the
nomination it started." Or
as
he tweeted this morning, “Attorney–client privilege is dead!�? And
what about those of us out here in fly-over country who voted for and
still
support our president? I
think what we need now is a private meeting between the President and
the
Rosenstein-Mueller Cabal where Mr. Trump uses one of his best catch phrases,
“You’re fired!�? Let
the chips fall where they may.
There
is a silent coup in progress waged by the government party against a
duly
elected president. If the creature from
the Black Lagoon can manage to lead the denizens of the swamp in
overthrowing
the man we elected to drain the swamp. The
lie will have been exposed America has become a
functioning
oligarchy disguised as a nonfunctioning democratic republic.
