Mueller opens multiple investigations

On Friday, Special Counsel Robert Mueller shopped for a Washington grand jury in the Russian election influence investigation. USA Today reports that Mueller has enlisted multiple grand juries.

Mueller has at least two grand juries going, one in Virginia, the Flynn jury, and one in D.C. where only 4% of the voters cast a ballot for Donald Trump.

USA Today reported that Mueller’s team is investigating possible obstruction of justice related to the president’s abrupt May 9 dismissal of FBI Director James Comey, and former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn’s contacts with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak — all of which occurred in the District of Columbia.

Liberal lawyer Alan Dershowitz said Mueller’s interest in the D.C. court is a bad sign for Trump.

Dershowitz spoke with WABC Radio host Rita Cosby and was asked about the existence of a second grand jury in the Department of Justice’s Russia investigation.

“The second one is important because of where it is. It gives the prosecutor the power to indict in the District of Columbia, which is a district that is heavily Democratic, and would have a jury pool very unfavorable to Trump and the Trump administration,” Dershowitz said.

“So it gives the prosecutor a tremendous tactical advantage. If he wants to bring a case against anybody in the administration, the case now can be brought not in Northern Virginia, which is a swing area, sometimes Democrat, sometimes Republican, but the District of Columbia, which is always solidly Democratic and has an ethnic and racial composition that might be very unfavorable to the Trump administration.”

Dershowitz was asked if it stacked the deck and Dershowitz said absolutely.

“Yes. Yes, I do,” Dershowitz said. “I think it’s a tactical move designed to send a message that if the prosecutor decides to prosecute, he will have a real advantage with the jury pool where the case will be held, provided there is jurisdiction in the District of Columbia, and there would be generally jurisdiction almost anywhere.”

Charles Krauthammer, writer, commentator, Pulitzer Prize winner, “worries for this country”. He sees the U.S. heading for a cliff.

He said: “…the Russia thing obviously is a pretext, and it’s going to be a subject of the investigation. But it appears to be going into the territory that Trump has wanted to protect, namely his business. At some point, we could come to a crisis. And I worry for the country because this is not good that the presidency, the judiciary, and Congress would be at loggerheads when you really don’t have anybody that ultimately would adjudicate. It would be the Supreme Court but we know that can cause real reverberations for decades.”

With all the republicans that supported hillary during the campaign and all the rhinos openly against him now im not so sure Sessions wasnt a plant. Why would Trump openly disrespect his own AG? Maybe he found a reason? Now we have McMaster getting rid of Trump loyalists? McMaster allowed Susan Rice to maintain her security clearance? It appears the DC establishment has closed ranks on Mr Trump. God help him.

There are lots of valid reasons behind your suspicions.

The Media and several politicians have praised Robert Mueller as a man of honesty, dedication and integrity, well the country of Iceland doesn’t think he is too honest………Robert Mueller sent a planeload of eight FBI agents to Iceland to frame Julian Assange in 2011, Iceland kicked the FBI out of the country after learning that Robert Mueller, then the FBI Director, lied to them about the purpose of their visit and were only there to gather information about WikiLeaks.Ogmundur Jonasson, Iceland’s former minister of the interior, says he received an urgent message from Robert Mueller in the United States saying that “there was an imminent attack on Icelandic government databases” by hackersHowever upon their arrival it became apparent that there was no imminent attack and that Robert Mueller’s FBI agents were only there to secretly gather intelligence on WikiLeaks and Julian Assange……………honesty, dedication and integrity just went out the door, Trump has every right not to trust this guy!!!!!!!

Fire Roenstein and put Gowdy in place so he can prosecute Muller and Comey etc for collusion.. since Sessions recused himself. Go for their jugular. It’s Trumps prerogative to fire anyone in his administration. Rosenstein was in the Obama administration and was appointed at Sessions request, a stupid move. I have to wonder if if AG pure heart was in on this farce all along and what dirt the the democrats/ Hillary has on him.

You are quoting a FAKE Julian Assange account. Notice how Assange is spelled with a “j”. There are several fake Julian Assange accounts on twitter. Be sure to double check when researching. Cheers
