FUCK YEAH

(34,661 posts)Conspiracy Cases go south in the last couple of years due to technical issues,like not giving the defense a piece of info or a video. Bundy Land take over cases are the examples.

(34,661 posts)the Bundy Crew and bring the case back into Court. We shall see. Some of the Players are running afoul of the Law back in their own Communities.

(1,387 posts)about the Nightline interview :
By not answering the questions put forth, it sounds like Mueller was trying to protect a classified counterintelligence operation. We have seen the FBI and Justice prosecutors behave this way in countless cases. And yeah, we've seen them get it wrong (Whitey Bulger).
Considering corrupt elected politicians were involved, it might have been deemed necessary to keep all pols. in the dark. Sound familiar ?
Why Mueller as Speicial Prosecutor ? Knowledge of the players ? Why did Mueller take that job interview with Trump ?
A job unfinished, can be extemely frustrating.
I think parts of this case are still playing out. Hopefully , they'll get it right.

(11,175 posts)It's a constitutional right. Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963).
It's disappointing that, more than half a century after Brady was decided, prosecutors are still screwing around with disclosure.
I don't like the Bundy bunch. I don't like the people Mueller is investigating. But even despicable criminal defendants have rights that must be respected.

(51,630 posts)100% accurate and foolproof. Many political commentators and attorneys are now saying that the investigation will easily go into 2019. Lots of documentation is what will sink all of them. We only know a very small part of how complicated it is. If Mueller is going to nail Pence and probably Nunes, Rohrabacher and Ryan it will take a long time. Our reward may be getting Pelosi as the interim president until the next legit election in 2020.

If we start locking up our criminal Presidents, we will end up looking like a banana republic -- even though they deserve it.

This will be the biggest mob prosecution ever, I think.

(51,630 posts)the investigation will go into 2019. Mueller is being VERY thorough and there are a lot of documents which is the key to making any charges stick. All the money trails in the various countries is endless. I can imagine that Mueller needs a separate warehouse to store the documents on Jared alone. The experts in this field said that they have never seen so much corruption, both political and financial, in any other admin as this one. This will be a whole chapter in future history books.

(3,608 posts)the next couple of months and then a backing off ....then it should pick up again after the midterms and will go into 2019.

(108,995 posts)I worked as a paralegal a long time ago, and I still remember how the legal secretaries proofread important documents. They worked together, two to a team, and they proof-read BACKWARDS. Because errors stick out more that way -- our eyes don't just skip over them.

(34,137 posts)She worked for a company that published municipal, county, and state codes after new laws were passed. Same thing, they had two person teams that read the things to each other. It was tedious and time consuming and she hated the job.
The one major redeeming factor was that once she finished law school, she passed the bar exam the first time.
