75. Whether Mueller goes -- and that's not going to happen -- Congress already knows that
Sun Jul 2, 2017, 12:40 PM
Jul 2017

it's too damned late.

Why? Because all the other seven lawyer investigators who're in place aren't going anywhere,
AND they've got their hands on the entire FBI -- the entire FBI -- all of whom are sworn to uphold the Constitution just as Congress is sworn to -- for evidence-intelligence-classified information gathering,

AND any new prosecutor cannot suppress any evidence brought forward;

AND SCOTUS cannot suppress evidence or misrule against any case supported by a preponderance of it, either.

Finally, if the military itself sees this government -- through politically expedient decisions -- do all the things you think they might do, which it will judge as endangerment to the security of the country through dysfunctional and unethical, political firings and hirings -- obstruction of justice, plain and simple -- it will step in. Don't think it can't happen just because it hasn't happened yet.
