DOJ Blows Whistle on MUELLER; Illegally Threatened Flynn with New Indictment & Prison for Helping GOP Candidates
2018-09-05
[TruePundit] Justice Department officials are blowing the whistle on U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

Now we know why Mueller has continually delayed Mike Flynn’s sentencing: To silence the retired General and keep the influential Conservative out of politics and the crucial midterm elections.

In May, President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser Flynn canceled a campaign appearance in Montana for Republican U.S. Senate candidate Troy Downing. Flynn cited an unspecified "family emergency," as the reason for scrapping the appearance.



But that family ’emergency,’ according to well-placed sources in the Justice Department, was sparked by Mueller and his team’s illegal threats to indict Flynn ‐ a second time ‐ for obstruction of justice. What was Flynn’s supposed crime? Endorsing and campaigning for GOP candidates politically aligned with Trump. Flynn had just endorsed Congressional hopeful Omar Navarro in California and he planned to remain active in the run up to the 2018 midterms before Mueller illegally threatened the retired Army general, official said.

"Mueller threatened Flynn with new charges and prison time," one Justice Department source said. "He claimed Flynn was trying to elect Trump-like candidates to secure himself a (trump presidential) pardon.

The tactics don’t sit very well with many (prosecutors) at Justice."
Continues.

Cross your fingers. Here are data points to consider for future justice served.

Dec 2017: EO 12818: National Emergency was declared

Mar 2018: EO 12473: Amendments to the Manual for Courts-Martial was declared in March 2018 (but post dated to Jan 1, 2019)

Meanwhile $500M in upgrades were done to Gitmo this year. Including the installation of psychiatric facilities and padded cells.

Hold your hope.

#5  John Q it was never about Russian collusion. It was always about taking down Trump by any means possible.

#4  Somebody please explain why threatening anyone to get something else is not extortion?

I know the cops do it all the time on the teevee. Or is that 'play for pay'?

#3  Maybe true. But Mueller reports to Rosenstein who reports to Sessions who reports to Trump. Rosenstein seems to be damaged goods in that his signature was on the last FISA warrant application. The application was largely based on a fake dossier and made-up B.S. paid for by Hillary and the DNC. This was known by Rosenstein. It looks the warrant applications were rubber-stamped by the court. It looks like the Mueller special counsel has strayed way off course unless that course is trying to take down Trump.

#2  ...Possibly true, but unlikely at best that a single DOJ official is doing this.
