Dem Sen Blumenthal: ‘Any Kind of Crime Is Fair for the Special Prosecutor to Pursue’

55

It is already a treasonous farce, because you only appoint a prosecutor if you have evidence of a crime, not to go on a witch hunt to overthrow the will of the people. The left and the RINOs hate Trump – they hate the common folk. We staged a revolution in 1776 against this very kind of thing.

If they overthrow the will of the people, the people must throw back. We cannot take this with a shrug.

UPDATE: GR reader points out: ” It cuts both ways because senate candidate. Blumenthal lied about his military service in order to attract the Veteran community vote. Therefore, he committed a crime under the False Claims Act and should be held accountable for his deception of the voters in order to obtain their votes and defeat his opponent.”

I submit that if the whole of the U.S. government with its enormous wealth and power investigated any American, every basic aspect of their life, their dealings, everything, they could indict a ham sandwich.

Dem Sen Blumenthal: ‘Any Kind of Crime Is Fair for the Special Prosecutor to Pursue’

August 4, 2017, by Ian Hanchett, Breitbart:

On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “OutFront,” Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) argued that it would be fair for Special Counsel Bob Mueller to pursue any kind of crime.

Anchor Erin Burnett asked Blumenthal, “What about if they’re looking at financials and they find a financial crime, but it is not related to the election or to Russia? … Is that fair game, as it was for President Clinton?”

Blumenthal answered, “For the special counsel to be pursuing financial crimes or dealings that may lead him to charge others, like Michael Flynn, with financial crimes, and then for Michael Flynn to provide evidence that’s relevant to collusion and conspiracy between that Trump campaign and the Russians, also is well within the mandate of the special counsel.”

Burnett followed up to ask if Blumenthal was saying that it isn’t fair game if the special counsel finds a crime that isn’t related to the election or Russia.

He responded, “Any kind of crime is fair for the special prosecutor to pursue. If the special prosecutor finds a violation of law, he can pursue it himself, or he can turn it over to another prosecutor.”

Correct. All Mueller can do is offer his findings and recommendations to the DOJ and special committee. Which is all the Leftist rats like Schumer are waiting for to launch impeachment proceedings. This was about stopping Trump’s America First agenda from day one.

Erin Burnett makes me sick! Gawd I hate that b****.

Would Blumenthal say the same about any offenses being fair game, say, in the case of an illegal alien who had been deported five times and wound up killing a US citizen in San Francisco? Remember, he is the guy who also falsely claimed to have served in Vietnam. Oh yes, he kept the VC out of Hartford.

The Watergate Commission was led by a special counsel to investigate a crime. This special prosecutor is leading a commission in search of a crime to be fabricated later.

Agreed. If you asked Mueller what constitutes an indictable offense, he would sound like Robert Frost on the subject of love, “It’s indefinable. I’ll know it when I see it.”

This is just one man’s opinion, but Senator Blumenthal, as a veteran of the Vietnam War, deserves our respect. He has earned the right to state his views. The Senator’s heroism in the service of our country stands in contrast to President Trump’s shameless avoidance of national service as a student at the University of Pennsylvania in the 1960s.

You may agree or disagree with Senator Blumenthal, but at least respect his service — and honor his commitment to finding out the truth about the Trump campaign’s collusion with Russia to hack the election and disenfranchise undocumented voters. This is a moral issue. This is why we have a free press.

President Obama has taught us the importance of humility. We must be ever mindful of the high horse of White Privilege. This is what Bob Mueller should focus on, not whether or not there is a smoking gun in NSA surveillance records. The Honorable Rep. Maxine Waters is right that the Trump White House is in itself a crime. That is the essence of the American system of justice.

Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. Thank you for your consideration.

Gee, I didn’t think anyone could be that flipping stupid with a straight face. Of course i’m surrounded by lib tards where I live, our local weekly paper has interesting op eds every week that deal with global whining, my God how they will all die if the unaffordable care act gets repealed, the one I just had to rebut about how Trump stole the election with all that help from Russia that no one seems to find evidence of(Hint- the DNC and Podesta are not “our election” Or even ” our Democracy”.) Political parties are among the groups who put forth candidates to appear on the ballot when “The Election” takes place. “The Election” is when one goes into the voting booth to pull the lever, mark your ballot or make your selection on a touchscreen, none of which are connected to the internet. I had no KGB operative holding my hand when I voted, Hillary would not get my vote even if she was the only one on the ballot, in fact I have never voted Dem. And never will.

THIS IS A LIE> Look it up . He never served in Vietnam. He was in the reserve. His lying body never left the U.S.He made that statement to ingratiate himself with voters .As far as i am concerned this man is a disgrace to any veteran that served in Vietnam .He should be ashamed of himself. He should spend a day at the Vietnam memorial. He should then thank every honorable men that died in Vietnam . There are 58 thousand honorable men that gave their lives for their country. His lies just show what kind of person he is. This is who the democratic party left that will say to get elected..I am a ashamed as a Vietnam veteran that this liar can walk the halls of our capitol building. Who care what he thinks. He is a slime ball.

Ok, besides the lie about serving in Vietnam, there’s no such thing as “white privilege” and there’s nothing honorable about Maxine Waters.

Lastly, the truth about Democrats is that whatever they’re accusing Republicans of doing is exactly what they’re doing; they use the accusation to deflect attention away from them.

9 You are so full of falsehoods it is pathetic. This senator FALSELY CLAIMED to have served in Vietnam when he did not. He is a fraud and a liar. His “service” deserves no respect when it is false. Barack Obama would not know humility if it bit him. He is one of the most arrogant and narcissistic people on earth.

What you posted is all screwed up! There is nothing “honorable” about Maxine Waters! Sounds like Blumenthal is lying about his service from what others have posted! Trump got a medical waiver for heel spurs and if you have ever had any you would not be calling him shameless, I have had them and could hardly walk and they are not easy to get rid of and last for yrs. How could anyone serve with pain in their feet?? Do a little research on what you posted!

President Obama is a dishonorable person- he is screwing around with this administration, if you want to live under Muslim rule, keep supporting the Left ideology.

President Obama has taught us the importance of humility.

No, the imposter Øbozo showed us unbridled NARCISSISM, and an out-of-control ego. Humility was weeping in the corner, ignored, light-years away.

Then again, when you’re a slave to the puppet-master Soros and the various oligarchs he represents, the curse of Narcissus is the least of your worries.

Senator Blumenthal should be honored for his service. But, when he tries to destroy the very country he fought for, he no longer deserves respect. In fact, he deserves contempt. He is a traitor. And you know how the military views traitors. Sen. Blumenthal is no more acting for the benefit of the citizens of this country than John McCain is and many others like them. Instead of wasting his time and our taxpayer money on searching for nothing, Blumenthal and friends are more and more forgetting about Russia, because they can’t find anything, and moving on to something, ANYTHING to nail Trump with. You call that ‘honorable.’ You call that ‘heroic.’ You probably do because anyone who truly believes that Obama ‘taught us the importance of humility’ belongs in a mental hospital.

America is on a slippery slide with such thinking, the conceited and not very bright Erin Burnett a loathsome fool. These people, so filled with intolerance and hatred of Trump and conservatives, have no understanding of or instincts toward justice and fair play. As to the Republicans who endeavour to undermine Trump, the not very clever John McCain and Lindsay Graham among them, I truly hope that for them the chickens come home to roost. I truly hope that Trump weathers this storm and turns the tables on Robert Mueller and James Comey who has revealed himself for the scumbag he is. His one hypocrisy is pretending that he believes a president has the right to fire a FBI director. My view is that both the FBI and CIA are pathetic shadows of what they once were, Phillip Mudd on CNN representative of the shabby organization the CIA has become. This man is a babbling fool and others we’ve seen barely better.

The Democrats in general terms, the Clinton Crime Syndicate specifically, are alleged to have committed crimes of epic proportion – and no one is in jail. Meanwhile the Dems are on a witch hunt looking for some morsel of evidence of jay walking. Senator Blumenthal, I don’t know how you look yourself in the mirror every morning. Clean up your own house first and them demand high levels of perfection from others.

why do you even have a special council to decide and prosecute a elected president ? should this not require congressional committee to first look into evidence to even decide on to prosecute the president or not first ?

Then only if 60% elected members support the move there should be prosecution . otherwise its just subverting the elected president.

Obama got away with sealing all documents that could have got him prosecuted, Trump should do the same to shut them down ………. or this racket will go on forever.

Time for every trump supporter to advice him to do that . If required pass executive order and use obama’s example to expose the critics.
