    They don't need defending in this case.

    Nunes went nuts.

    Why is he ducking the press after the big showdown, Chris?

    He's a congressman who made a big deal about it before it happened.

    That's not a good reason Pavlov. Why is Nunes obliged to talk to CNN?

    Why not comment on the big showdown?

    Trump’s legal memo to Robert Mueller is a recipe for tyranny

    A clear and present danger to the rule of law

    Essentially all presidents sooner or later end up commissioning lawyers to put forward an expansive view of presidential power, but those lawyers take pains to argue that they are notmaking the case for a totally unchecked executive whose existence would pose a fundamental threat to American values.

    Donald Trump, however, is a different kind of president.


    In a 20-page memo written by Trump’s legal team and delivered to Robert Mueller, as reported by the New York Time’s this weekend,

    they make an unusually frank case for a tyrannical interpretation of presidential power.


    Trump’s lawyers say he has unlimited power over criminal justice


    The key passage in the memo is one in which Trump’s lawyers argue that not only was there nothing shady going on when FBI Director James Comey got fired

    there isn’t even any potential shadiness to investigate

    because the president is allowed to be as shady as he wants to be

    when it comes to overseeing federal law enforcement.

    He can fire whoever he wants.

    Shut down any investigation or open up a new one.

    This is a particularly extreme version of the

    “unitary executive” doctrine that conservative legal scholars sometimes appeal to

    (especially when there’s a Republican president),

    drawing on the notion that the executive branch of government —

    including the federal police agencies and federal prosecutors —

    are a single en y personified by the president.


    But to push that logic into this terrain

    would not only give the president carte blanche to persecute his enemies

    but essentially vitiate the idea that there are any enforceable laws at all.

    https://www.vox.com/2018/6/3/17421300/trumps-interview-subpoena

    So I suppose after great intellectual legal laboring, Trash's ty lawyers can only say, the only way that Trash can be saved is that

    "Trash is above the law, so the investigation is bogus, and Trash can stop it without any repercussions"

    ... so why doesn't he stop Mueller now? Why the hesitation?

    2 things about that. 1. No he does not have that power. 2. Funny how he didn't say that Trump had no need to pardon himself.

    Mark Penn “Why are there people from the Clinton Foundation on the Mueller Staff? Why is there an Independent Counsel? To go after people and their families for unrelated offenses...Cons ution was set up to prevent this...Stormtrooper tactics almost.” A disgrace!

    Awkward: Rudy Giuliani Opens MTP Interview by Calling Chuck Todd ‘Todd’… Then ‘Chris’

    Just moments after being welcomed to the show by MSNBC’s Chuck Todd, Giuliani called him by his last name.

    “It’s nice to be with you Todd,” he said.


    Todd, aptly called by that name in news reports but not during on-camera interviews, began to respond as Giuliani noticed the blunder, piping up with, “Chris!”


    “We’re not playing baseball,” the attorney joked.


    Todd laughed, making light of the moment.


    “We won’t do the last names, Giuliani,” he said.

    so obama and/or clinton were willing to do this "worse than watergate" spying and fake investigation, no problem.

    but releasing unverified information that could have swung the election and allowed them to get away with it? nope, they're too honorable to do that

    which defeats the purpose of this whole conspiracy theory. making the dangerous play of breaking the law at every step that they aren't going to use UNLESS trump, the guy who can bust them, gets elected.

    look, its not my fault your theory doesnt make sense
    yup, zero sense. Not to mention that now-bad-dude Comey was then-good-dude Comey because he had no qualms reopening the investigation on Shillary, days before the election.
