How's about the revolving door between congress and influence peddling, eeeerm, I meant lobbying.

There's so much intrinsically wrong with western politics, in all western nations.

She has said so. I do not to argue with an anti Semite about something they will never admit. Your excuses are old and transparent.

Trump friend Roger Stone suggests Robert Mueller ‘framed’ him in Instagram post that could violate gag order
PUBLISHED 6 HOURS AGO
Dan Mangan

Roger Stone on Sunday suggested he has been “framed” by special counsel Robert Mueller in an Instagram post.

The post appeared to run afoul of Judge Amy Berman Jackson’s barely week-old gag order barring President Donald Trump’s long-time friend Stone from criticizing the prosecutors in the criminal case against him.
Mueller has accused Stone of lying to Congress about his efforts to have WikLeaks release information before Election Day 2016 in an effort to damage Hillary Clinton’s candidacy.

Roger Stone, a former advisor to President Donald Trump, exits the Federal Courthouse on January 25, 2019 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Mr. Stone was charged by special counsel Robert Mueller of obstruction, giving false statements and witness tampering.

Roger Stone on Sunday suggested he has been “framed” by special counsel Robert Mueller in an Instagram post that appeared to run afoul of a judge’s barely week-old gag order barring President Donald Trump’s longtime friend from criticizing the prosecutors in the criminal case against him.

Stone deleted the only image in that multi-image post that included “Who framed Roger Stone” language shortly after CNBC emailed his lawyer to ask about it.

Stone’s post was put online less than 48 hours after the judge, Amy Berman Jackson, ordered lawyers for the admitted Republican “dirty trickster” to explain why they did not tell her earlier about the planned publication of a book by Stone that could violate her gag order on him.

Stone announced on Instagram in January that he was coming out with the book, “The Myth of Russian Collusion: The Inside Story of How Trump Really Won.”

In her gag order in U.S District Court in Washington, D.C., Jackson barred Stone from “making statements to the media or in public settings about the Special Counsel’s investigation or this case or any of the participants in the investigation or the case.”

The gag extends to “posts on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or any other form of social media.” If Stone violates the order, Jackson could order him jailed without bail until his trial.

Jackson had slapped that order on Stone on Feb. 21 after he posted on Instagram a photo showing the judge’s face next to a rifle scope’s crosshair.

2:12 PM - Feb 18, 2019

Stone’s new post is comprised of a rotating series of images that ask for money to support Stone’s defense to charges that he lied to Congress and tampered with a witness.

One says, “I am committed to proving my innocence. But I need your help.” Another photo, which shows a young Stone standing behind Trump years ago, says, “I’ve always had Trump’s back. Will you have mine?” Two other images tout a “Roger Stone Did Nothing Wrong” t-shirt and “Stone Cold Truth” sweatshirt.

The post originally had an image showing Stone wearing eyeglasses under the words “Who Framed Roger Stone,” a reference to the movie “Who Framed Roger Rabbit.” The image has been on the Internet for some time.

New in Instagramland: Roger Stone, using Insta stories (which disappear after 24 hrs), suggests he’s being framed.
1:40 PM - Mar 3, 2019

A spokesman for Mueller declined to comment Sunday. Stone’s lawyer did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Stone, who remains free on a $250,000 signature bond, was arrested in Florida in late January and has pleaded not guilty to the seven counts against him, including making false statements to Congress, witness tampering and obstructing justice.

Mueller has said Stone lied to Congress about his alleged efforts to have WikiLeaks release material hacked by Russian agents from Democrats, including Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman, during the 2016 campaign that ended with Trump’s victory.

An indictment alleges Stone was in contact with top-ranking Trump campaign officials about efforts to leak damaging information about Clinton right before Election Day.

@neptuneblue,
Time to ask a higher court to remove the judge from the case, IMO.

One can always ask.

Lol.

The answer will be no. There's absolutely no grounds for removal.

Judicial bias is very much grounds for removal. Witch hunts are bad.

You guys realize that when you leave Facebook Click ID codes in your links you just let Facebook track who else clicks your links.

Links work just fine without Facebook tracking codes attached to them.

Rand Paul: Supreme Court likely to strike down Trump emergency declaration.


Published March 3, 2018
Quote:
"Without question, the president's order for more wall money contradicts the will of Congress and will, in all likelihood, be struck down by the Supreme Court," Paul wrote in a Fox News op-ed published on Sunday evening.

The GOP senator predicted that Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch, Trump's Supreme Court nominees, "may rebuke him on this."

Trump's emergency declaration is already facing legal challenges. Trump predicted last month that the Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit will block his move to declare a national emergency to build the U.S.-Mexico border wall - but that he'll win the fight at the Supreme Court.

He said at the time that he hoped the administration would "get a fair shake and we'll win in the Supreme Court, just like the [travel] ban."

Trump declared a national emergency after Congress passed legislation giving him $1.375 billion for physical barriers along the border, less than the $5.7 billion he requested.

"Congress clearly expressed its will not to spend more than $1.3 billion and to restrict how much of that money could go to barriers. Therefore, President Trump's emergency order is clearly in opposition to the will of Congress," Paul wrote in the op-ed on Sunday.

Paul's op-ed comes after he told Republicans in Kentucky at a dinner on Saturday night that he could not "vote to give the president the power to spend money that hasn't been appropriated by Congress."

But Paul appears to go a step further in Sunday op-ed, specifically saying he will support the resolution of disapproval when it comes on the Senate floor in a matter of days and outlining his reasons for supporting it.

"Every single Republican I know decried President Obama's use of executive power to legislate. We were right then. But the only way to be an honest officeholder is to stand up for the same principles no matter who is in power," Paul writes in the op-ed.

He added that Republicans who were supporting Trump's emergency declaration after criticizing Obama's actions "will and should be condemned for hypocrisy."

"I stand with the president often, and I do so with a loud voice. Today, I think he's wrong, not on policy, but in seeking to expand the powers of the presidency beyond their constitutional limits," Paul wrote.

Paul's vote gives supporters of the resolution blocking the emergency declaration their crucial 51st vote needed to send the measure to Trump's desk, where he's warned that he will veto it.

With all 47 Democrats expected to support the resolution of disapproval they needed to flip four Republicans. In addition to Paul, Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) are expected to vote for the resolution.

Why not?

He doesn't have to. Congress rewrote the law governing the special prosecutor some years back, probably to avoid the widespread embarrassment and discomfort following previously released reports.
Quote:
"At the conclusion of the Special Counsel's work, he or she shall provide the Attorney General with a confidential report explaining the prosecution or declination decisions reached by the Special Counsel."

The attorney general will issue his own version of the conclusions.
