I am not familiar with the writer who calls himself “Streiff” at redstate.com. But I think that his commentary about the reaming robert mueller’s investigation Star Chamber took from Judge T. S. Ellis is dead on target.
A few key excerpts – and please pay special attention to the last paragraph, which I have put in bold print:
In February, to huzzahs of delight from the media, the Democrats, and the NeverTrump people, Robert Mueller announced, via his errand boy Rod Rosenstein, the indictment of thirteen Russian nationals and three Russian entities for a variety of alleged computer crimes during the 2016 election.
This scam seemed foolproof. The thirteen Russians were never going to be caught. Two of the three companies were already under US sanctions and not likely to worry a whole lot about a US indictment. Mueller got the press. No work was involved. All is good.
Then in April, the most amazing thing happened. One of the indicted companies informed Mueller that it had retained US counsel and would see him in court. You could hear the collective sphincters of the special counsel’s office snap shut as far away as Kenosha, WI.
Because the Russian oligarch has enough money to hire real lawyers who fight for a living, Mueller faced real opposition rather than people with no resources to defend themselves. You can be excused for looking at the manhandling Mueller’s people took from Manafort’s legal team and concluding they aren’t used to doing much besides bullying indigent defendants into a plea bargain.
In other words, the first time mueller and his merry band of Democrat partisans (that is not an opinion, it is an objective fact) ran into someone with the resources to actually fight back, they got their collective asses handed to them.
Not surprisingly, mainstream media are not making a big hullabaloo over this. It pokes too many holes in their “mueller is going to get Trump” narrative.
But, despite their one-day-and-out treatment, Judge Ellis’s smack-down is what it is.
Moreover, if other targets of the mueller farce can muster similar resources, I have little doubt his ridiculous, unevidenced house of cards will continue to topple.
And unless some new – real – evidence comes along to provide reasons for feeling otherwise, that’s just fine with me.
