A Thread for the Mueller Investigation Results and Outcomes (Part 1)

She has a steady supplier now -

Looking at it purely from the perspective of Trump, he should have had Mueller fired weeks ago. The Cohen raid might have been avoided, and he was just as likely to get away with firing Mueller then as he is now.

I’m not a lawyer ( or even an American ) but my understanding is that the judge has much leeway to make the call what is allowed and what is dismissed *.

For example if some cop is often going on gray area the judge can dismiss something otherwise valid just to slap his wrists, when he would’ve accepted it from some other cop.
On the other hand there have been cases when a rookie cop has forgotten to Mirandize some repeat offender, and the crooks lawyer wanted some loose talk to be removed from evidence. The judge however has ruled that the crook had been arrested enough times that he knows his rights even without Mirandizing.

  • Although in some egregious cases he may afterwards get in trouble - I think the ruling still stands.

But like I said I’m not a lawyer.

I’d say that’s pretty much done. :frowning:

My Ass Goin’ Away

I hear they found a guy with the keys to a storage locker full of nothing. Boxes and boxes of nothing.

Firing Mueller is undoubtedly a bad option, but it may be his best option if he is guilty. Hell, I don’t know what his good option is at this point if he is guilty.

Not sure if this is related, but Kushner bought out the rest of his troubled building. Nobody knows where they got the money for this, or why considering that the property has likely lost value. I’m sure it’s totally on the up and up though.

There is a “plain sight” doctrine – basically, if the cops have legal authorization to look somewhere, they are allowed to take notice of any evidence of crime they happen to espy. Thus, if they’re executing a search warrant for a stolen car, they can look in your garage to see if it’s there, and if there are drug stashes and dead bodies and whatnot strewn around the garage floor they can investigate those as well. However, if you were prudent enough to keep the drugs in a drawer and the bodies in a footlocker, you’re safe – the cops can’t look in those places because they obviously aren’t going to find a car there.

Chuck Grassley: Mueller would ‘appreciate’ being fired from his ‘dead end’ investigation

Anyone have a prediction about what Trump blows up in Syria? We all know something will in the next day or two, as soon as he gets permission from Mack Daddy Vladdy.

These days, when search warrants include ‘electronic records’ and ‘electronic devices’, wouldn’t that mean thumb drives?

Hurriedly scribbles notes

But if they smell a corpse when they pass that footlocker, I think they have a reasonable grounds to check it out.

Except…they CAN look in places where you might have a weapon stashed that you could use against them. Like possibly drawers and footlockers.

Michael Cohen is the deputy finance director of the Republican National Committee. His name has mysteriously disappeared from the Party’s website.

No. He was in charge of the coffee cash-box back in the day. Just a nobody, had nothing to do with administration.

Ah! Glad to see Trump secured new counsel! Hope you do better than the last guy… and guy before that… and guy who wasn’t really hired in the first place, though it was announced he was… and the guy before that…

:wink:

Cohen, Papadopoulos, and Manafort would all fight for something to do. Sometimes, all three of them served the coffee to Trump at the same time: Cohen to prepare setting, Manafort to pour, Papadopoulos to fix to Two Scoops’s liking.

Eastasian spy assassinated him. Doubleplusungood, really…
