Robert Mueller's record shows surprising flaws

I don’t blame you for running from my question.

If Trump can effectively demonstrate that the Mueller investigation is compromised, then he would be justified in ending it. Then impeachment would be politically problematic. As for the coming indictments, if they are no better than the last ones, Mueller’s investigation will go nowhere.

I don’t blame you for not defending Weissmann. Or Mueller, for picking him.

Mueller enjoyed an outstanding career as FBI director and also enjoyed smooth sailing as special prosecutor. Now that he is getting very close to the top, you want him removed from office. Its so obvious what you are trying to do, it just wont work.
No one will ever believe that this investigation is compromised!

the problem is political.
Mueller is an albatross around Trump's neck.

It's obvious all he cares about is collecting scalps, and has no sense of perspective.
He's basically operating like he has a general warrant (which he does) but instead of some restraint
and sticking to WHY he was appointed, he's off on a fishing expedition..

It's going to be a mess of indictments, unrelated to Russian collusion ( since we know that is bogus)
that will continue to dog Trump -while showing no collusion..

Firing him just means another hack comes in. Mueller is the worst choice -but the S.Counsel is the real problem.
It's why Congress won't use them anymore

STFU unless you want to add or refute others posts. Simply saying "lies" is a bogus cop out on your part.

Tell us about those "partisan" attack dogs working for him?
Mr. Mueller is allowed to go wherever the crimes and evidence take him, but it is so far all about the Russians. Should he find other non related crimes, he is able to investigate those also.
Where is this investigation far from Russian collusion, be specific!

Can you read lol?

What do your eyes tell you about my Weissmann post? Why would Mueller pick him?

Answer the question.
 
Mueller's prosecutorial discretion looms over the Trump presidency.

On what terms would Mueller offer immunity from prosecution to investigative targets? How broadly will he interpret his mandate to look into not only the 2016 campaign but also matters that "may arise directly from the investigation"?

Will he target Trump's sprawling family business and financial empire and the years before the developer ran for the White House?

no discretion. He's obviously going way past any ties to collusion.
It's the very worst aspects of SC -and Mueller is a poster child for them all

Is Muellers mandate to only investigate collusion?

"and matters related".. do you think he will show any discretion to limit himself to his charter? ( no).

Prosecutors are supposed to be more then mindless attack dogs-you know the phrase " a grand jury can indict a ham sandwich?". Good prosecutors don't overcharge.

By all accounts Mueller never limits anything

You need to read again the letter from Rosenstein appointing Mr. Mueller and the scope of his appointment

Can't see the OP. But your description is apt. All of trump's policies directly affect him negatively, but he still waves the orange pom poms.

now you are reduced to individual attacks, instead of addressing topics. You should at least read an OP when commenting on a thread

I always take the Big Picture look at politics- what's best for the country-not that i agree with your characterization

Now you can ignore this and continue the ad homs.

Andrew Weissmann:

“Not everyone is a Weissmann fan. Sidney Powell, a federal prosecutor who is past president of the American Academy of Appellate Lawyers, wrote an opinion piece in the Hill that said, in part, that Weissmann “is not just a ‘tough’ prosecutor. Time after time, courts have reversed Weissmann’s most touted ‘victories’ for his tactics. This is hardly the stuff of a hero in the law. Weissmann, as deputy and later director of the Enron Task Force, destroyed the venerable accounting firm of Arthur Andersen LLP and its 85,000 jobs worldwide — only to be reversed several years later by a unanimous Supreme Court.”

____________

His ‘best’ indictments are overturned ‘time and again’ by the courts. And his Enron work, which put 85,000 people out of work and threw some into jail—-was unanimously, overturned by SCOTUS.

Unanimously, overturned by SCOTUS. That’s actually sort of an accomplishment for a federal prosecutor.

He should be embarrassed to show his face in a courtroom as a prosecutor. But the really interesting question is why Mueller would bring on such a sketchy character. He couldn’t find somewhere better? Less interested in justice than in getting Trump?

What do you think?

[FONT=&quot]However,[/FONT] Pacific Standard Magazine disagrees[FONT=&quot] that the Enron prosecution was a bust and, in fact, argues that it could provide a template for Mueller now. “The Enron team was patient and learned from its investigative and trial mistakes. After its yearslong run, it set a high-water mark for complex, high-profile financial inquiries, successfully indicting and imprisoning almost all of the company’s top executives,” the magazine reported. “Early on, the Enron team also won a jury conviction of the Arthur Andersen accounting firm, Enron’s auditor, on an obstruction-of-justice charge. That experience could prove valuable as the Russia team investigates.”[/FONT]
